Hi, I’m Yannick Barthe, a Swiss aerial cameraman and aviation filmmaker. Since 2006, I’ve been traveling in Switzerland and abroad to film aircrafts, gliders, helicopters and other disciplines in the air with my company Yannick Barthe Films using the latest technology and video equipment to capture the beauty of flight – the third dimension like you have never seen it before. From the Rafale to the Airbus A380, through the legendary Mustang and Super Constellation, I’ve captured the breath-taking sequences and choreographies of the world’s most beautiful jets in formation like the Patrouille Suisse, the Patrouille de France or the Frecce Tricolori. The dream of flying has lost nothing of its attraction and its magic. Name and age: Yannick Barthe, 36. Currently based in: Delémont, Switzerland Language(s) spoken: French, English and German. Occupation: I’m an independent aerial filmmaker and drone pilot working in my own company Yannick Barthe Films, and also a part-time projects engineer in the middle voltage network in north Switzerland. As I have family, I decided to have two jobs for reasons of financial security, so I have the privilege to choose the projects I would like to work on and I don’t have the pressure of accepting a video job only for the money. This means more freedom, more passion, more creativity, and it also leaves me the possibility to start personal projects without a commission. How did you get started in our industry? I’ve been passionate about cinema since an early age, even building a movie theatre in my house. I went on to study engineering sciences with a specialisation in multimedia and internet. Today, as an electronic engineer, I’m mainly interested by new technology and video gear. When my brother started to play around with remote-controlled aircrafts, I followed him to film his displays and started to install onboard cameras on his plane. Later, in 2004, my brother and I started working with drones under the project name AEROMEDIA. Together we developed a revolutionary system mounting a DSLR camera on a radio-controlled helicopter specially designed for aerial photography. That was before the days of quadcopters and it required very good piloting skills. In 2008 we added thermal imaging capabilities to our helicopter using a special infrared camera in collaboration with an architect of our district. In 2006 I was commissioned to film my first aviation movie and it was the real start of my career in the aerial video production. For 10 years I’ve been filming aircrafts and airshows in Switzerland and abroad, and I’ve been the main filmmaker of the aerobatic jet team “Patrouille Suisse” since 2012. Current assignments: My work is always related to aviation or aerial images, such as films or videos for aviation companies, airshows, competitions, private pilots, aerobatic teams, as well as aerial work for construction sites or tourism using drones. Beside my daily activities, current assignments in the pipeline include a new project with the Patrouille Suisse and four video projects of aerial pictures with drones. What is your dream assignment/job in our industry, and what are you really passionate about? Each project is unique and there is a challenge on every shot when you work with aircraft. What I’m looking for is good relations with people involved in the project. There are a lot of beautiful aircraft to film but it’s very important for me to have a good collaboration, friendship and a real trust between the people involved in the project. One can feel these emotions in the pictures. In the work that you are presenting us, now that it is done, what would you have done differently throughout the production? Sometimes it’s hard to explain to customers the difficulties and needs involved in filming some of their ideas. One can’t make low cost videos when it comes to quality air-to-air footage. These days, I make the needs and costs of the project very clear right at the beginning, I keep my position and don’t hesitate to say “no” if I get a bad feeling. What current camera, lenses and sound equipment do you use? After several years with Sony ENG cameras and the amazing and easy-to-use B4 lenses, I decided to jump to Super 35mm and 4K resolution to answer some of my customer’s needs. In 2014, I updated my whole workflow to 4K, and now work with a Sony FS7. For my air-to-air shoots with aerobatics and high G-forces, I also work with my small Sony AX100 or a Sony Z100. My Sony FS7 is equipped with a set of Sony lenses: Sony PZ 18-110 F4, Sony Zeiss 16-35 F2.8, Sony Zeiss 24-70 F2.8 and Sony 70-400mm G II. When I need to film in confined areas or small cockpits, I also use the Sony A99 or the Sony A7 family of full-frame cameras. Of course, I also carry a lot of GoPros everywhere with me. You chose to shoot your project with Sony FS7 video camera. Can you please describe why you chose to use it, what was your workflow, were you happy with the results and will you ever go that way again? I’ve always worked with Sony video cameras. Of course, other brands are also very good, but when you already have accessories it’s easiest to stay