- I'll tell you it was worth it, though. - Definitely worth it.

We're on top of the Marina Bay Sands hotel in Singapore.

Believe it or not, we're not just here on holiday,

'Cause it has one of the highest rates of lightning strikes

And it's currently in November at the time we're recording this.

Which is the most active month for lightning strikes.

It should be a very interesting subject to film.

It's incredibly fast, incredibly unpredictable.

Also very dangerous. Which makes you wonder why we're on the roof.

Yeah, well, thankfully, there's no storm in currently,

but why don't we set up the Phantom in a nice, safe location

And we can usually record what, like four seconds with the--

This will record almost eight at 28,500 frames a second,

but we're gonna be running this slightly differently to how we usually shoot.

In that, I'm gonna firstly partition the round into multiple segments.

And I'm also gonna use a feature called Image Based Auto-Trigger.

is we typically only use one partition in the memory.

This capacity allows us to record for almost eight seconds.

And because of the duration of a lightning strike you don't need eight seconds.

if we say get eight different partitions.

Giving us a round a second for each capture.

So what I've done is I've set this little area, this little box.

And then I can set how often it checks and the sensitivity

And then I can position this box wherever,

That way anything down here, you know, people taking pictures

or anything like that shouldn't affect it.

But if lightning comes down through the top

automatically save that point nine seconds into the mag,

So you're saying that if it sees lightning it'll save it

Immediately triggered and then stopped and it's recording again.

It went in a solid circle and then it started recording again.

So it went one and then when I turned it off it went another one.

And you can see now it's immediately recording into the mag.

When you did it it went two, three like that.

So now what we need to do is wait for it to become nighttime

and it should capture and save automatically

But wait if it does everything automatically,

- We're the opposite. - We were so well set up in   there.
