Northern Light

My latest video shot with the Mavic 2 Pro. Very impressed with the stability of the craft and the utility of the various flight modes offered on this bird. All aerial video shot in DLOG-M HQ mode in 10-bit h.265 (grades very well in Resolve):

Thanks for a beautiful video illustrating how bad my recordings are!! How far away would you guess you were from the eagles? They didn't seem bothered by the drones presence?

Thanks

Glad you enjoyed the video. I was surprised as well by how much the Baldies tolerated the craft. I got within about 40-50 feet of the birds without apparent issues. This is the quietest and least intrusive UAV I've owned.

Nice. Where?

Looks just like the terrain in southern Ontario

Yup. The border country of northern Minnesota and southwestern Ontario is pretty indistinguishable. Glacial lakes and taiga forest from horizon to horizon. May it always be preserved.

Just beautiful. Nice work. BTW what settings were you. Using for time lapse sequences. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Want to copy you.

I used a Canon 5D4 mounted on a Dynamic Perception Stage One 3 axis rig (https://www.dynamicperception.com) controlled by a free app called DslrDashboard (qDslrDashboard | Controlling Nikon, Canon and Sony camera). The resulting RAW images are then processed in LRTimelapse (LRTimelapse - Advanced Time Lapse Photography made easy!). It's a tedious process, but the results can be stunning.

@Quadpilot looks like auto correct changed .com to .comand on the dynamicPerception link I think.

Corrected. Thanks for catching that.

Not a problem, saw the prob after it didn't like the link. Nice equipment.
