Chronos User Discussion / Filming Rocket Testing - settings advice welcome.
« on: October 05, 2021, 07:22:18 AM »
Hi all.
First, thank you for the help on the forum already.
I would like some advice for my use case. I will be filming a rocket nozzle test and want to focus on the nozzle, not necessarily the 'flame' at the end of the nozzle. The nozzles will be between 12 and 36 inches long.
I have a Chronos 1.4
A few mods have been done to it so far:
1. The SSD mod.
2. The remote mod.
For the remote mod, I don't think the 80 meters is going to be enough, so I got a 3.5mm to RCA cable that is 50 feet long. I'm hoping that extra bit will allow the trigger to work where it's needed. (The camera will be ~200 feet away and the trigger will need to go through a few building walls as humans aren't allowed near the test stand.)
I plan on getting a few Estes model rocket nozzles to do some testing with.
I'd love some advice from those with experience on settings that might be good for me to start experimenting with. The gain seems a bit limited as I think negative gain might be necessary?
Any advice for either:
1. Remote trigger from long distance
2. Rocket brightness mitigation
Would be appreciated.
Thank you.
*Unfortunately I won't be able to share the images that I capture from the actual nozzle testing. Sorry!
