My Top 10 DJI Drone Shots (SPARK & MAVIC AIR)

[@idestis]

Number two and first one. They are unbelievable!

[@padaoanmarlon4305]

I presently had my new Spark and I really liked and enjoyed your shots and tutorials. Hope to see more of your beautiful and stunning shots.

[@JoshSDouble]

Coastline is always a winner for me. Those Dorset shots are incredible!

[@FrancisDarracott]

Yeah Dorset is the most beautiful place :)

[@christianedvardsson]

Your greatest shots by so far...more to come 👌🏼💙

[@lukesnappydunn]

Love number four ... really does look so cool how the water is so still !! Just upgraded my spark to the mavic pro it’s amazing !!

[@keybmx]

I think number 4 is the one for me , in Ireland , that was incredible!

[@HelintonDias]

Thanks a lot for sharing with us such amazing shots!

[@markledingham4942]

Wow, how amazing! Drones are the thing (even though I have to wait for something like this). Terrific shots, Francis!

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thank you so much Mark :)

[@WhosPhotoTube]

Yes, Number one for me too. You have an eye when flying the drone keep it up, and more please.

[@RGMGFitness]

My personal favorite is still Bridal Vail Falls. Just a spectacular falls! Can only hope to see it in person as well.

[@FrancisDarracott]

You should visit the falls if you ever head over to NZ! :)

[@fergalclohessy2233]

Loved this :) no.4 is easily my favourite being Irish. keep them coming mate!!! You're a natural

[@curtismattingly7505]

Good to see you back man! Awesome and very well done. Keep it coming. You inspire me! Just subscribed!!!!!!!

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thanks Curtis. Hope you enjoy my future videos

[@bobtyson1423]

Absolutely Amazing. Great work. Makes me feel good about my spark, knowing that is the subject matter and skills of the operator.

[@VimaniViews]

Who said spark was a toy drone? Extraordinary work Francis!

[@EgasRS]

Excellent video... Happy to have you back in to this type of videos...

[@dayday16crazy]

Good to see you back Vloging. As always amazing video

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thanks. I hope you enjoy future vlogs

[@sfessen]

Absolutely well done. Glad you are back and posting again. Truly inspirational.

[@aledevans3029]

Gap of Dunloe is an amazing place. I visited before I bought my drone and actually planning on going back to get some spark footage. Great video again dude. I find them very inspiring.

[@rajivanlogajay]

I loved your video.❤️❤️ awesome drone shots.❤️❤️❤️

[@pabloemms]

You've given me a ton of inspiration to get some great shots with my new spark ! We were on Sandbanks beach, not that busy but I wish now I'd got my drone up in the air now the shots would have been stunning.

[@shankledan]

You have such amazing footage! I think #4 is my favorite. Nice work!

[@nickcummins2053]

Wow so inspirational, I want to head out right now with my DJI Mavic Air and take some video.

[@FrancisDarracott]

You should!!!!

[@pabloemms]

Loved the Lulworth shots. We were there (in Dorset) for the week and I took my Spark to fly at Lulworth, unfortunately I saw a 'no drone flying' sign.

[@frodobrown]

Excellent Francis, some brilliant footage in that collection, well done mate. For me it was no 4 the Atlantic Way. I live in Poole, Dorset and that sunset at Sandbanks is awesome. For some reason we do see those dramatic sunsets across the bay, but only dramatic like that in the spring or late autumn. Great channel I’ve picked up a few tips from you for my Spark, which I love. I’ve got a few cycling adventures coming up so armed with the Spark and a digital I hope to record them. I’m getting better slowly.

[@zx7rp1]

Inspirational stuff there. Hopefully be able to up my drone game a bit using your tips! Much love

[@DonJoyce]

Well done! Great shots, but even better dissection of why they were great and some of the techniques you used. And your enthusiasm is contagious!

[@robmottram2341]

Great shots, love the rolling Dorset hills. Itching to take the Air out now! 👍🏻

[@Dahnewf]

Fantastic shots! All of them! Truly inspiring, always learn something and look forward to improving my creative content!

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thank you so much

[@TuskenRaider72]

Loved #3!!!!

[@AmeliaHeldt]

SO much SPARK GOODNESS!!!

