    I'm new to this...be gentle with me :-)

    Welcome! Enjoy the new pilot rush, but go slow. Study the manual (More than once.). Use YouTube for tutorials. To up your game learn cinematic maneuvers.

    Drone hyperlapse at night

    Well done! Footage pretty much kept my interest, many do not. The music selection matched the footage. Overall editing outstanding.

    Are you going to move from a Mavic 2 Pro to a Mavic Air 2? And why?

    Not interested. Increased flight time, which isn’t much, is no justification. The so called image improvement, again is not a reason to make the jump. Pause and think want one really uses their drone photo/video for? Or, how much one shares the them, the viewing audience, and the viewing quality.

    Stunning Johannesburg SkyLine

    Agree to what has been said. There is a rather simple fix: (1) Search online for well done drone videos. (2) Learn and practice cinematic maneuvers. (3) Understand your chosen video editing program.

    Arizona Cactus - edited version

    Here’s my feedback... For me overall the video moves along too slow, for example, the opening sequence from about :20 to :43. Basically, this is a still image. Immediately following this, I found the same panning the drone to the right. These are other sequences, but you get the idea. Subject...

    New Pilot...Anxious To Learn

    Welcome! Word of caution. While there is a surge of excitement owning your first drone, guard against: Not thoroughly reading the manual numerous times. Do take time to review the mini fly-away issues. Do use YouTube tutorials on the Mini.

    Sunset shot

    Pretty good capture. If you have a program like Photoshop (?) it is possible to fix the underexposed portion.

    Mavic 2 pro settings

    Did you do a search on the subject? Same question applies to YouTube. There are a small variance in what are the best settings.
