Hacking Photography - one Picture at a time
Hyperlapse has become increasingly popular over the last couple of years, especially as gimbals and drones capable of shooting such sequences have become more prolific. But one area where we haven’t seen a lot of hyperlapse is on the water.
Well, Daniel Riley over at rctestflight realised his autonomous boats were slow and accurate enough that they just might work for something like this. So, he refined his design, stuck a gimbal and a camera on top, and the results are pretty awesome.
Last year, we showed you rctestflight’s crazy 1000 Watt LED light bar. Made from 10 individual smaller lights, it gives a total output of around 90,000 lumens. Already, it’s a pretty cool feat. For under $300 you can light up half a mountainside. Such a light would be a fantastic tool for filmmakers and photographers. But what if you want to raise it up a little higher?
Rctestflight has taken things a little further this time around. Swapping out the original LEDs for some Yuji high CRI LEDs. This raises the price quite significantly, from around $25 total per bulb to $100 per bulb. But this doesn’t help with the altitude. For that, he strapped it to a Freefly Systems Alta 8 octacopter drone. It makes for some very cool results.
