3 years later… still super relevant!!!
Cool nice job. The main issue with helicopters and filming is countering the aircraft’s vibration levels, and these vary with different phases of flight. The other filming point with helicopters is avoiding capturing the blades in your image during turns (unless you want that effect). Most experienced pilots will know how to flatten a turn’s bank angle to achieve this, but worth discussing with your pilot pre-take off.
this was extremely helpful, thank you.
I liked technical tips given by you. I would like to know more about professional video shooting from a helicopter. Like- camera mount, aperture, ND filter, shutter speed, stabilizing etc. Thank you.
Outro game is getting stronger! I really like the natural style the speaking portions are taking now. Beautiful footage, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Rach!
Great video Matthew! What Aperture and ISO Settings would you recommend for still images from a helicopter?
Always inspiring me! I hope to put all of these tutorial videos to good use one day in the NEAR future. 😁📸
Thank you :)
Really digging how you’ve been editing these vlogish/tips videos lately!
Glad you like it Colin!
THANKYOU...
For a moment i tought you were hyperlapsing in a helicopter... Amazing Video ! Keep them coming! :)
Of course, when you’re looking for something specific and clear, Matthew has a video about it! These tips are going to be super useful for me in the coming weeks.
Bedankt Matthew ;)
Great video! Really useful tips. Much appreciated!
One of the more niche tutorials on my channel haha but I'm glad you liked it!
You’re such a regal spokesperson, ⭐️
thank you Nancy, appreciate it
This is excellent! I have really been wanting tips on video and photos from a helicopter. Thank you!
Glad you dig it
Hi Matt. I love your work and have been following you for a good while now. Do you have control over where the ad cuts in? For me, your beautiful scenery was spolied by the ad in the middle. As a viewer, I much prefer getting the ads over and done with at the beginning. Enjoy a slower pace, cos we sure don't want you to burn out! Cheers. Kaz.
Hi Kaz, oh that's disappointing, I had no idea the ads were running in the middle of the video. All I can control is whether or not there's ads on this (I don't get ads as I'm on youtube red..). I might demonetise this video.. Thanks for letting me know :)
Your work is amazing. I love the stories your camera tells. And the awesome information you provide :)
Glad you like it
Very handy!
hello paulo
Planning on taking a heli over the Grand Canyon (Arizona) soon. Take stills? Take vids? Take vids and extract stills later? Advice.
I can't stop watching the palm trees reflection on the iMac screen... that movement makes me crazy, I was trying to focus on you, but I had to (only or just) listen this... I'm a weirdo, I know XD
hahaha Sorry!!!
THANKYOU
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video, i'm sur I would have made a lot of mistakes if I hadn't seen this one ! Cheers !
Matty wonderful video.. you should collab with folks like Peter and Casey when you go to America
Nice video... On Tuesday I will be taking photos on the Helicopter tour
...What kind of setting do you recommend ?? My flight is at 1 pm in
NYC.I am a beginner.. I have the Fuji Xt 3 , which lens should I use ??
Hey bro, new sub here but smashing through the content currently. Enjoying the cinematic style and you have a really chill genuine way of conveying your content! Makes it great to watch :D
Thanks a lot Brandon, that's great to hear!
What your price for a flight by hourly rate
Hay Matt 1 mille is 1.6 Klm .love this video Mate sorry for my riding I not good .
Thanks for posting. Do you use automatic ISO?
Hi Matthew, thanks for the video. The only content I found regarding that topic which ich well done. In few hours I am sitting on my first flight with a small plane sadly with non openable windows. I think pointing to a steeper angle on the ground will be difficult. So there's my advice what you might have to think of in that situation. Bring something to clean the window before flight. Which focal length did you use and in which height? I have a try on a 70-200mm on a fullframe with 45MP but bring a 24-70 along as well.
I'd honestly recommend sticking to the 24-70 and yes, pointing down will be hard as it increases the amount of 'window' the light goes through. Hope you have a great flight and thanks for the compliment!
Hi Matthew !
First a few Thank You:
- for bringing up some memories of my helicopter flight over Sydney in the year 2005
- for your tips about aerial photography
- for all the other tips on yourchannel
Let me make some suggestions about planning the flight.
Your flight was in a controlled airspace with a given routing and altitude by the authorities - not much to change about that.
Most of the helicopter companies have a desription of their tour on the website, so the company i flew with - Sydneyhelitours.com.au - does have. With this given routing you can prepare your flight with googleearth to find the points of interest.
Although flying with a helicopter in Australia is cheaper than it is in Germany i still call it an expensive amusement. The point is not to waste any time up in the air, talk about the details you wish to do and see to the pilot before you leave ground. The most common helicopter used for scenic flights is a Robinson 44 - that one you flew with. A door can be removed within 2 minutes by the way.
Where to sit when all 3 passenger doors are removed ?
The disadvantage of the left front seat is that there is a pilot sitting on the right. That blocks the view to the right and you should keep a safe distance between your camera gear and the flight controls. If you are the only person in the second row you can shoot to the right and the left.
I prefer the Canon 28-300mm lens, that one gives me the chance for closeups on objects on the ground and even the helicopters instruments in the dashboard.
And for those of you who don´t have an actioncam: I used my dashcam on my Zeppelin flight for some additional footage.
What aperture would you recommend shooting at to get most if not everything in focus when shooting from a helicopter?
I wouldn't go faster than f/8
What brand has your preference as it comes to polarisers ? In your Kit list I see a Hoya brand, did you choose that for a specific reason ?
I'm not sure why I picked Hoya at the start but it's been a reliable and smooth polariser even tho it's gone through so much travel and dirt haha. Still, time for a new one I think, my current one is quite scratched
Where is the zhiyun crane 1DX ii vid??
I second that comment! :D
the brotographer has a great video on it, I didn't have time to finish mine but I might in the near future.
😎🇺🇸👍 Good Stuff as always 🍺✌🏻
