During the past year I must have seen this video at least three times; and every time I am surprised by new discoveries about the beauty of Valletta and its surroundings! The artistry of Team Stealth Rotors delivers unimaginable pleasure to whoever sees this spectacle. Thank you for this presentation!
this video does great justice to our beautiful Island of Malta, especially Valletta. It is the best video I have ever seen of Malta. I was born in Malta and proud of it, keep looking after it. I have lived most of my life in England but I now appreciate Malta more than ever, and visit quite frequently. keep up the good work. Josephine Upton
Nice shots! I'd like to visit Malta one day to see what it's like. I'm not sure if I could get used to living on a tiny island, but at least the weather's great and the people speak English. Why did you choose the Discovery Pro frame if I may ask? Almost every Discovery Pro video I've seen has slight vibrations in it. I think the clean/dirty frame designs such as the QAV etc. produce smoother video and that the TBS frames are overrated+overpriced, probably due to their much better marketing skills. Tip: I noticed in the panning shots that the video was resampled (i.e. 2 frames mixed into 1) when paused. I made that mistake too in most of my earlier videos. Now I explicitly disable it for each clip I use in Sony Vegas (default is 'smart resample').
Hey there :) Well I managed to get my TBS Disco with 0 vibrations actually after balancing motors and Blades. I'm really happy with the end results and its flying characteristics. Re. editing, I am using Adobe Premier Pro... I will check how to disable re-sampling - thanks for the tip! Steve
I tend to agree with Lino with regard to editing and continuity but photography was great, some views that I have never seen. Searched the site for some of your work Lino - did not find any. Anyway we can all be critical if we are not professional!
Xi ġmiel ta' filmat, Steven. Kompli f'dit-triq u uri liż-żgħażagħ tagħna l-ġmiel ta' pajjiżna. L-għażla tal-mużika wkoll hi addattata u tmur tajjeb ħafna mal-andament tal-filmat. Nissuġġerilek in-naħat tal-Imdina, ir-Rabat Ħad-Dingli u l-Imġarr u Fomm ir-Riħ, jekk mhux diġa għamilthom u naħat oħra sbieħ anki fin-naħat t'isfel ta' Malta bħal Xrobb l-Għaġin u Marsaxlokk u ma għandniex xi ngħidu Għawdex. Kompli u maż-żmien ittejjeb il-filmati.
Beautiful locations and I envy your equipment, but may I make a few comments. 1. There is no sense of flow when you switch between locations. Locations change randomly between Valletta, Floriana and the Three Cities. 2. Music is a bit melodramatic
Excellent Steven, prosit! Seeing my home country in these shots makes me truly proud to be Maltese. And, if you're going to fly a Quad, what better place do it? :o) Whats you rig - DJI? I have just got a Walkera Qrx 350 pro and can't wait to use it, albeit in the UK (at present!)
What an amazing shame that such equipment and great picture quality should be handled by persons who have no idea how to tell a pictorial story....The editing of the excellent pictures is atrocious. The brain is jerked from one scene to another: no attempt is made to make a smooth story telling flow of scenes. One is jerked from one part of the city to another - even leaves the city - and then snapped back to parts of the first scene.....the quick fade out/fade in is irritating.
Dear Mr Spiteri, Kindly note that we are neither professional movie producers, nor professional video editors. We just are into the hobby of building, setting up and flying RC quad-copters and planes, which is a huge hobby in itself. Unlike many others, we choose to contribute to the society for free for people to enjoy Malta's beauty by gradually teaching ourselves how to edit our own footages. Since you seem to be some kind of big time Hollywood movie producer, we're looking forward to see some of your masterpieces and maybe learn a thing or two from your editing and video production skills. If not.... you're probably one of those lazy idiots who prefers to sit on his ass cosily at home all day long not being capable of doing nothing else but criticize other people's efforts. Eagerly waiting for some links displaying your works ;)

Beautiful!
Great video of Valletta (and beyond). Thank you.

Thanks a million
As always Breathless shots and the music chosen makes the perfect video well done Boys.
Amazing views, you give us a perspective of this little Island we never had before. Thanks for sharing your work.

Well done Steven, you did a great job! Malta is my favourite place. It's so beautiful and unique from all aspects.

Thanks Henry
Nice to view :-)

Very nice video, can anyone tell me which church is in the footage 3.22 minutes into the video ?

Hi there, we're using TBS Discoveries which are modded by us mainly :) Thanks for the comments!
Great pictures but stuffed up with large company emblem and the rotor design shown throughout.

Hi Mario... got a pretty good reason for the logo.... believe me ;)
What is the music please.
