    Imperial Sand Dunes - Mini 3 Pro

    Thanks for the feedback. Still working on the formula to make this long form content interesting, and you make a good point about length.

    Imperial Sand Dunes - Mini 3 Pro

    Thank you for the feedback, and good point about the altitude. This spot proved challenging to make interesting, given its very two dimensional. Next time might try a different light and see what that does.

    Imperial Sand Dunes - Mini 3 Pro

    Folks, I’m creating a series of long form relaxation videos designed for passive viewing. The kind of thing to have on that does not need a lot of concentration to enjoy, designed to be paired with your favorite music playlist. Here’s an example of my latest, shot at the Imperial Sand Dunes just...

    Cessna almost hit my drone yesterday

    Why In The World Did You Get A Drone?

    Great question and fun reading the responses. Me, I was a television news helicopter videographer back in the 80’s - now I’m shooting with an Mavic Air and a Pro. I was hand-held with a 3/4 inch videotape camera back then. It weighed about 15 pounds and we’d take the door off to get better...

    trace experimental

    A very smooth and steady clip, and good exposure. Try tilting the gimbal up a little to include the mountains in the background more.
