FYI and anyone else when I download it as a MPEG-4 it is still 640X360 Elemental H264 , 30 FPS , 26.9MB 1.40 Mbits/s With firefox and same with safari . Still impressive though. Now wondering about sound there was none . Was that an editing or filming choice as I wonder if the niose cancelling was excellent or you chose not to have sound. It was simpler to post without sound, and being primarily a stills photographer, I have yet to expand my video editing, and production skills to even bother with audio, even though I am aware that the addition of audio would enhance the viewer’s experience. As to the size, all I can say is I am sharing a full resolution link to a 3840x2160, 60 fps, 3.76 GB MP4, SmugMug file, intended for simple viewing in a browser, rather than a download. From that SmugMug URL you should have, via a right-click on the video presented in your browser been able to download a 1920x1080, AAC H.264, 60 fps, 151.3MB MP4. -- Regards, Savageduck |

This is a little further along in that flight following a sail boat as he sails among the moored yachts. https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2-Work/i-d66fs66/0/e2490ab1/1920/MB%20Sail-E_mp4-1920.mp4 The white boats have blown highlights. I wonder if a drone with a larger sensor (for instance 1") would not have this problem. -- Alfred Molon Olympus 4/3 and micro 4/3 cameras forum at https://groups.io/g/myolympus https://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

But I'm only interested out of curiosity. If I right-click on the video as it plays, I get the option to download, but no options as to size, quality, etc. But very nice video at the quality I see! -- croy |

When I first started I was aware of the risks of flying over water, and a bit wary as a result. Over time I have become much more confident with both the tech & capability of the drone, and my slowly improving flying skills. My scariest flight was #4 from my back deck when I got a bit overconfident, and lost the signal between the drone and my controller. The auto return to home kicked in, and I was saved from a crash into the signal blocking hill by the obstacle avoidance sensors in the drone. The video linked below demonstrates that scary, near miss incident. https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2-Work/i-Jv5psp9/0/4b99207a/1920/NearMiss-1920.mp4 I guess communications is pretty reliable with them now, plus they have built-in "homing beacons" and the like. My drone, a DJI Mavic Air 2 has a pretty good proprietary “Occusync 2.0” controller communications system rather than WiFi. The GPS is very good, so the “Home point” at take off is established with GPS, and a bottom scanner. For the linked flight I had 16 satellites locked. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I was merely referring the file size, & resolution of the downloaded file, you would/should not see those details as an option in any download dialog. But very nice video at the quality I see! Great! ...and thank you. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I wonder if a drone with a larger sensor (for instance 1") would not have this problem. I was a bit lazy, and shot in auto exposure, 4K/60 with an ND4 filter. Where I should have shot that 4K/60 with manual exposure, and probably an ND8, or ND16 filter. -- Regards, Savageduck |

That was shot with auto exposure when I should have shot with manual exposure with appropriate settings, and probably an ND8/16 rather than the ND4 I used. -- Regards, Savageduck |

This is Morro Bay, California, flying from Tidelands Park. https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2-Wor...920/DJI_0124_M P4-1920.mp4 Very nice. I wish I could go there over Xmas. Instead it looks like we'll be stuck here in the lockdown (Austria just closed their border, so to go to Italy you'd have to drive over Switzerland). I believe that France just closed its border for those wanting to visit alpine ski resorts. This is a little further along in that flight following a sail boat as he sails among the moored yachts. https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2-Wor.../MB%20Sail-E_m p4-1920.mp4 So was that guy unskilled, or so skilled that he likes to get very close to things? I think he had a pretty good idea of what he was doing. He got close to some, but didn’t hit any. He also knew enough of the local bay waters to know when to tack to avoid the shallows. Nice videos again btw, and you’re clearly getting better at smoother movements. Thanks. You know how it is with most things, practice, practice, practice. -- Regards, Savageduck |
