The "No adverse affects settings" were created specifically for what you are trying to do. They are settings that are tested in every situation imaginable with all types of lenses. These settings are completely stable. I would recommend using the 720p @ 60 FPS low setting if you are going to be recording for many minutes.

I know that you said you are not interested in slow motion. However, 60p will give it much more fluid motion than 24p will. If you really need 1080p then the 1080p @ 30 FPS settings would be a better choice than 1080p @ 24 FPS.

I shoot tons of live action sporting events. Most of the climbing competitions my son climbs in are 1 climb and then your done. You don't get a second chance if the camera fails. That is why I created these settings. You can just shoot and forget about worrying. The quality will be just fine as well.

Here is the video explaining them and the link to the settings file. Just make sure you are using the latest version of Ptool and that you don't have extra settings already stored for this profile.

I thought I did!

but I guess it's hard to test it on biplanes, especially because I don't have access to one. Talk about pushing this camera to its limits! I will def. post some updates tomorrow when I test it running Cake and the Stock firmware on a Cessna at high and low altitudes, I'll try to get some footage posted too.

thanks @No_Surrender - It's difficult to know anything for sure - lots of people seem to have different opinions on patches from what I have been reading - I think I might be better off to try the stock firmware and eliminate that variable - that way I'll know if it's just the flight/plane that is messing this up.

@devinpickering

Even the stock firmware will fail in the right conditions with the wrong card.

update:

Just tried to crash it with flowmotion 2.02, same "corrupted" 32gb 95mb/s sd card, ISO 12800, all manual 24pH shutter at 2, iris to f5, aimed at cars passing, moving water, twirling the camera around, and other intense motion. Just recorded for 52mins straight. This is leading me to believe that something physical might be happening to the camera in the air... kind of an "ur durr" moment, even though I know that people have used GH2s in helicopters for aerials before - but I'll really find out what's happening tomorrow when I'm in the air.

@Meierhans

Really funny you should say that - I just bought 3 of the new Sony HDR-110 action cams, 120fps in 720p and 16mp sensor.... might be just a little better than a GoPro, but at least I'll get the shot!

no I haven't, I'll do that now though - I was trying to find the best software for that. Thanks @herbycamer

@Alex_K - Thanks - that's the third or fourth time I've heard that, so I'm going to return my 32GB and order the 64GB version today, hopefully that should help, plus 24L is still much better than stock.

Well guys, I just mounted the GH2 onto the strut of a Cessna, under high winds (a tad bumpy up there to say the least!!) - I wanted to see if it would crash again. I formatted the 32GB SD card using SD Formatter. I ran Flowmotion 2.02 - 24pH, Cinema profile, All manual. I used a remote trigger attached to the hotshoe, with my Marshall 5.6" LCD monitor plugged in so I could tell if it was recording, and check exposure, then I taped down my focus and hoped for the best.

Except for a little jello-cam here and there, It worked flawlessly. I used the 14mm pancake for this because I was happy with how it looked the last time it went up in the air, but I'm going to rent the 12-35 f2.8 with power O.I.S. which I'm thinking should help in that area for next time.

I'm working on the edit tonight, I should have something to post by tomorrow. Hopefully this will hold up this weekend - it would be amazing if it did. Thanks for all of your help so far everyone.

@devinpickering

Cool stuff. Although something looked really weird about it. It pulsed a lot and it looked out of focus in the background. Was this manual focus or AF. Try AF if it was MF. Try MF if it was AF.

Also I really disagree with using 24 FPS here. The motion was way too fast for 24p.

Honestly, try 720p @ 60 FPS, with AFC in shutter priority mode, 1/120th or 1/250th shutter speed(Depending on light), and with Auto ISO. Just use the stock bit rates or one of the settings that are completely stable for 720p.

Certain settings Ive tried have failed death charts. Thats all Im gonna say.

Yep.

@driftwood

• which settings? 24p? thanks for your interest in my thread
