Hey Guys,

I took the Mini 2 out for some night flights to test the low-light capabilities.

All the footage is 4K at 24fps, 3500K white balance. Most of the clips were shot at 1/25th shutter and ISO 3200. I think four of the clips were shot at 1/50th shutter, ISO 3200. The clips shot with the faster shutter speed had a little boost to exposure in post. All clips had a slight boost in staturation otherwise no other adjustments in post.

I have to say I came away quite impressed, it was much better than I expected. What do you guys think?

Pretty impressive performance. Been wanting to fly at dusk/at night for a while now. Still have to find the right spot and the courage!

Looks really good,   Im pleased I just bought a mini 2,  now need the weather to improve to be able to fly.

Very impressive night footage.    I have to say your shutter speed and ISO settings worked out well for you.  Mini 2 is a quite capable drone.

Courage indeed! It was my first time flying at night. The shots over the river made me a bit nervous, even though there were no overhead obstacles, hovering above a black abyss is a bit unsettling.

Thanks! Yeah, that's it though - max ISO and slowest possible shutter speed for 24 fps footage -  you simply cannot bring in any more light with this drone. Still though, quite capable as you say. Cheers!

I hope to be able to enjoy when the weather here improves.

Really awesome, especially how the video was timed to the sound track.

Looks very good!

Did you use any filter?(ND)

I think it came out really well!  Lots of creative shots and storytelling elements.  Keep it up!
