Flying Blackie at the Soviet War Memorial. Test of the ND Freewell Filters and the Active Track.

in busy •  7 years ago 

Last Friday there was a great time with a lot of sun and a blue sky and we decided to go, Blackie, some friends and me, to the Soviet War Memorial that is in Treptower Park to fly for a while. It was also a good opportunity to try Blackie's new sunglasses (the ND Freewell filters), with the sun that day he was going to need them.

A video says more than a thousand words!


What did you think of the video?


The filter I used was the Freewell ND 32 PL. It helped me to maintain the Shutter Speed at 50 (I shoot at 25 frames / second since I live in Europe) and thus achieve a little more naturalness in the image.

I definitely have to go back to that place. For being a holiday there were many people and I decided not to take many risks despite being a totally green area in the Air Map application (green means there are no apparent problems, yellow that there are certain restrictions and red that you can not fly) . Anyway, I always try to maintain a high safety margin while flying Blackie, I do not take much risk.

And well, with the help of my two friends I was able to test the Active Track that the Mavic Air has among its Intelligent Modes. In this mode the drone follows you with a fairly fluid movement, I was very surprised how well this mode works ...

... although sometimes he loses track ;)


It's amazing what little Blackie can do and I'm still learning. Definitely the possibilities are huge but I need to practice, practice and practice. In the end, that's the trick;)

By the way, I already imagine several music video clips with the help of the drone after seeing these images of the Active Track: D

And you?
