Blackmagic Camera for Aerial Video

The advancement in video technology has been incredible. I am very excited about two new cameras being released this summer from a company called Blackmagic. These are going to be great additions to our collection and phenomenal for aerial video.

The first camera is the size of a point and shoot but only shoots HD video. It can record RAW footage in both Apple ProRes and CinemaDNG RAW. This camera is going to be excellent on our smaller copters, especially the hexacopter.

The larger camera is Production which shoots an astounding 4K image. This camera will shoot from 23.98 to 59.94 FPS. It also has 12 stops of dynamic range, so with color correction, you have the maximum information in the highlights and shadows of the images.