with the same brand. You can share your batteries, charger, lenses, monitor and media cards. The Sony FS7 is very good bang for your buck. With one camera body I can film broadcast videos or cinematic films, 4K and slow-motion. The ergonomics are also way better than the old FS100 and FS700. What’s your favorite light equipment and why did you choose that kit over other solutions? Most of the time I film in the air as a single cameraman, so I have to manage my scenes with natural light. Do you use drones or gimbals in your productions? If so, what is the most effective way you’ve found to deploy them? I own a DJI Ronin and 4 DJI drones, from the smallest to the biggest one. They are real game-changers and an important tool for my aerial work. I fly and film with drones several times a week, but I don’t use the Ronin very often. For most of my aviation projects, I need to work alone in the cockpit or on the tarmac. When you are on a military airfield between planes, you do not have the time to handle a lot of equipment. You also need to stick to strict security rules. This is why I usually prefer working with my FS7, a zoom lens and my tripod. What editing systems do you use? After several years of editing with Final Cut Pro 7 and an 8-core Mac Pro, I was forced to switch to Adobe Premiere to edit 4K images. I really did not like the first version of FCPX. The last version is a lot better and I started to work with FCP again a few months ago. For the past few years, it has been very hard for professionals who are working on Apple computers to have a clear vision to invest in a new workstation. I currently work on a fully-upgraded iMac 5K and decided to not invest in another over-expensive and ageing Mac Pro. My computer setup is as follows: Apple iMac 5K 27” Apple MacBook Pro Retina Two G-technology G-RAID Studio 12TB Thunderbolt 2 synchronised 80TB offline archives G-technology G-Dock with a series of ev-Drives Adobe Premiere Pro CC Apple Final Cut Pro X How much of your work do you shoot in Log and what is your preferred way of colour correcting? For most of my work, I don’t film in Log because I need to work very fast and share parts of the footage with TV channels or airshow organizations just a few hours after filming. I always try to colour correct my footage to look as natural as possible. Aviation and air-to-air already provides such beautiful and colourful imagery, that I don’t want to change the colours too much. I just correct white balance and adjust saturation and contrast. How frequently do you travel, and do you have any tips when it comes to packing your gear? Travelling with video gear is the biggest pain in this job. I’ve had a few bad adventures with broken gear when I’ve travelled with airplanes, so I choose to travel by car as much as I can if the shoot is not too far away. For daily jobs, I own the Think Tank Logistic Manager 30. Many times I need to carry my gear to the top of mountains and other confined areas only accessible by foot – for these situations I use the big Kata GRIZZLY-3 Pro-Light Backpack.

DJI has announced a few updates to some of the drones in its prosumer tier, including the DJI Mavic Pro Platinum. DJI has made a number of small announcements at the IFA 2017 consumer electronics exhibition in Berlin, all of which revolve around lower three tiers in their line-up of drones. DJI Mavic Pro Platinum Perhaps the most significant of these announcements the new premium version of their popular entry-level compact drone. The DJI Mavic Pro Platinum features a couple of nice improvements over the standard Mavic Pro, the first of which is an 11% boost in battery life, bringing up to 30 mins. This premium version of the Mavic also features new speed controllers which, in addition to the new 8331 propellers, contribute to up to 60% noise power reduction of up to 4db. This noise reduction will work across all of the Mavic’s flight modes, and the new propellers will also be compatible with the regular version of the Mavic Pro. This new version features a platinum-coloured shell, and will go for $1,099, or $100 over the standard Mavic Pro. Pre-ordering is available from the links below. DJI Spark’s Sphere Mode and DJI Phantom Pro Obsidian The tiny DJI Spark also got a new feature. The new Sphere Mode is a variation of the Photo Panoramic mode that allows users to take a fisheye panoramic image. This new function, which adds to the various improvements that the Spark received recently, requires updating the DJI GO 4 app as well as the drone’s firmware itself. DJI Phantom 4 Pro Obsidian Finally, the Phantom 4 Pro drone gets a sleek new paint job. The DJI Phantom 4 Pro Obsidian comes in a matte-grey magnesium finish that is electroplated and anti-fingerprint, and requires a higher standard of manufacturing technique according to the manufacturer. The Obsidian edition offers no technical improvements over the regular model, but if looks are important to you, then you now have another option. Looking to buy a Mavic Pro? Do the new features of the Platinum version justify the slight price bump? Let us know your opinion in the comments!

