We will be doing helicoptor aerials with a Tyler nose mount. The project is 4k 2:1.

1) is it possible to shoot 4k 2:1 at 59.94 with current firmware? My understanding is 4k will do at most 30.

2) would it actually be advantageous to shoot 3k 59.94 considering faster frame rates smooth out the vibrations better?

Thanks

Shooting 60 frames per second will only smooth out the image if you're playing back at a slower speed like 24 or 29.97. It is not currently possible to record 4K 59.94 onboard. Much more important is the quality of the Tyler mount and proper attachment by a trained professional. Equally important is an film experienced helicopter pilot, he will know how to angle the chopper in the proper way as to reduce the wind buffeting and smooth out the approach. Since the Tyler has no shell or gyro stabilization it is completely up to the pilot to execute a smooth shot.
