MA2 night settings and fireworks

omer212 · Jul 2, 2020

Hi guys,

About to fly first time at night. I looked around, watched some videos but couldn’t find what would be the optimal night settings for:

1. Highest quality video.

2. Advice on filming fireworks.

Thank you in advance and Happy 4th of July ?

4K 60fps Auto will work just fine. Stay out of the line of fire! Stay upwind of the smoke. Adjust your location as needed. If you shoot from above the fireworks, the aerial perspective will be unique, and light up the ground below. Good luck!

Anyone have good camera settings for fireworks?

I have about a half dozen shows to shoot in the next six weeks and I'm looking for the best settings. I took mine out tonight after dark and shot some video at 800 ISO and 60 shutter speed that look pretty good but filming stationary lights on the ground at night isn't quite the same as filming...

I shot this tonight as a test run when i knew some streets over were doing some fireworks. Granted these are way too far away i think when they get closer 4k 60 fps auto mode will do a decent job too though.

You did great! Do you remember your settings? I am going to be trying to film/photograph some fireworks this Friday evening.
