very good quality, very stable image.
Do you ever worry you will loose control or a big wind gust might crash it?

What creates those blury artefacts when the camera pans up and down rocks up close or at the beginning when you fly away from the site? Is it some sort of frame rate conversion or shortcoming of the camera?

Nice smooth video, not the best day for it though so everything looks a little flat and it lacks the contrast/dynamic to really grab your attention. Also not quite sure about the transitions you've used when you've cut it al together the blackouts stop the flow.

Sorry to sound critical, you've definitely got the technique down just need a little more luck with the weather and some more time in post.

I love feedback - Its all about learning and getting better right , I'm a noob with Sony Vegas so just getting used to the basics , Would you say it would be better just to jump the clips right in ? and not have any fade in ?

I did lose connection a few times at Durdle door ! :eek:

No idea why but GPS wasn't the best down on the beach ! I think I'll stick to the hill side next time , It was a very over cased day but in the summer you get that horrid sun flare on the water & Millions of people on the beach

I think this is to do with the settings I have used on the Drone - I record at 30 FPS on the drone but in Sony Vegas I render the Video at 24 FPS in 4K so this is what I'm guessing causes the slight blurr on the fast pans

Why are those your settings? Neither are PAL which is 25fps.

At quick look I thought it was aliasing at the start.

I spent a week in a barn conversion 20 minutes away this summer and it was stunning every day you guys wouldn't know bad weather if a hurricane whipped up a tidal wave during a snow storm!

You need to have something it just felt a bit of a sharp drop to black followed by a pause on a black screen then a fade in, the transition needs to be smoother so it doesn't break the flow.
