I'm new to this forum so hi al! I've been flying rc for years and started filming from fixed wing aircraft and gliders a few years back. Most of my aerial footage is now shot with a Phantom 2, H3-3D and Hero 3 Black, and a S900 with Z15 is on its way soon. I plan to sit the RPQ-S exam and flight test with both aircraft early next year to be able to undertake some commission and survey work.
I live in Shetland, the most northerly group of islands in the UK, some 120 miles north of mainland Scotland. I'm currently working on my own project to document the entire island group through aerial footage over the next couple of years, an ambitious plan considering the amount of non flying days up here! My Vimeo channel is growing almost weekly as new content is added, although with winter looming flying days will become even more scarce, and daylight only lasts five hours in midwinter!
Here's my latest addition and is representative of the kind of videos I'm producing. Filmed yesterday it takes in Voe, a pretty Nordic style village, and Mavis Grind, the narrowest part of the Shetland Mainland at only 33m between the Atlantic and the North Sea. I shoot in either 2.7k or 1080/25 with a medium field of view. Footage is graded and produced in FCPX and rendered in 21:9 (1950x837) HD ultra wide.
