This is by far the most professional, inforamtive tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you for including the stick positions in each shot also!

"Throughout this entire video the word "Cinematic" will be used only once. And that was it."

You're a gem hahaha! I've learned to despise that now meaningless word

[carlyrobinson]

Came to learn... stayed for how well behaved your dog is and your ability to talk through snow blowing into your face. Great work as always Neil!

I cannot believe this video only got 119k views. It deserves millions of views!! Stick positions are reallllyyyy helpful, all of the footages are amazing, and the variations of the shots are overwhelming. I will definitely rewatch the video tons of times to master these shots! Thank you so much for the video.

I've watched dozens of these videos on this topic in the last month since getting my first drone and I have to say, this his hands-down the best. Thank you! I especially appreciate the graphic at the bottom showing control inputs for each clip. Bravo!

dude you are crazy, you explained literally every detail. thank you man.

[darianrundallmedia]

There are so many of these videos rehashing the same info but I feel this is the best one.

[MPFben]

I love the stick position display. Very clever and helpful. I also love the animations explaining certain aspects. I also really appreciate your determination to continue, even in less than perfect weather!

[dumpmuch]

I'm actually impressed by the filming quality of this video

[jonx]

One of the best videos in this site. Thank you!

[russellschundler]

One of the best introductory training videos on drone photography I have seen so far ... great job !!!

[brad_in_yyc]

Your channel is the first channel I've come across that had your drone movements on the screen and I really appreciate that, as a new drone operator.

[mujthabahassan]

Damn, I learnt so much from such a short video. Highly under rated

[CNMTCFilms]

Production quality on point again✨ I now why I've subscribed ✌🏼 I really like that you showed the sticks you used to achieve the shots

[jorgmeier]

honestly, this is by far the most professional video tutorial on this topic. It’s so pleasant to watch and motivates so much to go outside to learn with the drone!
Thank you so much especially for including the stick movement in each clip. You’re literally the first guy where I will hit the notifications bell!

Hello Neil, just wanted to let you know I thoroughly enjoyed the work and thought you put into making this video. Very nice footage, weather, presentation, graphics! It's by far the best produced one I saw so far. Have a nice weekend!

[BlancGivre]

Your level of professionalism is astonishing.

[toneydefreitas]

There are often spectacular cloud formations which adds a lot to a beautiful sunrise, sunset or background.

[miljomupp]

Thanks. While I don't have a drone, yet, I have watched a fair number of YT videos about flying drones and yours by far seems the most useful.

[rayortega]

Great Tutorial, love that you included the control stick and gimble positions as well. Thank you!
