VLOG 19 – DJI Mavic 2 Zoom

 

Summary of my next video

As a kid I wanted to fly remote control helicopters or planes. Now that I’m an adult, I want to fly drones! After watching countless YouTube videos reviewing the most popular models of drones, I settled on the Mavic 2 Zoom.

  • The reason I wanted a drone
  • Why the Mavic 2 Zoom?
    • Safety
    • Positive reviews
    • Was at the top of my price range
    • Wanted the optical zoom feature
  • What I’ve learned about drones generally
    • Regulations on where to fly being a bummer
    • Hard to get used to trusting the screen display
    • Flying further and higher (anywhere out of direct eyesight scares me)
    • To get the best picture you need ND filters
    • Shoot in 60 fps if you can
    • Color grade your drone footage
    • Make slow turns and pans
  • My favorite shots so far and how I got them
    • Cape Horn Trail
    • Moulton Falls
    • Yale Lake
  • Story about cutting my finger
  • Commercial examples (Bond video, work building)
  • What I like about this drone
    • Safety (to a point, explain the obstacle avoidance pros and cons
    • Image quality
    • Timelapse mode
    • Cinematic modes
    • Small size, quiet
  • What i dislike about it
    • Magnetic interference
    • Gimbal becoming uncalibrated easily
  • Would i recommend it and for who?
    • Yes! For anyone looking for a drone that is near top of the line
    • For newbies who may be scared to crash
