A train, on a viaduct

[Rain stops play]

My first try at using Course Lock. Setup involved looking at timetable to see when a train was due, stroppy looks from the wife, being called 'nerd' by the kids, ignoring all of them a grinning while I flew.

Quick edit (cut), application of a random LUT, no fade in/out or music and voila. I see a fair bit of use of Course/Home lock in my future

PS 2.7K, 30FPS, Cloudy Balance, 0-0-0, ND8 Polarpro filter.

Nicely done. Good pre-planning and a bit of luck (the train was actually on-time after all).

Well done. Course lock is something on my "to do" learning list. Did POI last week - that's really useful too.

The wife/kids irritation is just part of the joys, isn't it?

Very nice - I've also been meaning to make more use of course lock, maybe this will inspire me to find a way to use it next time I fly the mavic

Great video - enjoyed watching it more than a few times. [emoji102]
Appreciate seeing another part of the world (don't know location)
Inspired to use that flight mode.

Sorry, completely forgot to mention the location! It's a place called Whalley in East Lancashire, Northern England.

I did do a longer video of the viaduct in question but wished I'd caught a train on there so that was the reason behind today's trip, just for that one extra shot. You can find the other full video here at

I got a bit of a clue when I saw the Aspinall Arms Pub - the menu looks tempting (good old google)
Thanks for the extra bits - much appreciated.
Makes me realise I an yet to gather some "representative local content" which I will do - from Hamilton about 300km west of Melbourne Australia.

You seem a bit of a natural at this.
Next I have to tackle some video editing and maybe some uploads.

Well you have an excellent mountainous skyline in that picture. Go explore!

I'm enjoying video editing only slightly less than flying and it's easy to record everything and cut only bits that you like to make a more interesting whole. Learning the software takes a while though.

Enjoy and good luck [emoji106]

I did my first "Course Lock" flight - need some practice but thanks for the lead.
May be wandering off the topic, but I love the way this forum gives a great visual appreciation of parts of the world you may not otherwise discover.
Attached is my Mavic pic of the coast place we go to - a contrast to your landscape.

Nice use of course lock. Watch out for trees though!

I know months have gone past and there has been lots of good stuff on this site, BUT this is still one of my favourite and memorable clips - thanks again RainStopsPlay [emoji818]️[emoji846]

Never imagined that testing out course lock mode would create something leaving a lasting impression! [emoji106]

Great job! The movement is so nice and smooth. Definately have to look into course look myself! Job well done.

I think it just captures the moment! [emoji736][emoji122][emoji457][emoji108]

(Trying to choose words about framing of subject, speed, transition, background, interest etc would become an awkward lost exercise, so best to say ... I just like it.)
