I love motorbikes, and have had far too many to comment, so the pics of the bikes are great.
But, the video I did not like at all. I absolutely hate the beats, it distracts from the content of the video and therefore makes all your efforts with the Mavic wasted.

Sorry, 1/10 for music, 7/10 for flying photography, 10/10 for effort

Hi there Virgil,

Great video!

Damn im jealous! The dude who helped me import the Superduke from Belgium had a diavel and let me drive it for a bit. Such crazy riding position for the amounts of torque. Love to own something like that in the future!

Hi Vergil,

Thanks for posting and being brave enough to ask for comments. Zatx made useful suggestions and I would agree with those. I am also a biker. My last 'proper' bike was a VFR800, which we rode to the Isle of Man TT each year so I could take photographs. (I've add a favourite - John McGuinness' 100 mph approach to 'White Gates' in the 2005 Superbike race. I love the concentration in those eyes).

I enjoyed the video, I have the following thoughts/comments. Were you trying to show off the bike or the Mavik? The long shots over the houses showcased the ability of the Mavik but (for me) detracted from the main theme (the bike?). I was sort of waiting for the long shot of the country road with the bike sweeping through, as this is my idea of rider heaven! I really like the editing (especially to the music) and effects which add to the atmosphere.

Don't be put off by my (or any other) comments, I am sure there will be plenty that will disagree.

first off, nice bike man!. Thanks for your comment will use it for sure. I was not sure what to do exactly in the vid. Playing with the drone was so much fun but on the other side i wanna show the bike and make some sort of story

Can anyone here provide a RAW 1080p60/1080p96 video for comparison?
Does the Mavic also have a 4K60 mode since the sensor does indeed provide such a mode? If yes, can someone post a RAW video for this mode too?

There's a "rumor" going around that the 1080p60/96 modes shoot with lower quality and less bitrate due to the sensor not being capable of such a mode, or better said it does Pixel Binning which creates horrible Moire effects and artefacts.

Great thread.

Does anyone have recommendations on videos, reading materials, etc relating to shooting cinematic type video with drones?

Shooting some nice footage is one but making it look cinematic is a second. You have to look into some diffrent editing software and the suiting tutorials for them. Search "how to achieve a film look". You are probably gonna see a lot of color grading Lut type of tutorials etc. Placing the top and bottom black bars on your videos also helps out a lot if you wanna get the film look.

i will try to supply it

Wanna thank you all for the views and comments!

Why is the horizon so off? Is that an issue with the mavic?

https://youtu.be/IjawbtHal0s Short snipped of some footage today. Learning my sister how to drive

So you're learning your sister to drive while making a nice video I think she can drive without your help, let her doe some "knietje door de bocht"
What bike is it, do not recognize this one, was thinking of a cagiva but do notice the tube frame.
Did you tap to focus?

im just your average person who just shoot things. do you guys recommend a easy beginner video editor? i have both mac and pc.

Yes i know but im gonna ride while its possible.

It was nice to see some more Mavic footage! I have to agree with a few other users, the bouncing became so annoying haha (Constructive criticism)

On the beat drop the shot couldve been a little more epic, like maybe a fly by past the mavic, something more intimate for the climax!
The colour was slightly oversaturated - I'd definitely recommend toning down a little in the settings.

Other than that some really nice shots.

Can't wait to get my hand on my mavic. Its been a long time coming!

thanks for the feedback man! really helps out a lot!

I got out the other day and ran the Mavic through some more flights in cold weather (32-34 F). I keep the batteries warm until I am ready to fly and then let the drone warm up for a minute before really flying. So far the Mavic has performed perfectly in the cold still giving me 23-24min of flight time. I made a short video of it too...

very nice shots!

On your first video, I notice that the footage jumps at 0.16s and multiple times after 0.22s.  Do you know what was causing those jumps?
