Hi guys.

Here is little video I made from my recent trips around southern Iceland.

The quad is a QAV500 from fpvmanuals.

Hope you guys will like it ;)

Really, really nice footage and the perfect audiotrack to it

Some shameless plugging of my article: http://flitetest.com/articles/simple-timelapse-intro-rig
It's a way of doing your time-lapse.

WOW!! that was simply just amazing. I saw you were using GoPros. You should submit it to the GoPro website for the Video of the Day contest. Also what tripod were you using to do the moving time lapses?

Jackson on August 22, 2013
Thank you very much for your comment! Other people have also told me to submit it to GoPro and I have done it, I just hope that they will like it ;)
But with time-lapses, I just glued a egg-timer at the top of the small tripod and a GoPro mount on top of the egg. It is simple and cheap, and also work very well ;)

Cool! I have seen the tripod in several stores but I saw something else under the GoPro and- Wow, that is just a brilliant idea! Just as you stated simple and effective. Keep up the work and good luck to you in the competition.

Nice. Not only does your entire setup seem very nice, the song really made the video pop. If you would have had a skrillex song in it, the video just wouldnt have been as good... Very nice job.

Jackson on August 23, 2013
Yeah that's right, I found it pretty hard to find the right song to the video, but I think that this song went well with it. Thank you for the comment :)

it really is tricky finding the right music. There are very few reliable resources for music that fits with this type of video.

You did a great job on this video! The footage is breathtaking and very stable!
I like the mixing with the time-lapse egg timer GoPro shots. I've been thinking about that as well.
I saw a guy that used 2 of them to get multi axis panning.
Iceland looks like a place with so many different types of landscape, wonderful!

Thank you so much ;)
If you use two egg-timers at once it will of course get more complex and also you will have a shorter time-lapse/sequence. But it can also look very cool if you are like taking a time-lapse of the sky and the clouds or are close to something.
And yeah Iceland has a lot of different landscapes and this video was only shot in the south.

we have a photo magazine over here (The Netherlands) that did an issue about Iceland and the photographer involved a lot of landscapes and noted that it is a country of 'Four seasons in a day' (one of my favorite songs by Australia's crowed house BTW)
wehre scenery changes as you look at it ..
Love to go there when I get the chance ....
Love the passage through the 'valley with the upright stones' (I lack better words for it), but I guess you know what I mean...

Wow, amazing video!
Definitely brings back some good memories. I spent two years in Iceland from 01-03 on Keflavik NAS. I absolutely loved every minute of it and didn't want to leave. My first daughter was born up there, so we wanted to get her back to the states to meet the rest of the family. I have always told her that we are going to take a trip up there one of these years so she can see where she was born and how beautiful the country is. Not to mention, the women up there are just as beautiful as the country itself. :)

Ahh I miss it!!

Breathtaking! Great job. Can you describe how you did the moving time-lapse sequences?
Log In to reply
Jackson on August 22, 2013
Thank you very much! I just glued a egg-timer at the top of the small tripod and a GoPro mount on top of the egg. It is simple and cheap, and also work very well ;) But with the time- lapse at the end where it zooms out, I did that in the editing software.

Thank you very much! I do live in the capital, Reykjavík. But I often travel around the country but this was the first times where I took the quad with me. Looks like I will have to do that more often ;) Thank you tough for the subscription, I had already subscribed you long time ago. And yeah you should come and visit again. Hope your last visit was a good one ;)

Very Moving.. Way to go Jackson! Keep it up.......

And speaking of which...how far from Reykjavik? Where is exactly? I need to add Visit Iceland to my bucket list!

Yeah, thank you for the advise! All the places in this video is from the southern part of the Island. Like 3-5 hours driving distance from Reykjavík.
