Plane Spotting at LAX - Trip Report - Nikon P1000 

Thanks for the feedback! I'm always on the lookout for the Kalitta Ait 747s. They've been flying north of my area lately, but I'll post a video of the next one that I see!

I Agree, it's a great camera for plane spotting!

@@OneLensTwo I'm going to get one for my birthday soon, very excited! It sure is a legendary camera for plane spotting. But the bad thing is that I don't live in LA anymore, and I'm too young to travel

That's great that you're going to get a P1000! I also enjoy zooming in on planes at cruising altitude which you can do from almost anywhere.

Thanks! Flying on a 747 is on my bucket list. I kind of don't care where it goes - I'd be happy just be on the aircraft!

outstanding & you are correct outstanding vid as well :

Thanks - it's great to hear that a fellow plane spotter enjoyed this video!

And you showed me the power of the P1000, including contrail sightings….

indeed :

Thank you! Your planespotting is awesome too!

Thanks Voando Alto! The P1000 lets you frame a great shot of airplanes or anything else no matter how far away it is!

Hello and thanks for the feedback! It was pretty dark and cloudy that day, so I think I made some adjustments to the video in post-production. Brightness and sharpness I think.

Thanks!@@OneLensTwo

I agree, Plane Dude! I think that was before Airline Videos Live started the behind the scenes view, so it was fun to see their setup when I was there that day.

Thanks! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

I think I lightened the video a little in post as it was a cloudy day and I also tend to stabilize video clips in post. As for which camera is better... other than focal length, that's a whole other video of pros and cons :)

@@OneLensTwo Thank You for advance.. try to get this camera

Thanks and I really appreciate the encouragement to keep creating!

Thank you, jade black. I will try my best!

@@OneLensTwo i know you will :

Thanks, I really appreciate the feedback!

second that :

Thanks, Plane Mania! Agreed, 747s are the best!

Thanks, Aatif G.! I checked my pictures from that day and unfortunately I didn't find anything. I post lots of pictures in the articles that I write on my website, but it looks like I was shooting mostly video that day.

@@OneLensTwo not particularly that day but anytime, I just want to see the still photography results of this camera. Also can I ask for your website URL? Thanks

My website is 1lens2.com. You can click on some of the pictures in the articles to see a full size view. There are some video captures, but I tend to call those out.

l have not measured how long I can record on a single battery, but it seems to be as long as other cameras that I have used. But it really depends on how much zooming you do. Lots of zooming through the huge 25mm to 3000mm focal length range will eat up batteries fast.

@@OneLensTwo thats good to know thanks bud

BTW, I found the video recording time in the operating manual. It's 1 hour and 20 minutes when using the battery that comes with the camera. But I expect that zooming a lot will cut that down.

@@OneLensTwo nice find bud thanks for the info. I'm always reluctant to use the rx for filming due to battery life

Oh wow, that's cool! I do like spotting those Kalitta Air 747s.
