Flip video ultraHD Camcorder?




Michael


With the flip and the software could you play your video in slow motion? If so is it good quality still? At least good enough to see a golf swing and the club?


Answer
Hi Michael:

The better of the Flip camcorder models will record at 60 frames per second (fps) which is twice the normal NTSC TV frame rate of 30fps. But without any ability to change the shutter speed (what fraction of the 1/30th or 1/60th of a second the image is actually scanned at), you'll have a fairly blurred image in each frame of motion. (Just think of a still camera taking a golf swing at a shutter setting of 1/30th or 1/60, and you'll see what I mean.)

There are other camcorder brands and models, for not much more money than the Flip series, that will take up to 300 & 600 fps video AND have fast-action shutter speeds up to 1/1000 of a second. (JVC Everio series is one brand.)

hope this helps,

Golf flex maybe camera distorted?




J.R.


I recorded my golf swing with a iPhone 4s.. I paused the video in spots and took screen shots and I have a taylormade burner 2.0 with a stiff flex. It doesn't look like a stiff flex in the pic and I was wondering if the camera could be making it look like it is. Let me know what you all think.

Answer
It is the camera. It's called the rolling shutter effect. You'll get it with most digital cameras.
