First 5Dmk2 Aerial Test on RC helicopter

We strapped the new 5Dmk2 onto our electric helicopter to see how the footage looks. Very cool possibilities to use fisheye and ultra wide lenses for some dramatic never before seen aerial footage.

Duration : 0:6:19

I used final cut pro using the apple Pro Res Codec and then used H.264 to compress it for web. I prefer to transcode to Prores since it is easier to work with then the native H.264 files the 5dmk2 creates.

Thanks for the (amazingly quick) reply!

Moby! I knew it haha!

Anyway what format did you render it to and in what software did you edit? I use Vegas pro… when I edit sometimes the skew effect becomes amazingly visible…

On the cam even when I shake it's not visible really, just at the pc…

So what format do you render it to?

Thanks! :)

No special tricks in editing, just have to make sure the helicopter is running with zero vibration and fly as smooth as you can!

Also what's your precedure of editing? When I film ( even quite steady) I have so much skew/wobble etc…. looks like a cheap mobilephone camera sometimes…

Thanks in advance! :)
