So, I thought I’d share some footage I recorded along with a friend (spotter) early one morning last summer of a really interesting building which was being put on the market (not sure if it sold in the end), but an agent used the video as a promotion to sell the property. The very, very low but high speed scene was the Mavic flat out in sport mode and we estimated during edit that it was probably only 50mm above some parts of the exposed causeway - just to add that we recorded very early when the causeway was entirely clear albeit you will see people standing on the gun placement area later in the video.
I hope you enjoy it as much as myself and a friend did recording and editing it.
The video on YouTube is quite jerky, though. With mini2 footage at 29.97fps, I find that if I render from the video editor at 59.94fps, I get very smooth results on both YouTube and my TV, with only a very small increase in file size.
I’ve walked out to that battery it’s not a dry feet pathway. I’ve also flown out and around it too, tidewater comes in really quickly too. Impressive building
Thanks, that’s an intersting observation - for my own benefit, are you suggesting that the horizon is slightly sloping in the photo frames you posted? I’ll certainly look at calibrating again, thanks!
In the case of my mini2, it will do 30fps max. in 4K, but for some reason that frame rate leads to jerkiness on both TV and YouTube. Rendering at twice that rate has been found to solve the jerkiness in both cases.
Wow, impressive OV I completely missed that - my eyesight must really be going Many thanks for the red line illustration - really helpful, I will definintely calibrate now - cheers!
Great, thanks Chris - I’m completely at ease flying drones, but the editing and more technical settings / frame rates / ISO settings / etc are my weakness. I feel like I’ve been given some good pointers on this first post, so thank you (& others).
It is possible to walk out to its base at low tide, but be wary of the tide times!. If you stay within the walkway that leads upto the base, there used to be a ladder that you can access the building. But again watch the tides it surrounds the base very quickly and the current is strong. Distance to the base is .25 of a mile.
Many thanks for the red line illustration - really helpful, I will definintely calibrate now - cheers!