A memo from the US Army reveals a cease of use of DJI Products due to undisclosed “cyber vulnerabilities”. Unmanned Aviation site sUAS News recently reported about an obtained memo from the US Navy that called for the institution to halt its use of DJI products. According to the document, this measure comes as a result of an “increased awareness of cyber vulnerabilities associated with DJI products”, citing a memorandum from the Navy titled “Operational Risks with Regards to DJI Family of Products” as well as “DJI UAS Technology Threat and User Vulnerabilities”, a report from the Army Research Laboratory that remains classified. Image Credit: sUAS News It is unclear what exactly is implied by “cyber vulnerabilities”, leading DJI to have reportedly reached out to the US Army for clarification. A response from the Army confirmed the outcome of the memorandum, but refused to comment further. DJI drones are not impervious to hacking, as we recently saw with the Russian company selling a hack to remove the DJI No Fly Zones restrictions. Perhaps they are also vulnerable to remote hacking by a third party, or maybe it has something to do with DJI’s data gathering. In any case, at this point it is all conjecture until DJI releases an official statement. It is worth mentioning, however, that DJI had been the most common off-the-shelf UAV products in use by the Army. Via: sUAS News. What kind of vulnerabilities do you think caused the US Army to drop DJI products? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

The DJI Spark camera drone has received a new firmware update that will include enhanced gesture control to start recording, a quick-shot feature as well as improved photo quality. Read on for a summary of the new features and how to install the new firmware. We recently featured a post by Tamás Kiss who was testing the Spark for cinema5D in Iceland. He had troubles with the gesture control – and now it looks like as if DJI enhanced some of these functions. New REC start/stop gesture The DJI Spark features an innovative 3D Sensing System that includes Gesture Mode and PalmControl. Using hand movements, Spark users can instruct their drone to follow them, take aerial selfies, send the drone away and order it to come back. The new Record gesture allows users to start and stop video recording with a simple arm movement. See the image below for more information on performing the new Record gesture.   Enhanced QuickShot video features for more cinematic control The Spark’s QuickShot Intelligent Flight Modes allows the drone to automatically fly along a preset flight path and track a subject along the way. Users can now control which circular direction the drone flies during Circle and Helix modes, offering more control when filming. Other QuickShot modes have also been improved by increasing the height gained during Drone mode and smoothing out the camera’s pitch in Rocket mode. A 180-degree photo shooting mode and improved photo image resolution This new photo-shooting feature maximizes the camera’s stills capabilities. In addition to the existing Vertical and Horizontal Pano modes, a new 180 mode stitches 21 individual photos together to capture 180-degree panoramic images. The photo resolution when shooting in ActiveTrack and Gesture Modes has also been improved to capture images at 12-megapixel resolution of 3968×2976 pixels. Other updates The firmware update also improves the overall performance of Spark, including better responsiveness to input from the remote controller, enhanced connectivity between the aircraft and remote controller, and flight logging for the Intelligent Battery system. Firmware Installation To take advantage of these new features, users must download and install the latest firmware on their drone and remote controller, which also updates the firmware on the Intelligent Battery system. Users must also download and use the latest DJI GO 4 mobile app, available for Android and iOS devices. To make life a little easier, take a look at the video below to make sure you install the firmware correctly. (DJI SPARK DOWNLOAD PAGE). Are you a DJI Spark user? Are there any other features you would like to see in your DJI Spark? Please let us know in the comments below.

