Join me on my real life UA-cam journey with drones and video editing...
DRONES! DJI Mini 3 Pro, Mini 4 Pro, Air 3, and Avata 2 (when I can get a spotter! 🙄) + some basic video editing - what have they all got in common? Keywords to get in the beginning of your channel description for SEO.... apparently....
If you're reading this then I've obviously sparked your curiosity, so go ahead and hit that subscribe button, and join me every couple of weeks for a stroll down DJI Boulevard - if it's our first date, I promise no funny stuff, I'll just stick to hand holding 😂
A combination of vlog / how do I? / tips and tricks / reviews and 'learn along with me' type stuff (and learn from my mistakes!), but always centred around the drone hobby.
Rather than me being the font of all knowledge, let's learn together and have a bit of a laugh along the way.
I know what I know, but I'm too old to know everything! 😉 🚁
Fly safe, fly happy, fly my pretties, fly! (Bit odd, but that's just me!)

Welcome 👍🖖
Love that presentation style... chilled out, but full of nice techy stuff and cool aerials. Excellent work...
Thankyou Jaaaaa(I've used up all my of 'a's)y! Very nice to hear from you!. Glad you enjoyed the video 🤗🖖
Haha loved the intro and your humor. God bless you, thanks for a great video! 🙏🏻
Thankyou so much - really appreciate your comment. May your God go with you 💗🖖
I love your t-shirt. Back of the net!
Jurassic Park! You are one of the few people that would get that reference! Fancy a pint later on? Nope, neither do I thankyou... 😂🖖
@@amoktimeflies Classics! I'm going to watch some right now!
Voice is too close. Don't want to hear all that stuff.
OK - good to know. Although in my defence I have absolutely mental dogs 3 doors down that tend to go on a tirade of barking if they so much as sense me moving! But thanks for the feedback. 🐕🐩🐶🖖
I don't have a problem with your 'close' presentation style. Stick with it, it suits you. (From a radio presenter of 27 years experience)
Aww thankyou so much - as someone who's only been doing this sort of stuff for a year that genuinely boosts my confidence - thankyou! If you have any tips on tweaking the EQ they would be most welcome! (edit: BTW - you wouldn't believe how many 'breathy' and 'mouth' sounds I had to cut out of it!)💖🖖
@@amoktimeflies keep having fun with your channel. I got lots of snide comments over the years and with live radio, there were plenty of fist chewing moments of embarrassed regret. But I learnt to adopt a shell of "I don't care what you think - I'm having a blast!" I like your videos... I can't be the only one, so crack on. As for technical tips... don't ask me, I was just a gob on a stick (now retired). It all sounds OK to me.
Another super fantastic video. You are really pleasantly crazy😂😂🤣🤣. Thanks for the very good information.
Thankyou - "Pleasantly Crazy" 🤣 I think I might get that engraved on my gravestone! 😉🖖
Great video, I have only flown my my mini 4 once at night so far but after watching this i am feeling a little inspired.
Thankyou - yeh - it's all about practice really and just tryingh to methodically plan it. That said, once the hyperlapse is executing, it does just involve a lot of just standing around looking up! 😂 Have fun and keep it in VLOS 😉🖖
Just subscribed. Love the video and the entertainment you made me laugh with your sense of humour, plus I learned from your video. Thank you for putting a smile on my face from a windy York. PS I will catch up with the rest of your videos Tam.
Thanks Tam - glad you enjoyed it - it was a bit of a ramble TBH but I got there in the end! 😂😂😂 Thanks for the sub as well! Sorry to hear you're having trouble with wind! I'll be doing a vid about that soon - kindof have to, as I've been sent an anemometer to review (and I always though it was a device for measuring pineapples! 🤔) All the best! 🖖
Those hyperlapse videos are quickly becoming one of my favorites.
