I don't know if a privately listed video of mine (on YouTube) can be shown here...
I'll try it once and would like to say a big thank you to DJI!

PS:
I did all the route planning on the DJI RC Pro. It took a little getting used to, but now it works great...

Excellent video Franky, just amazing. I love how you transitioned between day and night and the music was just amazing.

Thank you Suren for your comment.  
I am happy if you like it.  
The video isn't perfect, but you can take nice shots with the waypoints...

How did you do this?

... I used the new waypoint feature, so I flew the "same loop" twice, first in daylight and then again after sunset.  
I then cut with Davinci Resolve...

The matching of shots is stunning. You or the software or a combination of both?

First of all, a good waypoint function...
Then of course "good weather", because strong wind would certainly mean too great a difference in the image material...
Of course you have to "manually" choose suitable points for the transition from one video to another...
But  Davinci Resolve is a very good (and cheap) video editing program...

... I had already experimented with the Hyperlapse Waypoints and also combined day and night...
The flexibility of the new waypoint function is of course much greater...

Great video Franky. Nice transitions between day and night, it looks seamless , I thought you did your way points every couple of hours throughout 24 hour period, but you mentioned you did day and night and combined in Resolve, the transition looks very smooth. Also night hyperlapse is a joy to see

Take care, Mike.

The day/night comparison gave me a lot of joy...

The C1 certification now gives me much more safety/confidence when flying...
It's finally not (anymore) illegal to fly in the city too...

Waypoints, Cruise Control, ... are other very nice innovations that are a real asset when filming, really...

Thats really good.   Im curious,  did the new label have the drone serial number on it too or was it just generic?

This is a "very general" sticker, without a serial number or similar.

May be...     

But, you still get an (official) "C1 certification document", which you should "always" carry with you. The serial number etc. is noted there...

The video is very nicely done! Looks pretty seamless. Curious as to what aperture the daylight videos were taken with. There appears to be a speck of sensor dust visible on the daylight shots indicating a smaller aperture. Great job!!

Thanks for your comments!

... I also had the ND16 filter attached, during the day.
I think I was filming in auto mode...

I also noticed the "sensor dust". I cleaned everything after the flight, but couldn't find anything on the outside...
Maybe actually directly on the sensor...
Is there anything you can do about it, based on your experience...?

I've seen a couple of posts about the problem, and the affected drones had to be sent in for replacement. If the aperture is opened up, the spots are often not visible at all. But when aperture is stopped down, it becomes apparent. Again... nice video!

Do a search for youtube guides for drone day to night shots. They will show you how to match up shots using waypoints using video or hyperlapse.

Oh, thank you so much for your tip!


I'll "examine" it more closely now, take photos with different aperture openings...
... and then "talk" to DJI about it...

Many thanks again!!!
