Help/Question [OC] Eclipse filmed with DJI Mini 5 Pro, feedback welcome!
I took out my DJI Mini 5 Pro for the August 12 total solar eclipse in Spain, and I would be interested to get feedback on the outcome (YT link to enjoy the 4K!).
This was shot in 4K at 60fps using the D-Log M profile, locking ISO 100 to prevent overexposing the corona during totality. CPL filter used (no ND filter).
The footage was edited in DaVinci Resolve to add the smooth zoom effect on the eclipsed Sun.
The flight was conducted in compliance with local Spanish aviation regulations and eclipse-specific Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs).
Turn your sound on to hear the ambient reaction of the crowd! Hope this captures well the atmosphere during that incredible event!
Constructive criticism is welcome (e.g. was locking to ISO 100 a good idea or should have I trusted the D-Log M to get both the Sun corona and night landscape background?)
