I never really do footage looking down at all flying for fun (at all, ever) but this one time I did and look at the girl waving at the camera lol

around 0:21

Hello there AntDX316. Good day and thank you for posting this wonderful footage you have filmed using your DJI Mini 2. Nicely done and have a nice day. .

I hope you know her.

The abrupt movements really kill the video.

It's an incongruous piece of junk.
Why did he bother to post it at all?
Probably got excited to think the woman was waving at him?

  

The footage is amazing, but you can make it better by reducing the speed of the gimbal movement (I keep forgetting what its called when the gimbal moves up and down - is it pitch, yaw or what?)

Same here, you shouldn't be posting without permission

Your video is beautiful. It just needs a little more composure. There are many cinematic tutorials on Youtube that are great. Just a few things that have helped me. Search for "advanced gimbal settings" tutorial, Also video in "Cine mode", this slows every movement. One of the best tips is to plan your video in advance.  

I didn't know anyone would wave or them being there already, it wasn't supposed to be a "movie".  I was just wandering for fun.  Everything was completely accidental.  99.9% of the footage I was doing over 3 batteries were looking forward.  I was in Normal mode.  Next time I will try to make a "movie" looking down but I gave up making "movies" because no one really watches anymore and it takes a lot of work, but according to these comments it's inspiring to do it again.

Come on people... This is a public beach, and she probably couldn't make out her own face on that video.

Top down shots are cool!

Indeed but only if you make sure it's 100% clear where you are flying.  It's also hard to tell what is coming up in the future unless you have some sort of visual ground refence to follow lol

Hope you know her?  Here in the states, you do NOT need what they call a "Models Release," IF it is in the public view, however it is a
good rule of thumb to blur it somewhat, just to play it safe, and keep the not so nice folks away.    I just recorded a video of a fellow flying
his Helicopter a little ways away from my Mini-2, and IF he is a member of the same club as me, I am going to copy it to DVD and give it to him.
But, if I post it here it will be blurred.  He did not realize I was recording as he flew his helicopter.

I think that is always the case!

That's why the Inspire 2 people have 2 cameras but they have yet to update that.

Yeah. I just look around with the drone before starting my top down recording.

It should be in the holiday video that I yet have to edit.

Well that's true...

Yeah, especially is you don't have side sensors

That's a good practise to have!

Well, without mistakes, you can never hope to learn anything new!

You still haven't learned not to spam the forum with lots of pointless nothing posts, have you?

Better to learn the soft way

Well thats true

Alvara74 Posted at 8-12 00:12

Whats's true is that you are just a spamming tosser.

oh yes, this is how I learn and it sucks All the time.  It would be nice if there was a way to Always learn from other people's mistakes like we've learned it the hard way too and survived w/o retaining issues.

That's why you should always keep an eye on your drone! You can't learn everything

I used to be epic good at flying in 3rd person with DIY drones especially when the feed just went all black and I was doing a maneuver.  Now, if I were to do it again I don't think I can.