[@CJRFPV]

amazing shots, that's for sure. but since I'm mostly into sunsets, the #7 is a #1 for me 👍

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thanks you dude!

[@stephencruz8826]

Totally agree with your rankings. Love the shots!

[@ashleightritton9391]

Awesome man, been having problems with motivation and inspiration, once again i watch your vids and i'm re charged, cheers!

[@frankiewallace6432]

Amazing footage very well done mate ive taken some great videos now with the spark from learning from you and im really pleased with it. just want to put clips together now it will take time but im sure it will look great when im done. Great to see you back at what you do best and thanks again for all the helpful tips.

[@grzegorzr.9490]

Super shots bro.

[@jphoneography430]

Hey Francis, Jeremy here again. logged on my other channel is all. Such beautiful footage you have obtained. The bonus of traveling around and getting great landscape shots. all footage with both the spark and mavic did a great job capturing such sureen imagery. Love it.

[@prodreamer8836]

Thank you ,loved it!

[@chriss665]

A great video Francis, for me I think the Dorset shots take a lot of beating, and the spark for what it cost is a fantastic drone, I have got to get more use out of mine and as I live on the Isle of Wight I want to do some shots over the Needles area

[@rogerdvorak3582]

Great work Francis,the last clip Durdle Door was that above the spur that the door is under.. been there but couldn't recognize it. Keep up the great work.. Cheers

[@niteshagrawal4apr]

I loved number 4

[@MadDonJuan]

[@terryandteresa]

Good to see you man. It's been awhile. I miss your sunny personality and great drone shots!!👍😉

[@weddingstoriesfilm7203]

Spark shots very good 👍

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thank you man. Hope you enjoy my future uploads

[@LubuFilms4k]

This are the best droneshots I have ever seen! I'm really looking forward to you next videos!!

[@bvaldes8791]

Glad you’re back.Those were some of the most beautiful footages I’ve seen yet. Keep them coming, Thank you for sharing them. 👍👍

[@spencerboaz2385]

For sure ten awesome shots . Your so lucky to be able to get to these awesome places to video . I have trees and water , , , and more trees and water , , , and , well . I could sure use some help with the color and my mavic , just seem bland washed out color . Those are some awesome shots you have , very beautiful .

[@BHO1811]

All are really great shots! How high was your drone in the number 1? I always wonder how high I should fly. Too high and you don’t have enough movement; too low and you don’t get a beautiful view!

Dam looks so good.

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thank you man

[@TwoEstonianBeards]

All 10 shots are epic, mate!

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thank you guys

[@SlayerWalleye]

Wow, gorgeous footage! Good job

[@jorgeegb]

great great work, really inspiring

[@RonaldBrown59]

Great shots, thanks for sharing them.

[@Somkatoozi]

Beautiful video

[@FrancisDarracott]

Cheers :)

[@magnusmarkgard]

Wonderful shots. Are you using any ND filters on your drones?

[@furiouzzzz]

He uses, color grading more likely than any ND filter

[@kingdibbe]

The purpose of ND filters is to be able to use the correct shutter speed for your frame rate. It has nothing to do with colors or color grading.

[@furiouzzzz]

ColtoN899 he didn use any nd filters then

[@OnyxDragun]

In other videos he has said he makes use of ND filters on the Spark anyway

[@some3ody]

Spark for the top shot ! Amen ! :)

[@FrancisDarracott]

She's a beast

[@HappyCarlsonsTV]

Love this drone footage! Yes, all of it :)

[@RaymondSprW]

Amazing!!!!!!!!

[@mynameisneb]

Excellent! Which do you like more for photography and which for video, the spark or the mavic air? Also I posted a video using my spark. First attempt at video

[@mrjportman]

Love your video and work. Well done! Quick question: how did you create the wide screen effect as seen for shot 5 and 4? (Probably others too)

[@alanjackson4646]

Beautiful.

[@ericbeauboucher1010]

Hello francis, yours footages is very beautifull,i prefere the number 1 , the spark is a fantastic drone , good night , your french fan ...

