Lol, those birds were trying to take you out!
Excellent content and advice 👏 and thanks for the podcast shout out!
Your content is so amazing! I'm so happy for you
Awesome job Aleesha. Love it . 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻🔥🔥🔥
thank you!!
Such an amazing video! Keep up the good work and great videos it’s so inspiring!
Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic!
Good video and excellent review :)
Great video! Great information shared
Wow, the speed of your flights are amazing!
Always amazing videos and awesome n cool watching these videos 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! 🔥
Great video good job filming and thanks for the info.
Thank you
I noticed your TX16S has the screen on at all times. You can save a little battery life with a quick setting change. The setting is under (SYS / Radio Setup / scroll down to Backlight / change Mode to "Keys" and choose how long you want the screen to stay on). If you need to check screen just roll your jog wheel real quick. This was a really cool video, you fly very smooth and are really good at getting these cinematic shots.
Thank you honestly hahaha the thing is always draining my battery
@@AleeshaFPV in addition, you can also set up a logical switch so that your screen Powers off every time your armed. You can't see the screen while the goggles are on your face anyways, and it's really easy to do. I think JB has a video about it on his channel.. 🙂✌️
@@willpowerfpv3246Thanks so much, appreciate that tip!
I got a slow discharge 2000mAh 2s 5c set to "keys" it last forever, even with a 1000w ELRS module. And it's overall lighter in the hands.
@@AleeshaFPV no problem! It's a great radio, and the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. I've also got it set up so that my crossfire module outputs 25 mw when disarmed, but automatically jumps up to whatever I have set for full power when armed. I just picked up the ag01 gimbals for it, I'm pretty stoked. Keep up the good content. 👍
Cool job. Nice work. 👍
Thanks Tim!
hahaha those birds were like "are you momma bird?!?"
Thank you very much for making this video! It is golden for when someone are going serious with this type of filming. :)
The patreon is also a good addition.
I hoped it would provide some good value!
@@AleeshaFPV I'm sure it will. I just need to be a bit more confident when piloting bigger drones. Starting to take "risks" flying my Tinyhawk II at this point. But bigger is not always better. O.o
@@crashannburnFPV the more stick time the more confident you will be!
@@AleeshaFPV I sure hope so :D
very informative thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome videos !!
Thanks! :D
Awesome!
😜
Excellent video. And good use of the many tools available. FPV is awesome but sometimes not the perfect tool for the job.
Truly depends on the client and their needs!
Thanks for this - I feel like this is the next step for me, although first I need to figure out how to find clients. 😀
if i were you id recommend creating a portfolio. Reach out to some agents and ask if theyd let you film for free just to get some portfolio footage!
Awesome 👌✌
:D
I.. LOVE this distinction between inside and outside. For inside, you might as well walk it and carry something and get a way better result than a cinewhoop. For outside, use fpv. I’m also more and more interested in Medlin head trackers for up and down. Opens up a lot of new shots
that tracker does look really interesting!!
💯I love getting drone shots, but as a film-maker I always first ask myself whether using a drone accomplishes something not possible with a gimbal or other tool. If the answer is no, I use another tool.
Agree 100% on the auto settings making things look amateurish. I avoid real estate work in general as I simply find relators to be too cheap for the level of production called for to really do it right. The right way to do fly-throughs IMO is to fly multiple overlapping takes with locked in settings for each lighting condition, and then hide your cuts by masking in places where you pass objects in front of the camera. But that approach takes more planning of each shot and more work in the edit. One other tip, if you don't own an incident light meter, consider investing in one. Makes it very easy to get correct exposure and determine what ND filter value is called for. Just set your shutter speed and ISO and take a reading, and however many stops brighter than an f/2.8 it reads, is how many stops of ND are needed. Of course, in direct sunlight it's always the same exposure, so just remember the sunny 16 rule and life is good.
I like ur videos a lot
thank you!
Thank You! From Frisco, TX
No problem 🫡
Very useful One Love
Ay thank you
@@AleeshaFPV no problem Great work thank you for the reply
You're spot on with this aproach, handheld is way better for inside shots. Makes for way better quality especially because you can use a much better camera for it. The large wide angled lenses on the action style cams often make inside spaces look a bit strange.
I've been in design, photography and film making for 25 years now. I like a good edit, gives you much more control over the narative. That 'one shot' aproach is sort of a fab fase imo. It's new to most people, so everyone thinks that's what they need but it isn't asked for or the best choice in most cases.
In this case the objective is just to make the property look as attractive as possible. Not shooting for an oscar ;-)
I really like that you keep a level head on this. That kind of thinking will be very helpfull going forward in this business.
thank you so much!
Imagine if one of the birds pooped on the camera lol Hey Allie im proud of you because you're resilient and determined. Great video.
id simply die!
