rolling shutter

PostTue Jun 25, 2013 3:48 am

Hello. I shoot a lot of aerials and use gyro stabilization.. Sometimes it does require a post stabilization and with a GoPro, or 5D, the rolling shutter usually ruins the shot... Does the 4k camera (or thr 2.5k camera) shoot the same way? or is the rolling shutter effect not there... Does this camera create the "jello" effect or not.. I usually like to shoot at a slower shutter speed (around 1/30th to 1/120th)..

If it doesn't roll the shutter and Jello.. I'll buy one tomorrow....

Thanks

The 4K camera has a global shutter, but good luck buying one before Black Magic ships it... :)

Yeah, but does the shutter roll or is it a better solution? I'll buy a 2.5k and get the 4k later if I know the shutter is not rolling.. I know it has a global shutter but does that mean it will not jello?

4k has global shutter which means no jello, and isn't available until July some time if it ships on schedule.

Current Black Magic cams are still rolling shutter so you'll get jello.

Thanks. I may have to find another solution, or wait until the 4k ships...

There aren't many options for cameras with global shutters in this price range. That is to say, none... until the Digital Bolex and the BMPC ship. The next nearest in terms of price is the Ikonoskop, AFAIK at 8900 Euros.

:shock:

I work with a gyro stabilised team and they shoot everything on their octocopters with gopros, 5d's 600d's all cameras with rolling shutter. They hardly have any problems with the jello effect. What is causing the vibration thats affecting the camera?