Hehe - yeh - I’m a bit of a hyperlapse addict myself! Thanks for watching Kyle! 🖖
Awesome video!! Really like all you cover and explain!!! 😀👍🐾🐈⬛👏👏👏🍻
Cheers Chris! - I jump about a bit in it and it’s got hints of ‘stream of consciousness’ to it, but I’m glad you liked it 😁🖖
I have been trying a lot of right before sunrise shots and right before sunset shots. I hear you about being ready with all your batteries and trying to get your timing right. Love your new camera 📷. So what if you don’t see a profit before you head off to the old folks home 😂 Your son will love using it! 😂🤣🖖
Perfect ASMR-Drone-Video for hanging the laundry. Love it ;-)
Haha - thanks Markus - had to keep quiet because of the neighbours dogs! 😂 🖖
Amazing video! I learned a lot with your video! What app do you use for editing? I'm looking for try this in one of my projects! Thanks a lot!!!
@@BPDrones Thank you so much - glad you found it helpful. I use Davinci Resolve (linked in description and pinned comment) but most mainstream video editing apps should have similar functions. One tip I’ve learnt since making this video - if you have ‘opacity’ settings (see my vid on capturing a sunset) change the top video track to 50% opacity and you can use that to line the shots up as well! All the best!🖖
@@amoktimeflies I'm going to use all these tips! Thank you!!! All the best for you!!!
Such a good video on editing the transition from day to night! It looks awesome! I love the humor you add to your videos. Keep up the good work!
Aww thank you Matey - that’s really nice to hear! thanks for watching 😁🖖
@amoktimeflies Were you using a LP filter for the night shot? I'm just not sure if I really need one or not.
@kylebuse5323 nope - no LP filter - I’m not sure if they’re worth it or not really - especially when shooting the stuff that is the cause of light pollution. Personally think they are more for astrophotography, but willing to try one out if Freewell decided to send me one (although judging on the performance of my last Freewell collab vid I think this is unlikely! 😂) 🖖
@@amoktimeflies 😂😂
timelapse shows time speeding up in a fixed view, while a hyperlapse adds the element of camera movement, making it more visually dynamic. your video is about shooting a timelapse, not hyperlapse
Technically Correct! 👍 Although on the drone’s function it’s still called a hyperlapse, so let’s split the difference and call it a ‘longlapse’ 😉 Look out for the next vid coming soon where I will definitely be doing a hyperlapse 😁 Thanks for watching and subscribing, Nunya! 🖖
@@amoktimeflies haha fair enough. No worries with subbing too. Keep up the good work 👍
@@amoktimefliesafter watching, I didn't recall at sunset to do this. Memorylapse is my middle name. 😅
@CarryTheTruth I was thinking of renaming this to reflect how professional it was…. But then I thought better of it… 😂😂😂
lower the opacity of the top layer to align them much easier must try it
Thanks Chaz! yep - I agree - that's an awesome tip an many others have mentioned it, so it's already in the pinned comment. Don't worry - I rarely check pinned comments myself! 🤣. I also used that method in my subsequent (slightly sketchy 😂) video on capturing a sunset and credited the people that gave me that tip. I've also started using it for syncing up screen recordings with drone footage - check out my most recent vid where I did that. Cheers & Thanks for watching! 🖖
Monkey tennis? Aha!
Jurassic Park! I need a new one really - Inner City Sumo? Thanks for watching🖖
This was a great video 👍🏻
Thankyou Buddy! Was a fun one to make! 😉🖖
Hi there, it's probably a silly question, but here goes. I watched this video and thought I'd give it a go. So, you end up with three folders of hyperlapse videos, which all have the same name. So, when I try to put them into DaVinci, it won't let me do this. Can you help me, please?
