15 second sunset time lapse with Mavic Pro

[CashCache]

This was a last minute idea that turned out pretty cool. I have all kinds of ideas for this in the future now that I know what is possible. This was over 20 minutes worth of footage at 400 feet condensed down to 15 seconds.

Enjoy...

Beautiful! I was driving home in Prescott this evening with my Mavic in the car watching that beautiful sunset. I was too close to the airport to stop and fly.

Thanks! I'm in Anthem so you drove right by me. I wish I would have started a little earlier. I'm going to try and get one of these shots while the sun is still visible above the mountain. The trick will be the filter. I didn't need one during this shot, but if the sun is visible, I will.

That is a really cool idea, I'll have to try it out some day! Really shows how stable the Mavic is. It would be fun to do this over a city (safely of course) with all the cars and lights! Thanks for sharing! -CF

How crazy. I filed a 40 second time lapse of the sunset last night.

I'm thinking the same thing. If you look really closely, you can see the cars on the road zooming around. I'm going to try and find a good place to capture downtown Phoenix.

The hard part with the sunset is the exposure since light is changing so drastically. A time lapse of the city should be more constant I would think.
