Here's a documentary I shot for a non-profit organization. Gh2 w/moon t5 for the "A" camera and Canon t4i for the "B" camera.

'A Hora' - Short cut (one minute) with Drewnet T8 , smoth all-2

Look at this video shot with moon trial 5 shot in Low Light condition. Grain added on post with filmconvert.

Just another boring test video because I´m still searching for a new patch for my GH2. I already gave "Flow Motion 2.02" and "SpizZ T6" a go (I´d like a long GOP 12-18 and a moderate datarate around avg 45-60mbps for 24p + 60p). But with FM 2.02 the camera got frozen sometimes. And SpizZ T6 is still in an experimental status. So, I tried out "Slipstream 2". It has a really good quality, especially in 1080p24 mode. But a datarate around 70-90 for the latter one is too high for my purposes. So the search must going on...

Will do - many thanks matt!

@schlanger77 really good job man, i really enjoy the lighting! would you mind sharing some ungraded pictures of the training part?

@nic2011 If you find 'Sanity' meets your needs don't forget that you can create your own 'Sanity' with the improved audio patch if required by merging two patches. Sanity is a good option. Good luck

@bristo You should find that the files are smaller. The max bitrate will be lower, likewise the average. Less data =smaller files. The lower rates may also help with spanning. Test thoroughly before using on paid work. Good luck.

Hi, there is something wrong hapening when Im recording 720: I can record about ten seconds, and then there is a message in the screen that says "motion recording was cancelled due to the limitation of the writing speed of the card" then the camera blocks completely. I have a sandisk extreme pro 32 gb 95 mb/s. Any idea?

Moon T5 VS Cake V2.3 Lens cap ISO noise test.

I performed this test just because I was curious about which patch would be better in HBR30p mode. In real world testing I did not notice a difference in noise patterns. I know that Moon T5 pretty much trounces all the other 24p mode patches, but I was really surprised with the results from this HBR30p mode test. IMO Cake V2.3 HBR30p actually looks better in real world testing but the difference in the amount of noise with this test leaves me very intrigued. Based on this test ISO 320 & 640 seem to be the cleanest ISO's to use for the GH2.

@matt_gh2

Yeah, I remember reading about the ISO noise bug which prompted me to perform this test. If I remember correctly balazer stated that ISO 320 and 640 were the cleanest ISO's to use. I actually performed more tests on all the different ISO's the cleanest ISO's based on my test's are 1600, 1250, 640, 320 and 160, of course this is with the method of dropping down from the middle row of ISO's thereby avoiding the ISO bug. I am happy with both settings and each setting has its place in my quiver. I am not sure how Driftwood did it but Moon T5 has top notch quality in all modes, I just wish the HBR30p/720p modes where more reliable then it would be more versatile for me.

Moon T-4 setting for reliable HBR30p/720p spanning & recording.

I lowered the bitrate and adjusted some of the other settings in Moon T-4. I tested a number of different bitrates and anything 60Mbps & higher caused the camera to freeze or stop recording. 60Mbps seems to be the ceiling before the camera crashes in the HBR30p mode. The bitrates from Cake V2.3 for HBR30p/720p modes seem to be perfect allowing the camera to span reliably every time, so I used these bitrates to tweak Moon T-4 .

This adjustment allows for reliable continuous spanning in HBR30p & 720p modes, please note that nothing was changed with the 24p setting. My goal was to have a sharp & reliable setting for 24p, 30p and 720p recording modes. I performed some rudimentary sharpness tests, out of all of the settings that I have tested to date this seems to be the sharpest setting for HBR30p mode. The other thing that I was looking for while performing these tests where the noise patterns. IMO Moon T-4 has one of the better noise patterns for HBR30p mode. I have come to this conclusion after performing several different tests to analyze the noise patterns with different settings.

Here are the settings and other info for some of the tests that I performed.

1hr recording of the "Death Movie" for each mode = 24p, 30p and 720p.

Panasonic 20mm 1.7 lens for all of the tests that I conducted.

ISO 1250, F/5.6 AWB, Shutter Speed 50=24p/30p, Shutter Speed 125=720p

Full Manual Mode, Smooth -2-2-2-2

This setting is perfect for my needs... I finally have the all in one patch that I was looking for when I first joined Personal View. I am very grateful to @Balazer, @Driftwood, @bkmcwd, @Vitaliy_Kiselev, @thepalalias and the many others that have contributed to making these settings available to the rest of us.

Attached is the Moon T-4 settings that I adjusted for reliable spanning in HBR30p/720p modes. I prefer the Moon T-4 settings with lower bitrate, it provides a sharper image throughout the frame. Please try out these settings for yourself and decide which setting you prefer.

Moon T-4 All Intra 24p settings with lower bitrate = sete

Moon T-4= All Intra 24p merged with settings from Cake V2.3=HBR30p/720p settings lower bitrate = setd
