Hello, guys,

I have seen on many occasions people recommending tons of dji Mavic accessories on youtube videos... but I found that many of them were actually being just a pain in the ass when trying to fly.

So I created a video on youtube with my top 6 cheap Mavic accessories that are:
-easy to carry
-cheap
-super useful
-don't take a lot of time to install
Here's the video to check my list:

Actually, these accessories even help me put the drone in the air quicker!

Can you please tell me what are you favorite accessories that aren't a pain to carry around and fly with?
I want to create an article soon on dronesgator.com and I might use your answers as inspiration.

Thanks!

Sorry, I can't get myself to watch beyond 1 min, way too much talking, just like any other YouTube production..... sorry

Thanks for the heads up.

Good to know - thanks

Thanks for sharing.
Anyone that is trying to promote knowlegment to the hobby, in my opinion, is wellcome!

Some corrective criticism for you and most others at youtube. Don't move your hands around like someone lost at sea and a plane is flying over. Drives me nuts to see that. If it happens at the start of a video i shut it off immediately.............

Agree on that.
Just make a short summary with text so you can watch silently!

To each his own!

Thanks for the feedback, Romeo!

Think I should talk less and have breaks where I show Footage or something?

How should a perfect  youtube review work in your opinion if talking wasn't involved?

Agree on that.

I could possibly add a time table in the first comment so people can jump to whatever they want to.
Think that should work?

Hi PaulArcher,

My take is something that can captivates the attention of viewers within 30 seconds of the video. Short intro, maybe about 15 secs as people viewing it will know what they are going to view. Then the first item should appear... go straight into the pros or why you think it is not a pain, then second item and so on.  The way I look at it, the whole video should last about 3 mins 30 seconds max.  Unless of course there is a requirement somewhere that states that the video must be at least of a certain length.  But that is just me.

It depends on your audience.
Most have little time and probably only want to know about some specific subject, not all the background info.
There are 1.00.0000 video's that are of interest.

My preference would be to make a short video and add written text with the conclusion.
That way you can find the info fast and don't have to listen to all this talking.

(if you want to make talking video's, just start a vlog )

Well Paul was around for a long time.  Some people hate to do something original which causes the body to sweat eh.

"My take is something that can captivates the attention of viewers within 30 seconds of the video."

That is normal rule for giving live presentations (years ago that is).  If you don't catch your target audience's attention in first 30-seconds, you likely never will.
In today's instant world, I would say you have about 10 seconds.

Absolutely, no long artsy musical intros.  Get to it, or loose your audience.
