Okanagan Valley BC, Canada Boat Chase

Some test footage I was playing with last night:

I uploaded in 4k so you can up the resolution in youtube if you have the bandwidth.

Wonderful footage and editing. Really nice camera work on a moving subject, not easy to do. Just curious, did you fly the Inspire from inside the boat or were you in a chase boat, on land, etc.? Any advise would be appreciated.

I can see somebody in the boat with a controller and screen, but not sure if it's camera only or the operator.

Nice work

It did well to keep up with that boat... nice framing of the boat

???? but where did you land the inspire

Yes I piloted and operated the camera myself while onboard the boat being filmed. Can get tricky with all the bouncing around. I found it easiest to fly line of sight, not off of the monitor (ipad) and then just edit out whatever wasn't framed nicely.

Stood at the bow and captured by hand away from the other passengers. I did however set a home point in a nearby field before I commenced shooting as a redundancy.
