1-ND filter is a must. Maybe be a combo polarizer/ND (from PolarPro)
2-shoot more and shorter clips. Not an absolute rule some clips can be longer depending on the "wow" factor and the action. But usually shorter is better. I visualize my shots beforehand to be about ten seconds in length. I planned the shot by practicing to the extend possible then position the drone at the beginning of it, hit the record button, fly the shot and stop recording leaving about 3 to 5 seconds on either side of the shot. Rinse and repeat until you have the shot you visualized. By doing this you will develop a discipline to look for shots and conserve precious battery time. It will improve the quality of your footage.
Lastly, shot in early in the morning and late afternoon. (of course in the mountains shadows can be a big problem.
Sky lens I really appreciate you taking time to explain me all this. I'have just purchased the lenses (solarpro), so i'll share more on that soon (currently in back order).
I have to say while I understand the planning of the shot in advance, for me it's difficult for 2 mains reasons:
1- I'm too young at this and hence impatient to fly
2- I still learn to understand a bunch because usually my favorite shots/video so far were always by chance and the one I planned well just did not look as exciting from above as I once thought.
That said with more practice will come more patience...and thanks for the feedback (10sec shot is very short indeed) it's much appreciated. |
