ReubenMRU's video: 2022-06-15 - Rainbow in Beau Bassin - Mauritius - ReubsVision Mu

It's always challenging to capture rainbows with a drone... Out of 10 tries may be just one or two result in a usable capture... . You see due to the ephemeral nature of the rainbow, you need to have quick reaction times, if you see it, you need to immediately stop what you're doing and get the drone in the air... if you're driving and you're thinking I'll stop at the next lay by, forget it, you're going to be out of the visibility zone... . It's either that, or the rain will reach you, and you won't be able to take off as your drone is not waterproof... or the sun will be obscured by clouds and the rainbow will fade... either way, you missed your chance... . Many a time have I seen a beautiful bright colourful rainbow and by the time I've run to get the drone and set it up, it's literally gone before I can take off... and there are also times when I do manage to get it up in the air, like yesterday, in Beau Bassin for example, I was explaining to my cuz how risky the attempt was as the rain might catch on to us... and this is exactly what happened, as soon as the drone was up, the rain was upon us, and all I could do was aim it quickly at the rainbow and bring it down promptly, covered in water droplets that you have to dry immediately in the car... . A major risk for the drone, but when you see the resulting footage, here slowed down by 50%, you know it was well worth the risk... .
