Camera 's for slow motion swing

[stevek1969]

Afternoon lads , looking for advise for a mate of mine looking to purchase a camera that is compatable with an Ipad 2 so he can use GASP software., so he can show swings in slow motion. All help appreciated.

Personally use a Casio EX-FH100, great for slow mo but dont know if compatible with ipad im afraid, Murph may be your man as I know he was trying to get his swing transferred onto his Ipad recently

Murph mentioned he had the same camera as I do, review here... http://forums.golf-monthly.co.uk/sh...io-EX-ZR100-Compact-Camera&highlight=ex-zr100

There was an issue with losing the frame rate in the compression that the software uses though, but I think GASP was better than V1 for it.

Pretty conclusive review here. The best bit for me is I can record at either 120 or 240fps and then watch back instantly on a decent screen and can pause the playback at address, the top and impact as scrolling through in effect. Then if needed when I come back from practising I can download any I want onto my laptop in seconds.

Yep, I have the same camera as Gary. It's ok, and does the job. Gasp is way better than V1 for file compression, and the end result is pretty useable. I did a review (ish) of the whole lot in the review section.

Cheers Gary,Murph, i'll pass the details on to him. Did you have a lot of problems transfering swings onto you Ipad Murph or was it easy enough to use ,which one did you go for GASP or V1?

Thanks again for your input.

I have both V1 and Gasp. V1 is junk on an ipad.

To put stuff onto the ipad, I use a camera connection pack (standard bit of apple kit which enables me to plug my memory card from the camera into the port on the bottom of the ipad). The videos upload into the 'photos' app. If I then fire up Gasp, I go to camera, load from file, and it suggests the last files I put on by default. Click on a file, click use, and in she goes. Then hit save, in the tools menu, or it won't automatically save the file.

That camera connection doohicky sounds a bit good. Might have to track one down.
