Don’t you love flying over water. No obstacle in the way. And finding a boat or something to follow can be cool. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GbILFEdUhhU  Here’s my first video with IMovie

Good job     

Yeah, it's fun. But just be diligent should you drop close to the surface (<10m)  if you have VPS enabled.

Nice job
If you dont mind a few pointers to make the video more pleasant to watch.
1. Slow down
2. Try a higher resolution video if you can.
3. Ensure you turn off vps when flying low over the water
4. Try a pol filter when over water.
5. When using transitions use them between different scenes not just cut the same scene in two.
6. Drone and camera movements should be fluid and smooth not jerky and fast.(try using tripod mode this will slow everything down and make a much smoother video)
7. Find royalty free music that suits the overall image or story you are trying to present. (Be carefull using copyright material you could end up in trouble www.soundimage.org is a great resource)
8. Look at what others have done with their videos and study their movements and techniques they use to achieve a certain shot.
9. Lastly ask questions (there is no such thing as a stupid question if you dont know the answer) there are many very experienced pilots and videographers here that can and do give great advice.
There are many other things that could be listed but that should get you started in creating great videos.

Always been scared to fly over water, I want to do it for sure. Especially in the couple of weeks when we attend a large fireworks show on the lake.

What is VPS?, I am only into my DJI for about 2 weeks.

VPS stands for Vision Positioning System. Another words all these optical, sonic and infrared sensors which are desperately trying to keep your drone in one piece while you're messing with sticks on RC . Downward sensors aren't particularly good when dealing with water surface, but above some 10 m or so it doesn't matter anymore because their range of efficiency is limited to just that much. Read more in Manual, the knowledge about VPS may extend the life span of your drone by a week or two LOL.

Aloha Bair,

     This is a test to see if your video will open up directly.



Aloha and Drone On!

Aloha Bair,

     You have to load the URL in its own separate line and then hit return.  The line is then converted to the DJI URL loader and it loads directly.

     Hope this helps!

Aloha Bair,

     Apparently, you have blocked this video from playing on the DJI Forum.

Aloha and Drone On!

Thanks everyone for the comment and suggestions.   Peace

Learning as I go. You have to shoot 2-3 hrs of video to make a good 4:00 minute video

My fourth flight over water. (Still praying that it doesn't suffer an unexplained power failure like others have posted)

With a few threads in the past weeks where guys had their Phantom 4 dropping dead over water it might be advisable to not do it as long as their is still warranty on the bird.

For a warranty claim you need to recover the drone and send it in ;-)

But then what's all the fun in flying over farm fields?

Do you load video in text or picture link ?

The above is SPAM and has been reported.

[Edit: No Spam. My Bad. Sorry!]

99% of the time I'm over water. Filming ships or simply doing this.

Sorry for my SPAM note earlier.
When I looked at the video I didn't notice you were the OP.
I only looked at the first frames and thought this can't be the topic ;-)

Nice footage. I love flying over the water too and getting footage of the boats too.

No problem. Still figuring things out for forum. Trying with no success, to load YouTube video. Tried in text area. And in picture area. Didn’t work either. What do I do ?

Ok, I see it worked. Maybe you shouldn't assign an individual name.
Just paste the link into both text boxes and it will work.

Strange thing is: When I click on your video I posted it says:
"Watch it at Youtube. The owner has deactivated the rights to play it on other websites"
(Or similar - I translated from German...)
