Thanks Bill,

I’m shooting at 1/50th of a second and 1080/24p. I take it that this complies with the 180 degree rule?

Hi,

Thanks again for the feedback, and good advice for future panning.

I dont think the problem is related to my pan technique in this case, the pan in sample video was performed with the camera mounted on a Glidecam HD 4000, the camera is balanced and the rotation is done using momentum on the main gymbal. Also I see in any high motion scen, even when the camera is stationary and there is a fast moving subject.

I just did a test which I didn’t think of until now, I plugged the camera directly into my HDTV. Motion is a LOT smoother. Unless my TV (a relatively old Samsung) has some special signal processing magic this all seems points to a problem with the cameras compression?

I suppose knowing my gears capabilities is half the battle. I just find the effect distracting when trying to capture good looking b-roll.

I would love to hear from other D800 shooters if there are any out there.

Thank you for the feedback Steve.

Do you mind if I ask wether you looked at the sample or are commenting on my written description?

I has considered rolling shutter (my GoPro suffers a lot from this) but expected more of the distortion effect I see in fast horizontal movement than the jumpyness im seeing on the SLR.
