"I've just contradicted everything I've said". Nice! Instead of simply editing that section out you poke a little fun at yourself. You're not only informative with your videos but entertaining as well. Of course, it doesn't hurt either that you're filming in an absolutely breathtaking location. Keep up the good work, please

[@DroneFilmGuide]

Thank you for the kind words and support!

[@JBOutside1]

You beat me to it. Love the comments and content Stewart. Can’t wait for my Mini to arrive this week. I’ll try not to contradict myself 🤣

[@YotamKedem]

Using ground as POI, genius idea! Much smoother results..

[@bernhardthomaskotulla3888]

Genau die richtige Location für solche Aufnahmen!! Davon kann ich in Deutschland nur träumen ! Super Video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@AndrewVanBeekOttawa]

It's weird how good a drone video is when it's not about range tests and battery life. You guys are in a league of your own.

[@DroneFilmGuide]

Ha, thanks Andrew! Yes, time to move one from range tests!

[@sky3rocket]

Stewart I lived on Skye for 12 years but am now disabled and can no longer walk these hills. Thank you for rekindling wonderful memories.

[@BlackOps-Ent]

omg, that place was gorgeous! The over the cliff shots made my stomach sick. I used to fly paragliders - this also made my stomach sick. Good, healthy respect for atmospheric turbulence. It turbulence can jack a 747 around, imagine what it can do to a 200lb pilot dangling from a flying sheet by tiny strings. Thanks for the tips, making me sick, and the wonderful production. Even if it was a tutorial with you yacking all the time, the scenery was among the best I've ever seen. I wish I lived in Europe. There is so much really old history, beautiful castles and villas, mountains, oceans...

[@bimfred]

Awesome tutorial. Such a desolate landscape. Have to wonder how beautiful it was with all the trees and animals before

[@lobanrahmantonoy4130]

The view from the top was spectacular. It was windy, I guess you took a lot of batteries with you for the drone.

[@diverbrent]

This the most informative vid on Drone Cinematography I've seen yet. Many many thanks!

[@Utopian-Fish]

One of the best videos I have seen on this subject, beautiful work Stewart

[@kamikazekaos]

Best video 📹 on here to date

[@FQ8]

LOve the screen recording to drone footage transition 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@BRIGHTNIGHTONLINE]

These shots are really something, when the drone is smooth it looks so good. Selecting the ground is a really good tip

[@XDaddy511X]

The best focus track explanation with tips and tricks.. awesome job and thank you.

[@psoon04286]

Golly! the view from the top of the peaks look like some Martian landscape(not that I would know for sure what it would look like on Mars). Simply staggeringly beautiful👍👍

[@ChrisDrakesPage]

I grew up in Achiltibuie. You made me pretty homesick today. Really enjoy your channel.

[@DroneFilmGuide]

Wow! A very beautiful and remote place to live! Then you know _exactly_ where I was!

[@tontza_visuals]

Excellent video! Definitely my favourite channel for drone topic videos 👏

[@smite5135]

Beautiful shots up there in the mountains.

[@horizonstar12]

Great informative video. Also have my heart raced a bit at the end of the circling when the drone was going to hit something.😂

[@AutumnBlair]

You turn these instructional videos into beautiful poetry. Thanks for another great production.

[@DroneFilmGuide]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@matti7777777]

Love you commentary and LOVE your shots. Thanks for the great video

[@unclejezza]

The amount of value I am getting from your content is absolutely Immeasurable. Thank you and subbed 👍

[@mikelytou]

These are some insanely good shots!

[@millenialmusings8451]

You've provided a lot of value in this video that's above and beyond the cookie cutter drone how to videos. Usually don't subscribe to anyone but subscribed to your channel

[@joeyrevier3385]

Fantastic video and love all the wisdom and tips to make Active Track really work! Would love to see everything fully "cut" together to tell your story of hiking up this mountain!

[@caspiansfriend]

Such beautiful cinematography! These are the kinds of drone shots I aspire to make for my clients. thanks for sharing with us all your thought process and your tips! Practice, practice, practice, for me, eh? Thanks for the video!

[@vCtrlAltDelv]

Awesome combination of general filmmaking advice and technical tips for the drone! Looking forward to upgrading from the Mini 1 to the Mini 3 and taking advantage of all the new functionality.

[@josefrennleitner1307]

Hi Stewart thanks for the ♥️ on my comment.love to watch your tutorials, of course not because of You . only because of Alina.thanks cheers Mate

[@babycharliebrown]

Your POI focus trick is fabulous and the best tip I’ve seen in a while! Thanks! I actually don’t have the Mini 3 though. I’ve got the Mini 2 but I’m going to try your tip of focusing on an object and walking into the frame when using Quickshots. I’m sure it will work! Thanks again.

