    Well done Captain Eclipse !!!; this was first and foremost a great "Mother Nature" event explanation (and well done); also , the Historical location was fascinating (including the other "Humans" who attended, thank goodness "Tractor Man" wasn't on duty; !!!) ; the footage from the Mini 4 is simply staggering when you compare it to any of the latest Mavic incarnations...........

  • @daviduk2510
    @daviduk2510 Před měsícem +1

    Awesome! Good that you got totality with the corona. Great shots and location. I caught the August 1999 one in England. On impulse I drove 6 hours overnight after work to Penzance and 11 hours back the following day. Everywhere was booked up, police shut roads and diverted traffic, so couldn't avoid the conjestion out of Cornwall and the west country. This was before camera drones and smartphones. It was an experience worth the journey, even though it was overcast that morning. Sir Patrick Moore was doing a live broadcast nearby and suggested to look to the west to see the approaching shadow of totality travelling towards us at over 1,000 mph. You have to be there, glad you got to see it.
    Have an awesome day.

      @Matanumi Před měsícem +1

      I remember the one from 2017 it was surreal- it's like it got darker while still being light and hot out- I remember using my welding helmet on that day to check it without burning my eyes.
      This time was far more lame- clouds

    We were in the direct line of the total eclipse. Watched from in front of our garage. Viewed the eclipse ftom beginning to end about a little over an hour. Our street lights came on as well as tge neighbors night lights. The birds began to sing as we passed into light once again from the total eclipse. Awesome!😊

    This was a fun one, Cap'n! I was hoping to be able to capture the transition from light to dark to light again with my Mini, but it was too windy here in Brockville for me to keep it up at altitude. Great to see what you were able to capture, and definitely glad to have had the chance to experience a total eclipse, even if we had some cloud during totality - it was till a pretty awesome thing. Love the content as always - happy flying!

    Thank you for this great video. The footage taken with the second ground camera from behind you looks so unreal. There is light but a the same time it looks like there is no light. I love the shots taken from above with the DJI Mini 4 pro, especially the look around at the "360 degrees sunset". Fantastic material and great editing! Looks like it was a lot of work. It was really worth it! Not to mention all your plans. You have chosen a very beautiful location. It was a pleasure to watch your video and listen to the narration. Best gretings from a heli freak in Poland!

    Yeah, some people have the luck I guess. Every single time we have some kind of celestial show, I can never see it, because it's either raining, cloudy, or something else but I never get to actually see it with my own two eyes.
    The last time we had some kind of comit and it was closer than the moon and could be seen with the naked eyes, but of course we had a rain storm come that same early evening.
    Of course I was pissed and should have known better. This eclipse was similar, we had a bunch of clouds coming in early afternoon.
    Either way Steve, I enjoyed the video and you caught some great stuff. Thanks for sharing.

  • @gpierre90
    @gpierre90 Před měsícem +1

    Hi Steve, Thanks for sharing. I will be honest, never in my life have I experience a total solar eclipse first hand and with my own eyes, everytime one comes to my location, the weather is always problematic, if its not rain, its total cloud cover and I live on an island. It feels surreal and almost eerie as the light dissappear and everything becomes dim around you and the mini shot looks cool when you look towards the horizon and see light there and almost like a sunset. I wonder how people in flight would have seen the eclipse if their flight was going towards the solar eclipse flight path? That would be great to see also.
