Aerial video at Double Devils Corrals, Modoc County, California

Capture

One day on site that produced 269 clips, the largest single-day clip count in the archive, alongside 12 aerial stills. Flown oblique and overhead around the corrals and the approach.

Flown with a DJI Phantom 4 Pro (FC6310, 1-inch 20 MP RGB, 8.8 mm lens), firmware v01.07.1641 – the same airframe used on every company flight in the archive. Video at 4096 × 2160 and 59.94 fps; stills at 5472 × 3078. Flying was oblique and hand-flown around working stock instead of on a grid, with the pilot in command keeping the aircraft clear of the animals and the crew throughout. Conditions were daylight VFR with low wind and good visibility, on the operator’s record; the archive holds no weather log.

Deliverables

One edited aerial reel of 2 min 42 s at 1344 × 720, plus a shorter presentation cut and 10 stills. 48 files were delivered in total, as MP4 (H.264), PNG and JPG.

Cadence

One day on site, two days before a second California trap site was filmed nearby. Both fell inside a run of seven gathers for this operator.

Method boundary

This is aerial video and still photography for documentation and presentation. It is not mapping. The footage is not georeferenced beyond the aircraft's own position tags, nothing is measured from it, and no accuracy is claimed. Where a scaled site record was needed on these contracts, a separate mapping flight was flown. Anything requiring measured positions or professional responsibility is routed through a licensed Professional Land Surveyor.
