Point Prim Lighthouse with the Mavic Mini

[Kbviper]

I was on my way back to the city while working and decided to take a drive down a side road to a area near a lighthouse that is fairly deserted in the winter. There had been a light snowfall the evening before. I put the Mavic Mini up, started recording, and headed towards the lighthouse. As I got closer, I was unsure if I would just miss, or hit the lighthouse, knowing a "swerve" would spoil the video. I continued on, and missed the lighthouse. I normally fly a Mavic Enterprise Dual or Zoom, or P4P, but am impressed by the photo/video quality of the MM at that price point.

Here is the unedited video:

Love a cool flyby!

Even a freezing cold flyby !!

Nice to see a lighthouse in such snow / ice conditions.
We don't get that here much

I take it you used an ND filter of some sort (ND or NDPL), what grade ?
It looks quite sunny and expect you used one, or did you leave it on all auto settings or whatever ?

No filter at all and settings on automatic. I was impressed with the exposure and color.

I will attach a few still photos taken the same day.

That's pretty neat then, it toned down that white out terrain very well.
The colours are impressive too (if not graded).
I find the Spark is great like that too, excellent out of drone footage and jpegs.

Great video and stills. I'm glad you did not swerve in the video. Very nicely done.
