First Time Aerial Filming Tips

[Tom Hamilton]

6. Compression - use the highest quality you can because aerial footage tends to be very detailed and every frame is completely different.

David,

We are planning an aerial shoot at 96fps, which limits compression to 12:1, is this quality sufficient for aerial shots in your experience?

Very important point David, so much fine detail in most aerial scenes... we can see the difference between HQ and SQ on the SRW1, when we look :)

A polariser is worth thinking about as you don't have control of lighting.
