I was really surprised of the feedback I got from the community of DJI ! I really appreciate it as it was my first drone movie after month of Youtube tutorials . This video has been selected to be among the top 5 Drone Shot shared on the forum in 2017. And I am really honoured.

Hello,

This year I went to South Africa after I decided to leave my job to travel as a content creator.

Here my first video with the Phantom 4 Pro (and sony camera) what do you think of it ?

Leave me your impression below, and if you liked the video, follow me on Instagram to see more pictures.

Wasn't expected much ! but very glad that the video looks great to your eyes ! Thank you buddy ! ;)

Wow, that was beautiful indeed.
This is how I want to make my holiday movies
One little piece I noticed.
The reversed shot at 0:55 with the waterfall should (in my opinion ;)  ) have been captured flying backwards.
Now the water is flowing up
But other than that perfect!

Great video Good job!

Ah, I must have missed that living in The Netherlands
Newton re invented

Just WHOW! Very inspirational! We're going in October, really looking forward to it. Have you flown in National Parks as well (which is not allowed, I know)? Again, well done, superb job!

It's beautiful, nothing more to say!!

Bravo

Very nice video and editing

Nothing wrong with imagery, composition and editing. Great job! Soundtrack, however ... hmm, I don't know ... Personally I'm a bit bored by this global tendency to employ such epic, bombastic, ridiculously dramatic music to spice what ... a travel industry advertisement? Your picture and story is good enough, no need for dumping such orgasmic effect on top of it. It's just too cliche, too generic, IMHO. Some local tribal music will do much better, I believe ...

Love your video really beautiful shots. I am traveling to South Africa at the end of this year and I hope I can get something like this too

a lot of "slo-mo" shots repeated and the super-tight spandex pants in Africa was kind of out of character,, but the rest looked great.

Brilliant.

Fantastic video :-)

very beautiful video thanks

Beautifully scenic videos. Sheers from Colombia.

Great shot..
1 day, i'll be there too..

one day and i will not be there

Well Done!

Great Video. I am South African and that video makes me want to explore my background more. Was any shot in Lesotho?

Very cool. Some feedback but I liked it slot.
Watch left to right, right to left mixing. Near beginning u have It or then crossing bridge it's other way from above. That's quite jarring.
Music... tied in closer to subject.
Don't buzz animals for your footage it's mean, go for higher no disturbance shots. Also a good habit to be in for those park it allowed to be in w drone and also to not give droning a bad name.
B roll glues together well in places.
Keep it up.

Absolutely stunning! #djigoals

It was a pleasure to see yours memories captured not only by the UAV dron, it is great piece of video material probably a few days of filming to get it.
Waterfall falling up ;) makes me smiling
Really great job!

Just Amazing!.

Beautiful shots.

Two things worth mentionning:
- Like @jaffanz said, please try not to scare animals by flying so low above their heads.
- Careful with the drone's shadow (around 0:45) - I know it's not always easy to avoid it though.

Keep up the good work!

Awesome video, loved it! 28k views on your first video that's impressive. Can I ask if that was mostly from youtube or did you promote the video elsewhere?

I'm also a content creator who quit his job to travel 2 years ago, not I got back in the routine after travelling for a year and I'm about to do it again next year. I've been to Africa and let me tell you, South Africa is the safest country in the whole continent
