Pictures and video shot with DJI Spark

Beautiful pictures!
I believe the video was sped up in post right?
Some parts were a bit less steady because of that.
Nice location to shoot!

Yes I had to speed it up quite a bit. I had no idea how big it was until I saw it in person. Also it was windy. First time that I wish I had the Mavic instead of the Spark.

I can imagine.
I guess you wanted to shorten your video.
Personally I would have 'just' cut out some parts and make it the same length.
I think you have very nice smooth footage in normal speed, but now it looks far less smooth.
Also with the cars and people in the frame, they look like in a hurry ;)

Good points. Its hard to NOT use footage but sometimes I should.

I know. My first edits were about 1 hour ;)

Cool. Looks like you're able to get good distances with your Spark?

I believe I was getting 1500-2000 feet distance.

Great job, friend. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing, great editing and post production work there

While I know this one was flown during the game I would imagine the same rules apply. This is great footage but this seems to me like the stuff that gets drones banned. Not to mention Austin Straubel Intl Airport is like 4 miles away. I actually tailgate in the lot just to your back at the start of the video. I see Jets landing constantly on game day. My advice is if you did not get busted you may want to take this video down.  Just my two cents.

Great capture of Video and Pictures

Very nice pictures but to be honest, speeding up videos is not the best way to "shorten" them. It's cutting, cutting and then cutting again, as hard and painful it is. One hour raw video in most cases can be condensed to 3 - 5 minutes final product that is nice to watch.

Maybe I'll find a shorter song and make a new edit of this. Thanks for the input.

The first sentence in that article says it all. "During a game"
It is legal if there is not an event happening and the airport is notified. Green Bay ATC requires a message left with details of your flight.

Great Pics

Good to know I did research no fly zones as I had heard there was a no fly zone over Lambeau Field but I could not find any map that shows that restriction. This is all good information, how do you notify ATC out of curosity?

Googled their phone number. I believe drone flights was option #4.

Just did a re-edit and fixed a lot of the shakiness, did some horizon correction, slowed all the footage down, and tried to cut out all of my camera movement. Here's the new cut.

Nice video! Go Packers!!!

Nice vid! And thanks for answering the NFZ questions, I have always wondered about that.

Nice flying, check out the wind blowing and the spark is so steady.

Yeah, it was quite windy. I was on the verge of calling off the flight, but I'm glad I flew it. The video was a little jerky but I didn't have any flight problems.

PS Lucas775- I flew over 200,000 feet this last weekend. I'm trying to catch up to your impressive flight distance.

Nice stuff. My Spark crashed on its own doing something like that.

Ah, so much better now, thank you for this nice video!

Thanks for the tips. You guys are good at giving honest criticism. How else am I going to get better?

Thank you, I appreciate the information. I also saw it in the Kitty Hawk app and it gives you the option to call the tower. It also says the tower accepts digital notifications. I am still not sure how to do that.  Very nice work Bing Err.

I've seen the "Digital Notification" thing too before. I'll look into it and add it to my next video. Thanks for the suggestion.

Cool, Thanks for sharing!
