Shooting a Golf Course Drone Flyover | Tips from a Licensed Pilot | DJI Mavic 2 Pro

In this video we explain how we plan, scout, and execute a drone flyover at a golf course using the DJI Mavic 2 Pro. We discuss the importance of safety, not interfering with golfers, achieving proper camera exposure, and determining flight path.

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching Chris!

Great video. Just wondering what do you typically charge for an 18 hole golf course. Just a basic fly through each hole and 1 picture of each green from birds eye view

Thanks for the video. I am a beginner drone flyer and I hope to video local golf courses.

Thanks for watching, and best of luck to you in your drone flying!

How do they follow golf balls as they fly through the air?

Thanks for sharing. Super under rated channel. subbed! Can you do a video on how to plan the shoot for a golf tournament: cameras, setting, lighting, etc... Thanks!

[@MeridianMedia]

Thanks for the comment, Jonathan! A tutorial about shooting golf tournaments is a great idea that we'll add to our queue of future video topics.

@@MeridianMedia yes! Your gold video is great, please share how it’s done. It would be big help For someone looking to do golf vlogging like me.

What speed and height do you usually fly at for these shots? Specifically the low angle flight. Thanks!

[@MeridianMedia]

Thanks for watching! It all depends on how much time we have for each hole, but in general we try to capture three different altitudes. For the lower angles, something around 15 meters is a good starting place. For speed, moving at a pace that’s quick enough to keep it engaging but also not so fast that the viewer doesn’t have time to absorb the details of the hole. We generally film in 30fps and export the finished video in 24fps, which affords us the ability to adjust the speed of the clips to 80%. Hope this was helpful, and best of luck to you!
