R5C + Dual fisheye post processing denoise and sharping guide please
Good suggestion! Will include it in my next post production tutorial!
I'm always learning something with you Hugh, thanks.😀
Glad to hear it!
Great video as always, thanks for sharing my ZGCINE products.😍😍😍
Glad you like them!
Thanks for your answer and that you might do a tutorial soon! :)
Does that also fix flowstate drifting when my camera is moving? It does not seem like a linear spin, so the more I turn the camera while moving it the more it drifts...
Great Infos 👍. One question how you start stop the R5C on the Gimbal? I connected the R5C to a TC-80N3 and fixed it to the one axis of the gimbal. It is not a good solution, but it is better than always tutch the R5C.
Bluetooth no cable lol
It is a special feature from this line of Zhiyun gimbal.
Great VR gimbal setup! What kind of content have you shot with this so far? Also… I cannot believe they got that thing to hold 15lbs!
Yes! It is not a cheap gimbal but it is very strong. I shot several projects but right now in post production under heavy NDA - it is not for my channel and it is BIG - you will prob see it on Meta soon...shhhhh...
@@hughhou it seems reasonable compared to DJI gimbals. That sounds fun. I love trying to figure out new ways and VR friendly ways to move the camera. Can’t wait to see when it comes out. Hope to work on more VR projects soon. I’ve done a lot of testing with different gimbals, I love it.
@hugh hou thank you very much for your answer regarding the drifting of the Insta 360 pro 2 flowstate. How can I correct that? It doesn't seem to be the same speed all time❤...when I turn around with the camera a lot it gets worse it seems... Or is Premier/Mystika able to see automatically recognize what's the correct direction?
A suggestion for a tutorial would be really amazing since I have no clue where to start here :(
So tutorial might be coming but for the time being, you basically manually animate the VR rotating sphere effect (or VR projection) PAN value. Find a point in the CENTER of your 360 frame. And animate manually to make sure the camera always point that way. Use animation curve to make your animate smoother. It is actually a very common workflow in 360 VR before Mocha Pro coming along in the picture.
@20:10 did you glue the 1/4 20 on the handle?
This should've been a no brainer for the product manager and designer adding a mount screw on the handle by default to add anti-rotating wholes.
I'm trying to add my Ninja Ultra so I can record to the monitor SSD.
I updated my comments in the thread.
It is a 1/4 to a quick release - by Falcam F22 - I use on all my mounting to have univsal mounting system
Thanks @@hughhou. I have a similar solution. I found the 2x 1/4 20 to 1/4 20 screw I needed in my bin. 😅 I had everything I needed.
I found that I had the Wooden Camera Universal Ultra Arm Combo with all that I need.
I really hope Zhiyun can see my comments. Maybe update the handle. I'd be happy to shop mine to a mill shop that can add anti-rotation wholes.
Heyo @Hugh a question about Mystika: How much better is the stitching compared to Insta360 Stitcher IF NO MANUAL ADJUSTMENTS ARE DONE (so just some automatic buttons but no manually creating safe spheres etc.)?
MIstika you need to learn manual adjustment - that is the whole point. If not don't get it. Use Boutique free first to try it yourself as it is same engine.
Okey, understood, thank you! :)
Is there any gimbal that can handle the Insta360 Pro 2? 1 axis (360 so it looks always in the same direction) would be fine enough. :)
This will. But you prob want to use it for VR180 as the arm will be in frame
What can I do against the Insta360 Pro 2 drifting when using flowstate? After around 7-10min it did a whole 360° while walking/driving around with it...
That is the internal flowstate stabilization problem. You can use Mistika VR to correct overtime or manually do it in Premiere.
Hi Hough :) I struggle a bit: While moving 30fps are absolutely unsuable but the Insta360 Pro2 only can handle 6K in 60fps (3D)...and filming in 2D (8K60fps) will cause stitching trouble....so what do do? I want the same quality as on my 8K images :(
6K60fps is the sweet spot of Pro 2 - that is what I film as well: ruclips.net/video/BrW7Xi6iooI/видео.html - you don't need 8K right now for RUclips and for most of the devices - it max out in 6K.
What are you using to mount the gimbal onto your steadicam vest?
Thank you!
Just 3/8 plate. My suite come with an arm that has a 3/8 plate to go under the gimbal
@@hughhou Gotcha! Thank you so much!
Regarding your answer that 6K60fps is the sweet spot: Since I make these videos for the future where all devices will be able to do 8K3D120fps, 12k and higher, I want to film in the best possible quality and this is 8K, by far (5.7K with 100mbps compression especially looks so ugly when watching in the Meta Quest 2...)
That also includes current camera technical difficulty as well :)
Does it work with R5C latest firmware?
Yes.
@@hughhou on the webpage it says only until 1.3 version. Have you tested it? I mean Electronic focus, aperture, ISO rec start stop.
Btw @Hugh Hou tried with the creators of flowframes (30→ 60/90fps etc. by AI) to interpolate 30fps 8K3D to a higher framerate - here some insights that might interest you:
1.) Best prosumer NVIDIA GPU was only able to do 4k3D, everything above is eating up to much VRAM/RAM
2.) Interpolating 3D causes some trouble since the 2 eyes are handled as seperate videos - I think the AI might make some mistakes here since it hurted my eyes more...Or what have you experienced when interpolating 3D360 to a higher frame rate? If that's true that would mean: Currently 3D interpolation is impossible :|
Well I don't use AI for 3D at all for upframe or I use this software: ruclips.net/video/EzpRM8lCwNI/видео.html - but do it sereprate as left and right eye (upscale not upframe rate tho)
Hm okey... thanks! :)
Thanks for sharing MOMAN POWER99PRO in your video😊
