Hello all,

This is my first video to be posted here. I'm an amateur at this and I would love to read your guys' critiques on this video...because I cannot get better if I'm not willing to be dragged online. Thanks in advance. Hope you all enjoy.

You might work on smoother course corrections. Otherwise, nice compositions.

That's one of my biggest issues. Thanks so much for the critique.

Interesting. I too have to practice a lot to make it smoother. You came close to those power wires near the start. A recent video I did came very close to wires and I didn’t see them until I watched the video. I now intend on planning ahead. Check beforehand for any traps such as wires and branches. Also, to check out the area first with the drone to decide on best angles etc before videoing. I usually just send it up and start filming.

Thanks so much for the critiques. I actually did scout out the area before filming (I was also on a train where I was able to view what is around in that area). I wasn't really close to the power lines though; I had my zoom on, so that's why It looks as if I were close. I got nervous too when I saw that lol...

Have you gone into the Fly App to change the stick sensitivity and gimbal smoothness setting of each (Cine, Normal, Sport) mode? This can assist you in smoother movements. It sure helped me with my Mini 2.

Decent video. You do need to slow down on the jerky gimbal movements and quick turns.
