Mini 3 Pro Hyperlapse

astroprojector · Jun 9, 2022

I have been testing the hyperlapse mode of MIni 3 Pro. Here is the sample

I used LRTimelapse (Holly Grail) and AP for warp stabilization and export. Because there is currently an issue with 12MP images having heavy vignetting issue when loaded in any editing application it took me quite a long time to get the images edited. It still a big hazy to my liking, but you be the judge.

Nice timelapse.
I was impressed by how the Mini 3 Pro managed to stabilize the video... until I read you used a software to fix that.
How long did it take to shoot all the photos, one can see the night coming and the lights turning on

And yeah that vignetting problem with the 12mp DNG photos is quite annoying, I hope it'll be fixed in the next firmware update.

This was 300 images 15 sec timelapse. It took 15min to shoot.

I am impressed! I've been using Gunther Wegner's LRTimelapse for many years. I have not, and will not need to, upgrade to LRTimelapse 6. I'm still on version 5.8 and that version does everything I need. There is a small typo- it is Holy Grail, not Holly Grail. I think you could have gotten a good Timelapse /hyperlapse with a slower interval of 2 or 3 seconds. I am now using my new M3 and because it has a 46 min battery I am shooting every 3 seconds for 25 minutes and 550 frames! That is great for sunrises and sunsets.

Going to struggle to get smooth motion timelapses without ND1000s though sadly.

Mini 3 Pro intervals start at 3 sec.

I believe the Mavic 3 starts at 2 mm. You really should not need 1000ND filter for motion blur at disk for a Holy Grail. Try playing with slower shutter speeds.

Its a f/1.7. Maybe not at dusk into sunset but for all daytime shots you're going to.

We're talking 1/4000th+ shutter speeds on cloudy days with it.

The orbit is too fast. Ruins the hyperlapse effect, feels more like sped up video.

My hyperlapse from yesterday.

I was flying at slowest speed 1.1mph

Decrease the time between frames.

3 seconds is the lowest you can and that is what I had set.

I use 2 sec with Mavic 3 and 3 sec with Mini 3 pro.. I like the 2 sec better qnd the mini 3 does jump around much more in wind.. I'll post video later to show..

This is video of Mavic 3 with Mini 3 in front 30 seconds, then 18 seconds from Mini 3 with Mavic 3 up front.. winds up to 15mph . Mini 3 holding wind pretty well for such a little bird.
Same sunset, just moved the Mini 3 forward into sight of Mavic 3..

I have tried the hyperlapse after the last firmware update and there isn’t an option for 2s. Have you guys tried?

diamond2189 · Aug 24, 2022

beautiful time lapse. Today I have tried it for the first time. Did a 5 seconds of hyperlapse. All i got is a video file. Is there a way to save all the photos as DNG files in mini 3 pro?

Yes - take off, enter hyperlapse mode then in settings select keep originals.
