We arrived at 5am to set up 3 cameras, was heavy dew so we did battle a little condensation. We filmed 3 days in a row with long lenses on day one shooting from across the lake. Thankfully that was the only day where there was no fog on the lake. I would love to see any footage you take as it is always inspirational seeing others perspectives on similar events.

Is there a place you would recommend to take pics from a more top down view of the balloons you think? after wanting to take some higher ground pics of the whole event

@@rchow4100 this can be challenging to work out as there are a few factors to consider. Firstly, the balloons usually take off from the lake which is within the Hospital helipad (a controlled airspace) this means you cannot legally fly a drone nearby. The other factor to consider is knowing where the balloons will end up. For me I managed to fly from Minogue Park, outside controlled air space and far enough away from the balloons. Tills lookout may also be a good place to catch some action.

I got there at 5AM to get a good position and setup 2 cinema Cameras but around 6:30 there was a good crowd growing and lots of big flames lighting up the dawning sky.
