It ’s weird that top mountain pass DSLRs like the Canon 5D Mark III or the Nikon D800 can only shoot 30 minutes of video at a clock time . It ’s hugely thwarting that it ’s not a technical school - based bottleneck at all . But the limitmight be elevate before long — no thanks to television camera companies , though .
The 30 - instant limit is actually in place to keep camera party from having to pay a 5.6 percent duty applied to a variety of items , including “ video tv camera . ” That designation kicks in at that 30 - minute bull’s eye . No fashion companies are conk to corrode that 5.6 percent if there is n’t a ton of demand for long shot — which there is n’t . But a new WTO freedom would extend to video cameras , freeing them from that tariff , which would open up the door to over-30 - minute cuts . But would that be a safe matter ?
As it is , 30 minutes is a foresighted time to shoot without a safety internet . And DSLR detector bleed hot as it is , so think two hours or eight hours of continuous shot in one file ? Risky , to say the least . It ’ll be nice to have such an arbitrary limit lifted from our cameras if this modification does go through , but it might have less of an effect than you ’d believe .
