Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Do they do any photographer composition stuff when they're taking pix with a drone, or do they just send it up to take pix and hope some are framed around the view nicely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 These units communicate directly with a tablet ..attached to a rigid harness worn by the operator - and also containing the controls. So there is 'live view' and when the screen contains a subject - then 'click' ..press button /take photo .I guess there could be more composition done if time permits - but batteries only last for 20 mins..,and time is money :) The live view is clear , even in daylight - and the whole thing is fascinating to me :) When doing video - same sort of thing - @ 60 kph LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazyWal Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Stunning! Is that a houseboat on the river Perse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Stunning! Is that a houseboat on the river Perse? yes. That sandbar is rarely without a moored houseboat - it's a perfect mooring , and folks enjoy looking at our cliffs :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 It makes me want one. What sort of camera did they use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) These are encouraging Perseph - our neighbour is arranging to have one come to our area "after it rains" - not much point now bare and under drought. I have "ordinary" aerial shots of the district from 30 years ago, green as Ireland, unbelievable. Our springtime green after rainfall is very fleeting, so looking forward to having some drone-platform shots taken to look at for the rest of the year. There is no dramatic/beautiful scenery around as you have to warrant having them come sooner. Bring on the rain. OH talks about getting a "hobby" one: I'm a bit worried about what effect it might have on the animals - did any of yours react or don't you have muddle-headed goats/sheep etc who are easily panicked??

persephone Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 It makes me want one. What sort of camera did they use? this is the unit used for these shots - LINK The new quadcopter's leading feature is 4K video capture from a DJI proprietary camera with a 94-degree angle of view. As you can see in the video we cut together above, the camera takes some striking footage. Though 4K displays in every living room are still a long way off, the extra resolution provides other advantages, like being able to crop in on an area of your footage without losing quality. they have other, larger 'copter' units - and also units with wings- which suffer badly from wedgetailed eagle attacks ! more info HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