Hi Clive - Don't worry - I know exactly what you you're talking about and it confused me when I first did hyperlapses too! The 'HYPERLAPSE' folder actually (and confusingly!) just contains each individual photo the drone takes for each hyperlapse. You just need to check your DCIM folder and you should find the finished hyperlpases in there - you will probably have .lrf files, (Low Resolution Files) created for reviewing on the Remote - the files you want to download and then bring in to Davinci are the .mp4 files (you can delete the .lrf files). Note - you *can* use these for building the hyperlapse manually in DR, but that's slightly advanced stuff that I haven't got a handle on yet, and need to spend some time on before I make a vid about it. That should have you sorted (and you've also anticipated a tip I'm going to be including in a vid that's in production at the moment! 😂). If you do have any other issues though or the above isn't clear feel free email me through the channel and I'll be happy to provide further help with screenshots etc... 🖖
Hi there, thanks for the reply. I'll have a look there. Good luck with the new video, and thanks for the info, @amoktimeflies.
Every time I watch a video featuring the Avata 2 it pushes me a little closer to clicking the "buy now" button. I know I'll end up purchasing one so I might as well just do it. Another great video Amok.
Cheers Buddy - Just make sure you have someone on hand to act as your observer/spotter otherwise it'll be sat on the shelf rather a lot!🖖
Amok you should have way more subscribers in my opinion. I find your content very enjoyable and even relaxing for some reason. I find your self-deprecating humor to be quite hilarious and the overall content to be very informative and educational. I am on a mission to watch and comment on as many of your videos as I can to hopefully influence the algorithm to push your content higher up on other drone enthusiasts recommended to watch lists. I have no idea if that's even how that works but from what I understand it can help at least a little. Keep up the great work. I have a list of about ten content creators that I always look forward to new videos from and you are in the top three. Have a great day.
You are too kind..... Top 3???!!!! (I guess that means I'm at number 3 then! 😂) Who's number 1 and 2 and when is the UA-camr boxing match scheduled for?🤣🤣🤣 No, seriously, thankyou so much for your kind comments - It's truly lovely to hear feedback like that and makes it all worth it! If you're working your way through the back catalogue, I will apologise now for some of my earlier non-waffly stuff, although you will still probably find it relaxing and interesting. And yes - every view, like, comment and sub helps - sharing and adding to a playlist helps even more I think. If you get bored whilst watching any of the early ones, just leave it running and go and make a cup of coffee or something - that helps with the retention rate 😉 Thanks again! Amok🖖
@@amoktimeflies Too be honest I just didn't want to sound to corny by telling you that you are actually number one. I didn't want it going to your head. 🤣🤣 Its a tight race though so continue to bring your A-game.
Ah …Avebury and Silbury hill…. My most favourite place ! Great fun video as always Cheers Mark 👍
Thanks Mark! Yeh been wanting to video there for ages - you wouldn’t believe the day (and night!) I had doing that and the Mini 4 Pro vs Air 3 night mode - hectic! Cheers!🖖

Hehe - someone's having a binge tonight! 😉Appreciate it Mark - thankyou so much! Sometimes these run and gun vids are the most fun (but sooo hard to edit!)🖖
@@amoktimeflieslol.. yes bud… a bit of an overdue catchup… great video though mate… really enjoyed it. And i can appreciate how much time the editing can take. That’s normally where the time just gets eaten up on mine.
Thank you Sir very inspirational. I may obtain my 1st drone as soon as I look into my local ordinances and community guidelines first. Don't want the U.S. bobbys "FAA" showing up to seize my drone or put me in the clink. They are getting so much more power hungry over here since covid.
You are very welcome mate and thanks for watching! You should be perfectly safe with anything under 250g as long as you fly by the FAA rules - here's a bit of a rabbit hole for you to explore 😉: www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_flyers For when you do get your drone, a few people have found the vid linked below helpful : ua-cam.com/video/zQ5g2pSgcQ4/v-deo.htmlsi=GTXWeLdHTgyKzvix If the bug really bites you, you may want to take your part 107 as well as this gives you more flexibility with your flights and also allows you to perform commercial work (roof surveys, real estate etc). pilotinstitute.com/part-107-reasons/#:~:text=The%20FAA%20allows%20Part%20107,without%20an%20anti%2Dcollision%20light) Best of luck!🖖
Amok, today I discovered another mystery, I calibrated my drone and as I took off all commands froze, only obstacles avoidance was functioning and I could not catch drone by hand and had to wait battery to exhaust , drone was raised about 3 m height. Upon low batter signal it changed landing position about six meters away. How ever after recalibration all commands were in order.
