Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden. Got my Mavic Mini in November 2019. Bad weather with cloudy dark skies for several weeks made me wait and prepare.

In the first week of December, snow fell and stayed for 3 days. During one of those days, I worked from home.


First part is shot during morning hours.
Second shot are taken during late afternoon.

Sweden in December, the sun is up around 6 hours during a sunny day.


After these three days, we got booooring weather back and kind of still has that weather since.
No snow what so ever, except for when I did #MyFirstFlight. That made me happy to capture that.

-2 celsius in the morning, -8 in the afternoon.


I forgot my gloves during the afternoon flight. They say pain is needed to create great art. If so, this video clip is amazing!


Since this was my first try to make a video clip I used "slow speed" settings flying the drone, Cinema setting. That means 4 m/s as top speed. Working on the clips in post production it became clear that all viewers would fall a sleep after 30 seconds using that tempo.   So I speed things up a bit in most of the clip.


That is the reason you are watching people and cars walking and driving very fast. Fear not, it was not Christmas holidays that put pressure and stress on those people, nor did we moved back to Charlie Chaplin era. It is just 8x speed increase in post production to make the clip hopefully watchable.


It's #amazing what a 249 gram drone can manage this kind of quality images and stay up for more than 25 minutes.


This was a good first try don't you think?


Images and video was taken outside Stockholm, Täby. In Arninge, Ullna.

thank you! I tried, but failed.

Remove the dot between the youtu.be and it should work

Here it is with preview.
You just have to post a 'normal' youtube link (youtube.com instead of youtu.be)

You have some great views.
One small tip is to avoid fast pans.
(like the one starting on 1:04)

You're welcome!
Hope to see much more from Sweden
It will take some time before we visit again.
Hopefully this summer, if all goes well.

Nicely done,  I like your edit.

Wow.
I love the video.
Did the cold have any effect on the battery?

Yes, a few min less fly time on each battery.

Thanks for sharing.
