First go at hyperlapse video this morning as I thought it may be a nice sunrise. We are fortunate to live close to Hardwick Hall which is just to the east of us so I lifted straight up from our garden to 100m and started the hyperlapse going. The first lesson is to pay more attention to the local sunrise time before setting off, it was ~0730 here this morning and I ran out of first battery just before that!
Lifted with the second battery and began recording again but decided to change to the 3x lens on my Air 3, although as can be seen it would have been better to stick with 1x but there you go. I’ll have another shot on a clearer day - as the sunrise point moves to the south I’ll hopefully be able to get a nice hyperlapse with it coming up over the main hall.
@Shane22 , I believe it was set to the default of 1 shot every 2 seconds, and then the number of shots taken was set to the maximum which is 750 if I remember correctly - I was rushing having just woken up .
Obviously I’m a super noob when it comes to this type of thing but at least there’s plenty of interesting options to play with to optimise things going forward.
OK, I had another go at Hardwick Hall sunrise this morning with slightly improved results but I think there’s still much better to be had, I keep seeing people mentioning ‘ND’ filters so maybe that would help - another thing to learn about, but learning new things is something I enjoy well (photography and video processing is something completely new to me):
Anyway, the weather was fine this afternoon, so I went for a closer look - no problems with the NT police for me!!!
Yeah sorry my bad, I meant day to night to day to night and so on till your head bleeds or you run out out of the 18 or so seconds you have of footage that drone battery has allowed you to muster up of time lapse.
Your right though to a certain extent, but a lot of stuff reversed doesn’t look natural ie cars reversing at 40mph, birds flying backwards and people doing the moon walk at frightening speeds:rofl:
Are you getting 30 seconds timelapse per battery?
The max I’m getting is 25 seconds with the mini 3 pro or 20 seconds with the Air 2S (factoring in the flight to the starting point and return.
Did you use any stabilisation in editing? I’m guessing no, as I don’t need to with the Air2S but do need it with the Mini 3 Pro.
Very interesting that you ask. Actually to give the best chance of success I put both my Air 3 and M3P up together this morning.
The procedure was as follows:
Launch the Air 3 and fly it 1.2 km east of my garden 100m altitude, then set 30 sec timelapse going (which it completes), then fly back and land - this was a bit squeaky bum as it landed with 8% batt remaining.
5 mins after setting up the Air 3, launch the M3P straight upwards 120m directly above my garden and set the timelapse going, set to 3 second intervals and the max shots allowed. The M3P ran out of battery and had to land way before the Air 3 had finished capturing - it didn’t complete its run.
Thanks for that, I’m liking the longer battery life on the Air 3, I usually send the drone straight up from my take off point to 100m for mine, to maximize battery time for the timelapse itself as I’m usually capturing clouds mainly.
Hmm
