This was filmed on 2 Solos with a friend who also owns the Solo, in fact this was his first flight with the gimbal, this was filmed in around an hour, edited over 2 evenings. It's a fairly dangerous site, so we avoided any internal shots, but I may go back looking for some safe enough to shoot and then add those to the edit.

One GoPro is stock fisheye lens (corrected in post), the other a 4.35mm. I think they match together fairly well, but judge for yourself.

Very nice, but one piece of criticism from someone who doesn't know a lick about film production or editing, but does know a good movie when he sees it.
I liked the shots where you took out a couple frames to give the shot that jump forward in time look. I don't think the jump was enough in the beginning. I thought the video was skipping the first couple times until I could see it was on purpose. I'd take out a few more frames to make the transition through time more effective. The last couple jumps where more effective because there were longer gaps.
Just my opinion.

Fair enough, I know what you're getting at, that entrance bugs a few people, but I've thought about alternatives, but decided to stick with it. It's one of those things where there's no right or wrong, but I can see why it bugs people too.

Ian, Great Video! and Great flying, I just asked to join the facebook Solo Mods group as well and see you're one of the admins. I look forward to joining the group.