Awesome Aleesha! I really need to push myself to get out there and do some drone work. Would be amazing making money with my favorite thing.
Have you tried slowing the 60fps down to 30fps and doing speed ramping? I've gotten some super cool results when shot using the 180 degree shutter rule as you mentioned.
yes, i have, i actually speed ramped in this video slightly so it wasnt jarring.
@@AleeshaFPV oh nice I didn’t catch that.
So the birds collect on your tail when coming off the watter so turning around the front of the house they all pile up on top of you . Maybe a rear view mirror or a horn . My birds woke up and started singing along when theblackbirds got louder .
Awesome information 👏 loving the new studio look! 👍🔥
Thank you! I need to work on lighting more!
Wow, that was close to the bird... 😲
very nice , i am from Philippines hoping to see you soon in canada, because we are gonna be there at camrose, hope to fly with you soon hehe
I personally disagree with the indoor being better with a walkthrough. You’re right that most of it looks amateur because most of these pilots are simply not good enough to do good fly throughs…. Takes a skilled pilot to do it right! I can run a drone through a house in one quick take and be done in 10 mins. Real estate videos are disposable and once the house is sold, the video is discarded. I honestly try to avoid real estate for this reason and focus on the promotional side because it’s often going to get more hits in the long run. Just my 2 cents.
No.. that's not what i meant, the pilots doing them can fly great, usually. It just looks like garbage from a professional perspective.
i see what you're saying but often times realtors can use this content over again as marketing for themselves on why they can be a good fit for their clients.
@@AleeshaFPV no hate on my end though, houses here sell so quick that there isn’t much money in real estate for fpv for sure. Real estate is kinda its own thing, and I only do it when I have to hahah. I’m about to do a couple just because it’s been a slower month with some expenses hahaha. I’ve always been a photographer as well, but my real estate photos don’t look great, I don’t have that commercial eye, I’ve always been more of the weird artsy vibe and I’ve found realtors don’t really appreciate that hahahha
@@GrauFPV like i said tho, i dont just do FPV for real estate, i do it all. photo, video and then drone as an add on.
Houses are selling quick but because i do it all, it works really well.
@@AleeshaFPV Godspeed hahah that’s more work than I like! I just want to be able to fly my drones as much as possible every day!
Used to really be into the fly through thing, but the more I see, the more I agree with you. A handheld gimbal just works better and nobody except filmmakers really care about 1 shot stuff.
even then its really just a niche "could go viral" thing lol
Very impressive video Aleesha! Excellent throttle management! Do you fly in acro mode when filming for real-estate?
Have a great day 😀
for fpv I only fly acro! :)
What HDMI cord do you use? I've gone through 4 hdmi cords on amazon but none of them work for my ninja to a7s3
I don’t record to my monitor, so idk if that makes a difference lol
I just got one off Amazon
That was fantastic! I love my hero 8 too hehe! Great job here, I've learned some things for when I start working after I get my 107! Thanks for sharing kiddo!
ay great to hear!
👊👊😎👌good stuff
thank ya!
😘🕹️👊🏿🔥💕
Saludos desde cali Colombia
What budget would you suggest a beginner to start with for FPV racing drones?
For racing??
I’ve been thinking about starting some type of fpv videography business in my area. Great video and inspiration!!!
ayyy! Go for it! lots of opportunities out there!
Really nice video. I would like to ask u. How long u have been flying fpv? Thakns
since june 2020
How hard was getting an SFOC for all the BVLOS flights? Do you have to ask for one each flight or do you have one that’s for you/work that covers your flights? Nice demo reels and flights!
I do not fly my FPV drone in any restricted air space and for this house I had a visual observer watching my drone, so I didn't get any SFOC certificates.
I havent gotten an SFOC yet myself.
Those birds were pissed! In the end you actually almost collided with one when you came in to land. Kinda shitty but nothing you can do about it since had to get shots for the gig. I woulda just packed up and left if I flew there recreationally because of the aggro birdies.
Anyway, I agree with your point that often inside, an FPV shot is worse than a good wide angle a-cam gimbal shot. But sometimes, it isn't.
Always depends on the location and the pilot's imagination and skills.
I like your videos, and your flying style, thanks for these videos and all the best to you :)
I agree with you 100 percent. The fpv interior flythru seems like a gimmick to me...I really do think a floor level walk through with a rig like you mentioned is more preferable. It gives a more proper insight and tour-like traditional experience.
i thought people would flame me for this POV so im glad someone agrees haha
Great content! Coming from a long time FPV pilot who is studying for my 107 to do exactly this, it was very informative! Keep these coming please 😁. Those birds though!
Glad it was helpful!
