Trying out a 7D/20mm at 720 60P.

Shot from an electric remote helicam.

Pretty sweet looking. Do you hang out any on the RC Aerial forums at RCGroups. I think your name is familiar from there. I do AP/AV as well but from planes so the 7D is a little to heavy for my use. At some point I will get the heli thing mastered. Still learning it.

The 7D footage was gorgeous. I did see a few spots where either the vibes or the codec got slightly muddy. Didn't see any CMOS jello though. I've always wondered how good the 7D would look from the air....now I know. Thanks for posting.

The 720 60P cleans up better with the faster refresh rates.
I'm thinking the T2i Rebel is going to be the tool unless the client absolutely needs 1080.

"I did see a few spots where either the vibes or the codec got slightly muddy."
I hear ya. When you have something dynamic in the foreground you can get away with a lot of movement.
When the eye goes to the horizon everything needs to be performing flawlessly in order to get the silky rock solid Cineflex that everyone loves. Or you can overcrank on a CCD :-)
