    Elan Valley in mid Wales UK - drones not allowed

    I don't know but I see your point Yorkshire_Pud. However the Estate covers a vast area, mostly deserted; the dams and lakes are only a small part of it.

    Elan Valley in mid Wales UK - drones not allowed

    That's interesting - though I wouldn't be confident to take off outside the estate and flying over the dams! it's a huge area. Also, the RAF timetable is useless - they seem to fly outside the 'timetabled' schedule quite often.

    Thanks very much indeed - especially re: music. I make the music after the edit and find it is often the most challenging thing to get right.

    Mini 3 Majestic, Picturesque Hafod

The Estate is now managed by the National Trust who sadly do not allow drone flying, so this video is a bit of an experiment in using the Mini 3 Pro as a...

    Mini 3 The Haunting Ruins of Cwmystwyth Mines

    Thanks very much. I shoot at 25p (PAL for Europe). I use a variable ND filter, but no slow mo. I will say that I do MULTIPLE passes and clog up my hard drive with unused footage! I guess about 5% of what I record is suitably smooth for the final cut but mostly due to wind and obstacle avoidance...

    I think you're right about 'interest' - it's not going to be for everyone, but I'm glad it is resonating with some people. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment.