@@nardesh127 did you try switching it to sport mode - if it won’t descend when I’m hand catching I normally do that. I had a weird thing last night as well - went to rerun a waypoint hyperlapse from a previous night and it started off going up then started descending rapidly past the trees so it went out of sight - stopped it at 27m height and brought it home, but boy was my heart racing! Seems our little buddys still want to surprise us occasionally! 🖖
Really enjoyed this video bud… we must join up at some point… Cheers Mark
Thanks Mark! Yeh sounds good - drop me an email..🖖
Comment and Question: Great video and I appreciate the mix of information and humor. That was humor, right? :) So you mention you were using 3 batteries, were these the sub 249 batteries or the Plus batteries? Thanks a million sir.
Hey Larry! Thankyou so much - Yes it's the kind of self deprecating humour us Brits have drilled into us from birth, so it comes quite naturally! And secondly - It's almost impossible here in the UK and EU to get the Plus batteries, so nope - those were the standard batteries with roughly about 20 (terribly tortured) charge cycles each. Thanks for you comment! All the best! 🖖
How you can resume your hyperlapse for changing battery
It's basically 3 hyperlapses taken one after the other - the trick is to get the battery changed double quick and then get the drone back up in the air to exactly the same position and start the same hyperlapse again. Thanks for watching!🖖
Nice video, I’m going to try this myself!
@@bunkermagnus cool! Can’t wait to see it! (Gotta be better than mine! 😂) 🖖
You know, that you can change the Direction the Drone is facing after locking in the course when doing a Hyperlapse in Course Lock mode? Your left to right hyperlapse is way faster to start and you can do a 500 shot Hyperlapse on one battery this way - no need for setting waypoints first - it is my most used way to do hyperlapses ^^
Thanks for pointing that out! Yeh - I am planning on going into a deeper dive on the hyperlapse functions in the future - this was more of a quick summary. Might take a bit of practice to do a 500 shot course lock left to right - would need to do a bit of maths to make sure I don’t accidentally go BVLOS!. Thank for your comment & thanks for watching!🖖
@@amoktimeflies depends on the speed and your location. But this way you can get sideways motion in pretty good. Worst case: you have to walk a few steps while the drone is flying :D
@ntm_aka_badluck Good tip! Thanks! Will try to remember to mention you in that vid when I do it 😁👍🖖
At the 15:39 mark, what is the green dot on the video
Aha - that's where I'm subconsciously channelling J.J.Abrams - it's a type of lens flare... (like - TOTALLY intentional 🤣) 🖖
Great idea to go Amok on all modes - A quick ref. guide! cool 😁
Thankyou mate - it’s also kindof a ‘10 months on’ and even at this point I’m finding new stuff! It’s just blimmin awesome! ☺️ 🖖
Wot happened to HDR photos? 🤣 Quite a good feature to increase dynamic range of your subject.
@@frankinblackpool Yeh - difficult to differentiate between ‘modes’ and ‘settings’ + I was under a lot of pressure to get everything done in 3 batteries! but every suggestion is great inspiration for another vid! And I plan to do some deeper dives into various modes at some point (with a little less stress! 😂) All the best! 🖖
@@amoktimeflies Technically, you need photo editing software to pull that one off. So, no harm no foul. 🤣
@frankinblackpool That’s where my friend in Brasil came in - they produced the HDR photo from the bracketed images for me. I have a horrible feeling that I may have to get into that though as I have a camera upgrade on my radar (all depends on what DJI decide to do with new releases of drones this year tho 💴 💵 💰) 👍🖖
6th July 2024 - Just had a copyright strike on the music used in the Lightcut edit. Which is why the music cuts over me talking at the end of the Finished Lightcut video as I had to replace it. with something from the YT Audio library and for some reason YT thought the music carried on a bit after it ended. This also happened to me with the DJI Fly editing video that I produced shortly after this one, but I managed to catch that before it went out. It seems that someone in some territory somewhere is secretly buying the rights to what was originally DJIs royalty free music. So just a word of warning - if you plan to use Lightcut or DJI Fly (and very probably DJI Mimo) for editing UA-cam vids and have a monetised channel, you might want to pick a music track from a third party such as the UA-cam Audio library where you KNOW the music will DEFINITELY be royalty free. I'll probably do a vid about that... 🖖
Can you film mastershots in DLOG-M?
