Western Railroad Discussion > Mossbrae Daylight - Quadcopter VideoDate: 07/03/15 10:17 Mossbrae Daylight - Quadcopter Video Author: e9abba Almost two weeks after the event, I finally got around to editing and posting a quadcopter video of the Mossbrae Daylight when it made its round trip from Dunsmuir to Black Butte, California. Sorry... no railroad sound.. just music for this one. This was my first time flying a drone over the Cantara Loop/Sawmill Curve area. It made for some pretty good video. Hope you enjoy.
The special ran from the Bay Area to Dunsmuir on June 19th. On Saturday the 20th, the train performed its business function by carrying individuals interested in making the Mossbrae Trail a reality. Later on Saturday, the train returned to the Bay Area. A big thank you to Ryan Wikerson and family. It was also great to meet Photo Bob and the venerable John Signor.

Posted from Android Ryan Wilkerson Fair Oaks, CA Date: 07/03/15 12:04 Re: Mossbrae Daylight - Quadcopter Video Author: Auburn_Ed Since UAV's are so new to most of us, can we request the make/model of drone AND camera? We don't need to ask these questions for most digital DSLRs anymore, but (I think) drones are just exploding onto the landscape and many who might be interested in joining the hobby would like to know. Thanks. Ed

Date: 07/03/15 14:59 Re: Mossbrae Daylight - Quadcopter Video Author: e9abba The drone is a DJI Phantom 3 Professional. I had the Phantom 2 Vision Plus, but DJI has made some major enhancements with the next generation. The "Professional" denotes a 4K camera, which I did not take advantage of. The video was shot in 1080P. I don't have the processing horsepower at home to edit 4K video, but perhaps some day I'll upgrade my computing capabilities.

Alan Date: 07/04/15 08:32 Re: Mossbrae Daylight - Quadcopter Video Author: Auburn_Ed The video really shows, better than any other medium, the climb up and out of the Sacramento River Canyon. You can see the whole climb, from Cantara Loop to Mt. Shasta City. Amazing.

Great work, both in video work and quadcopter handling! It was just the right length as well, and you couldn't ask for better flying conditions! Best, Stan Date: 07/07/15 23:50 Re: Mossbrae Daylight - Quadcopter Video Author: Orient ok, I'll ask, why was the train running at less than 5mph there towards the end? Seemed like the entire trip was put on restricted speed. If I were on that train, I'd be saying "why are we going so slow? This is why trains aren't popular".
Date: 07/08/15 19:55 Re: Mossbrae Daylight - Quadcopter Video Author: e9abba At the end of the video, the train was passing Mossbrae Falls. The crew was instructed to travel at 5 mph so people in each car could view the falls.
