Drone Cowboys

Highlights from the last month of aerial media! I will take you through my Cowboy journey capturing some of the most amazing land I have ever seen. My kit includes: Quadframes Sixcopter, 3 Axis DSLR Gimbal, Sony NEX 5N and Lumix GH4. All the footage was shot in 1080/60fps. I edited the video with FCPX, and did very min post stab (0.5%). I am the owner and operator of Eclipse Aerial Solutions, I do everything pretty much solo, from flying and controlling the gimbal too editing. I love what I do and am grateful to make a living following my passion.

I really hope you guys enjoy this! Please feel free to ask me any questions.

 

Thank You,

Fly Smooth, and Fly Safe!

Really beautiful video. Nice work! Loved the shot with the (presumably) father/son scoping out a fly fishing spot.

Beautiful video. A work of art. If I could make one suggestion it would be to add more content to your article. The video is great, but what would make this a great article would be some details about your setup, your trip, challenges of shooting aerial footage, etc. I'm sure you've got a great story to tell and the rest of us could learn from your experiences. Thanks for contributing!

Thanks Filken.

I was thinking of doing a voiceover that I could discuss the different clips and talk about the setup involved etc, kind of like a day behind the controls of an aerial media operator. I appreciate the great advice and will update the content on the video description with more info on the shoots, setup, etc.

Thanks Again Filken

Thanks GB,

There is more to come, I will be doing a video "A day with a aerial media operator" Should be pretty cool to get an insight on everything that goes into a day of filming.

Thanks Again,
