    Hey, 2024 eclipsers! Thanks for stopping by. I have some quick advice on filming this one with a drone: Don't try to capture the actual eclipse with your drone's camera.
    Even if you have a gimbal that can pan up, it will only end up looking like a white dot. You can, and likely will damage your drone's camera also if you do not have the correct filter. I suggest shooting flat/down towards something, or even just the horizon, to capture the shadow/darkness as it passes over the land.
    For settings -- the most important thing is DON'T use auto exposure! The camera will constantly adjust the exposure and you will not get a good darkened effect. Set it, pick the exposure while in full sunlight and then let it go. This will also allow you to just enjoy the eclipse and not spend too much time farting around with a drone.
    Best of luck to you all!

      postshanna No post production modifications except speeding it up a bit. My Mavic was using TrueColor -- my favorite general setting. And oh yes the fireworks were a nice surprise.

    • @JohnCuppi
      @JohnCuppi  4 місяці тому

      Nope - I have to pass on this next eclipse, I’m afraid. Honestly if I ever did this again I would get a 360 degree camera and capture everything around it, and get a camera on the ground with audio to capture the sounds of the birds etc on the ground as things change from night to day.

    • @rishic7310
      @rishic7310 4 місяці тому

      That’s my plan actually. I’ll have my drone up 400ft, I’ve got LAANCE approved. Nikon camera with 600mm zoom lenses at the sun. My HD webcam connected to laptop recording as well. And my phone also recording around me.

    • @JohnCuppi
      @JohnCuppi  5 місяців тому

      No ND filter was used for this. Unfortunately I have absolutely no recollection of what settings. Are you trying to prepare for the one coming April 8?

    • @mattlloyd947
      @mattlloyd947 5 місяців тому

      @JohnCuppi yes I am. I'm in upstate NY. Not sure if the sun will be too high for a drone though
