Here comes my first real video with Mavic Air. Footage taken very near to where I live. More about the location: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drachenfels_(Siebengebirge)
I would have loved to fly higher and closer, but it was really very windy there and I preferred to avoid risks nearby the river. The video is still far from perfect, but at least a start...

Sweet WB, Nice Job, love how crystal clear the water is,  looks like a nice place to live. Don't know why YT starts all their videos at 720p, don't forget to click on the HD cog to up the the resolution to see the true clarity & colors!

Loved the beginning with the view of the passing barge seen thru the grass.

Thanks for sharing. Hope to see more videos

Very colourful, clear images and plenty of motion in the footage - really liked the backward flying over the tress with the ship in the centre of the frame! Good work!

Thank you, the resolution should even further increase. I have uploaded 2K, but Youtube needs time for processing.

Please watch again dear friend, even before the train there was another "present" for you. I thought of you with the ship's flag and the train :-). There even was another train in the footage but had to cut it for keeping the video short. I had to cut so much, it was very painful ;-)

BTW I think you are well below what I would consider 'too long'.
Now I know some say that 3 minutes is the max, but if the footage is interesting enough...

PS, just posted some work (finally) shot with the Osmo Mobile.

Great job Watchberger, beautiful place nice flying and really good video.

Thank you very much dear friend! :-) I see this place every morning when I go to work coming down the hills where I live. And each day in the past I thought it's about time to fly and film there. I plan to do more there when there is less wind, it was heavy that day but the MA and its gimbal did amazingly well.

Yes, my goal was 3 minutes max but in this case the length of the music clip has dictated the lengh of the video. I liked it so much to go with this footage and didn't want to bring in anything else for the remaining time. And I have just watched your new video and responded.

Yes, that I understand. It suited your footage very well indeed!

I try to use my own music, so that I can change the length if needed.
Not the best in the world, but it works fine for me.
One other drawback is the time it takes to make something decent enough

Thank you very much! It actually was my plan to film both castles (the ruin and the slightly newer and intact one) on that day because the light was so good. Just the wind was way too strong to go up there and over the river. But "Dragon's Rock 2" will come for sure! :-)
