Excellent tips, mate. Every DJI drone pilot who has a channel needs them. And it's really cool to follow this journey, here's to reaching 1100, 1500, 2000, 5k, and many more followers! You realy deserve it! Oh, we know it's a lot of work, but... friend, I was desperate waiting for a new video 😍
Ian - you have be instrumental in getting this video out! Thankyou so much - it means so much to have someone around that is so supportive of the channel. Hope the Air 3 recovers soon and the battle scars heal quickly! 😉🖖
@@amoktimeflies Thanks buddy, but you would do well either way. The air 3 seems fine, but my emotiotional and confidence, not too much... I'll be better Hahahahah ( I'll need to change propellers and maybe do a hover test )
Absolutely brilliant mate, been waiting for this one 👌 some fantastic information and you made it really enjoyable to watch aswell! Thankyou for taking the time out to do this, you deserved the 1000 subs! Look forward to your next one, have a great weekend! 👍
Very true, everything you say. Brilliant advice - as someone who got monitised late last year, I couldn't find fault in anything you said, even if I wanted to! Heres to your next 1000 👍👍👍
A breath of fresh air - With honest and straightforward advice and information! I've met loads of like minded people from all around the world via Live shows from US drone owners. I'm a bit of a way off from the 1K. I enjoy my videos and getting out and about ... Aerial and terrestrial photography via drones and dslr ... My name might not be on the tip of someone's tongue, so have made other channels - Drone Above Ireland. Onwards and upwards ☘
Thanks for watching and the comment - as I've said in other vids - I'm just a regular guy with a drone and I know what I know (and not much more! 🤣) Cheers mate - your comment means a lot... 🖖
Top 3??!! How dare you! JUST KIDDING!!! 🤣🤣 Sincerely that is really flattering and nice to hear. Thank you, as always, for your kind words and support - you have been along for the journey for ages and I really really appreciate it. Take care buddy! 🔐🔒🔓🐈🐈⬛🖖
Arh just found the genesis of your channel video - knew you were a Trekkie (Amok) You put humour in and that’s the key for me ! unfortunately drones often bring serious channels, there good but , bit of fun and learning is better 👍 Well my spare time is all drones rockets and Xbox ! And dog walking on the sea wall ( here’s a job for the new Dji Neo ) I can’t operate a large standard poodle and a drone at the same time , well I can now with the Neo! So you know I’ll be back . Thanks for sharing 👍
Cheers Ian - yeh - that vid was a labour of love and out of 'niche' so didn't get a lot of traction, but I had to get it out of my system because anyone that is interested in building a UA-cam channel needs to know some of this stuff. Drones, editing, photography and of course my YT channelhave kindof meant that I've virtually not touched my PS5 in about 18 months. Interacting with the YT community, flying drones and editing videos is so much more captivating! As I said in this vid - don't know how long it will go on for, but as long as I enjoy it and don't completely bankrupt myself in the process then I'll live from vid to vid... Thankyou for your comments and support - it genuinely means a lot.... 🖖
It was nice to learn that we started our drone journey at the same time. I hear you when you speak in your video about the challenges a beginner faces. Today, apparently like you, I am addicted to buying DJI drones, lol. Please continue sharing your experiences with humour and show how much fun drones are. Congrats to reaching 1,000 subscribers!
