Chronos User Discussion / Re: Filming Rocket Testing - settings advice welcome.
« on: October 11, 2021, 07:18:15 AM »
Nikon1, I got the longest (50 feet) wire I could find. I will search further and see if I can get a much longer one. That should essentially get us to where we need to be. The only piece I don't have insight into is the material of the two buildlings that the signal will need to go through.
I've successfully used the 50 foot extension and the remote trigger through a few concrete walls at my office.
The 'remote trigger mod' I referred to is detailed here on the site:

<<To actually figure out the Correct settings, i would advise you to do at least two tests before shooting anything critical. >>
So, next up is to test these various settings in some sort of controlled way. I'm going to create a spreadsheet with different settings and test shoot the model rocket nozzles and see what I come up with.
There is no way to test shoot the actual items during a test as the are 'fire once' types of objects.
My hope was that I could send this camera to the facility with someone who is not familiar with photography but that is out of the question. I'm afraid I may have to travel to shoot these tests myself.
Thanks for the help. I'll post my test shots as soon as I get them.
