Okay, lock the drone at a 45‑degree angle, forward of the boarder, keep the gimbal steady, then time the launch with a countdown—five, four, three, jump, and capture. Keep the lens slightly tilted down to catch that splash, and if you’re feeling reckless, add a slight spin to the drone right after takeoff for that insane slow‑motion frame. Adjust on the fly, but don’t waste seconds; the perfect shot is in the split second before the board hits the ground.

DJI Mavic 3 on a 3‑axis gimbal, 4K at 120fps, GoPro HERO11 on the front of the drone with a 1‑inch sensor and a 35‑mm fisheye for that over‑the‑top splash, battery packs, quick‑swap mounts, and a handheld gimbal for the last seconds—don’t forget a quick flick of the controller to spin the drone at 270° right after the board jumps. The key is keeping the camera steady until the moment of impact, then letting the fisheye catch that hyper‑bright splash and freeze it in 4K. Speed is everything, and if you’re feeling reckless, throw in a low‑altitude barrel roll just as the board lands for that insane POV.

Got it, the drone’s right on the edge, feeling that rush—keeps me on my toes. Just dropped the clip after the board hits; it’s got that hyper‑splash and the barrel roll freeze‑frame. Hit play and let the colors pop.
