Clarinda, Iowa Christmas Parade 2023 | Aerial Footage

During the 31st Annual Clarinda Christmas Parade, I decided to dabble in some night drone videography. Using a GoPro Hero 12 Black camera mounted on top of a DJI Avata FPV drone I experimented with the settings in the GoPro camera. This is the final result of that flight. There is much room for improvement, but the possibilities are endless with this camera.

For best viewing adjust your YouTube settings for 4K or 1080P. This video has audio, but you will probably want to turn it way down, as the sound of the drone is irritating. I left the audio on this clip because you can hear the sirens and horns from the fire apparatus in the parade.
