 Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2017 6:45 am Post subject: Virb settings - Yet another video |
 |
|
The settings that I use fits my needs best, and are as follows.video mode 1080P
field of view- Ultra Zoom
Loop- off
Auto Record- When moving
Digital Stabilizer- on
Lens correction- check
Of all the settings on the camera, the "Ultra Zoom" is the most important and gets rid of the fish eye effect.
I use Auto record simply because it makes its use "fool proof". I do have a remote, but I am so ingenious that I can still screw it up. With a good Micro SD card it will record up to about 6 hours, and none of us has that much range. You can still activate the camera while the virb is recording with the remote. The camera has Wifi, but its line of sight and not as reliable as a real remote.
If you want to see the G Metrix (Speed etc) you will have to use the editing program that comes with the camera. It ( to me) seems to be a bit difficult to use, but then I probably haven't invested the time to learn it. I make a basic cut of what I want to show, then export it to a folder on my computer. I will then import it into Cyberlink editing program and finish it there.
If there is any way that I can help you with it don't hesitate to ask.
Looking forward to some videos from you.
Larry

Well Larry, I received my virb elite yesterday. I took it out for a flight this morning. I mounted in the GoPro mount that's on my nose cone of my Firestar original. I used all of your settings. The camera works great,color, resolution, etc. unfortunately it's weight is a lot more then the GoPro session5. A half pound verses 2 oz. . Besides wind vibration I'm getting a lot of resonance vibrations thru the airframe especially at reduced or while reducing power. I was wondering how you mount your camera because your videos are so smooth and vibration free. I really like this camera. It's works well. Thanks, George
Have a great day!

This is where mine is located. I have tried every where else and this is the only place on my plane that gives me a decent video.
I have a pitot tube right through the front of the pod. I think I got it from LEAF and the original attraction is that the pitot tube can be removed. I had one bent at a airshow. By someones spoiled kid of course, so I got this one. The shorter you can keep the connections and extensions the firmer the mount.
The other spot would be on the fold hard point on the wing. You can record right side up or upside down in the settings, just no in between.
The mount is set up for a drift camera now, you would have to secure the cradle rather than the screw in. If you are fond of selfies the wing would be the way to go.

Well, I tried this mount today. I'll see how it worked as soon as the video finishes downloading?[img]cid:934AB4EB-68A3-47D0-AA1B-C58FE8B82E87[/img]

Well Larry this setup seems to help the jitters some. I think a lot of problems are related to harmonic vibrations caused by running a two blade prop. When changing power settings.
I'm going to try a wing mount next. I may try reinforcing under the nose pod where the camera sits too. Thanks for your help, George
Have a great day!
