Iver 0 #1 May 24, 2016 Just got my tandem video papers and i am doing my first tandem in a couple of weeks (cessna 182). I am eager to hear all advice you have for me! Spesifically your editing worklflow, music(licensensed og not?), flying, safety and everything else. Planning to shot on a cx 115 (Wide angle lens) and a Hero 4 Black, Recommended settings? filming without an hypeye, is it better to go with to gopros maybey?

Pobrause 6 #2 May 24, 2016 I'm really looking forward to the day the last 115 dies... I mean they're still cool for rw and stuff like that but for a paying tandem student?! It's not 2010 anymore ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
linestretch 0 #3 May 24, 2016 Pobrause I'm really looking forward to the day the last 115 dies... I mean they're still cool for rw and stuff like that but for a paying tandem student?! It's not 2010 anymore Really? I'm still using my 110, performs like a rockstar and pretty sure there aren't any tandem students complaining about the quality. Iver, sounds like you have the equipment...but do you have the tools?...as in have you been practicing? I would like to think you got your video papers because you showed someone you can do the job. For my CX, I prefer manual focus and turn off video stabilization (or whatever it's called). I still shoot with a digital SLR so I can't help with the gopro. As for editing, it really depends on what your dz prefers if there is any. I prefer to keep it short and sweet, no need for extra shit on the video when really, it's all about the freefall.my pics & stuff! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody expects the latest cam equipment on the head of a guy that survived the Titanic The cx is still popular because it works with a hypeeye and old farts don't like new stuff. About a third of the last 50 tandem students I did video for asked me about the video resolution and if 4k was possible. Also when editing gopro 3+/4BE or the Sony equivalent action cam together with some cx 115 footage the cx just doesn't fit anymore. Since the Hero 2 the video quality from Gopro has surpassed the old cx100-115 line. Quote ok,,,so what would you use ? I personally fell in love with the BOSS system and currently use the AX 53 together with two gopros 3+/4BE for stills and backup, be it RW, tandem or fun jumps. There is quite a number of different setups that work well and produce decent video and stills, even without going the mirrorless/DSLR route. I don't want to tell you what equipment to use, but IMO nowadays for paying tandem students the video standard should be a little higher and more 'recent' ------------------------------------------------------- To absent friends Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