[@shyamgopi1955]

Love it

[@jonclegg8903]

Another great upload. Did you get any aggro when you flew the drone at Lulworth? I was in Weymouth the other week with my spark and would have taken it for a quick flight there but there are warnings from the National Trust on their sites about not being allowed to fly there (Lulworth Castle and Durdle Dor). Any chance you could do a video on optimal camera settings for both spark and air in different lighting conditions? It would be helpful to see your tips on this as I’ve only flown the spark a couple of times and find it a bit of a faff sussing out the iso etc.

[@kennethpearson2938]

I think you will find that Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are owner by the Weld Estate (who own Lulworth Castle), not the National Trust. It is a pity they won't allow drones there.

[@Vloggleboxtv]

Great video mate i was wondering where the first shot was taken in ireland when i saw it on one of previous videos 👍

[@SamandKelly]

Stoked you are posting again!! Love your content

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thanks Sam! So great to see these lovely comments

[@SimonMain]

Awesome video!!! But how do you colour grade your drone footage? It looks so sick! Did you use a LUT? Thanks for your answer :)

[@dronermx4317]

heeeyyyy Francis!!! welcome back to your channel friend!!!!

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thank you :)

[@rpsc5076]

Did you use ND Filters for your spark footages?

[@musicka013]

AND WAY TO GO “SPARK”!!!!!!!!!

[@FrancisDarracott]

She's underrated!

[@ManulaJayawardana]

Your work inspires me! ❤️

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thanks Manula!

[@SimonMain]

Wow amazing shots 😍

[@musicka013]

EPIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thanks dude!

[@funtych]

What is the nature of the glitch at 0:44 ? Look at the car in the top third of the frame, it's hopping or even teleporting)

[@anuttamgrandhi]

Hi Francis Can you tell the resolution and FPS you use?

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Love seeing some Dorset shots

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thanks Louise! Dorset miss's you!

[@nadersafwan3564]

Want the bluest water? Come to Ticino, in Switzerland, and met the Verzasca river ;)

[@himurarief]

i love my dji spark..

[@clackersclarke4450]

Great. The sunset shot #7 you said the footage was 30fps taken on the spark slowed down to 24fps. Can give me your quickest explanation for this. Detailed is also ok. cheers.

[@OnyxDragun]

You need to come to BC and Alberta to see some really blue water ;) Too bad you cant fly drones in the national/provincial parks without a commercial permit.

[@irunovermountains]

What’s the benefit of shooting with a high frame rate?

[@nastynetz]

Nice !!!!

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thanks Marcus

[@jsunc4359]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@hunter_pauley]

Which drone do you grab for the most though?

[@GarthScaysbrook]

Awesome :)

[@alexanderslifestyle3490]

Men you should try aerial shot in Philippines !

[@Mopi86]

What resolution are you general using? Cheers

[@FrancisDarracott]

1920x1080. for the most part dude.

[@Mopi86]

Francis Darracott appreciate your quick answer mate 💪🏻

[@humanarchitecture]

DRONE SHOTE !!!

[@morganmorris2698]

What’s the song on number 8

[@josepseto9043]

Out of no 1, i will reverse the list 😊

[@kazekozo8life472]

nd filter use? i;m japanese 英語はわかりません　　sorrey

[@heyjules8]

Great top ten! What do you think of this video edit of shots I took with my DJI Spark during a car rally? (see last video in my channel)

[@TonysTravel]

Proper job

[@FrancisDarracott]

YES!!!!!!!! Welcome my dude

[@Bathingwookie]

LOG?

[@andypulkrabek840]

Such a good video Francis!! You have some many great shots!! You should totally share your awesome flight and footage over at AirVuz!! AirVuz is one of the best places for viewing and sharing drone vids on the internet! Go check AirVuz out!!

[@chipoglesby]

I think there might be a typo in your thumbnail. Shote might need to be shots.

[@FrancisDarracott]

Hahah, I'm sooooo blind

[@chipoglesby]

@@FrancisDarracott no worries. Happens to me all the time. I'm loving the videos! I got a spark for Christmas, so I've been watching all of your videos for tips and advice!!

[@muhamadrezaldi]

INDONESIA :D

[@FrancisDarracott]

I love Indonesia :D

[@gushSP]

[@LewisBassettDV]

Great video Francis, could you possibly give me some feedback on my videos? Thanks, Lewis.
