... with the FS700 14 min would be a dream.
Not "would be", 'IS".
... with the FS700 14 min would be a dream.
I just ran a quick test this evening. I strapped a 5 pound plate to my gimbal (approximate weight of FS700+lens), wired up two 11,000mah MaxAmps batteries (4s) and got about 14 minutes of flight time. Looks like we'll be flying a FS700 very soon.
good luck dude, i'm sure you'll knock it dead
... Just done a test flight with our new SJ8 the foldable version, with about 4kgs under it...
Continuing to move forward with flying this camera... We got the gimbal stretch finished, so we'll be able to handle the longer camera. The reason I went for the long flight time is for the shoot we've got lined up - it will make life easier with the unpredictable subject matter. Hope to share the highlight video in 2 weeks if the client allows it. It's for a national commercial, so it may have to stay under wraps until the ad airs. We'll see...
How did you stretch the gimble?
Yes that was 240@1080. It's good for human movement but not enough for projectile or fracturing shots. 480@720 is pretty good though. 960 is unfortunately not useable unless it was for analyzing something. Although one could maybe get away with a picture in picture shot. And it eats time like crazy! We dropped a wine glass at 960 and it took 12 minutes on the Sd card file just to get to the point we started to drop it. Nuts.
your on fire..... the ropin was cool, what was the one shot that looked like bison? it went by fast, but looked 3d?
FS700 on our Cinestar...