As a professional filmmaker and DJI Mavic shooter, Tamás Kiss wanted to test the capabilities of the tiny new DJI Spark drone, so he took it to the challenging Icelandic climate to put it through its paces. Here’s his DJI Spark Review, that confirms a lot of the observations I made during my hands-on session with the tiny new drone. – Introduction by Sebastian Wöber. DJI Spark photo by Sebastian Wöber DJI Spark Review It turned out that Iceland was the perfect test journey for the Spark. I had the opportunity to test it under heavy circumstances that really managed to put the little drone through its paces. The DJI Spark is a very nice toy for hobby use. Family parties, barbecues or children’s birthdays can be creatively documented with it and that’s how DJI advertisers it. But can it work for professionals as well? Let’s find out! Size DJI Spark photo by Sebastian Wöber This is clearly the main feature of the Spark. It’s incredibly compact, and it will fit in any rucksack. However, since its arms are non-folding, it’s actually not that much smaller than the DJI Mavic. Nevertheless, it is still unbelievably handy, light and very easy to transport.   Steering Because I didn’t have a dedicated Spark controller, I’m not able to submit a full-featured report in this DJI Spark Review. I just steered it with my mobile phone and with body gestures. It would have been easier if the Spark was compatible with the Mavic controller, but unfortunately I believe the spark uses a different transmission protocol. That said, steering with my mobile phone was very easy. You don’t need to be a drone expert to get the steering under control. DJI Spark photo by Sebastian Comment by Sebastian Wöber: In my own hands-on test I was able to use the DJI Spark controller. It makes steering the Spark easier and much more ergonomic. Also it enables sports mode, which lets you fly the Spark several times faster than in smartphone mode. Admittedly, when only used with a smartphone, the top speed of this drone is very limited, as you can see in Tamas’ review video. DJI Spark photo by Sebastian Just like the Mavic, the Spark has a number of safety systems, which makes it very easy to fly. However, if you want to steer the drone you have to connect your phone to it, which I must say proved to be quite challenging. The drone had quite a few problems connecting to my phone. The screen of the DJI app turned black and an error report kept telling me that I was using Wi-Fi abroad and that I should connect again. This happened every time I started the app, but after three or four tries it finally worked. This might be firmware related or a fault on my phone. In any case, I’m certain the dedicated remote would have been a more convenient option. As a professional, I think if you go for the Spark, the remote should definitely be part of the package. Stability Unfortunately, coming from a DJI Mavic, the flight behavior of the DJI Spark wasn’t satisfying. The Icelandic wind made it very hard to achieve stable shots with the Spark and its tiny propellers. Steering was difficult and sometimes downright impossible because the wind literally blew the drone away. Precisely because of that strong wind, the Spark had to fight a brave little fight, which meant its battery went flat after just 10 minutes. I wanted to try flying through small aisles because the Spark was the only drone that could fit through the tiny gates, but the wind made it very hard to manage this manoeuvre. After several tries, the Spark was finally able to record but very soon I realised that the material wasn’t usable because of the movements of the drone which had to fight against the wind. Also, apparently, the gimbal isn’t able to compensate the movement caused by strong winds as it only has 2-axis stabilization, unlike the DJI Mavic’s 3-axis gimbal, which can also counterbalance sideways movements. DJI Spark photo by Sebastian Camera The picture is very nice for beginner use and even more so for HD resolution. It is comparable to a mobile phone camera. Because you’re not able to use ND-filters, however, it isn’t easy to get a cinematic look. To compensate for exposure, the drone raises the shutter speed beyond measure, which makes possibility of a smooth cinematic look difficult and has to be achieved in post-production as per Sebastian’s drone footage tutorial. This is another aspect that makes it unsuitable for professional use. However note, that I think the drone does deliver rich colors and a great focal length.  DJI Spark photo by Sebastian Which brings me back to “fun and games”. You are able to steer the DJI Spark without a controller or mobile phone, making it really fun to control the drone via facial recognition and hand gestures. Simply press the start button twice and place the drone on your palm towards your face. After a few seconds, the Spark takes off and locks onto your face. Unfortunately, during my test this also went wrong. Upon takeoff, the drone was unable to manage the wind so it proceeded to fall on my hand, causing the propellers to drill into my thumb. Ouch! DJI Spark photo by Sebastian As soon as it made its way up into the air, however, all I had to do was place my palm towards the camera, which clearly caused the drone to recognise it. Steering the Spark with my hand went reasonably well and the system is simple – when you start to wave towards the camera it’s supposed to rise, move it back and it starts to follow you. This took several attempts and it seems the feature is not very reliable and needs some work. You can wave and wave before anything happens, a problem that supposedly lies on the uv recognition system, as strong sunshine interferes with it. DJI Spark Review Conclusion Although the beautiful pictures stood out, overall I must wrap up this DJI Spark Review by saying that, for me, the Spark failed the Iceland test. It seems that the DJI Spark is prone to wind and will not produce the kind of stable smooth shots the DJI Mavic can. It is much weaker and doesn’t offer the same set of professional features like log recording, 3-axis stabilisation, longer battery life and ND filters.  So as a professional I wouldn’t take the Spark with me for another journey – for me it’s too vulnerable to wind and weather and even though on paper it seems to offer almost the same features as the Mavic, in reality, the DJI Mavic is a different beast alltogether. So my recommendation if you’re on a job and need a reliable, small drone, go for the Mavic. DJI Spark – Pros and Cons Pro’s Small and easy to transport Easy to handle Easy to charge Fun to use the body gesture features Con’s Connection to Wi-Fi is very unstable. The dedicated remote is recommended No ND filters Vulnerable to wind and weather Very sensitive gimbal, 3rd axis is missing to make shoots really smooth. Facial recognition and gesture features aren’t reliable and not intended for professional use Battery runs empty quickly when wind gets stronger We value your observations and opinion.

