Scouted out a good place to park near the Bay Bridge onramp and shot this one afternoon at sunset using two batteries. It was my mission to make it to the main tower of the bridge which connects Oakland and San Fransico. Made it just in time to capture this scene with the city in the bg. My profession is computer science research and teaching but as a kid I was always enamored by film directors and production. This is my first time editing but looking forward to learning more form those with experience.

I enabled 30degree up pitch for the gimbal and increased the smoothness by about 15% and maybe slowed the pitch. Unfortunately, the .400 firmware reset my settings, so I can't give you the exact numbers (I haven't re-tweaked them). The gradual up pitch effect is mainly accomplished with a light touch on the shoulder dial. Video was 2.7k @ 24 fps, Normal color profile (+0 0 0) with no grading, at least for this time around.

First, nice video but If I were you I will take it off air. You broke so many laws endangering so many people by flying over cars on a busy bridge, one fall and you could have cause multiple fatalities and spent the rest of your life in Jail!

SAFETY FIRST, FUN SECOND!

Enjoyed the video very much.  I would love to be able to get such a video, but feel I'm a long way from the flying skills, camera knowledge and self confidence to obtain this kind of footage.  I'll continue to work towards what you have been able to accomplish.

Thanks for sharing.......

Very nice video, editing and camera movement. I trust you know what you do, but if I were in your shoes I'd not post such a video on the internet. It might get you in trouble.
