These types of videos are usually so useless, but this one provided genuine value and good tips. Also, Aidin was engaging. Thanks for sharing!

[OuterSpacesWales]

[natestain]

[alun]

Thanks for sharing your wisdom, Aidin - superb as always.

[AbSesayPhoto]

Love this, and shot really well. Learning to fly a drone "well" is one of my goals this summer.

[FreewheelFlights]

Stunning footage paired with useful tips 👍

[FEDERICO-tcwn]

i completely agree with the point at 1:38, i have a dji mavic 2 pro and although it is 5 years old it still serves me well in whatever i need to do

[BearDrone]

Learned stuff for sure! Thanks making this video!

[Menelik.videos]

You have given us really good advice. Thanks so much.

[JimKilgo]

Pretty typical of the marketing whether it is cameras and or drones the "upgrade" cycle leads to G.A.S. and spending more money. I have to admit I have fallen victim too many times to this chasing the lastest and greatest. I still struggle. Thanks for this video and your insight in to what is really important in film making. The technique and getting the most out of the equipment you have available to you. BTW love your color grading on your videos.

[dennischu]

Well explained, great footages, and NatGeo quality shots...

[bigfellavideography]

interesting tips, especially the part about not making the drone shots the centrepiece of a story, but an interesting augmentation of it instead. like a still shot or footage from a centrepoint would be the juicy steak, and the drone footage the spicy sauce on top.

[denischoo]

Great tips. Like to ask what the name of that video editing software?

[thomasolsenvegge]

What editing program do you use or recommend for the drone videos?

[AnatolTol]

Hello, please tell me the program you are editing in

[thats_mr_b_]

6:12 I have the same drone but if I fly it around a mountain like they and I’m behind it, I lose connection

[toneydefreitas]

I do all my shots with drone. No need to use anything else Everybody does his or her thing differently. I hold the drone in my hand to take any ground shots or just fly a few feet from the ground . All my shots must be from the same device. I don't mix 'em.

I appreciate the video, but several of the shots shown are in violation of FAA Part 107 rules. Please de responsible as a PIC and don’t fly when there’s cloud cover and low visibility.

My issue is my videos look choppy, it's like the video isn't smooth flying around not sure, it's like the video isn't keeping up with the flight. Not smooth, if that makes sense, any suggestions
