Just noticed this post, Ka Bobby. Looks like your combo's AF is a killer... these critters are tough to lock focus on!
You even captured their private moments in the air, hehehe.
BTW, here's how these guys look up close:

Wowowiks, Ka Mastah! That is an excellent video with fine detail - what lens and camera combo did you use for that? The pull focus was fast and sure, too! Ver well done!

Thanks, Ka Bobby. That was filmed with a Sony RX10 M4, which performs better than DSLRs at macro and BIF videos. For BIF stills, I continue to prefer DSLRs primarily because of the brighter viewfinder with instantaneous feedback. The EVF of mirrorless cameras has a slight delay, and this makes BIF shooting tougher. Also, EVF presents the image with the aperture stopped down (when not shooting wide open), resulting into a darker view. An optical VF always presents the image at wide open aperture, stopping down only at the moment of capture.
Here's my attempt at filming dragons in flight:

Again, that video clip is very well executed. It seems the AF of the Sony can catch up and lock-in on the intended subject fast, too! Thanks for sharing it Ka Mastah!
