Nice, I'm happy to see it done from a Mavic 2 ZOOM. The PRO gets a lot of praise so to see a Mavic 2 Zoom getting the job done it's a thumb sup.....

Agreed I have a M2Z and while the image and video quality isn’t the same as with the Pro, it is very good quality. Great work here by the way!

Am I mistaken or the horizon is tilted?

Nice Look - … But Your Gimbal Looks in Trouble there-
The Shaking is not Normal-

But Impressive view site - Amazing Fireworks - and there seemed like at least 20-30 smaller shows going on at the same time

Am I mistaken or the horizon is tilted?

Tilted and twitching.
I take off, lift to eye-level and if the image is tilted, I take a hold of the camera and give it a twist a couple of times till it levels. Not uncommon with my Mavic.
This may be caused by a but of dust in the gimbal.
Also, the moves are a bit snappy. Perhaps consider Tripod or Cine mode - or edit out the jerks.

I thought the video looked pretty good as compared to what I produced. Do you remember what your all your settings were? Altitude, distance from fireworks, camera settings. And would you mind sharing them? I tried to video fireworks with my M2Z and unfortunately didn't turn out near as nice as yours. I shot in 4K, 25 frames per second, no filters. Not very good to my liking but really want to improve. I set my focus at about 100' from a light source with manual focus on the ground and then set the focus to auto focus for videoing.
Thank you for your consideration.

Yea had a crash never been the same so I stick some tape on the horizontal tilt to keep it from drooping to the side

4K 30 auto focus nothing special but I’ll double check when I get home at work now

Thank you so much. I believe my main problem was that I was way to close. Doing this ones a year sure keeps one from getting any practice. I shot in 4K but at 25 frames per second. I will make notes and do 30fps next year. Thanks again my friend.

I’d like to see your video if you don’t mind

Having trouble trying to find out how to copy to youtube. Don't know why it is so difficult. Haven't given up yet, but close.

I thought you got that fixed awhile back? or did you just ask for it back and never got it done? Unfortunate that its titled - would have been a spot on shot if it wasn't shaking so much

 

[Arce101]

Yea never fixed it just gonna Get a new gimbal later

 

[ChuckNorrisUSAF]

just don't be flying in fog and trees again, you'll be good
