My very first video shot with my Mini 2.
Video was shot in Fortmond a park with among others highland cows and an abandoned brick factory near the river IJssel. Please provide me with tips and tricks, as this is not only my first video, it's also the first time I've flown with a drone

Nice area. My tips: Use short clips, 2 to 5, max 10 seconds, don't pan but circle, don't change direction/gimbal while filming or do it very softly, use hard cuts instead of "fancy" transitions. Maybe color grade a bit or in this case lighten the scenes a bit. The first scene is an interesting and very challenging shot. Nice, but still a bit jerky.

Nicely done.

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to watch and reply!
I see what you mean, will take that into account the next time! Just one question, what do you mean with "done pan but circle"? What would that look like, any chance you could find a clip to illustrate what you mean?

Sorry, I meant "don't pan but circle" (will correct it).
In a pan the drone rotates around itself.
In a circle the drone goes around the subject - and at the same time pans the background. To me that looks much more professional.

Great first try! I can't think of anything to add to Depp's suggestions.

Nice views!

Nice views!

Thanks! And followed you back! Maybe our drones can wave to each other some day while flying near the IJssel ;)

You're welcome and many thanks!
Yeah, would be nice.
I have flown it at the Tolbrug the other day when it was snowy.
If you stay around long enough here you will find the video one day (or just via my channel)
Will take some time to edit, since I have a lot of footage waiting still (and not much time)

Mooie video, my tip, not that big, but don't turn around too quickly.
