Unfortunately the only other Osmo owner around me has the same issue. I live on the East Coast in a pretty nice beach town. Hawaii was just for a trip/shoot.
You know, if the Osmo only drifted on turns, I could kind of live with that, but this thing is drifting on straight and smooth roads. I've even tested from 10mph up to 35mph with no luck. I may be going for some test shots at sunrise tomorrow. I might have to take some tape with me to test out the trigger. Even for non-timelapse it would still be great to have the Osmo keep it's frame.
The hyper lapse was for a specific client. But I also have been wanting to do one where I track a friend, who is an artist, while he is walking the street then come to a static shot somewhere scenic and then transition that into more of a traditional timelapse of him painting that scene. So it would go from a hyper lapse to a time lapse, if that makes any sense? Unfortunately with the way mine is behaving this can't be pulled off cleanly, even with shooting in 4K and then reframing for 1080 as the drift/wobble is just all over the place.
We have a film festival here every year and I've been dying to submit something, and this would be a short and sweet piece to enter.
Also, if you've every dug into the world of stock imagery, there are people making money with time lapse and hyper lapse. I think in small bursts they're aesthetically pleasing and can help push a story along in a unique way. |
