Oh yes..........the road..........that would be fun to ride, the video is ....well .....wow

...Stunning... ??

Spectacular as always. Love your opening scenes and special effects. Coupled with excellent flying, your videos are always “top shelf” in my opinion ???

Thanks - most interesting.

And thank YOU for watching

That one section of road puts some miles (km) on your vehicle without going too far geographically! HAHAHA.

Great video - Music match really well - Good look around!!!

Thank you very much!
I plan more time for editing now, I don't limit it to 1 day any more, it's done when it's done. I think this starts to show

Very nice video. Smooth movements and nice music.
You're right about editing...it needs time ;-)

Well captured and edited. Pro all the way. Love it. I've got to travel there someday. I could fly/film that area of Europe for the rest of my life and be eternally happy.

One thing I really like about the M2P camera is that the close up shots along the ground look really close (2:47). And it doesn't have the lens warping typical of the other Mavics. Sometimes it works, other times a distraction. I think you could reduce your yaw speed settings a bit. The traveling pano starting at 3:11 is a good shot, but the angle and direction of travel doesn't quite fit the natural line. Still works though. Consider flying closer to the road in those long sections, following the direction line w/subtle arcs. The quick yaw at the end makes for an interesting transition. Sometimes, I'll start a slight turn at the end of a clip, then cut to a clip with the opposite turn.

I'd like to see you get closer to land features (like 1:11) and roadway and follow the natural lines with some slow sweeping arcs. You'd get more of a parallax effect flying closer. I love your straight down shots. They always look cool and cut in well. You could use more gimbal tilts in flight, backwards travel/reveals to dramatic effect and cut variety. Try the roadway cliff drop (Thelma & Louise shot). I'd also like to see more of those amazing peaks and ridge lines at the higher elevations. You could add a little more drama to your POI's with a long arc boomerang move and speed ramping.

I've seen so many bad drone videos lately, yours is a breath of mountain air.

Thank you very much! Of course I will keep them coming. I just invested in a new expensive camera, we can't let that just gather dust

Thank you very much as always Yes that road is impressive, it was built almost 200 years ago

Maik, what camera did you buy?

 

[TwoSticks]

Truly beautiful, I wish to visit in person one day. I love watching videos like these, they are (you are) so far ahead of my skill it gives me something to aim for. Thanks for sharing.

Simply fantastic and very well done! Thanks for sharing your adventures and great work!
