Recording management: few long or many short?

[AlanTheBeast]

I was checking out an estuary that I plan to shoot in the fall and used both the MP and the P4P. As usual just after takeoff, set the focus and exposure, hit record and leave it that way for the flight. Stop recording at the end.

So, I end up with a lot 4.09 GB vids (and balances) on the cards to look through to find "production" material.

The alternative would be to record shorter sequences and end up with a long list of shorts to sort through and select material.

What's your practice?

And what if You missed the Right moment

So far my stuff is so boring that I can hardly miss anything. I'm not shooting cars, bikes, action, sports or anything at all like that.

Caught this yesterday (P4P) while doing a location survey (for shooting this fall...) however. (720/Cinema mode for best).
