    Hoverfly What Makes Good Aerial Video

    I'm going to argue a bit with some of your points, of coarse its tough to argue after watching your aerial footage, well done. Often times the best shot for a scene is not the "best shot" but the one that works best in context of the overall program, so although being an editor may not help you...

    Hoverfly What Makes Good Aerial Video

    If the lights are as bright as you say then I too suggest shooting early morning or dusk. If the lights are bright you should be able to stop down and make it appear being sh

    Hoverfly What Makes Good Aerial Video

    Its great that people like this thread, it would be better if we continued contributing to it. Are things really this slow in the MR world?

    Hoverfly What Makes Good Aerial Video

    There's a lot of great footage that they could have used. I imagine they would have used more of your footage if the stadium wasn't empty and there's nothing you could do about that. I think Dave's point about the more a director knows your capabilities the more likely they are to use you is...

    Hoverfly What Makes Good Aerial Video

    That's great, you gotta love that blue field. I would like to see the rest of your footage. This video is a good example of something that is really cool but it doesn't say anything. As a reveal it was a great shot to open with, but I'm surprised that they didn't stay on it a little longer...

    Hoverfly What Makes Good Aerial Video

    Here's a slightly different opinion. All of the suggestions so far are great and although applicable to aerial cinematography I think there are some differences, that a few talented people are exploiting, that differentiate it from traditional cinematography. And that goes for traditional...

    Hoverfly My Brushless Gimbal

    I don't suppose it will carry an NEX5N?

    Hoverfly My Brushless Gimbal

    That looked great, especially considering how windy it was. What camera? I took a look at their website, I couldn't figure out how to order anything. Probably me, I'm getting so impatient with online shopping, if I can't figure out what it is and how to order it in a minute or two I just give...

    WOW!!! talk about risky aerial filming. No MR's but...

    That's insane! How do you learn to fly like that? That would give a whole new meaning to the term "wardrobe malfunction."

    Hoverfly Building an X8 with HFPro

    What frame are you using? Also what props are you using? Before I can wire it I have to buy ESC's, I read the Castle Creations thread on RCGroups and like many of these threads was a bit all over the place, if everyone said they were great maybe I wouldn't mind spending the extra money but it...

    Hoverfly Building an X8 with HFPro

    I posted this on RCGroups in the Hoverfly forum but got no response. Not sure if its just a slow day or if the activity has migrated to this forum so I thought I would post it here. Anyway, I've had a HFPro controller for more than six months and have not installed it on anything but since the...

    What frame rate did you shoot that at? What's DMF? Are you using a NeX5n?

    Hoverfly Anyone Using Carefree?

    I guess it depends on why you fly. Even if I don't use it on a flight, I find it very comforting knowing that this functionality is available if I need it for any reason. It seems to lesson the pressure on the shoot. I have yet to fly my HFPro and I don't have a GPS for it anyway, all the...

    Hoverfly Anyone Using Carefree?

    Yes, the answer is no. As long as the Tx stays in the same orientation it was when you armed the FC then once you switch into Carefree orientation makes no difference. The exception to this is that if the multirotor passes behind you and you turn to face it that would be the same as flying...

    Hoverfly Anyone Using Carefree?

    Yeah it wouldn't work well for FPV, The other thing I'd point out about carefree is that you don't have to use it all the time. If your LOS and not having any trouble with orientation then you probably don't need to use it. But if you lose orientation just turn it on and orientation is no...
