Re: Applying for FAA permission
Exactly why I bought the 4K GoPro. I can zoom in nicely. That would allow both a safe (regulated) distance and one that abates the noise.
I'm still thinking it through, but I hopefully.

Re: Applying for FAA permission

The distance from people rule pairs nicely with concerns over noise and distraction. I thought the...

Re: Applying for FAA permission
Good notes. Looks like this exemption still requires a pilot's license (airman certificate) and it specifically mentions that the exemption doesn;t get you around that.
If you don't have one, the...

I shot a few seconds worth of footage of the aurora last night. I am disappointed I didn't stay out and get more, but as it was, I didn't get home until after 1am (and I'm usually asleep around...

Re: Canon 70D Audio
As far as I know, nothing does the focus tracking like the 70D. That's why we own them and a few STM lenses. Makes a chaotic period, like a wedding getting ready or the processional, much easier.

Re: Filming on smartphones
When there is good light, I've used mine like a GoPro. Nothing critical, just a 'take a chance' kind of camera angle. For example, a B&G first look that I really wanted a certain angle (from behind...

Re: Google ad words/SEO on your website? Help?
On the social media side, shares/retweets (at least 10) that include your website link, are a help. That is why the 5 minute trailer video is so useful.

Re: Fish eye lens
My only regular use has been:
balcony shot to get it all in
dance floor shot
exterior
