Very nice! I did notice in the shot of the waves with the surfers, the horizon was not level. I'm not sure if that can be corrected while editing but I think it might have been the result of the Mavic Mini 2 not having gimbal rotation to correct that. Otherwise, great footage!
Very nice, I was able to visit there 2 years ago. I only managed a 360 from the lookout at the top of the cliff. However I'm visiting there again in less than a month. Will have to make the trip down to the valley floor this time.
We did a horse back ride years ago through the valley and it was an amazing ride. Thanks for sharing for my memories.
To be honest I never noticed the horizon was off during editing but it is. The Gimbal seems to work fine in my hand. I was using full roll to the left for that scene and parhaps it exceeded the amount of gimbal correction. Thanks
Thanks. The hike down is not to bad since it is all paved but locals do offer rides in 4 wheel drive trucks for $25 down and back up. We arrived very early around 6 am and were first in the parking area but it was full when we returned, so parking can be a problem. Also if you bring a drone the earlier the better as winds tend to pick up after the morning and can be strong by afternoon.
Yeah, we had a great time and I am ready to go back! Super deals on airfare right now ($130 round trip to Maui). The businesses are really hurting but the restrictions are keeping tourists away, thanks
Yeah, if you google Waipio that picture comes up often and is taken fromn the Lookout. There are several good locations for pics of the Valley on the way down qnd that is where I took mine from, thanks
I do not have the Air 2 so hopefully someone else can chime in. The Mini 2 is great for backpacking but since your not hiking much that probably does not matter. That said, the Air 2 has a faster speed which will definetely come in handy for Hawaii where you can expect high winds on most parts of the Island, at least later in the day. There were several times that I was unable to fly the Mini 2 due to winds, and several other times when I took a cance and flew anyway but probably should not have. Cant beat the Mini 2 for portability though and is usually meets my needs. My 2 cents.....
Appreciate that feedback, good to know about the winds! I’m still debating which one to take but either way I’m sure I’ll get some good shots. Thanks again!
Yeah, I tried to get closer and more to the center but I started lo get a weak signal from the hill below. It is possible to hike up closer to the falls but its a long hike, thanks
