First attempt at some proper filming.
All my previous flights were really just practice sessions to get used to what the heli can, and cannot, do. So last night I thought Id go out filming today but this time to shoot some proper, for want of a better term, footage.
Its not exactly ideal at the moment. Still in the last throws of winter here. No leaves on trees and everything looking a shade of gray. So I put what I thought were the optimum settings on the camera. Decided to try 4K again. Everything set up so I could just pick up my rucksack and go.
Got up this morning just as the sun was rising. Great! Lighting would shortly be at optimum. Scrapped off the ice on the cars windscreen. Hands rather numb at this stage. Drove off to my usual shooting spot. Put everything together in car so I could just get out and walk a short way ready to start filming before I lost that good light.
Walked to my usual spot, sheltered behind a huge bush. Only to find a sheep had just given birth to twins right on my take off point. I thought her needs were greater than mine, besides which the new lambs did look so cute.
I drove off to another spot a couple of miles away. Had lost that light but it would still be quite good. No wind! *** cold but still quite good.
Spent a good 20 mins putting all my practiced skills to the test. Battery on one bar so called it a day.
Back at home I put the SD into the computer and although the scenes were very clear my computer really cannot handle 4K videos. So at the moment I am uploading the raw footage straight onto Youtube. 2 hours left!
Obviously I will loose some quality when Youtube has finished processing but at least I feel I have progressed a little. Will post when Youtube has finished.