Good question - I’m *almost* sure you can, but I think you need to set it to DLOG-M first, even if your normal video settings are on it, but you have me intrigued - I’ll have a check when I get back from work in a few hours and let you know 👍🖖
@@amoktimefliesThank you. We just came back from the dolomites and all the normal video is DLogM but the Mastershots and Quickshots are hyper saturated and awful, which is frustrating - didn't realise the video settings don't apply across the board!
@DigiDriftZone yeh - I’ve been caught out with that before - once they are set in that particular mode it normally ‘sticks’ for every time you use it BUT sometimes a firmware update resets everything (which is annoying!) 🖖
@@amoktimeflies No, no, I mean all regular video footage is fine, it did not get reset after firmware update. But Quickshots/Mastershots are not DlogM, maybe those need to be set separately, is that even possible? I just tried to do this in the settings, but it won't let me see/change any settings for mastershot or quickshot until the aircraft is in flight, frustrating!
@@DigiDriftZone I’m on the bus back from work right now, but will check as soon as I get home 😂🖖
Great info wish I had teachers at my old school like you 😅
What? Fat, bumbling and barely coherent? 😂 Thanks for watching Johnny! 🖖
Try the course lock hyperlapse with a selected point of interest. The drone will pan around the point of interest as it flies past. Thank you for these videos! The quintessential British humor keeps it interesting and fun!
Ah! Good shout! Will stick that in my (inevitable 😂) in depth hyperlapse vid Thanks! 🖖
Nice summary of the drone and always nice humor. You don't see many others.
I really appreciate that, thankyou 😊Glad you enjoyed it!🖖
Superb Amok, great sharing mate, really useful video, lots of information and entertaining aswell, what more could you want! Haha that circle hyperlapse was fast! Great job mate, have a brilliant week 👍
Cheers buddy! Yeh - kinda misjudged the settings on that one didn’t I 😂 🖖
@@amoktimeflies you’re welcome mate, haha yea maybe just a little! Brilliant watch though, thoroughly enjoyed that 👍
Great video and so many modes - great job explaining all of them - can't think of any, if any you missed - lots of info. Many thanks for sharing
Cheers Shaun! - the only other one that occured to me was long exposure shots, but I guess that more of a ‘setting’ than a mode…🖖
You are very good at this, friend! Many here are not. Conciseness is worth its weight in gold. It just heightens the potency of valuable information about what we want to learn, in order to gain the needed skills. I'm so tired of the fluff and filler, stock music, animated logs, and TV Style intros.
Thankyou so much for your comments, Odinata. Every style has its place and I have been known to completely waffle on sometimes! But there was an awful lot to cram into this video! All the best 🖖
I always really enjoy these videos Amok. Thank you for sharing.
You’re most welcome - glad you enjoyed it! 🖖
Another great video. I've learnt to expect nothing less from you. Well done 👍
Aww thankyou mate - that’s really nice to hear 😊 🖖
LOL at the circle hyperlapse
I know right?!🤣 As it started setting off I thought 'I've REALLY miscalculated this!' 🤣Lesson learnt - WIDE circle, SLOW speed! Cheers Stuart! 🖖
Oh and if you slow down the second one to 0.25 speed you can really see what an idiot I am 😂😂😂🖖
