Orbit Mode Small Catholic Church

MJensen · Mar 21, 2017

I've found the Orbit mode to be extremely easy to use in congested areas as long as the x-star clears the highest obstacle. Orbit mode frees up my hands to control the gimbal and camera settings. I usually like to use ground b-roll to add interest to most scenes.

Nice work! Sacramento, I lived there once in another life, but I don't recognize the church next to the railroad tracks. I am sure that could have been challenging during a wedding shoot with a passing train.

The orbit mode is great for churches. I am doing an extensive job for a local one that has a high steeple. It towers over all the trees and everything, so as long as I clear the cross on top, set that point for the orbit center, it is a breeze. Also, I like setting up a waypoint flight around the church, maybe clearing the steeple to the left or right, then once saved, I can call it up next flight and use the camera without having to pilot the X-Star...so much fun!
