DJI Mini 5 Pro Hyperlapse - Number of photos
Show More Show Less View Video Transcript
0:00
In most cases, I like to shoot 300
0:02
photos as it make it easy to compute the
0:05
time needed according to the interval
0:07
between shoots. At an interval of one
0:10
photo every two seconds, the shooting
0:12
time will be 10 minutes. At an interval
0:15
of 3 seconds, it will take 15 minutes.
0:19
After 4 seconds, 20 minutes, and so on.
0:23
With 300 photos, the length of the
0:25
resulting hyperlapse will be just above
0:27
12 seconds. When using a frame rate of
0:30
24 frame per second, this is the minimal
0:33
length for a meaningful short movie.
0:38
With groundbased cameras, we can go for
0:41
much longer movies,
0:44
but with drones, we are limited by
0:46
battery life.
0:53
The Mini 5 Pro has a battery life about
0:56
3 minutes longer than the Mini4 Pro,
0:58
which is particularly useful for
1:00
hyperlapses.
1:02
Considering the time for taking off,
1:04
setting the hyperlapse, and returning
1:07
home, we can comfortably get at least 15
1:10
minutes of actual shooting.
1:14
To stay on the safe side, we should aim
1:16
for 300 photos. Although in my tests,
1:19
I've been able to easily take 350 photos
1:22
at an interval of 3 seconds for a movie
1:25
of almost 15 seconds. The intelligent
1:29
flight battery plus adds extra
1:31
flexibility with an extended flight
1:33
time, which is a big bonus for
1:35
hyperlapses. Sadly, it is not available
1:38
in EU countries.
