Hello All,
I'm new to this forum and glad to be here. I'm a commercial fisherman who recently got into drone videography and spent the summer filming our trip from a boat sailing all the way from Oregon out to dutch harbor.

I'm looking for input/advice on how to spruce up my drone work for next summer. There's an incredible amount of subject material to capture, I just feel like most my shots are very basic, which isn't doing the scenery or animals the justice they deserve. Please let me know thoughts about the filming itself (as in what new shot strategies I can try) as well as the color grade I did in DaVinci Resolve (filmed in d-log m). I used an air 3, but am curious to hear about what people have to say about upgrading for next summer. Flying conditions are usually pretty breezy out in the Aleutians.

As far as anyone is aware, is there really any way to fly in a light rain (I missed so many unbelievable shots due to rain) whether that be a water-resistant model or an aftermarket "rain jacket" that works.

The drone work itself starts after the introduction which is gopro footage of our process for getting our boat and gear from oregon to the aluetians
