Nothing too special, just several minutes spent chasing a kite at the beach, mostly via Active Track.

4K/30, True Color, no grading, no filters

That's a neat trick to use active track on the kite, makes the pans very smooth.
Just as an aside, they have manicured front yards and terrible back yards.

The "back yards" in this case are protected dunes and you're not allowed to even walk on them, much less groom them.

What beach are you at? That looks like a Gulf beach.

That's Emerald Isle, NC, one of the outer banks islands.

Yes, Active Track worked surprisingly well. A couple times I got a little too close to the streamers which made my heart race a bit. ;)

It's easy to tell when Active Track is locked and active because the frame rotates as the kite is tracked.

You live in beautiful country. Texas, at least where I am, is a little drab. I loved your Sunflower video as well.

Thanks, the sunflowers are close to home but the beach we were just visiting. And except for a couple days near the end of the week, it was rainy and also very drab. ;)

I'm watching and saying.."STAY AWAY FROM THOSE STREAMERS" LOL.. Great video

Nice job !

Cool bit of footage, always good to see something a little different.

Thanks, it was a spur of the moment thing. Nice to see how well Active Track works.
