National Geographics level of quality!
For those of you asking about the GoPro lens distortion: I use the CC Lens effect in After Effects to remove it. You have to tweak the settings a bit, but it's pretty easy.
which CC lens effect are you using exactly?..under distort ? Beautiful flying and framing btw ;)
One word comes to mind when experiencing this video, "Majestic".
WOW!! Absolutely beautiful!!! Both the video & the music, thank you!!
The era of drone aircraft to do train watching has arrived. This is one of many very good ones.
You, Sir.....are a freaking genius! Beautiful shots of a beautiful railroad! If you made a longer version I would not be disappointed!
Great video. Different perspective on trains. Want more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is absolutely astounding. The beauty of the train and the scenery are captured wonderfully by the cinematography and the music. As a railroader, I greatly approve of this use of remote control tech.
Holy hell, YES, as some one in the steam locomotive industry, you captured this beautifully. Amazing job!
I just happened to have taken this train 2 days after you apparently filmed this. The views from the train are stunning, but the aerial video you produced of the train itself going through the mountains is outstanding!
Absolutely incredible. I've been to Chama a dozen times and know the railroad very well, but I've never seen it like this. Amazing video!! Excellent choice of music.
Well done Luke on being a worthy winner. It is also nice to see someone who is generous (and patient) in answering the comments, regardless of their merit in some cases!
For the first 30 seconds i thought this video was an animation; the camera pans were flawless
me too
+Mitchell Kargul - Me to. But I thought it was great!
This is hands-down the best video of the competition.
For the first 1 minute I thought it was a film section , thats an amazing footage, high quality artwork.
that was amazing .... went there in 1994 , but it never looked like that...!
thank you...!!! jaw droppingly good..
Fantastic video. This is the first time I have seen video of the train at 10,000 feet around Windy Point. Thanks Luke.
Who on earth can give this thumbs down? One of the most beautiful places on earth, with one of the most captivating machines on earth, with some of the most interesting history--and this video had footage that I've never seen before. VERY cool.
Just superb!...Phenomenal camera work and production quality. As a rail enthusiast and having ridden several times on that route it just max's out the sensation. It truly almost doesn't look real but I know it is. Kudos
Astonishing and other superlative words. I can only imagine the amount of effort that went into creating this beautiful film. I am in awe sir.
What an oustanding video,so smooth and what a location to film in,keep up the good work and thank you for shearing.
I'm absolutely blown away! This is the kind of stuff I dream of doing. Great work!
Absolutely fantastic! Amazing and beautiful footage. Congratulations.
I never thought I'd see the d D&RGW locomotives like this!
Great video! I am loving these videos. I am a new Phantom II owner but a photographer for many years. This is a great addition to my arsenal. Congrats!!!
It is SO SAD that people would thumb down this video simply because a drone was used. Get real people you are PATHETIC. This is nothing but Beautiful video PERIOD. Get off your high horse, drones are not bad, a VERY small amount of people use them badly. Get a new cause, leave our freedoms and enjoyment ALONE! GO pick on a REAL problem. People driving under the influence, now there's something that's dangerous and kills people and anything else in their path. GO PICK on them!
+Richard Shannon - I think that drones have a great future in video making. I can imagine drones being used to video wildlife like we have never seen before, and even movies that will be a lot less expensive than the methods they use now.
Amazing composition! Love it, thanks for the inspiration :)
DRONE ON!!
Oh wow!!! I could watch these trains all day
Gorgeous, spectacular work left me wanting to see much much more Luke! Thank you for sharing your talents with all!!
absolutely stunning work
Awesome. I have been on the train... this adds a whole new perspective to the ride.
Absolutely beautiful!!
Bravo!!
Yes, that's a very similar gimbal for what I was using when this was shot. I did not have any FPV gear at the time, although now I fly with a 5.8ghz downlink and a small monitor and can get much better results.
Great video! I've been on the train twice, and its nice to see it from a different perspective. Good luck in the contest!
Absolutely beautiful
Best video of the competition!
Congrats!
Amazing scenery and footage!
Beautiful countryside and so nostalgic, and nice flying too!
WOW. That is absolutely stunning. Amazing work, sir.
I do use a gimbal, and was flying a simple brushless one from eBay (Martinez board) when this was shot. Since then, DJI has been awesome enough to equip me with a Zenmuse H3-2D, and my hack-job Phantom has been sitting on a shelf ever since. If you can afford it, there's nothing else that even compares.
Great, really great. Thank you!
Congrats on winning the contest!
Very lovely shots Luke!!!
Amazing shots. Thank you.
Beautiful imagery. Magnificent. And the music too. Very fitting.
Amazing shot's, the future of filming has changed forever!
I want a Drone Now!!
Congratulations. Nicely done. Beautiful views!
Spectacular! Music was perfect choice.
This is AWESOME!
Stunningly beautiful man!
Beautiful Video! Stunning!
Veramente veramente COMPLIMENTI..... Stupendo video, sia per i colori, per la risoluzione, per la musica scelta e sopratutto per il soggetto.
BELLISSIMO!!!!

Recently got a DJI myself.. this video motivates me to do something. I only watched this video about 10 times already, great shots, theatrical feel especially the music. Anyone know what the instrumental in the background is?
Fantastic stuff! I'm getting one of these myself to film trains from the air. Were you using a gimbal or anything else to absorb shock when you filmed this?
Just watched your entry! Great photography , good music and love steam trains. Well dobe mate!
Amazing footage!!!
What great shots, lots of potential

Thanks for the video, Bill
