The gang from SmugMug spent the last week up at Lake Tahoe hanging out and some people skiing/snowboarding and so forth.

Having just got my new 5D mkII, I decided to hit the slopes with it to test out the video...

I can't believe you took that camera on the slopes! And you guys lucked that it snowed a bit!

How long have you been skiing?

And did I get it right? Heavenly, Nevada side? Stagecoach? :rolleyes

I'm lusting after powder!

yeah, you're correct...we were staying just there on the bottom side of Stagecoach.

I've been skiing since I was 5.

Monday was definitely the best day, we had heaps of powder and it just went off.

Dev, Great run.

How big was that file in the camera?

Dev, Great run.

How big was that file in the camera?

Not sure what Dev's file was, but my 1 min full 1080 files from the 5d run about 275-300mb per minute.
I had a 3:15 shot run about 935mb.

Smugmug beta will only let me load 500mb or less files.

So an 8 Gb card can record close to ~24 minutes of video? - impressive!

You have to resize it. I had a 550Mb 2 minute clip that I had to resize in order to upload in HD.

Pathfinder - I'm pretty sure the clip will stop recording at 4GB. You can always hit record again though once it cuts you off.

the original file was about 820mb, but after editing/exporting from iMovie...it was about 170mb.

That was awesome, David. :thumb:thumb I can't believe you shushed the whole mountain while filming. Very impressive, and great production with the music. Wow.

Ok, now I want to see you do that on a mogul run. :wink

Cheers,

I know you can resize to get under 500mb, was just pointing out the limit.
Id prefer they raise it to 1gb then have to resize all my 500mb+ raw clips.:deal :D

Joel, thanks !

haha, don't know about a mogul run...my legs aren't what they were a few years ago.

But I have been investigating some mounting options, so that I could take it into the trees to ski some powder :D

At some point, the limit will be getting raised....but i'm not sure of the timing.

Thanks for the info.

I still love the fact you guys are letting us upload the 500mb files, anything more will be icing on the cake.:thumb

Great Clip! I imagine that would go extremely well with a James Bond music theme. :thumb

Way to heed those SLOW signs...:rofl

that was cool, glad a snow-plowing newbie didn't upset your run.

Absolutely incredible video.. I have been going back and forth on my feelings about the 5D mkII in the "do I really need a dSLR that can do HD video".... But the more I look into what it can do, the more and more I want one. :D

Now, all I need is money. :cry

PS: I hope with some practice I can get my video to look as smooth and good as this. Thanks for sharing!
