My first flight with the Mavic, on a family trip to the wall, more precisely on the Mutianyu section.

Any recomendation and suggestion, will be highly appreciated.
Cheers!

Great stuff mate! I'll be honest, I had a look to see just how legal what you were doing was. I'm by no means an expert but it looks like you were in the clear! One thing I'd recommend is to look in to editing and grading your footage, it's difficult but there are tutorials and LUTs (filters) available to make it easier for you, it's usually what separates washed out footage from gorgeous cinematic views.

AACY, Wow that was Awesome you picked a beautiful day to film also !!!

Thank you very much for your feedback! Yes I was legally flying in that area of the wall, you are about an hour and a half from the NFZ of Beijing. Also prior flying, I informed the guards about my intentions and provide my license number, they had no issue. Since I am registered under the CAAC (China's FAA) which gives me a bit of leverage, so people know that I can be traced down if something happens.  

Sure thing I will be looking and start practicing more with editing and grading. Now I realize that I didn't shoot with the best settings for grading.

Thanks again for your advice!

Thanks a lot! Indeed was a great day at the wall.

If anyone comes here and decides to visit defenetly this is one of the best places to go, and they have a really nice slide to go down.

Cheers!

It's a very nice experience, try to come during late spring or autumn. This was during the end of winter a bit cold -12C. Also, much more colors from the trees.

Cheers!

Good job ACCY, lovely video..

Nice, Now I will spend a couple hr googling the great wall. ha-ha

Nice video. I would try the "follow me" mode.

Very cool. I just told my brother yesterday we need to go back to China and make some videos.