Frank - so nice to hear from you and thankyou so much for taking the time to comment. Drone #4 arriving tomorrow - watch out for the ‘Late To The Party’ unboxing! 😉🖖
I really enjoyed this. Watched it all the way through!! 😂 It was easy to be in your shoes, very familiar stories of progression, doubts and highs. Essentially, the wonder of flying and making short films is a personal journey for everyone to see, if they choose to. It's a wonderful journey and I share your joy. Davey
100% Davey!👍I was just talking to my daughter about that - I enjoy the process and all of the things I learn along the way... The bonus is that I can share that journey with others as well. Thankyou for your lovely comment and for watching! Amok 🖖
Just come across your channel, it resonates with me as I have only a small channel but invested heavily in equipment.i do like the feeling of making content but not for scrounging and mithering people to subscribe ... Oh by the way I have subbed to your channel ... Cheers John 👍
Thanks John - yeh unless a miracle happens there’s unlikely to be a return on investment, but what do enjoy is being able to share my hobby and experiences with people with the added dimension of learning about film making editing and how UA-cam works. One thing I do find is that you do have to remind people to do the old ‘like and subscribe’ if only because I’ve personally found myself watching and enjoying a video but completely forgetting to do it because I’m so into the content! Thanks for the sub and best of luck with your channel!🖖
@@amoktimeflies appreciate you coming back, you have great camera presence which caught my eye.always love the playground of UA-cam and what's out there, take care and look forward to engagement with you 👌🖐️
Nice little video and entreating as always. Now the weather seems to be getting a bit better and fingers crossed I hope to have a bit more time on my hands I might just be able to use mine..... At 18 min in the shot of the cliff/beach is that at highlands end caravan park as took our van there last year and walked down to the beach, looks just like that. Your editing is good and the sound is good to, correct in saying about people will just click off if poor sound as I do that myself. Well all the best and happy YouTubing and flying ( YouTubing?..... now is that a word )
Thanks Ste - yeh that's at Eype's Mouth in Dorset, near Bridport and just west of West Bay. From a series of two very early 'non waffly' vids that I did. I still need to work on the sound - ironically I'm not that happy with it in this vid - I think UA-cam compressed it a bit, even though I checked that it was at the right levels to stop them doing that... Probably some c*ck up I made though... Looking forward to seeing some of your drone footage soon! (Summer seems so flippin late this year!) All the best.. Amok 🖖
Very good question and I'll now make you wish you didn't ask! 🤣 I use the DJI Mic 2 with a lapel mic plugged into it - I bought a relatively cheap one from Amazon for about £13-£16 (Link below) and that seemed good enough, but then I saw that DJI had one at £35 and thought - well surely that's better! Spoiler alert - it's not - don't be tempted - its a piece of poo! The sound is mediocre at best and the length of the wire is WAY too short - very disappointing! So this is the one I'm using now and that I used in this vid - nice long wire, comes with a fluffy wind protector (the DJI one doesn't!) and two adapters - one USB C and one 90degree adaptor . amzn.eu/d/30xu2YS It's a damn good price and significantly better value than that DJI P.O.S. 😉(I'm not getting sponsored by them any time soon am I? 🤣) All the best and thanks for watching!🖖
First of all my friend congrats on the 1k subs! Love the channel so original and comicle😅 Your editing is superb in my opinion! But please don't do one on this new dji mini 2 4k sick of seeing this now😅 atb!
Thanks Paul - and don’t worry - DJI didn’t send me one to review as the channel isn’t big enough yet, a whilst I *am* considering the Avata 2, the Mini 4k is a downgrade from my other 3 drones, much as I love you all, I’m not going to buy it purely to make a video on. That said, the Mini 4k looks like an ideal entry level drone for someone that wants to ‘try out’ the hobby without too much outlay. As always, thanks for watching and your comment 👍🖖
Elite dangerous i lost my life to that game lol great video mate personally my videos are crap but my crap and i don't care lol never gonna monetize "phew" but like you through youtube i have also met so many lovely like minded people ...and a few bangers.....but hey that's the road we travel great video mate loved it ps...im going back to elite dangerous that cutter needs dusting off.
Anacondas all the way for me - had two of them - one for combat one for deep space exploration - did Beagle point twice! (very few people will understand the ridiculous amount of time that takes! 🤣). Thankyou for the comment Cmdr - keep doing what you do! o7 🖖
@@amoktimeflies done beagle point once also managed to land on that crazy planet that has the fastest orbit that was fun had every ship in the game my fave is the corvette fully armed to the teeth lol
Great video just a quick comment were do u get your music from I'm a small UA-camr drone flyer and I do all my editing on my mobile phone (that's all I can afford at moment) I've got about 260 subs at moment. I do use UA-cam music and mention there channel in title etc but I do get copyright claims! Which I'm not botherd all the time but I would like not to, so could u push me in the right direction thanks....
Hi AJ - thanks for watching. So far I also only use the UA-cam audio library for my music as well, but taking a look at a couple of your vids I noticed that you don't credit the artist in your description which is likely why you're getting copyright strikes - especially if the track has a 'Creative Commons' licence. If you scroll to the bottom of the description in any of my vids you'll see the credits there. I always put credits for all of the music even the music where the licence says that it doesn't need attribution, but especially the tracks in the audio library the have a 'CC' in under the licence - you have to click on the 'CC', click 'learn more' and copy and paste the text shown into your video description. So if you're getting copyright strikes when using UA-cam Audio Library tracks, I suspect it ma be because you are using Creative Commons licensed music and haven't credited them in your description with this text. Sorry - bit of a long boring explanation, but I hope that helps and good luck! 🖖
Thanks
