GoPro Cameras and Drones

Capture an Ocean View

Ocean Views are among nature’s most generous gifts to us. But how does one capture the ocean view with all its scenic awesomeness on film? Is it the camera or the technique? Or both? In the following paragraphs, you will learn how to capture the perfect ocean view with GoPro Cameras and Drones.

About the GoPro Drone
Last September, GoPro launched its Karma Drone with improved Hero 5 cameras. This device (weighing 2.2 pounds) comes with foldable wings and collapsible landing skids, taking the camera as high as 14,500 feet in the air. Alternately, you can use any automated drone and attach your GoPro camera to it.

Shoot in 4K
Shoot in 4K to get the highest quality footage, whether you are using drones or sunglasses. 4K footage also provides you flexibility during post-production. The benefit of using GoPro cameras is that they have time-lapse settings, so you can use automated photocapture during your drone’s flight. You can also use the simultaneous capture feature to take high resolution stills while shooting video.

Set a Narrow Field of Vision
When shooting from a drone, there is obviously some distance between the camera and the subject. Even if you are shooting from GoPro sunglasses from a height, you want to set your field of view as narrow as possible. This is because in a wide shot, you can lose your subject entirely.

Be Steady and Slow
Finally, when shooting with the GoPro Drone, the idea is to fly slow and steady. This is not only safe, but it also allows you to adjust the frame when you find the perfect shot. Make sure that as your drone rises, the camera is tilted down so as to provide you the best cinematic views.

All in all, GoPro devices have made it incredibly easy for you to capture the ocean view with incredible ease. You just have to go with the flow.
