I live in the western lakes area of MPLS. There are several sea planes on Lake Minnetonka that show up. Certainly, not an airport or even a landing strip per se. I've been ignoring some these. There are smaller airports in the area but are fewer and farther between.

Right now, I'm still in awe of drone footage, gopro sharpness/4K and the thrill of getting awesome perspectives. Once I'm more comfortable, I can move toward story telling! But here, I feel I can post anything (OK, nothing 10 minutes long) and get some feedback.

Yeah, I know! I'm a noob when it comes to video and I need more discipline on that but sometimes find it hard to do just that. I have no problem culling and editing when it comes to photography but for some reason, I find it harder with video. So long as I keep learning and trying . . .

I was visiting the Milwaukee area and had my Solo with me. It was an unseasonably warm day and a good one for flying. Solo mounted with my modified hero 4 black with Peau 3.97mm lens.

I now have the lens and ultimately, like it a lot. I shoot the lens with native white balance and flat and correct in post (as recommended by Peau). This requires a bit more work in post but it's better than default GoPro Protunes with stock lens. I do find the lens to be sharp but also needs...

Still learning everything from flying to post. This video is certainly not perfect but it was a glorious morning with little wind, warmer temps (for Minnesota) and sun. For those interested, this is my first video with my Peau modified (3.97mm) Hero4 Black

I just use a piece of cardboard on top of the snow, especially if the snow is soft and fluffy! Works like a charm.

Yup, Peau CPL . . . and thanks. Here's a few more also with the Peau CPL. Can't wait to fly with this rig now.

I just got my Peau 3.97. Preliminary results tell me that the lens doesn't focus as well at minimum focusing distances (1ft) as the stock lens but at middle and infinity, the lens is pretty awesome. Here are a few photos I just took with the lens. I had the camera set to Protunes color but...

Suburbs of Minneapolis . . . Lake Minnetonka

Close . . . Minnesota!

thank you! I hadn't come across that point but will do in the future. This was only flight 4 for me never having flown so I felt FTH was helpful. I should know how to land regardless!

Yeah, you're right about the length . . . I need to get there! Thanks!

After many days at temperates below zero (F), I finally had a warmer, calmer day to do some flying. However, it was dark and dreary. Still learning and making mistakes in flight (a evident in various places). I processed this entire video with Davinci Resolve 12 just to see how it does from...

Just want to share my recent experience with Peau Productions and their customer service. Last week I sent my GoPro Hero4 Black to Peau Productions to have the lens replaced with their 3.97mm 16MP lens. The camera was to arrive at Peau on Tuesday. I was out of the country and when I returned...
