Very nice Video ! Very Details and Sharp ! Those Towers on the Cliffs are Wonderful. Welldone.

Though I notice a lot of Stuttering Video from 1min05, when Panning ? Why is this happening ?

Hi DMX, yes you're right, from min. 1.05 it's a bit stuttering. I use I-Movie to assemble the footage and what you see is in normal original speed. I tried slow-Auto and it is a little less stuttering. I may try and amend just the last bit and replace the whole footage in the next few days.
But it's not the Spark's fault, or the software's: it's me.
When I yaw I have to do it very slowly and gently, even better in Tripod mode.

Nice video. Makes me nostalgic....I spent quite a bit of time around that mine and the others nearby while I was doing my mining degree a long, long time ago now!

Thanks for the Update Buddy !

I was worried that it was Spark's Fault or the Micro SD, Thanks for Clarifying this.

It was on Auto. I generally use ND filters and manual with sunshine but it was right before dusk so I used no filters.

Myself and my wife were down near Penzance last week, but i was gutted it was too windy to fly. We found one of the air/exhaust/engine houses like the ones at the start of your video at a place called Rinsey. After seeing your great video, I might have to head there another time.

Hi DPJ, thank you for your post and for mentioning Rinsey, which I didn't know of. I will cerainly visit it.
Yes, definitely Cornwall offers plenty of opportunities to take videos of many amazing places, including mines. Alongside Botallack, also visit Wheal Coates, near St. Agnes.
If you like Cornish mines/engine houses along the coast then you may also like this taken with my P3Pro

Have safe flights!

Rinsey is just along from Penzance. If you head for Praa Sands but keep going, it's not far up from there. Hope this helps a little
