The drone footage is choppy due to not having any filters for the lens to decrease the shutter speed. Another excited purchase in the near future! Edit: SOLVED! Frame rate on DaVinci Resolve timeline was off. Main camera at 24fps and drone footage at 30fps

You're not alone there, Liam. I did exactly the same thing loading my footage in to Cyberlink Powerdirector.😁New subscriber, loving the landscape.👍I'd suggest practicing hand launching/catching your drone (videos online) as your props will last longer. Take-off and landing can (depending on surface) throw up a lot of minute debris that can damage them over time.

@@PaddyStubbs70 thank you subscribing!

[@PaddyStubbs70]

@@LiamGalashan My pleasure, Liam. Looking forward to catching up with more of your videos.

I just got my mini 3 pro in today and man I am impressed with it. First drone for me. Technology can be amazing sometimes

[@daveybeeps]

I really enjoyed your video Liam, amazing landscape and unbelievable quality drone.

[@LiamGalashan]

It is very good quality! Thank you

[@liamminerYT]

Awesome! New gear always comes with new learning - I'm excited for you and excited to see more drone footage from the UK! I'm looking to get a drone later this year (gotta save up first, haha), and refurbished sounds like a good idea.

[@LiamGalashan]

Thank you! I would definitely recommend this drone, however you’ll have to consider the extra costs of more batteries and a good SD card. Refurbished is the best idea as long as it’s from a reputable seller or you are confident in buying from a second hand dealer on eBay. It ain’t cheap (at least I don’t think it is), but £500 can take you far with drones these days

[@Piratepoilet]

Good to see you have your priorities right, save for it. You appreciate your stuff more when you work hard for it

[@inkyspider1]

hey welcome to the drone world buddy, hope you enjoy your adventure😁

[@LiamGalashan]

Thank you! Loving it so far

[@Druezy]

You got an awesome deal! I love my Mini 3 Pro. It is going to take something really special to make me get something bigger. The size and quality is incredible!

[@LiamGalashan]

I agree. The sensor size is small for low light video and photography but it does a great job regardless! Really great for the money

[@HikeFly22]

Sweet little drone for sure

[@LiamGalashan]

It really is!

[@blackydon]

Nice video.

[@SkyTouch08]

I appreciate the video brother. Mini 3 pro is an awesome video. New Subscriber

[@LiamGalashan]

Thanks! Really appreciate it 🙏

[@podgysnapper5830]

Great stuff Liam. One word of advice. get an elastic hair band so it keeps your propellors tucked in safly and that way you wont break them when putting in your bag.

[@LiamGalashan]

Great advice! At the moment, my fly more combo kit that arrived came with some sort of wrap around case. It’s quite a tight fit so I hope it doesn’t affect the propellers

[@martinfowmes3157]

As a new drone flyer myself I just wondered if you’d gone through the compliance needed? Do you have your operator id for example. And how did you cope with VLOS with all those trees surrounding you? Great views though 😊

[@makesbyryandean]

Ive got the original mavic mini and am looking to upgrade. Tossing up between the 3 and 4 pro........ Welcome to drone photography from Australia. New Subscriber.

[@LiamGalashan]

I think the 4 may be better for tracking and more technology however the sensor I believe is the same in the 3 pro. Either way, they are both brilliant!

[@DroneAJKnights]

Good video I also have mini 3 pro think it's a good little drone New subscriber

[@LiamGalashan]

Thank you! The drone is cracking

[@paulbrown249]

You can adjust your gimbal speed to make it smoother

[@LiamGalashan]

Brill! I haven’t had chance to get out with the drone recently because of the weather but I’ll make a note of that!

[@whotshisface]

Check your SD card is fast enough. Those stutters aren't a lack of filters.

[@LiamGalashan]

That’s interesting! I’ll have a look at other options

[@rogerdenrog]

@@LiamGalashan I shoot in 24FPS but recently watched a video that suggested 30 FPS as it works better with most refresh rates on computers, phones etc. Saying that I use the fastest card available so cannot say whether the card is a problem or not. Filters will allow a lower shutter speed to suit your frame rate (typically double eg 30 FPS 1/60 shutter)

[@LiamGalashan]

@@rogerdenrog yeah I’ve seen the same too. My SD card seems to be the fastest one I can get. Sandisk Extreme. I think my mistake could also have been in DaVinci Resolve where I edit the videos. My camera is at 24 frames while the drone is 30 so it will have affect the export I believe. It’s all a learning curve! Thanks for the comment

[@pspr33]

Came here to say the same thing..

[@rogerdenrog]

@@LiamGalashan In Davinci I have very choppy videos because of the geriatric Mac Book. Creating and editing a proxy sorts that out.

[@CharlieShaw1]

Fly you fools!

[@CharlieShaw1]

You’ve got a what? 😂 haha Dil…?

[@bigearedmouse17]

I have the Mini 2 due to its Cost I would love a Mini 3 pro or even just a Mini 3 alas I just cannot afford one.

[@LiamGalashan]

I got mine second hand which is still pretty much brand new. It is an investment and you’ll have to get more batteries which is more money. Hopefully one day you’ll be able to get it!

[@halninethousand-sh5wc]

Get the mini4pro and rc2 , Enough said ...

[@gobstoppa1633]

does it have a decent zoom on the camera,??

[@LiamGalashan]

It’s digital zoom which essentially crops in and loses quality. I think it’s roughly 2x or 3x

[@szerenity1432]

Mine was because it was on sale in my local store😂
