I flew the entire Solar Eclipse!

JoeCec · Aug 23, 2017

This is not a cinematic feature film by any stretch of the imagination.
I managed 3 birds for 3 hours of consistant flight time and over 200gigs of 4k footage. This was more of a personal test to see if I could manage the process of time and flight restraints. All footage is inline, compilled and speed up so it isn't the full 3 hours.

This video was created to show the reduction in light the eclipse created. I used the f-stop value from a fixed shutter and ISO settings to gauge the light. It was eerie.

Documents from 1200pm CST to 1500pm CST.

that's a solar eclipse?

Yes, it's a view from the air and shows the F-stop value of light reduction as the eclipse passes through. It was eerie, but cool.

By far the most unwatchable drone video I have ever seen.
I'd rather stare directly into the sun during the eclipse, than watch that again

Thanks, but it's not supposed to be cinematic by any means.
