See the V&T Steam Train October 28, 2023 for the 1:20pm run. We hear it before we see it, as the train is in Tunnel 4 when the video starts. As the train emerges you can see Ed going heavy on the smoke for a while, as we stay ahead of the train for a while. Then we get a side view and follow it across the highway.
This was done with audio using a Zoom H2n recorder in Spatial mode and then Adobe Premiere just did something to make that stereo for the upload to KZfaq.
This is not my best flying but pretty good. I'm getting the 3-5 second shots, several good ones, for marketing uses. My flying could have been better, and at one point I think the obstacle avoidance detected that wire above the truck route bridge (tunnel 5), I almost hit that wire!
I was parked across the canyon from Homestead Road over on the truck route (341 at that point?). I was about five turns down in a pullout, able to look back across at the tracks and see tunnel 4 directly.
I think I was actually a little nervous shooting this, that's why I couldn't quite get the drone locked in on that one segment as we approach the bridge.
Anyway, enjoy the video, it's a pleasure to be able to provide the real sound.
