I am filming a property tomorrow and keep debating on 1080p or 2.7k. What do you guys normally film in?
What do you film in? 1080p vs 2.7k ?

I'm at 1080 also and Medium. No props or anything in my video's.
Something I decided to do before I read it here was Do Not Select the FPV mode in the Phantom SW. The camera will move more with the FPV mode selected.

Hmm.. tough choices here. The property sits on 20 acres so I wanted to get a good height shot so distortion is definitely in my mind. I also want to get stills so 2.7k might be my best bet. I've always shot in 1080 medium and have never had a problem.

You can get stills from the video (any) if using the GoPro software. I posted a Link last week.

To get the best results from my GoPro H3 Black, I shoot in 2.7 cine RAW RAW white balance, Then I color correct do a 2.35 crop and export in pro res 422 and down convert to 1080 or leave it 2K depends on where it's going. Here are a few shots I did in that mode, these were low light as well..

It really does depend on what kind of results you want. 2.7k with Protune offers the highest quality and flexibility tho.
..but I often shoot Video+Stills so I shoot 1080/30, or even 1440/24+stills

Does 2.7K increase the jello risk?
For me switching from H3 2D to H3 3D meant changing fishtail effect for jello

Ok here is my exact settings and work flow. Hero 3 black. 2.7 k cine raw white balance protune on of course.
I also use a custom made acrylic ND8 filter I basically found a 77mm plastic (but nice) nd, I then trimmed it down and fit it into the outer rim of a knock off GoPro lens cap.
This was not an easy task to hand trim this thing, at first I thought I would be able to make 3 from one 77mm filter however it would crack and chip so I ended up with only one
It weighs nothing, and zero balance issues on the gimbal.
Once I shoot, I take the card right into GoPro Studio, I remove fisheye and render in the highest quality setting. I then export the rendered file as 2.7k Archive (its pretty large)
then run that through Apple Compressor and put a 2.35 (Panavision) crop on it. Regardless I never see props even before the crop. You can fix that by adjusting the vertical tilt max on the gimbal advanced settings to a less number, and always try to fly backwards to get those sweeping shots. I then output in ProRes 422HQ, and up load to YouTube. thats pretty much it. I do a bit a Color Correction in GoPro Studio, and then check the levels in FCP. I hope that answers some of your questions