EDIT: DJI Spark drone was launched. Read all about it here: LINK On May 24th, DJI will hold a VIP event in New York releasing a new mini drone. With a brand-new promotional video out and about, it is for certain that we will see something along the lines of a DJI Mavic “mini-me”. DJI have been keeping the pressure on in the drone market. After a tumultuous start, GoPro are back on sale with GoPro Karma, so the market for “put your drone in a backpack and off you go” is becoming more populated with a huge audience on the other end. With the recent release of the DJI Phantom 4 Advanced at NAB just a few weeks ago, they obviously had a top secret plan up their sleeves to woe us all. Have a look at their promotional video below and gaze in awe how a drone can fly easily through canyons and through a library. As the saying goes “size doesn’t matter”, and the new mini drone – called “DJI Spark” according to several rumor sites – will surely live up to that. Based on what we have learned, this drone will be the mini-me counterpart to DJI Mavic. One of the titles that come up in their promotional video stood out of all of them. The word “Size” transforms into “Seize” and continues into “seize the moment”. “S(e)ize the moment” – May 24th Promotional Video Based on the video DJI have released, the new mini drone seems to fit in a small backpack or purse. It therefore must be an incredibly small drone that can fly through caves, canyons, poles and even indoors through a stack of books in a library. Screenshot of DJI Spark promotional video, showcasing its size when flying through a stack of books in a library Having seen the library shot, I would suspect it to still be fuelled with incredible features that we all know and have come to appreciate from DJI drone products. Coupled with DJI Goggles, this drone will surely create a new field of possibilities for DJI lovers. The DJI event will take place on May 24th 2017. cinema5D has been invited and will keep you up-to-date as we learn more about the new release. Stay tuned. DJI Firmware Update Alert In other news, it seems that unfortunately DJI is forcing a firmware upgrade on their users. DJI will soon introduce a new application activation process for international customers. This new step, to take effect at the end of next week, ensures you will use the correct set of geospatial information and flight functions for your aircraft, as determined by your geographical location and user profile. If this activation process is not performed, the aircraft will not have access to the correct geospatial information and flight functions for that region, and its operations will be restricted if you update the upcoming firmware: Live camera streaming will be disabled, and flight will be limited to a 50-meter (164-foot) radius up to 30 meters (98 feet) high.

