Thank you for such a thorough guide for the pandas, appreciate the tips and effort to get an idea of different times of day! (Also, the audio is perfect now too, thank you 😁).
We are finally here, it’s incredibly hard to get the footage above the glass… I know you said you use a gimbal, but that must be a luck thing,..so awesome….i am not a videographer, just stills…unless you’re 10feet tall, very hard to get the footage you got
I finally got a chance to see them. The glass is pretty terrible. It almost seems more reflective than other glass in the zoo. When I went at 2pm it was rather impossible to see the Panda due to the glare and reflection. They also need to build some standby capacity into each hour. Just letting standby people in when timed tickets do not show was causing quite a bit of upset guests. Especially if you wait that long and can barely see them. If the exhibit has X capacity per hour 60% of it should be given out in tickets and the other 40% dedicated to standby. That way people who don’t get tickets still have more of a shot. Hopefully they smooth the process out.
From what I understand, the glass has a layer of film on it to make it easier to clean or remove any form of vandalism that may happen as unlikely or unfortunate that may be. The standby line is abysmal until around 3pm when timed tickets are no longer available.
There is no indoor habitat space that the pandas have access to outside of their off habitat spaces. They have two spacious yards and the weather is perfect year round for them to be housed outdoors.
That makes sense given that the weather in San Diego is temperate & beautiful year round. I appreciate your footage of the Pandas, the Zoo hasn’t brought back their Panda Cam (not sure if that’s something they’re planning on doing again?) I have to travel from afar to see them so any current pic’s/videos are greatly welcomed .. hoping you provide more glimpses of 🐼YC & XB 🐼 for your viewers!
Thank you for sharing 🥰

It does loop back at the end so I was able to hold up my phone to get the above glass shots.

Great tips thanks! 🐼 Have you tried a polarizing filter?
I have not, all of the panda footage was shot from my phone.
I would be interested to know where you were shooting from when you were able to get above the glass.
At the end of the path it doubles back at a slightly higher elevation. I just held my phone up high to get those shots.
@@rjb_wildlife Thank You so if I use a monopod with a gimble and camera controlled by my phone I should be good
I’m wondering if there’s any viewing of the Pandas in their indoor habitats or is all public viewing of them in their outdoor yards?

@@carolinebrady-yo9he they are planning on bringing back Panda Cam, they are just figuring out where they want to set the cameras.
I’m so glad to hear that the Panda Cam will be returning .. that just made my day!
