The same area?
It would not have been possible for me to film a human paraglider, on max zoom, for 4 minutes, keeping them in the picture frame for most of the time, as I did.
You also should study how human paragliders operate, if they catch a thermal they rise in altitude, they spiral upward, after 4 minutes of ascending in a spiral, they might rise 2,000 feet, and in that case, even if I was skilled enough to track such flight on film, from the ground, which I wasn’t, they would appear smaller and smaller on camera, and not the same size for 4 minutes straight.
