sony rx0 II gyro stabilization with an fpv drone

[@BadLuckFPV]

This is seriously breathtaking footage. Gonna be working towards a setup with this camera

[@swoopyfpv]

thank you. appreciate it! if you'd like to fly a rx0 setup just take a lens into account... the stock fov is most times too narrow for a fpv drone :)

[@BadLuckFPV]

@@swoopyfpv do you use the anamorphic lens attachments?

[@swoopyfpv]

@@BadLuckFPV in this video i have the sirui wide-angle lens attached

[@hellohogo]

There’s a ton you can do to make this footage superior to GoPro if you’re inclined to do so. Cam settings, post workflow etc. this camera is better than GP in every way except FOV. Good test!

[@swoopyfpv]

agreed! still figuring out the best cam settings.. noticed some color banding problems so i'm now trying slog2/ITU709 instead of s-gamut ... seems like a lot some sony cameras "fake" the s-gamut... fov is the real problem, as a lot of fpv scenes are narrow, best choice for now is the mdl anamorphic. if you have any post tip's feel free to comment :) i'm also trying warp stabilizer which atm seems to work better than the catalyst option

[@marcolomiller]

@@swoopyfpv forget s-log. slog e s gamutt are for the 10bit cameras only. gofor HLG2 / cinema. i am using sony for the last 12 years.

[@swoopyfpv]

@@marcolomiller i disagree - sure it's only 8bit & on a lot of sony cameras the s-gamut is only a reproduction equivalent of a s-gamut curve - but you can adjust the pp in camera or go with itu709 instead and still get a very good image with really good dynamic range

[@marcolomiller]

​@@swoopyfpv believe me, HLG2/cinema is the best PP for 8 bits sony. free tips for you.

[@airx2144]

@@marcolomiller s-log 2 is for improve DYNAMIC RANGE, not for color... thats the reason you should correct it post....

Man thanks for making this video 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

Hi, I found your question on gyrodata extractinh. Did you ever find a way to inject into other footage? I have a Sony a7II and a RX0ii ...

[@swoopyfpv]

didn't find a solution

[@Achelon]

@@swoopyfpv oh man, would be cool

[@swoopyfpv]

@@Achelon there is a tool to extract the gyro data from the rx0ii as a csv + i think you can merge video with csv files and then stabilize with gyroflow but i doubt this will work with catalyst (if you want to dig further just ask in the "FPV Stabilization Tools" Facebook Group)

[@matysdroneflights3540]

Good!!!

[@swoopyfpv]

thx

[@SkyCandyVisuals]

I'm here from the stabilization fb page. I'm reading a lot of information but it's difficult to understand for a novice.i have a Sony a6000 could I stabilize the captured videos as well on that? Not prob ever gonna put it on a drone but I'm just curious

[@SkyCandyVisuals]

Never mind I see the cam you used already has stabil software built in. I guess the a7II would work then it has built in image stabilization but that a lot of money to carry on a drone. Sheesh

[@swoopyfpv]

as far as i know the a6000 does not record gyro data, so gyro stabilization via sony catalyst is not possible with the a6000 series.

[@SuperSigma69]

I think you shouldn't use a lens on top of the rx0 ii if you want to use post stabilization. Can you do more test without any lens (you mentioned you used a wide angle lens) on it?

[@swoopyfpv]

in theory the lens should not make any difference as catalyst stabilizes with gyro data & not image data. for me the rx0 without lens is barley usable because of the focal length... if I got some time I might check without lens (if I do so, I'll upload on ig not yt because as mentioned for me it's not that relevant, so it'll be a short test only)

[@KoenSpaansen]

swoopyfpv Nice man! Do you think is as good as a gopro with reelsteady?

[@swoopyfpv]

@@KoenSpaansen thx. nahh, it's not even close... it might be possible to get a better end result with a special mount (like the rs mounts for the session 5) soi would not rely on the gyro stabilization on the rx0 ii

[@KoenSpaansen]

@swoopfpv thanks man! i am looking for a lowlight camera to film in a dark studio... the rx0II is on that list. Its for a squirt...

[@swoopyfpv]

@@KoenSpaansen ahh, low light is better than with a gopro, but it's not that great as the rx has a f4. also with the stock lens it's barley usable because of the 24mm focal lenght, in tight spaces it's even more difficult

[@marcolomiller]

i could notice a jello on your footage. and now that i got my setup completed i can see it in my footage to. it gets jello whem stabylized with the catalyst. shutter speed are at the right place. using around 7% of stab. i did not like the results of stab. and warp also not good.

[@swoopyfpv]

jep, maybe it's possible to get rid of the vibrations with a more soft mounted camera - didn't try though. warp often works in my experience

[@marcolomiller]

@@swoopyfpv and i thinkl my quad is too much vibration and bumps in the front. trying to understand why

[@sebastiandrewett6652]

beautiful footage, what is the music?

[@swoopyfpv]

thanks. track is "of a feather" by "falls" and was licensed via soundstripe

[@ChrisParayno]

its a shame the rx0 doesn't have a wider FOV. great stuff!

[@swoopyfpv]

thx. true, thats why is use the 37m thread - i can add some lenses this way & get a wider fov :)

[@ChrisParayno]

@@swoopyfpv really?! I had no idea you could attach something to it. Does it weigh more than a gopro?!

[@swoopyfpv]

@@ChrisParayno yeah, it's heavier than a gopro but also depends what lens you are using :D - e.g the moondog anamorphic gives you a wider fov especially in width

[@mr-buffalow]

Hi...friend.. I interesting rx0 with anamophic lens like you . And I wanna talk about that things with you ... Do you have another way to contrect ot you.?
