Gopro Hero 2

Just picked up a GoPro Hero 2. I'm wondering what you find to be the best setting for the camera for Video with your multi rotor. Also what setting for stills.

Thanks

I'm using 1080 and medium for vid. I've found stills kind of sucks.

I'm using 720 and 60fps to reduce vibes/jello. Yes, stills do suck a little.

Ben, you can get 50 pal or 60 ntsc on 960 also, The wide FOV sucks though.

rwillabee, I think the best setting depends on what you are shooting, close in I think 960 wide 50fps is great but for for higher or more distant stuff I prefer 1080 narrow 25fps. also depends on the weather, if its windy and theres a lot of unwanted movement a wider FOV can make it not so apparent.

For stills I just prefer to use 1080 narrow video setting and use a snapshot function, it doesn't sound ideal but there is no narrow FOV option for stills so it is not any better once its been run through wide angle correction and cropped

720 with 60fps I'd say is the best for FPV. You get a much smoother vid with these settings

hope this helps
