2nd day flying, first video, spotted some wildlife!

Yesterday was my 2nd day with the Mavic Mini (my first drone) so I took it out for some flying practice focusing on cinematic camera moves. I lucked out and spotted some wildlife in the water!

I was also checking to see what the 2.7K footage looked like upscaled to 4K

Next time I definitely need to remember to lock the exposure on each flight. Any other suggestions / critiques?

Thanks

Not bad for two days of owning a drone

Thanks! I've been watching a ton of tutorials and am trying to remind myself to be gentle with the sticks when flying.

Nice catch on that wildlife. The quality looks better than I expected. I have one on the way so my Zoom can have a little brother. Keep on keeping on.

Thanks! I was a little surprised too! I added a bit of contrast by using the auto-color tool in DaVinci Resolve, but that was it for grading.

The scene above the water shows some ISO noise, but most of the blurriness is because the sea lion (?) was fairly deep under the water.