[@fastback6578]

I haven’t watched this channel for a while and it’s clear I’ve been missing out. Really impressive content and the way you teach is clear and concise.

[@robertyenik5886]

The best tutorial iv'e watched , Thank You

[@Craig-MItchell]

The Scottish Highlands are awesome 😎 Looking forward to getting my MINI 3 upgrading from the 2. Thanks for the tips, Good luck 🍀

[@WorldWithinHim]

I recently bought this drone and your video tells me how great you are at it, plus how great you are at explaining it. Loved it! Than you for this gem!

[@Cowley33]

I’m using the DJI Air 3 and this weekend might be my first real test of active track. I’ll be doing some graded scrambles and this video is brilliant for giving me ideas!

[@timoryan4441]

Great technique examples and tips for filming. Learning a lot- as always on your site. Cheers.

[@renejaschke9835]

Brilliant storytelling and brilliant tips! Am I too stupid to find out where you were hiking? Awesome landscape! Please share.....

[@EmanuelBohlander]

Yes please! I’m very interrested too!

[@stanc846]

Wow! I'm in just in awe of the beauty of the Scotish Highlands. Thank you for revealing your pro tips

[@mr.m.6666]

Here's two words from the dictionary you can use to describe your video...WOW! Thank you

[@tonywahab3523]

Absolutely beautiful location! Thank you for sharing the tips and the experience!

[@danielh2]

Fantastic tips! 👍🏻 Especially focusing on the ground. 👌🏻 I can’t wait to try it out.

[@tlskillman]

Great video. Very helpful advice, set in an amazing environment. I have a Mini 2, but now you really have me thinking about an upgrade to the Mini 3 Pro.

[@djduane1]

Excellent job as always, Stewart! Now we know how you stay in such great shape! Mini 3 looks awesome! Can't wait for mine to arrive!!

[@rikrraven7285]

New to drone photography so I'm watching many good channels and videos on this topic. Just stumbled across this video and its on another level. You've way surpassed what I've seen. You've kept it simple and informative and showed me what's possible with some basic moves and my inspiration. Instant subscription and ill be catching up on all the other videos.

[@FernwehChronicles]

The spotlight pointing on the ground is literally the best tip I have ever heard of. Thank you 🙏🏻 And what is that amazing place? Where is this? 😮

[@thepaperplane]

I have never used the automatic functions of my drones but after this video that inspired me, I absolutely want to experiment. Great job 👍🏻

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I've ordered mine! So excited. Thanks for the tips. It's stuff I would never have thought of. I'm so hopeful that will add a lot to my videos. Cannot wait!

[@happybanana3040]

Strong capabilities on such a compact drone. Excited for DJI’s mini series. Mini 3 Pro is the most powerful one yet.

[@joachimlarsen2k]

Another video chock-full of amazing tips and inspiration. Thank you!

[@RoyClendaniel]

Best video so far on focus track... thanks.

[@misterg609]

Such beautiful scenery!! Glad to know the Mini 3 Pro can take such cinematic shots. My next drone! Thank you

[@Danger_mouse]

Great piece to add to the drone toolbox - Thanks Stuart! Beautiful location too

[@leesutton9506]

Stunning location, my M3P is my first drone, and it's a very steep learning curve, your helpful videos are so inspiring and more than helpful.

[@DroneViewsMedia]

Brilliant tips, I have my Mini 3 flymore and ND filters ordered and can't wait to try out some of this 👍

[@stanvisualseychelles932]

Focus track with Mini 4 pro will be insane. With 360 obstacle avoidance much safer in All directions

[@MrDaveB123]

YESS !!! Thank you. exactly what I was looking for . I have a 3500 km bike tour coming up and this is the type of shots I was envisioning. Thanks a ton

[@nitheesha.rahman6438]

Great tips! I've been trying to do some of these shots without having to control the drone all the time ❤

[@Ddraig62SPD]

One word .... Stonking! Wish I'd had a Mini 3 Pro during my hillwalking days in Scotland. Inverpolly is simply stunning and your footage proves it in spades!! Great advice as usual :)

[@user-jy4ix7dj7p]

Mini 3 Pro definitely delivers like a big drone. Amazing features! Hope to fly this mini beast with the new DJI RC soon.

[@JanuszStarzycki]

Great advice with POI on the ground, thank you!

[@Shtofman]

Really great tips on ways to get some smoother shots using unconventional techniques with focusing on the ground.

[@alemattosbr]

Love the tips! Beautiful moves and scenery. The tip to focus to the ground is Gold! Thanks for sharing

[@thegaardians]

Watched to end. Great content. Inspireing

[@34Media]

Great tips mate , and that landscape is EPIC, very jelly. Especially handy that locking onto the ground given me some great ideas!

