Here's a CamRaw sample - looks nice and flat:

@BlueBomberTurbo

Thanks for the info. However, I don't think most of the m4/3s lenses are really that big. The 14mm and 25mm probably won't be visible. For the 35-100mm I might need to mount it further out. However, it won't be as useful with that. I will probably just mount it on the wall in that case.

The mount I have right now lifts the gopro up a significant distance. I can always crop to 720p as well. I am fine with that.

Some good information on the bandH photo site. It appears that you can use all previous back pack adapters. That is great because I had all of them and I didn't want to have to sell them.

@stonebat

I am getting the 35-100mm F2.8 and I have the 14mm F2.5 and 25mm F1.4. Those will work perfectly for my tighter shots when standing about 6-30 feet from the climbers that I film. Then the go pro will give me a wide angle shot as well.

It will also be nice to shoot still images while still recording video.

I am really hoping that my 14mm F2.5 matches up well with the GO Pro @ F2.8. Depth of field will be different but that won't matter as much for what I do.

I plan on leaving the GoPro recording indefinitely and specifically focusing on controlling the GH3. Once the GoPro is lined up with the GH3 I won't have to mess with it.

What I really need is a hotshoe directly to GoPro adapter. All I can find are hot shoe to tripod and then tripod to GoPro. Any ideas?

I am going to try out the GH2 + GoPro 1 tonight.

I am getting the 35-100mm specifically for the sport climbing season where I am typically 50-100 feet from the climbers and looking straight up. I really need some sort of IS for those videos.

@BlueBomberTurbo Please do so. I'm curious about its narrow, normal, wide fov because they look all wide angles to me.

GP's narrow fov covers 90 degrees horizontally. I'm guessing it's equivalent to fov from Lumix 7-14mm at 9 or 10mm.

@mpgxsvcd This would be my first action cam, and I’m learning more about it. HD3’s narrow fov would be wider than Lumix 14mm 2.5. If subjects are more than 5 meters away, they’d look tiny on the screen. Also ISO performance will get some hit since the narrow fov relies on sensor cropping like GH2’s ETC. Also the battery won’t last long with Wi-Fi enabled. The 2.7K mode can use only ultra wide fov that covers 190 degrees.

HD3 seems just a first person perspective action cam for capturing close proximity action + wide background.

The helicopter and zip line shots in the promo video were shot in 2.7k, this allowed cropping for framing, angles and some stabilisation, export was 1080.

At first I went on Vimeo to see if the video was uploaded their so I can download it but the best version is 213MB which is about the size of the video if you ripp the 1080p version off YouTube so I can clearly see that it's not the original. I then gave up and decided to put the YouTube link into Google search just to see what some websites are saying about the video and all of a sudden, I find a site that has supposedly the original to download. Basically, this is probably the actual file that was uploaded to YouTube. Me finding that was completely unexpected. Sorry if someone already pointed to where you can download the original file. http://fil.io/FL82vTNAs/Footage%20from%20GoPro%20HERO3

The triumph of marketing... that Hero3 promo video combined with the Baumgartner jump probably make for one of the greatest propaganda feats in history. With RedBull/GoPro behind this stuff its clear that the quest for adrenaline sells.

@Rambo You think it´s possible to mix footage from GH2 and GoPro 3 without seeing big differences? Wanna attach one to an ar.drone for aerial shoots.

I never had interest in a Go Pro Here camera before but version 3 is an entirely different story. Obviously we'll need more footage but it does seam like it'll be pretty incredible for $400.
