Hey guys, I am new to the Mavic Mini, looking for some places to fly in Woodville, AL, Scottsboro, AL, or Huntsville, AL. Took some footage off of Grant Mountain today. Forgive me I was a little nervous, being as how it is my first DJI Drone. and the drop off that mountain is quite steep. I hope you all enjoy.

FYI your video never posted.

I don't see it either. Maybe because it's his first post?

Thanks guys for the tips I will be posting a YouTube link shortly. However, I’m new to the editing so please don’t go to hard on me for jerking the camera and not editing it out. Like I said the YouTube link will post shortly

Welcome to the forum from the deserts of Arizona! Enjoy.
We all are learning.

BTW, will try later but your vid link to YouTube didn’t work just now.
Possible hints from a user...
Don’t use attach files, if you did. YouTube vids should load and present a permanent picture link just by copy/paste of the “share” code.... be sure the vid is set to public on prefs in YouTube.

Works now. Great 1st effort! Thanks for posting.
rec slowing movement down a bit.... it does take time.

 

[mgardner36460]

Thank you

Welcome to the community mgardner36460 . . . we are happy to have you. Nice video too! When shooting these types of videos it helps to go into Cinematic mode; it slows the movements down a bit.

You can find places to fly and meet-ups "HERE" . . .

 

[mgardner36460]

Thank you

Not bad at all for a first go.

Looks like you already know what you have to practice at so keep it up.

When editing it can be a good idea to do 2 versions, a long one for your personal viewing and a short one to host on line, as a lot of members point out you have to keep the viewer interested and a lot have a short attention span .
I have mentioned in the past that our video’s are like holiday snaps in that you should only show people a select few of the interesting ones as they only remember the bad ones like the one where you cut someone's head off.
I know can be a little heart braking ruthlessly editing out your lovely video but your viewers don't have the memory’s of the day like you do so short & sweet to keep the interest.
I look back at some of my attempts that I was proud of at the time and think why did I leave that in & I should have shortened that part.

Remember it’s all about having fun and you will learn all the time so have fun and fly.

Does anyone besides me see the irony in the selected song for this video? Flying a Mavic Mini and selecting the song “like a rock”. With all the reports of Mavic Minis “falling out of the sky Like A Rock” Hahahaha. Sorry, I have a weird sense of humor!
