Air 3s Top 10 Tallest Skyscrapers in Austin, TX 4K

So...with Part 107 can you stand next to a skyscrapper and fly over it 400 feet if you can still see your drone and there are no people below??
 
Hope you enjoy this fast-paced tour featuring the tallest 10 buildings in the Capitol city of the Lone Star State. Enjoy!

Another great video! Great job :)
 
Thank you. The editing is what took the longest. I was actually able to do all of the filming in a single afternoon.
Only constructive criticism would be that there is some serious judder, or possibly stutter, going on in the all the panning shots that detracts from the presentation. Is that because no ND filter was used during the shooting to provide motion blur, or perhaps an unintended artifact of an inappropriate timeline conversion or fps selection in the editing?

What fps did you shoot in, and what fps did you export in?
What was the shutter speed of the video?

Ideal for YT content, typically viewed on a 60Hz display, for drone footage flying sideways is 30fps at 1/60th of a second with 1/30-1/50th of a second giving room for exposure control, after choosing an appropriate ND filter to achieve 1/60th of a second.

This guy has some great tips, and is very responsive in the Comments:

I filmed in 30 fps and 1/60th shutter speed. Used the matching timeliness settings. Most likely it's because the footage was sped up. Guess I'll try 60 fps.

*UPDATE* After double checking, it looks like the timeline in DVR was set to 25fps. I have no idea how this happened, because every time I create a new timeline, it ask me if I want to match to the frame rate of the clip. Very odd.

Great video. Thanks for posting, it got my creative juices flowing. I’m curious, did you present it to Waterline? If so, what was their reaction?
Thanks! No, I don't have any intention of making them aware. You never know how people will react to a drone flying around their job site.
 
Nice video. I did see the judder too but then realized it was 25fps, so that explains it.
