Wow, lovely videos. As a new drone owner I'm curious about your method of capturing them. Where are you situated to capture these? I assume you're very close to them so you can judge distances and clearances as easily as possible. For your ones in amidst the greenery, did you record in 1080p/120FPS for slow motion? Did you greatly reduce the input gains? Just really curious, I love your work.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed them. I'm always situated as close as possible without ruining the shot. Some are recorded at 2.7k 24fps but I've now settled on 4k 24fps which through my testings is the best setting for most situations with the Mavic Pro. 1080p 120fps is pretty much unusable unfortunately. Most of it is shot with tripod mode and lots of concentration. I visualise everything first before flying, walk the route and predict (the best I can) any adverse reactions with flying close to stuff. So basically, for every obstacle I always have a plan of action already visualised. Have raced mountain bikes for years and it's pretty standard practise to do this to reduce risk and carry speed. I've had my drone just over a month now, once I've got more experience I'll do a proper post with everything I've learnt. |
