I've tested tons of ideas of what to film, I know how frustrating it is not knowing what to do when you first get a drone. Which shots look coolest or which locations wind up giving great shots everytime. As a drone cinematographer, these 5 Filming and location ideas give me gold pretty consistently.

These 5 techniques pretty much give me consistently great cinematography everytime. The drone does most of the work with the 4k camera honestly. These are easy to do, don't take multiple functions or tons of experience and work great for mavic pro, mavic zoom, mavic air, phantom 4 and 3, etc.
2:45 Low, fast, over-water
3:18 Just straight down
3:55 Right down the line
4:50 Shot kinda down
5:02 Eagle on the mountain
5:54 Fly just barely above anything busy happening beneath
6:36 Find a tall building and go sideway
These are my best drone video moves I could tell you off the top of my head, but I have a new video for drone cinematography as well for 2022. Go to my channel for that one, I have new shots angles and ideas, and also how to make money with your drone.

It's a good video, I agree, but no, he doesn't get into the content until over 2 minutes. These shill like comments are probably the most cringe part of influencer style youtube videos.

And he doesn't waste people's time with an intro flashing his name and credentials eating up the first 30 seconds of the video. Watch his Webex/Webinar. I've done it a couple of times and it's amazing and free information too.

Loved the part where you say that many times when flying a drone you feel like you're doing something illegal even if you're flying legally! I always get tha feeling! LOL Good to know I'm not the only one!

@dylandreisbach1986 3 года назад

I feel like it’s somehow an invasion of privacy even though I’m filming the outside a hundred feet away from any property. It doesn’t help that the drone sounds like a swarm of angry bees drifting from the sky, so everyone looks at it.

@Neji2017 3 года назад

Dude! Do you know how much I felt that?! I have three drones and a ronin m that I haven’t been able to use fully because I feel like a creeper when people stare and gawk. But once I got over it I have had great conversations and met new people.

@BeavistheLizard 3 года назад

I totally get these feels.. I read the other comments in this thread and I am glad that I am not alone, I have had my Mavic Air since it came out... I take it everywhere with me but I rarely use it. It is a lot better if you can take someone with you... but my GF isnt keen, (its boring for her to sit and watch me play with my toy). I am pretty good at flying it, well aware of the rules and stay within them... but I feel I am going to get in trouble or have it stolen from me!! Fear Sucks.

@ReeWrayOutdoors 3 года назад

Great stuff! I've found (every time start trying to cut drone clips to include in a project) that MY most common 'rookie mistake' is to be too frequently making course corrections. Nothing ruins that cinematic vibe like an unexpected tweak (however slight) in direction... And then you're left trying to make a shorter segment work than what you had wanted from it...

@Capt213 3 года назад

I’ve been flying DJI’s since the Phantom 3 my mother in law & wife got me for Christmas years ago. I crashed that thing more than it deserved, and rebuilt it twice. When I felt ready, I graduated to a Spark...and eventually a Mavic Air. I run a 90’ fishing boat, the whole point of acquiring a cinematic drone was to film the ocean and things that I normally get to experience everyday; but from an aerial perspective. I’m 100% self taught with drones and photography/videography, and I’ve scoured RU-vid for a long time to teach myself anything I can. Today I scooped up a Mavic Air 2. This video is one of the most refreshing tutorials I’ve happened across. Your explanations are very concise, without the hoopla that I normally expect from drone tutorial videos. Not a single ‘ayyyy it’s your boiiii’ or other crap that usually gets me clicking ‘next’ without bothering to finish a video. This video gave me ideas for tomorrow when I will inevitably launch the Air2 from the roof of my 90’ footer. Rock on🤘

If something would happend and it crashed, it could have made a lot of damage and you cant say much to get yourself out of that lot of shit. Keep it up you doing great other than that.

One little moment of pilot error and feeling out of control, I put the drone away for 10 months. I'm back. My grandson told me I need to get comfortable flying looking at the screen.
