Getting high camera angles

“

- Hey there, I'm Robbie Carman. - And I'm Rich Harrington. - And Rich, this week we're gonna talk about getting the camera elevated and we're gonna do it in a couple fun ways, including flying a drone indoors. - Yeah, we actually got two different drones. We got a 4K GoPro here, hooked up to a Phantom. - Yep. - And then we've got the DJI Vision, which has the integrated system, which'll be fun. And then, we're also gonna just get the camera a bit higher by basically sticking it on the end of a pole. - Yeah, ya know, and getting the camera up in the air or elevated at least, whether that's on a ladder, whether it's on a poll, whether it's on a, you know, a drone like this, is gonna give you unique perspectives, and when it comes to, sort of, action sports like we're recording here today, at Flight Trampoline here in Virginia, getting the unique perspective is what it's all about. Sort of the lock down tripod shot doesn't really do a whole lot to tell the story, so getting the quadcopter up in the air, getting the camera elevated, looking down, is just gonna give us a little bit of a different look to help tell us our story. - So we'll see how the DJB does and how the quadcopters do, we may crash and burn this week. We're gonna see what sort of GPS reception these get on the inside, and hopefully none of our athletes are gonna snatch the copters out of the air. So, why don't we get ya started. - Yep. - And we'll start shootin' and we'll see what results we get.
