    Air 2s Colorado's 13,000' hidden Gems, Three Needles and Bridal Peak!

    I know what you mean. I do all my editing on a stout desktop with a decent graphics card and the 4k clips still really bog my machine down, which is really aggravating. It seems that Davinci generates proxies of the original hi-res clips in a similar manner as Premier does. Both commonly...

    Air 2s Colorado's 13,000' hidden Gems, Three Needles and Bridal Peak!

    You're a busy guy to say the least! Our small farm certainly keeps me busy, especially in the summer. Have you tried editing using proxy files? Not sure which NLE you use but I think most of the popular packages allow for proxies. I use Adobe Premier and edit my 4k clips using proxies. I...

    Air 2s Colorado's 13,000' hidden Gems, Three Needles and Bridal Peak!

    Another cool video and adventure! I'm having some YouTube playback issues right now (probably my broadband provider) so will have to watch it again in higher resolution. Just an editorial note: You have a typo in the title and are miss pronouncing the word "Porphyry", which is pronounced...

    Air 2s Extreme Adventure Climb across Beautiful Crumbling 13'K Red Mountains

    Holy crap Karl! What a close call, I'm sure glad you made it out ok. I really enjoyed your video. As always, you do a magnificent job of telling a story. Those drone orbit shots with you as a puny human figure on a knife edge ridge was spectacular! As an old geologist, I live vicariously...

    Air 2s Video of 81-year old Navy pilot flying my Avata with Motion Controller 2 & Integra Goggles

    Very moving! We should all try to capture more content like this before these guys and gals are gone. Well done Dangerly!

    Air 2s Working The Fields

    As an old farm boy I enjoyed your video but at times it was a bit tedious...almost like farming itself! I got a good chuckle out of the date that was displayed in the lower right....12/31/1969....I remember that date well!

    3 How Long Should I make my Summer Vacation Film?

    Dale, as a native Montanan (now living in Idaho) I have certainly enjoyed your recent vacation photos. With regards in how to handle the video content, as I recall you use Adobe Premiere which relies heavily on the idea of "sequences", each a separate timeline with "similar" video content. How...

    Mini 2 Drone video.....without the drone!

    Well done Paleomanjim, I really enjoyed your video. So for some of the clips that featured "dolly" and "boom-like" movements did you have the gimbal camera on a long selfie stick and then sort of "shuffle along" through the trees raising up the camera for nice reveals of the lake? I can't seem...

    Mini 3 Some Sawmills in Ladysmith BC

    Great job blackomega! I certainly enjoyed the different perspectives of the operation and the hyperlapse was the money shot! Those little tugs were amazing at "cutting out" a bunch of floating logs into a little packet of logs that were then skillfully motored over to the crane. I thought the...

    Mini 3 Mega scramble on the Kasperov Traverse while summiting three 13,000 Peaks Colorado

    Great job as usual Karl! I really enjoy your epic adventures and live vicariously through them, primarily to see lots of neat geology in the mountains that you climb. The various rock types (granite, rhyolite, limestone, quartzite, etc.) provide different climbing challenges and then when you...

    2 Pro MALTA - More To Explore - 4K

    I have to agree with everything that has been said thus far....I'm blown away by so many of your shots with respect to their composition, timing, exposure, interest in subject and so forth! Great work!

    Mini 2 French Ardennes - 4K

    Let me be the first to applaud you! Bravo! I really think you did a great job with this video! It seems I've heard that dramatic sound track many times before with other drone videos but I really believe that your clips worked with it! Well done sir!

    Air 2s The Beautiful Village of Coverack, Cornwall, at Low Tide

    Good stick and camera work! I still haven't gotten around to using POI methods with my M2P as I'm still trying to hone my stick and gimbal skills. Cheers!
