5 Killer Ideas for Drone Videos

Subbed within 10 seconds. Straight into the content, no messing around, no BS. Great presentation and quality content. If only more of YouTube were like this

Loved the part where you say that many times when flying a drone you feel like you're doing something illegal even if you're flying legally! I always get tha feeling! LOL Good to know I'm not the only one!

1) 2:45 Low, fast, over-water 2) 3:18 Just straight down 3) 3:55 Right down the line 3.5) 4:50 Shot kinda down 4) 5:02 Eagle on the mountain 5) 5:54 Fly just barely above anything busy happening beneath 5) 6:36 Find a tall building and go sideway

I am 54 years old, and I am also a rookie drone pilot. Thank you for providing a no nonsense video tutorial. I have my FAA part 107, now I am flying as much as possible to get profitable experience. Again, I thank you.

“To get a cool shot find a hill” Me who lives in the Netherlands....

I love this video! such a gentle reminder that drones are still just tools and what's more important is how we capture things using them.

I’ve been flying DJI’s since the Phantom 3 my mother in law & wife got me for Christmas years ago. I crashed that thing more than it deserved, and rebuilt it twice. When I felt ready, I graduated to a Spark...and eventually a Mavic Air. I run a 90’ fishing boat, the whole point of acquiring a cinematic drone was to film the ocean and things that I normally get to experience everyday; but from an aerial perspective. I’m 100% self taught with drones and photography/videography, and I’ve scoured YouTube for a long time to teach myself anything I can. Today I scooped up a Mavic Air 2. This video is one of the most refreshing tutorials I’ve happened across. Your explanations are very concise, without the hoopla that I normally expect from drone tutorial videos. Not a single ‘ayyyy it’s your boiiii’ or other crap that usually gets me clicking ‘next’ without bothering to finish a video. This video gave me ideas for tomorrow when I will inevitably launch the Air2 from the roof of my 90’ footer. Rock on🤘

Very interesting document but a very important piece of advice is missing: "don't forget to push the record button".

This is exactly the short, quick, no brainer information I was looking for. Even though you obviously don’t need it, you now have one more subscriber. Thanks!

Fantastic stuff! I have a lot of still photography experience, but not video. I can see how these shots map to the still version, but the execution is quite different. I really like the pacing and the wealth of matching examples. Your audio is perfect too. I’m excited to try these techniques by matching your examples so I can build on them with my own style. I put this video in my drone folder and my favorites folder. Thank you again for your generous advice and sharing your accumulated experience and wisdom.

Subscribed literally because he didn’t do all the cheesy YouTube guru routines and got straight to the point. Refreshing

I'm in the 🎥 media industry for 30 years and this week will receive my first drone by DJI. You simple focused and brutally honest tutorial videos are exactly what I needed to view and hear right now. I'm grateful and keep making more as you bring on the creative inspiration too. I especially loved the surfing pans too . 🏄🏾‍♀️ I lived in Kona Hawaii and now see what is possible with skill work and confidence.

Seems like the most important thing is scouting epic locations.

I love his no bull sh*t direct way of telling you how to get shots. Ive been a cinematographer in Hollywood for 20 years and I couldnt have said it better myself.

"How to not suck while pointing your camera at things" is the best definition of cinematography I've heard yet. It's not about fancy cameras, and exotic lenses. It's about good composition and intentional shots.

love the humor and the straight to the point no BS tips. I've watched maybe over 100 drone tip videos and I liked this one the best.

this is one of the most inspiring videos i've seen about drones. i'm gonna take your advice from your other video and start sharing what I shoot. I'll send some shots soon!

Great stuff! I've found (every time start trying to cut drone clips to include in a project) that MY most common 'rookie mistake' is to be too frequently making course corrections. Nothing ruins that cinematic vibe like an unexpected tweak (however slight) in direction... And then you're left trying to make a shorter segment work than what you had wanted from it...

Great video. Got into drones about a decade ago... only started flying DJI a year ago. Started with mini 1... only a few months later, after your videos, I found out I had to now learn photography; upped to a Phantom 4. Only 2 months later; I now own a DJI Mini 2 fly more; plus I proudly operate my Phantom 4 Pro Plus (beside the displays issues), I refer back to your videos more than anything in the previous 9 years. I love this. Love your videos.

i watched your 1hr long free webinar and that had me smiling from beginning to end. you have a gift my friend. it's no nonsense, direct presentation whilst being funny. really funny.
