So as part of my on-going campaign to get @galenkp to pull the trigger on a drone, I took mine out to play today. Just kidding, I really just wanted to get it out and play, but always good to rub it in a bit for a mate when I get the opportunity.
This is some shots of some foothills near Sedalia, Colorado. I don't know why, but this rocky area and foothills just before going up the windy road into the national forest always draws my attention and I have always felt a pull towards it.
Well today I decided to finally stop and take some pictures and drone video.
The drone is a Mavic 2 Pro, basically a flying camera, with a 20 MP Hasselblad camera with 1 inch CMOS sensor that can also do 4K video. Range is about 5 miles and does 44.7mph (in sport mode). This video is flying much slower to keep the movements smoother. It supposedly has some really powerful low-light capabilities, but I haven't flown much like that to be honest. All kinds of other special video features, but I'm basically a still camera kind of guy, just getting my teeth wet on all the cool video and hyperlapse functions, etc.
So here's the video link, no edits other than cutting some dead time at the beginning and adding the sound to make it less boring:
