Hi Daniel.
Sorry it took so long to get back to your question. The aspect looks stretched on the horizontal plane when loaded onto my iphone. They also look stretched when I play them back in ituned prior to loading onto my phone.
Thank you.

Thanks bogiesan for all those great links.
Vibration control on a really long lens no matter how solid the mount is still an issue, wind will blow on the lens itself, and even mirror slap will induce vibrations. That is why I want to find a way to motion track the frame. The image itself is way bigger than HD so the edge of the can be fluid. Maybe Shake or something in the Apple family might be more appropriate.

Hey David:

Thank you for the info. Will try AE Motion Stabilizer.

As far as reshooting, Pretty tough to control wind on a really long lens, wind usually accompanies clouds.
Best,
Jim

I have had mucho problems with the dual adaptor. Sent several back, tried on two different Mac Book pro laptops, one with tiger, one with leopard. I think it has something to do with a crummy connection between the card and the body of the laptop, or perhaps the dual adaptor cable. Maybe the strands within the cable are causing interference. Don’t think it is the card, have had problems with various p2 cards.
Found that hanging the dual adaptor over the edge of a table, using gravity, somehow makes the connection work. Better have the proper firewire to camera cable available at all times for backup.
The fact that Panasonic never provided a firewire based card reader because of their bias towards pc format machines is a shame.

I have used this system over a two year period without failure.

Just finished two years of shooting with the HVX 200 that won the Sundance Audience
Award. Never lost a file. Did not download files all night. Downloaded as I was shooting using two drives, one for P2 files, one for FCP converted quick times. The producer was young, and wanted to save money with the HVX. Did all the transfers myself. As long as you are doing interviews and b roll, no problem. If you are shooting cinema verite, prepare yourself for night transfers.

Shooting with a Varicam this month, cinema verite, glad I am not transferring at night. Think it depends on the nature of the project. producers patience and mind set.
