Ride&Fly S02E02: Prigglitz, Gasteil and Bürg

This time some proper ride shots (about 50%) as well to suite the theme. Pretty happy with the results (and possibilities) of the 360 cam on the bike. Also nice that I could directly edit the 360 footage in premiere! Also really happy about the range and image quality of the DJI system on the Chimera5 here. Still not sure if I need a naked gopro or another lightweight cam for HD footage - since the maximum flighttime and ease of use are my main focus for these videos (there are enough overproduced cinematic videos online already :) Thanks for riding along, greets, Mario

iFlight Chimera5 - NOT a typical 5" drone!

Let's have a closer look on the Chimera5 and see why it's not a typical 5" drone and join me on 4 flight sessions. Spoiler: loved this copter from the start and didn't find any downsides (normally I'm not so positive when reviewing stuff :)

iFlight Chimera5: https://bit.ly/3tGvMDV (product supplied by vendor for review!)

Weight: 278gr (dry, with Gopro "fingers" but not the mount) (that's really lightweight - compared to ~450gr of typical 5" drones)

Ride&Fly S02E01: Rocks, Trains and Mountains (Rax, Kreutzberg)

Had a day off and finally could take out the bike for a scenic ride. 3 stops, Dji drone worked really nice here!

DJI FPV: ND Filters vs Jello

While this drone doesn't satisfy everybody (especially since it has been overhyped) it's still a pretty good fast flying action cam. Only if you fly slow, or in certain extreme situations you get ugly vibrations that cause wobbly, jello issue in your footage.

►Freewellgear NDFilters (they sent me the filters for free)

If you compare DVR (unstabilized) footage vs. Rocksteady stabilized footage from the drone - you see how good the stabilization works - but it's not a magic tool that eliminates all the shakes (like Gopro hypersmooth?). So if we help a bit by reducing the ammount of light on the sensor, the shuttertimes can be longer (1/120 is my suggestion). BUT: you shouldn't stay on AUTO exposure, because the cam tries to increase ISO to get enough light. Well maybe you can stay on auto if you chose the right ND filter for your current daylight situation. You can see this in the camera settings, it actually tells you the EV (exposure value) in manual mode. EV should be 0 or maybe -0.3 while ISO is on 100 (you see in my video that I had to use the ND8). Hope this helps you capture even better footage with this drone, happy flying (and filming), Mario