How hard is the test really? Like could I get away with studying on UA-cam videos or should I take the class ? I had a hard time in school and im afraid that this is what will be the end of me being able to make money with my drones. I do have another way that I'll be starting soon and I won't need my 107 pilots license for this gig;) wish me luck. And good luck to you. I know a few different realtors that might like my help. Maybe I should do one for free just to get my toes wet.
I also agree with you about using a gambled cam for inside shots.
Also as you mentioned , do what the agents wants...
Also, I know better, where I live, you can throw a rock at random and hit a real estate drone pilot.
The real estate market is massive.
There are a few big time pros, I would have to bust ass to compete.
I'd rather just freestyle.
To be fair, you just need to do better than the next person haha but I feel you. Here I’m maybe 1 of 3 active real estate photographers.
I really love your video ! I really want to start my business into fpv shooting and I got almost all the stuff you got !
doesn't take much to start!! :D
You are so talented at flying drones. ❤. How long have you been flying them?, also did it take a long time to start a business and earn money from your flying?
started June 2020. My intention getting into drones was actually to make money so i made money within a few months of flying.
the business had already been established though.
@@AleeshaFPV Holy mackerel!!, well done Aleesha. Making money from something you enjoy is the ideal career choice. 😁
You have incredible talent and we are so grateful for the work you do. Our clients love it!
That's great to hear!!
Does Fpv supports self leveling or fixed with acro mode
ive never done it but im pretty sure some FC's can do it
Thank you for the video!! It was a big help. Do you have your 107 pilot license? I have a few realtor friends that I might like some shots like this and ive found another way to make money with drones is that im building them for a specific company that will use them for really important missions so I can go that route without having to have a 107 license. I'm planning on getting it I'm just afraid it's going to be to hard for me to pass the test. I didn't do really good in school so I'm hoping I can do well to get my license. I also know some Amateur video augafers that make horror movies and stuff that I might be able to do shots for them as well fingers crossed fingers crossed thanks for the video.
I am Canadian so its a bit different here, I am advanced licensed though!
It was pretty difficult however taking the time to study really worked.
Where did you get that cool sign with your name on it made??
I made it
@@AleeshaFPV That’s awesome, very cool!
What fpv drone did you use for this captures? Have you change the setup at all from factory or PID setting in anyway? I guess you did not buil it yourself as your channel is more photo-video production focused.
aaaaand you're wrong. ua-cam.com/video/kbAoS9ZfnfM/v-deo.html
however, pids are stock, ive changed my rates though.
Nice video. New subscriber. Thanks.
Thanks for the sub! Appreciate you!
Were the birds real? If so what a crazy shot!
yes they were haha
they were out for blood!
лайк за птиц которые чуть не напали на твой дрон )) это выглядело эпично
Very nice! Although IMO the FPV stuff is just too fast to get a good look at the property, I would slo-mo the FPV footage a little, perhaps! All good!
That's why its mixed with static gps drone shots. Its for a cool pov and to get people interested in the place.
@@AleeshaFPV Yeah, I hear ya! What about a speed ramp with some of the FPV footage? I know, I know, I'll give it a rest! Nice job though!!!!
How much would u charge for that flight?
since I did, photos, video and drone its my rate based on sqft, however i did a different job that was drone only and I charged $400 or so.
This is where in canada
Alberta!
So how does the realtors pay you???
Do you have your FAA to fly around the outside of the houses??
Who gets taxed at the end of the year you or the realtor??
I need answers on these lol
- I invoice them
- I have a license and insurance on my drones. In Canada you don’t necessarily need a license to make money but in the US
You need your part 107
- I tax my own income, I’m a self employed business owner.
@@AleeshaFPV lucky you….
I should make a video of how I make money with my 5"
please dont lol
Did they sell the house? 🤔
Do you want it? 👀
Now they have
Симпатичная мадам)
благодарю вас
I want to give the giveaway sister
hi again cutie ALEESHA
It is good except the pilot can be seen in the footage.
i would rather not lose my drone in the water trying to hide myself lol
you got the main issue, you are making money, not the thing you are supposed to do, the fpv hobby thing
I literally got into FPV to make money for my business to get dynamic shots. Doing so made me fall in love for the hobby as a whole.
Making money off something you love is a treat.
@@AleeshaFPV I dont love money
@@AleeshaFPV None should be paid for doing anything, what a disgrace
@@AleeshaFPV you are not in the hobby, you are in the money
@@AleeshaFPV your motivations for doing things is wrong, for nonsense
Sooooo refreshing seeing a woman doing this! Anything technology needs to have a greater share of female representation. I fully applaud you and your skills are second to none. Very well done and I’m subscribing to your channel.
thank you SO much! I needed this today! 😎
