    Florida Waters - Above and Below

    So TBH, most of this was shot on a Gopro. That said, I really think the Mavic shots pull the whole thing together, especially at the end. If you've got a keen eye you can compare the yacht scenes (shot on a Mavic Pro 1) to the smaller boat scenes (Mavic Pro 2) but the lighting conditions were so...

    The "kaleidoscope" transition

    I'm looking to expand my horizons all the time. Different music sparks a different feeling in my editing, so I don't always use music that I LOVE, just a song that I feel fits the mood of the piece.

    The "kaleidoscope" transition

    Hey, thanks for watching! If you turned on some music right now, what would it be?

    The "kaleidoscope" transition

    This is on the wild side for sure, that's why I bring it before you here. It's shot on an FPV rig and a Mavic Pro. The transitions are where I jumped the rails though, love to hear what you think. Spoiler warning: my work is not for the weak stomach

    Mavic Air 2 Cinematic Video

    That's some nice flying, starting to look like FPV there in the speedy stuff. Love the color grade too. Have you considered FPV, looks like you've got the eye for it :)

    Will MP charging hub work for M2P Batteries?

    No. The MP is a 3 cell battery and the MP2 is a 4 cell, so the chargers are different voltages

    Newbie in Need

    Did you try hooking it up to assistant to see if it comes up? May have just lost your radio link. BTW, I would't trust or charge a battery that's been underwater. It could swell and catch fire worst case scenario

    Sun Up Sun Down

    Starting with the drone away from you on a programed flight to return helps the battery life problem. Another good trick is to simply use two different shots. People try to bring the rig down to change batteries and then put it back up seamlessly. It's easier to find a different perspective and...

    Sun Up Sun Down

    I've tried doing this, I even had a monopole, and I didn't like how it came out. Yours is great!. The pro pilots that I know with rock steady footage use a program called Reelsteady. I think it's too expensive, and I don't like the look of too much perfection that it produces. For stability, it...

    Thank you very much Dale!. My dream is to be able to work creative projects like this with my drones, I'm trying to build a body of work that proves I can :) I'm not too far away from you either, my wife and I live up in West Palm

    Suffering & Light [Abstract Music Video]

    I got some friends to come out in the woods with me finally, so I had some people to shoot! We had a lot of fun messing around, I brought a ride-along set of goggles so they could fly with me if they weren't in the shot. This was shot on a Mavic Pro, A Gopro 7 on a gimbal or an FPV rig, and a...

    uʍop ǝpᴉs dn [Abstract Edit]

    I approached some friends that have a band, they've got a really deep catalogue and a song for just about everything. I switched the song out for one of theirs, and... well I kept the color grade and the hook but it's a lot of new footage. I'm proud of it!

    Dream - A Flight from Reality

    @old man mavic that's very kind of you. I've been inspired to recut this with some footage from a recent shoot I did with actual people. It should be shorter, and tighter, and have PEOPLE in it :) That's a treat for me, I'm normally left to play all by myself

    Dream - A Flight from Reality

    Very nice to see some real creativity, I know how long those composite shots can take. Great job, love the concept

    The beginning is the mavic pro, and the stuff through the woods is a custom FPV rig I built. I see water too! That's what intrigued me at first. I agree that it gets same-y and... Wow, I just had an epiphany! I know where I can get some footage to keep this interesting. It's back to DaVinci...
