Nice find DA.    A couple of good tips by Matthew.

Yes that’s what I thought too.  .

Disappointed, nothing new in this.

Could you please summarize the settings in a few lines of text? I don't want to look at a lengthy video to gather info which can be 100% better and faster presented in text.

Funny, DA.  I watched this yesterday.  I beat you to it.  HeHe

Nice to see a USEFUL video posted from OP instead of the useless MOD videos.

Wow, a whole video dedicated to this.
Must be very important to keep making new content.....
And exactly the reason I'm not after a fulll time metube job.

I thought his technique for dolly zoom was better than others Ive seen,   definitely will need to try that out.   And Ive never had a forced landing so interesting to see that too.

I agree on the dolly zoom. But it took him way too long.....
I know why, they need the view time to keep generating money (youtube only allows for intermediate ads when you have a >10min video and these generate the most income)
The forced landing is something I never experienced myself (and never will if it is up to me).
I will be back on time.

I usually skip through to the good bits.

Same here.
But it does make me wonder why it works like this.
There are very few youtubers that are talking while filming that get my full attention.
But apparently I'm not average, since they keep doing this.

He was better than most and applied chapter marks so I could skip to the bits of interest.    think mostly they want to get to 10 minutes to get mid roll ads.

Yeah that is a must and youtube is really advertising creators to use this feature.
I constantly get 'tips' from their creators page about it.
True.
Plus it helps your video to be promoted by YT algor. if you get more view time.

Ive noticed Youtube is really pushing the adverts more in the last couple of weeks,  probably getting double the amount as usual.

Yeah. And even with youtubers that are not monetized.
(I have noticed this on mine)

Yes,   it doesn't matter what the video is,  its like they turned up the aggressive advertising a notch or two.

100%.
I noticed that too.
Started about 4 weeks ago.

I also liked his technique for dolly zoom.    I will need to practice it several times I'm sure.

I’m waiting for the wind to drop to try it.  In the mean time I have a sink to refinish

What type of sink are you refinishing?  

DowntownRDB Posted at 10-7 03:37
What type of sink are you refinishing?

Just the kitchen sink,  its stainless steel so its getting the treatment.

Ahh, the old clean, scrub, buff out and polish routine.  Or that was the way I did an old stainless steel sink I used years ago at a fish cleaning station.  Found out baking soda and vinegar worked well .  Also, believe it or not, Club Soda can add a shine back.

1. Dolly zoom - Using the function button whilst also using the gimbal wheel to zoom in/out whilst flying in the opposite direction (out/in)
2. Recentre gimbal - Double click on function button
3. Forced landing (when?) - click on the battery indicator icon at the top right of screen.

None of these are 'secrets' as numbers 2 and 3 are described in the manual. As for number 1, it's a good explanation of how the dolly zoom is achieved, but his 'secret' of using the function button and gimbal wheel to do the zoom part is also described in the manual.

They are only secrets if no one bothered to read the manual.

I used wire wool to do mine as it has a Matt finish.

"Disappointed, nothing new in this."
agree

DAFlys Posted at 10-8 05:45

Interesting, I never considered using wire wool.  Will have to put that in the old memory bank for possible future use.

Only works for Matt sinks,  I used a medium wire wool as the 0000 was just wasn’t cutting it.   I also did my wok and re-seasoned it.  Took longer to get the work stripped than the sink. Lol

Perfect! Took 10 seconds to read and learn. I can't understand why people keep posting lengthy videos of the same information (except for some weird self-glorification need maybe).

There is a method to do gloss sinks,  there are many how to's on YT,  but Ive never tested it.

I checked out a few YTs and it doesn't seem too complicated to do a gloss sink.

Yeah.  It’s about the same as polishing my exhaust pipe.  

DAFlys Posted at 10-12 04:47

Do you polish the whole exhaust pipe or just the tip?  If the whole pipe that is some real dedication.

DowntownRDB Posted at 10-13 02:55

The last 9 inches on one car. the other doesn't have a visible exhaust so it doesn't get touched.

Holaa! Yo me acabo de comprar el mini 2 y el control no se conecta con el drone... No lo consigue , alguien me puede ayudar por favorrrrrr :`(

That adds a nice finishing touch.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 10-14 02:41

The last 9 inches are chrome and contain the valves for the exhaust.
