Manly is an iconic beach suburb of Sydney and a short ferry ride from the Sydney CBD.  Aptly described by the locals as "seven miles from Sydney and a thousand miles from care".


Aerial footage includes Sydney Harbour, Manly Wharf, Quarantine Station, North Head, Cabbage Tree Bay, Shelly Beach, Manly Beach, Fairlight and Balgowlah.  Filmed with DJI Mavic Air 2 (plus other/unknown drones).  Correct corrected using The Film Poets (Skygrades Collection) LUTS.

Fantastic footage

Cool shots. Love the birds!

Excellent footage

Thanks Stephen, I appreciate your kind words.

Full to credit to DJI too for making these drones so easy to fly and film with. I had no experience with drones until three months ago, when I bought my Mavic Air 2.  Such a cool little drone!

Nicely done

I’m stoked to say that this video reached 10,000 views on YouTube this week.

Apologies everyone.  My post has been shortened and for some reason my forum handle has changed.  FORUM ADMINS, can you please delete this post and I’ll try again from my proper account?

I’m stoked to say that my video has reached 10,000 views on YouTube this week.  I am however not converting those views into YouTube Subscribers, which is a little disheartening.

I realise that I only have one (this) video, so far.  However I was hoping more people would Subscribe based on the quality of my video, hoping to see my future videos.

Does anyone know if I am doing the right actions to gain YouTube subscribers?  Clearly I need to create more high quality videos to increase my subscribers, but that aside.

Very nice work!

Very nice work!

Cheers!  I just need to start working a little faster.  One release a year is too slow

Great footage.

I’d like to start filming another video now, but Sydney is in lockdown.  Maybe in a couple months
