What is the longest HD video you ever shot with a 7D?

<p >I'm talking about one continuous shot, not several clips which are joined together.</p>

<p>I think I filmed (digitaled?) a couple of hoopoes for about 60 seconds</p>

<p>I Filmed a Sparrow Hawk eating a Pidgeon for 7 minutes 15 seconds but got bored and stopped, so I don't know how much longer I could have gone for. Sandisk 8 Gb UDMA card.</p>

<p>If you will be shooting in 1080p then max clip length is about 12 minutes/4GB. That applies to both 7D and 5DII. Also, note that 7D tends to get really warm after prolong video shooting. Even after 1 continuous clip of 12 minutes you will feel that it is much warmer. If you are planning to shoot unattended I suggest you reconsider. Overheating is never good and if you are not there to check on the camera it can do some damage.</p>

Hope you find this interesting Yakim.</p>

<p>Ilya, the 7D manual states max 4GB or 29 minutes and 59 seconds for a large card (I have 32GB one). About temperature, I'll not be the one shooting but I'll be around. </p>

<p>JC, this is a very informative video. Thanks for posting it. </p>

<p >Happy shooting,</p>

<p>29m59m for SD shooting. HD takes a lot more and limit is at 12 minutes/4GB per clip. Does not matter if you have 32GB card, you will have to click the button every 12 minutes.<br>

Nice link JC, thanks</p>

<p>Thanks for the clarification.</p>

<p>Happy shooting,<br>

<p>I am not a fan of video, my longest filming was only of about 2 mins, it was great though.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Thanks Simon. :-) Indeed my knees are a little trembling as this will be my first serious foray into this.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Happy shooting,</p>

<p>I've run right into the 12 minute limit several times shooting 1080 30p. I've shot 2.5 hours continuously, starting and stopping every 11 minutes or so. There was a CF card change out in there as well. Use a fast CF card and the camera won't heat as much.</p>

[yakim_peled1]

<p>

<p dir="ltr">Soon after I bought the 7D I bought the fastest CF available: 90 MB/s. I didn't think I'd need that at the time but I follow the motto that I don't want my gear to limit me in any way. I have enough limitations of my own....... :-)</p>

<p dir="ltr">Happy shooting,</p>
