One fine morning, I saw the clouds were unusually low and couldn't resist it.



I should have gone higher.
Using Junestar (JSR) ND+PL 8 filters at locked 1/100th with variable ISO100-800. This was metered using a sekonic light meter at f2.8 ISO 200 to allow an extra stop of light for contingency.  #brunei #drone #djiavata   Music score 1) Exciting travel by Serge Pavkin - https://pixabay.com/users/sergepavkinmusic-6130722/ and  My Love by Grand Project - https://pixabay.com/users/grand_project-19033897

I should have gone higher. I should have stayed longer above the clouds.
I find switching between normal and sports mode not very intuitive. I kinda wish we could customise the MC buttons so I can swap the start/stop/record button with mode. You will notice certain parts of the video there is a pause where i switch modes and the Avata sort of just hangs there.

You seemed to get a pretty decent range... Nicely done!

Lovely light because of the clouds.

Beautiful footage.

That was apparently about 700m only. The furthest so far is about 1.3km before i chickened out due to battery and below 20mbit HD. That was much lower though.

Yeah man Ive seen that. Apart from the sheer number of laws and risks, its also amazing. If that were the avata, it wouldve been blown all the way to the Arctic

Absolutely breathtaking capture! The decision to ascend above the clouds was a stroke of genius, revealing a celestial landscape rarely witnessed. Your meticulous camera settings and the Junestar ND+PL 8 filters beautifully preserved the ethereal scene. The controlled aperture at f2.8 and the variable ISO range allowed for impeccable exposure, showcasing the delicate dance of light and shadow. The music choices complement the visual feast, enhancing the viewer's immersive experience. Your artistic vision, combined with technical finesse, has gifted us a glimpse of the sublime. Truly, a masterpiece in every sense!

Wow! I am truly humbled by your compliment. Thank you!
