Fredo · Jan 27, 2018

Hi all, let me introduce you my first movie entirely shot in 4K and uploaded on Youtube in 4K.

Lovely!

Awesome. Venue, skiing, piloting, filming, editing, dubbing - awesome. What are your specs?? What drone/camera/filters, what editing/dubbing software? Time at the yoke? Fantastic clip - sorry to ask so many questions. Hell, what skis were you using & what you have for breakfast? Again, awesome.

Really great, just a question I once tried to film in a ski resort on a very nice day but because of the sun reflection and my sun glasses and even without sun glasses I found it very difficult to see anything on my screen. Are you using Crystalsky or Moverio or goggles ?

Chech my 2017 ski holidays in Courchevel.

I think if you go to the Rossignol 82's your footage would be better....

What was the temperature? How long did your batteries last?

Temperature was from - 10°C to 0°C
Nothing special about batteries fly time. Still around 20min depend of wind and what you do with your bird.

Fredo, were your shots/passes all planned in advance? Or you simply drained batteries and selected your favorite footage later? How many different "home locations" did you launch from for that 2 hours of raw footage? Finally, was that you and a companion on that ridge?

Awesome piece of flying/video! Thanks for posting it. Inspiring for piles of newbies like myself.

I spent a week there, I always ski with my Mavic in my backpack. During the first days it was snowing, so i didn't launched the drone. But i recognized some good spot to fly on. But no, everything was not planned in advance. Most of times i just fly and see when in the air what can be good to get for my movie. And for the first time i chose my music BEFORE going skiing (best idea i never had) So yes, i knowed a bit what i needed to match with this song.
If i remember well, i launched from only 5 differents "home locations".
And nope, that was not me and a friend, just two guys on a top of the hill in same time than my drone.

Here is my last ski video, one year ago. Did i Progressed?

I love BEFORE and AFTER! Your recent one is a bit smoother, perhaps your panning shots a bit slower.

More questions about the recent video:
Max altitude AGL?
And what was that above sea level?
Notice any handling issues in the thinner atmosphere at altitude?
Max horizontal distance from your controller?
