[@sweeney69728]

[@JoeClement]

Great tips man! I just purchased this drone today for my travel videos and can't wait to take them to the next level. Keep up the good work!

[@stephen_lee10]

Thanks for the simple yet effective tips on making better cinematic shots. Good insights and thinking process on what "shot" you want.

[@JuanCamacho21]

Thanks for the tips! I learned a few things on this. Looking forward to getting a drone soon.

[@jch360]

Awesome tips, extremely beneficial without all the over complications and wordiness. One of the best videos I've seen that can be applied over all drones.

[@paulbreland6444]

Simple and fun, yet very useful information. Nicely done!

[@Epauya]

DEFFFF THIS IS THE MOST EPIC CINEMATIC SHOTS FOR ME 💪🏻

[@stewartabel]

This is really useful! thanks. I just got my first DJI drone and these are very useful tips. Thanks a lot!

[@dirlenelopez6033]

I have just bought one for me... so excited to start using it. Thank you for the amazing tips!

[@StefanDrury]

Thanks for watching Dirlene, enjoy flying it!

[@mailbox5233]

Started Quick, Beautfiul and changing Pictures, Great Tips. I usually dont comment but this video was on Point 👌

[@nicholassmith6320]

Right now I work in videography, but I am also very interested in aviation. I found your channel a couple months ago and loved the aviation content, and now your getting into video and film. I think thats an awesome combo and I can't wait to see all your future content on both topics. Loving it Stef!!

[@StefanDrury]

Thanks for leaving that comment Nicholas, that means a lot. I'm trying to keep the content as varied and interesting as I can, so it's not all just video after video of me "in a plane". So to hear that feedback is really motivating, cheers, stef

[@pspdrones2847]

Nicholas Smith check out me channel

[@nyazillagojira7079]

Great, straight to the point, easy to understand. Like it. Keep it up.

[@scottneedleman6511]

An even better way to lock exposure is to set 1 of your remotes custom buttons to AEL (auto exposure lock). Get drone into position. Face camera at ground and hit AEL button. Then compose shot again.

[@imvick1505]

best tips that do actually help me. Thank you so much:)

[@theproulxfamily5709]

thank u for sharing! im still practising my dji spark drone

[@seansteede]

Great simple advice. I really appreciate your simple approach to shots - much of the "tips" online tend to advertise as cinematic but remain still too difficult to manage for basic users like myself. This is solid advice in this video.

[@MrMuppetbaby]

Yes! Very helpful thanks mate!

[@elliottb7367]

Great tips! Can't wait to try them out with my spark.

[@ChrisParayno]

Great tips. The best one being the point about harping about not making your drone footage look like drone footage! I love my spark and had it over a year. All great pointa.

[@luxemdrone]

Good tips! Thanks! Such good value for money!

[@neilocoop]

[@DennisMeetsWorld]

This was excellent!! Thank you so much for sharing!! 🙏

[@ashventures7946]

Great video man! I’ve subbed! One of the things I like to do with my Spark is use the gimbal to pan down slowly when moving forward. Love doing that to focus on an object 👊🏼

[@EdKrisiak]

Great tips!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jordan-leemccarthy8805]

Great video 👍 some golden tips

[@thedave7760]

Start with a nice still frame and hold for at least 10 seconds then do your smooth move and hold for another 10 or 15 seconds. When you get to the edit suite you will have more options.

[@ZJProductionHK]

Fantastic !

[@SR-my2wf]

Thanks bro 👍

[@yossiarias6791]

Great video and very helpful tips Stefan. Thank you! You have a new subscriber :-)

[@CreatorJMViD]

I love this drone thanx for sharing

[@anthonydeal784]

Lovely video thanks for the tips, I think getting used to the sensitivity of the camera control wheel on the controller helps, I’ve found that you have to be so gentle with it to get shots that pan up and down. Thanks for showing me the benefits of the manual settings I’m going to try that out today

[@marestraveling]

thank you so much for these tips

[@ClairPlaysBass]

Great tips!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Hi Stefan, I am glad I came across your video, very nicely done. Your explanation is clear, shots are beautiful, video is nicely flowing. I loved it. I do have drone, but still in a box.. lol... next week is the first week I am going to start using it. I've been doing photography for many years and video some time now so I cannot wait to add this gear to my collection. Thank you for the tips. I do agree with all of them. I am all about slow steady nice shot without revealing that this was done with a drone. Cheers.

[@StefanDrury]

Hey Zdenka, it's great to have you here on the channel. Yeah get that drone out of its box and into the air! I'm sure with your photography experience you can start to get some awesome footage. Good luck and enjoy flying it, and thanks for watching, stef 👍
