Time lapse dropology

Thats awesome! Jeez that 1.7 was huge! both were huge! What a good
idea.

So how exactly did you take the pictures? Are they screen shots of a
video or a nifty camera thing?

Nice Tony!

I did that once using the burst shot on my Digicam. The results were
similar, but the drop was only about 1 meter. It looks cool with the
slideshow feature in the gallery:

UniBrier got some similar shots of g3orge, Harper, and I jumping off a
pedestal at St. Edward State Park last month. Here's the gallery with
the pictures: 'A bunch of failures'
(http://gallery.unicyclist.com/albux48). We had a bunch of unicycle
failures that day and that's the reason for the title.

It's neat to see drops in a series of stop action photos. I'm going to
make sure that my next digital camera can do a high fps burst of photos
like that.

So did I, although John's a purist so might have discounted them because
one is out of sequence. They are here:

I like the series of John because it has both the setup, airshot, and
compression. On the series of Harper I got too much of the setup, only
one in the air, and none of the landing. My camera is fine...it was all
Harper's fault for cowering on the pedestal afraid to jump. Someone
finally pelted him from behind with a filbert, which got him into the
air.

The Casio EX-P600 has three different burst modes. The fast one does six
shots in about two seconds at full resolution. The second one is
continuous, somewhere in the 1.5 per second range for as long as you
want.

Then there's the super-burst mode, or whatever you want to call it. This
takes 25 pictures onto a single frame at 1600 x 1200. It does them all
in about 2 seconds. So the resolution is pretty low, but the speed is
super fast.

So far I am digging the camera very much. The main advantages over our
QV-4000s:
- Tons faster: startup and shutdown in about 2 seconds
- Smaller & lighter
- Big LCD, visible in the daytime!
- Quicker access to most major controls
- Battery lasts a couple of days
- Crazy bracketing options
- super-fast playback

It does feel a little fragile compared to the QV-4000, and my external
flash plug managed to unthread itself from its mount. Hope I don't have
to open the camera to fix that. But I'm very much not regretting paying
a premium for a tiny camera that's very fast and versatile!

See a sample of the super-burst mode below. I've cut it down to half the
original size and compressed it. That's my nephew Austin, trying to keep
up with a different face for each shot.

Yes, those sequences were done with burst mode. Other than that I don't
know what the fps rate was or how the camera was set up, as it wasn't my
camera.

The 1.7m drop is probably one of the biggest drops I've done to flat.
It's almost my height (1.75m)!

Jagur - the Miyata bearing holders are OK in the setup I have - they've
been drilled out to accept a Profile axle and feel very solid. They were
not so good in their previous incarnation paired up with a Suzue hub.
They would slip side to side off the bearings, so I'd periodically
lock-tite the bearings into their holders. Not very satisfactory for
trials.