The DJI Mavic Pro drone is a great product straight out of the box, and is even capable of carrying some extra payload. With this custom DJI Mavic Pro 3D printed camera mount, you can rig up the drone with additional devices, such as 360 cameras, a smartphone with a thermal camera or lights. DJi Mavic Pro equipped with two Samsung Gear 360 2017 cameras. Photo credit: Jean-Marie Cannie Belgium-based hobby videographer and drone enthusiast Jean-Marie Cannie has designed a 3D printed custom camera mounts for the DJI Mavic Pro drone. Right now there are two type of mounts available: a lower one to fit the belly of the Mavic, and an upper mount to be used on Mavic’s back. Flying thermal camera. Photo credit: Jean-Marie Cannie   Using the DJI Mavic Pro 3D Printed Camera Mount One great example of using these mounts is to create a flying 360 camera with the Mavic Pro. By using one 360 camera mounted on top and one on the bottom of the drone, you can create the illusion of a flying 360 camera by cropping the Mavic out of the picture, though stitching both images will need a bit of effort to make it look good. Here is a test video of that setup from the mount creator himself: Another cool example is rigging up the Mavic with a smartphone equipped with the Flir One thermal camera. The result is a cheap flying thermal camera, which can have many cool practical uses and extends the usability of the thermal camera itself. Here is a short test video: There are more possible uses of the mounts, such as mounting other lightweight action cameras. The setup has already been tested with GoPro 5 Session and, according to the designer, the Hero5 should work too. Personally, though, I don’t think mounting a GoPro on a Mavic makes much sense as it is not so much better than the Mavic’s own camera. Mounting an LED light underneath or on the Mavic could also be a good idea. But you may ask yourself, how well does the Mavic Pro handle all that extra weight? The increased payload causes no problems while flying, it just drains the battery a little quicker. The mount designer performed tests to compare flight times with the different setups, and here are the results: Mavic Pro itself (799 g / 28.18 oz) – flight time 25:40 minutes Mavic Pro with one Samsung Gear 360 camera attached (932 g / 32.88 oz) – flight time 17:42 minutes Mavic Pro with two Samsung Gear 360 cameras attached (1.125 g / 39.68 oz) – flight time 13:03 minutes Here is the test video: How and where to get the mounts? All versions of the DJI Mavic Pro 3D printed camera mount are available on Jean-Marie’s Shapeways E-shop for prices ranging from $20 to $30. A design is also available for free on Jean-Marie’s Thingiverse page. It is an older version of the belly mount for the DJI Mavic Pro, which does not allow for the bottom sensors to be turned on. However, it is there and can be downloaded for free. It just requires a 3D printer, obviously. According to the designer, all his mounts will eventually end up on Thingiverse to be available for download, although it is not yet clear when. Do you find the custom mounts for the Mavic Pro useful? What would you like to mount on your Mavic? Let us know in the comments!

HOT OFF THE PRESS: DJI has just announced a new drone! The DJI Phantom 4 Advanced brings incredible upgrades to their mid-level drone series, such as 4K at 60fps, a mechanical shutter, and an all-new screen built into the controller. Here are the specifics in detail. DJI is like a gift that keeps on coming. It is difficult to keep up with them, as new drones seem to pop out of nowhere. However, it’s likely you won’t be disappointed with what the new DJI Phantom 4 Advanced has to offer. Mainly an update to the existing DJI Phantom 4 base model, it shares some of the features found in the DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone. DJI Phantom 4 Advanced – Camera The new DJI Phantom 4 Advanced model has a 1-inch, 20-megapixel sensor and a mechanical shutter. This upgraded camera is capable of shooting H.264 4K video at 60 frames per second, as well as supporting H.265 4K at 30fps, both with a 100Mbps bitrate. DJI claim that the improvements in optical performance, sensors and processors ensure a higher dynamic range and more image detail. Flight Modes and Sensors As with the DJI Phantom 4 Pro, the Advanced comes with many key intelligent features that allow smooth automatic flight modes. These include Draw, ActiveTrack, TapFly, Gesture and Tripod modes. The Phantom 4 Advanced is also equipped with the FlightAutonomy system, which is made up of five vision sensors, a forward-facing obstacle avoidance system, dual-band satellite positioning (GPS and GLONASS), and ultrasonic rangefinders. This allows the DJI Phantom 4 Advanced to hover precisely in places without GPS and to fly in complex environments. Built-In Screen and More The DJI Phantom 4 Advanced also allows for more storage capacity using a 128GB microSD card. The flight time has also been extended to up to 30 minutes. For a slight increase in price from the regular Advanced model, the Phantom 4 Advanced+ version offers a 5.5-inch 1080p screen integrated into the controller. The built-in display device is based on an Android system with 4 GB RAM and, according to DJI, the screen is twice as bright as conventional smart devices. According to DJI, the introduction of the Phantom 4 Advanced means that as of 30th April 2017 the Phantom 4 model will no longer be available. However, DJI will continue to provide after-sales support to Phantom 4 customers.
