Title: Video Recording Post by: sandeepm on July 22, 2009, 12:30:35 PM Hi everybody,
The day this Rcindia forum started. i also started putting my views, comments, new topics, new invention, new built, design, photos and videos etc. Many of us upload their built photos, maiden videos or any other videos. many of us is having good Cameras and video recorders,, and might be aware of using them. Photos are sometime good to see and sometimes not, as taken from a mobile phone. But most important are the videos of maiden or anything. What i can assume is that people use the LCD screen to shoot videos. WHICH IS NEVER RECOMENDED. unless and untill view finder is not available. i suggest to all video shooters to use only view finder to shoot a high speed moving subject. using view finder will give you two basic important points. One is, the subject can be kept in the center of the screen (better and full visibility) second is the support. when you use view finder, u are getting a support of your palm as well as your face, which will result in good and steady picture. LCD shooting will always gives a shaking picture. One more point, Never zoom in or zoom out with jerk/force, always use soft hand on zoom in and zoom out button. using jerk while zooming-in can blur the video. Also.......we put thousand of Rupees in R/C electronics every month ( :) i do not), suggest, put small amount of 1500 bucks in a small tripod and make a habit of using it.

What I have realized over time is that videos that shows the aircraft in relation to the ground at least part of the time are much more enjoyable than a zoomed up view of just an aircraft up in the sky. I guess the "frame of reference" helps us with the right perspective, enhancing the joy of seeing objects hanging in the sky. It is not possible to keep the ground in view all the time, except may be when someone is doing 3D/slow flights up close, but it is important for the person to realize that including the ground in the frame at least every once in a while would make the video (or even still photos) much more enjoyable. |
