Interesting-thanks for the comparison.
Even the big corporations are using youtube now as their "source" for advertising. It's sad really-that Youtube doesn't have a better rendering engine-yet they can still host 4K video's.
I've used Vimeo as well-and it's quality, when last checked-was miles ahead of youtube. But, it is what it is.
The reason I de-fisheye is more of a "client" type thing.......trying to make the footage look less like it was shot by a Go Pro...if that makes sense.
I ordered this;
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1008476-REG/snake_river_52bf3m_blurfix3_micro_52_for.html
it's weight is a little over 4 grams. I just checked my ND400 filter(thin), and it probably weighs about the same-maybe less-it's pretty light.
I believe Zenmouse has corrected some flaws in their latest firmware(1.60), that was causing the gimbal to fall asleep during some particular flight maneuvers, and just when it felt sleepy.
I have yet to have it fall asleep again.....and, I can push on the start button of the go pro, without inducing "hibernation".
So now, the question remains-IF, I use the above combination(Blurfix+52mm ND400 filter), will the Zenmouse fall asleep? It will do that to protect the motors from burning out.
My plan is to "dry" mount this on the camera, power up the Phantom, let it find "home", then just hold it up, tilt the camera up/down, and simulate some G forces that could be experienced in a real flight setting. IF, the gimbal remains stable-then it's on to flight testing.
However-I won't be doing this without a "good reason".....In other words, I'll have some "insurance" in the event it falls off, or damages the gimbal. This may be a 1-take situation. But, getting true 24P, with the smoothness, using a Go Pro on a Phantom, would be a "game changer".
I've shot 24P in 1080 and 2.7K, all without any jello whatsoever. However-I really need to slow the shutter way down, otherwise the footage is useless in the "big timeline". It looks like 24P-shot at 1/1000th of a second-and that just won't work.
Why, oh why can't the Go Pro 4, have some manual control(s)??!!!
