Your movie is INCREDIBLE. No words for how beautiful Iceland is. Will you be my personal tour guide?! Amazing job thanks!

Thanks mate! I've been there the first time so there's so much more to explore up there! I literally fell in love with that country, so I guess I'll have to fly there again soon. Just be aware: going to dinner is freaking expensive in Iceland, so if you're traveling on a budget airbnb / camping and cooking is the best option!

Cheers

this is fantastic...what camera settings did you use and how did you ensure continual focus and nail the exposure settings?  What tools did you use for post production (edit/grading)?
lack of tap exposure set on the mavic and contantly worrying about focus (after having some captured blurry footage this is soemthing you constantly worry about.

Thanks mate! I recorded in 2.7k & 30 fps with different picture styles as I was just trying to find the best option. While filming / flying I tried to have the subject / scenery in a similar distance to ensure focus. Sometimes that worked good, sometimes it didn't turn out as I've hoped. As I said this were my first real flights with the mavic so I'm still learning! Same goes for the exposure settings - the Mavic's auto exposure did a good job but I've also looked at the histogram just to be sure.The whole editing / grading was done in Premier Pro (3way color corrector, fast color corrector & contrast).

Capturing footage just to find out it's blurry afterwards is the worst though..

Awesome video.   How cold was it when you recorded the glacier?

Thanks! It was about -5 °C so not too cold. But I've just recently flew the Mavic in -15° and it was performing good!

Great video! What did you use to do the tracked title and what tool / how did you do the grading? Thank you for sharing.

Thanks - I've done the tracking within After Effects. For grading I used Premier Pro and just applied a basic grading (3way color corrector, fast color corrector and contrast)

Cheers

As a lot of you guys had questions on color grading - this is what I started with:


Hope this helps

WOW! I want to go to Iceland and I want to buy a Mavic. NOW!

Great Shots!

hehe I recognize this song! music bed? ;)

Great footage, which programme did you use for video editing?

well, i love these photos. it reminds me of some days on my first trip to Janpan.
at that time, i forgot my camera at home, so i took some pictures by phone, of course i was so satisfied with them but i still had some beautiful pictures, actually.
p/s: i use an app called toolwiz photo pro editors. you can consult it as good app for editing photos.