[@bellxfm1]

Quite simply - excellent inspirational advice, many thanks Stewart!

[@kooljatt]

That last shot was spectacular and genius .

[@DroneFilmGuide]

Thank you!!

[@ODD_NUT]

HI Guys, After flying Drones and RC helicopters for more years than I care to remember, Im always blown away when I learn something new and you, Stewart...Blow it out of the park every time, Im currently back with a mini 3 Pro as it beats everything else hands down especially travelling everywhere by Motorbike. Cheers Buddy.. keep it flowing.

[@graemelittlewood]

Some really fantastic and useful tips, thanks.

[@ArcticRc]

Thank you Sir for educating us. Love your videos

[@edoardosala3360]

High quality video and awesome tips. Thank you 🇮🇹

[@bryanlewis2701]

I love all your tips and tricks to get the most out of your drone. such good stuff. I'm always watching for new videos from you. thanks for all you do.

[@DroneFilmGuide]

Much appreciated Bryan!

[@koldourrutia]

Thank you Stewart for sharing your work and knowledge on this mystique paradise👏👏💫👊🏻

[@tomaszgasecki]

Thanks for the tutorial. Creative ideas indeed.

[@romo8547]

Love your stuff. You are a real class act. The overall impact of your videos puts you head and shoulder above all of the other channels I follow (and I love them all). In just 2 words, ‘experienced professional’ and it shows!

[@DroneFilmGuide]

Very kind of you to say so! I would humbly say that we do have years and years of actual professional experience so delighted to hear it comes across.

[@ConstrianedVideo]

Well done - by the way, you looked like you got a good work out on th “hill” ! The focus on the ground spot versus the human is such a huge tip. Thanks for the excellent instruction!

[@anna_ojala]

Thanks of the information and examples you gave on this video. Amazing scene by the way :)

[@travelsolo2677]

Some great tips for cinematic shots 🤘🤘

[@StevenPeeters]

Really great tip to use the ground as a tracking point! Love the idea and will definitely do that

[@DroneFilmGuide]

Thanks Steven!

[@johnmorsley]

Cracking vid! Thanks, as I was struggling with these modes.

[@syedashraf9115]

These are the paths crossed by Frodo Baggins with the fellowship ☝️🧐

[@Luggruff]

For the first shot moving to the left where you came very close to the ground, you can also change stick mode to 1, so that you can both move right and up with the same stick

[@SingaporeDonoghues]

One of my FAVOURITE M3P videos, using inanimate object as the active track is a game changer, sounds so simple but I didn't think to do it 🤣 so Thank you 👍

[@craigdenfordphotography]

This is such a great video! Just got the Mini 3, having previously owned the original mini, so just getting my head around all the various tracking modes. The pro tip you give is excellent and I'm sure will prove very useful. Many thanks!

[@DroneFilmGuide]

Many thanks Craig!

[@ShlomiSchwartz]

Excellent tips! thank you

[@DAXimusTT]

that last shot is 🔥

[@editor4958]

Crikey! I came for knowledge and my attention kept drifting because of those views! Great color by the way, I always have trouble with DJI's log.

[@mattyinthesky9424]

The location was out of this world. Where was that? and thank you for the amazing tips

[@gravelroadsindia]

These are some excellent simple tips which will make the drone game far superior. There is a fundamental idea you revealed about drone photography to show as how an object moves from location A to B.

[@MarkRLeach]

Wow & thanks! (Came back from Scotland last week... wish I had had a drone with me now!)

[@Frank-xn2bl]

Wow Can’t wait to try the pro tips out!

[@CaravaningaroundAustralia]

That was awesome. Stuff I would never have thought of. Thanks 👍

[@marislidums7295]

Thanks, very usefull video!

[@rickparkinmoto]

Lots of good tips there. Time to go out and practice now!

[@stephendoggett190]

Magnificent location and magnificent cinematography. Thank you Stewart for one of the best drone videos I have ever seen to date. This will be bookmarked for future reference.

[@DroneFilmGuide]

Very kind of you to say so Stephen!!

[@judgejones36]

What a fantastic video. Learned a lot with this. Just hope I remember it. 👍🤜🤛

[@pancaro77]

Very Instructive ! Thanks a lot!!

[@mundo_ramblers]

Awesome stuff! Very inspiring, we are going to be visiting Scotland in May and hopefully I will be able to get some cool shots like these! Thank you!!

[@radistrumin]

Helpful tips. I am gonna try it with my mini 3

[@icamtoseeyou2574]

Showing us how it’s done! Brilliant work with the Mini 3 Pro. It’s amazing what this tiny drone can do.

[@DroneFilmGuide]

Thank you!

[@StefanMalloch]

Absolute gold my dude.

[@ElectricunicyclesUK]

Really good thx, I'm learning from you guys until my done arrival 😄
