4k Hyperlapse Vol 1

Joe Foreman · May 31, 2020

A compilation of my first several Hyperlapse, in 4k with the Mavic Air 2. My favourite one is the last one

Loving the resulting image from the 12mp dng's. A couple came out a bit shaky even with post stabilisation, but overall enjoying this feature greatly. From those not yet aware, you can make 4k Hyperlapse from the "1080p" setting by saving the individual images and compiling them in post. This gives you the flexibility of the 1080p settings + the image quality of 4k. Enjoy!

Awesome!! I am waiting for my MA2 to arrive this week!

At 0:22 I notice a nice "dolly zoom"-like effect. Did you do it? Or it is forward movement plus tilting down the gimbal?

Nicely done! You should try using some ND filters to get a bit of a long exposure (1/3, 1/4 at least), it helps a lot especially with scenes like the one at 0:30, having those cars blurred would make the scene much better

how much flow type stabilization did you end up needing to apply in post?
I've noticed that the camera angle is much better than my original MP running a Lychee hyper-lapse, but the altitude control is still terrible for anything with foreground objects.

Thanks for the tip! Definately Will try that out. Been wondering when I would use that 256 in the flymore set, and you have answered that question

Ya that was the natural forward movement of the drone plus a zoom and position in post. Kinda cool, wish I had run the shot longer, I reckon it was about to get epic!

Next time (it's above my house lol)

I use Mercalli v4 + warp stabiliser. I'm still learning the best combo. Some shots barely need any if the day is still.
