Nice - I've been experimenting with that mode a bit. I just wish it didn't take a whole battery to get it done.

How high were you?

So that was 383 feet I think (my usual number).

2 second Hyperlapse. 6 minutes of pictures I think. Slowed down to 50%.

Why you need a whole battery?
I shot two on one battery earlier today.

Thank you!

Very cool, I quite like hyperlapses of clouds.

I suppose I haven't played enough to know what's optimum. I've had it set to video - not pictures and I don't know the difference yet.

I like it!

Pro tip: Use Vimeo instead of YouTube. They don’t compress your video into oblivion like YouTube does. You don’t get unlimited uploads like YouTube for free but you get plenty if you know how to do it right which leads me to pro tip#2

Pro tip #2: Export your video from resolve as h.265 and choose the “Main10” profile. In the advanced export settings be sure to check the box that says “force debayer to highest quality.”

Timelapse videos show a lot of action in a short time, and they are made of stills, so if you happen to catch something like a lightning strike *hint hint*... You have more breathing room in post processing. ?

What post processing software do you use?

There is a setting that allows the capture to be video - I think. It does not make the annoying "snapshot" sound when I've done it like that.

Playing with Davinci. I've not made anything worthy of public posting yet.

That's the kind of cloud action I was hoping to find!

Now that's wicked looking!

Your Captures with the Wet Suit have been amazing. I want longer hypers .but that vimeo was a good tip ,

Your not allowed to play with clouds like this until you get a wet suit , I have seen the type of rain you get your way in your last video.

There are 3 different settings that allow you to make a video automatically after flight, but it is not user intuitive.

If you have Davinci you dont really need to auto export to video. Davinci will do that for you.

but, if you wanted to, once you are done with the hyperlapse, go to your album and click on the video icon, then it will download, then you can edit in DJI fly.

but, it records it as single frames that can be brought in to Resolve and easily color graded, and exported.

if you need help with this process let me know!
