Hi all,

Sharing some videos clips of a beautiful and relaxing weekend away with my gf.
Over the 1st mountain from us is the Little Karroo. A 3 hr drive through beautiful country side and mountain passes - it is like a semi desert area - sparcely vegetated, exquisite scenery, big open spaces and great condition dirt roads to explore.
Over the next mountain from there is the great karroo - even more sparecely vegetated, bigger open spaces, longer dirt roads and although more desolate, the views are equally beautiful.
Below are 3 clips from my weekend showing of the cute little town we stayed in and some beautiful local scenery.
The first 2 clips contains footage of close call wipe outs by over head electric lines - but survived both (thanks my lucky stars :-)

Cool footage!

Hello and good day. These video are beautiful. Thank you for sharing and for your support.

I am also glad you didn't wipe out.

The last video is great! Still, I am noting a bit of choppyness, can you share a bit more around the details of the footage, like fps, quality, and if any other editing software is used (apart from DJI app).

hi elberti - yes i noticed the choppiness too - it does not appear on my sd card or on my phone - also the complete clip on my phone plays smootly... only after loaded to you tube did it become choppy.

To be honest i do not know why that is the case.

I was shooting in 2.7k at 30fps with a mavic pro. My editing was done on the dji app.

i think the reason for the chopiness could be related to a combination of facts: 1, i always fly in sport mode and 2 when editing i often speed up longer clip sections to get as much scenery in as possible.

During flight in sport mode (when not flying super smooth) then every turn gets a slight jerk - when this is then sped up the jerks get closer together causing the appearance of choppiness -

Really good editing takes me too long and consequently i do not make as many memory clips as i might like - therefore i edit on dji app only - my personal attitude to editing is rather and inferior clip than none at all.

Oooops.
That was very close.
Too close for comfort if you ask me....
Good thing you did not crash.

Well... you have great videos and if I were you, I would go for better quality than speed on flying. Note this might also be related to the app or to the speeding of the videos -- this is why I am not using DJI 4 for editing and procure not to speed up any.

Good luck!

at that tie my gf had my goggles on and the view in my phone is not so good.

Only saw it during editing - thankfully for that - was thinking about you at the train station - sorry no trains :-)

No problem man!
I am just glad you managed to stay away from the high power lines!
Trains will come next time!

Very nice footage
