I'm an Arizona-based FAA Part 107 certified UAS pilot. I also share my experiences with travel, my dog, and my family.
Daylight Aerial
There’s a saying in photography that “When the sun comes up, the camera goes down”. I don’t often take my own advice. Here are some daylight shots of a familiar location.

Playing with Final Cut Pro Magnetic Mask
Просмотров 294 часа назад
FCP 11 has a new Magnetic Mask tool I just HAD to play with. A LOT. It's the tool that can make text appear behind an object... It’s been quite a while since I posted a drone video. Well, first there was nearly 2 weeks in Hawaii, then another two weeks getting firsthand experience with Covid-19. Then a final two weeks before the hacking cough subsided sufficiently, and I was ready to go out fil...

Part 2 of 2. We spent nearly a week on Kauai in early October 2024. We enjoyed meeting our good friends and seeing Waimea Canyon, Kauai Coffee Plantation, Poipu Beach, a fabulous luau and more.

Part 1 of 2. Our summer trip to Hawaii was late this year, stretching into early October. We did a week on Maui and another on Kauai. We did the Road to Hana and Sunrise at Haleakala on the Maui leg, along with some great dining and shopping. Enjoy the pics.

I juuust missed the long shadows of an early morning light. Here’s what I saw along Castle Hot Springs Road near Lake Pleasant.

Enigma
Просмотров 743 месяца назад
Most days I have a plan and a purpose, other days it’s just an Enigma. This was filmed near Quintero in Peoria, Arizona. I’ve been here a few times before and came looking for some donkey bray sounds, as my great recording of that seems to have gone “poof!” in one of my recent reorganizations. I found a few donkeys, but they were quiet today (hmm?). Nonetheless, I was able to get some brief foo...

Sometimes I try to make serious films, and sometimes I make nonsense with leftover footage. Mostly, I’m glad I’m not trying to make a living at this. What do you do with your leftovers?

Very nice! 👏👌👍

Nice we love Oahu. Going on sat for 18 days. Looks like you had a great trip around the islands 👍👍
@@EpicAdventureCouple enjoy your trip
Love seeing your pictures. One more week and we‘ll be on our way.
Me and the wife just got back home from there. We drove from Nashville, Tennessee so that we could see the country. We stopped at the painted desert , Winslow, Stayed in Williams, and took the Grand Canyon Train to the south rim. This was my one and only bucket list. It was well worth the money !
@@ScootinIsLife glad you enjoyed your trip
stunning landscape. perfectly filmed and arranged, including music ! Greez from Switzerland (or France, where I did some 'castle footage).🤩
Thanks. Broad daylight shots are a challenge.
Wow! Dude your video is so cool 🎉 amazing! Excellent drone footage 😊 bravo 🤩👍
Very kind, thank you. Still looking for interesting places to fly so the content is the best it can be.
Yet another awesome video, Robert. I know that area well. Looks like the small hills on the south side of 74, just west of Lake Pleasant. I lost my very first drone out there on the north side of 74, right around mile marker 14. It's probably still out there somewhere. A DJI Mini 2. LOL
You are correct, just there. It's about a 10-minute drive for me. Too bad about the Mini 2, one of these days I'm going to fly sideways into something and that'll be it. Lately, I've been ditching the happy music and going heavier on sound effects.
Yes! Yes! Yes! This is what I love ❤ drones and beautiful landscapes ❤ congratulation 😊
@@Moscizwysokosci Thank you. After two years of doing this I’m finding my niche.
Love our herps!
@@larbueno that short was my stab at learning AI image generation, AI scripts, and a plugin called Captionator for Final Cut Pro. It’s not a direction I want to go with my channel, but it’s an interesting set of tools to play with.
Nap Time Bimmer!
He’s a funny dude
Fantasic place and flight 🤩👌
@@dronetubeAUT thank you so much 😊
Well Done!
@@DesertAdventuresinArizona very kind, thank you.
Fascinating shots 👌
@@dronetubeAUT thank you
Fantasic place and shots 👌
@@dronetubeAUT thank you very much
Robert, your productions just keep getting better and better. I suppose that being retired gives you plenty of time to hone those production skills though. I am not too far behind you, but I still have a few more years of work in store for me before I retire. Keep up the great work. On a quick side note, I used the same music track for my Bartlett Lake video. 👍
@@mattsarizonaaerials thanks Matt. I always laugh when I hear familiar Artist tracks on other people’s videos or in TV commercials. It’s a great service. I’m coming to a crossroads with this and not sure where it’s going, but I keep plugging away. Take care.
Is this around i17 & jomax? Great shots
A little further west, near 303 and Lake Pleasant Parkway. Hayden Rhodes Aqueduct.
Yeah! This is it what I like ❤ congratulation 😊
Thanks, I appreciate the comment.
cool!
Very nice! You've become an awesome pilot and editor!
Appreciate the comment. Views have dropped off considerably in the last year but it’s something I enjoy doing.
As far as views, the same has happened to me and others I follow. I'm not sure what that's all about, but I love this hobbie and the process and end result of creating as well
Well Done!
Appreciated!
Awesome video and beautiful views 👍
Thanks. Appreciate it!
good morning!perfect video~ have a good day, Desert~
Well some drone pilots(speaking for myself) are beginners and learning video editing skills so the content is indeed raw.
Totally agree! After 2+ years of doing this I’m still a beginner.
Great editing for sure, I agree sedona would be so dope
Nothing boring. Great landscapes, appropriate music, interesting fades. I like that. Now I really hope that the red rock country around Sedona will soon be captured with your drone, it will definitely be spectacular. Greez from Switzerland.
A bit of fun, thank you. Sedona’s a challenging place, so much of the area is layered with various flight restrictions. I’ll see what I can do.
Shoot on 360 mode 5.3 K 30 fps?
Yes, then key frame in the 360 editor before bringing the footage into FCP for editing.
Nice
Wow, amazing video by you two! SO cool we were thee about the same time. We looked for the northern lights but never saw them......or any bears. Great job, loved watching.
The ravens add such a cool effect to the desert view. Great shots
Bit of a happy accident, but thanks.
Wonderful Video 👌🤩 Greetings from Austria 👋
Thank you. I’ve enjoyed your content as well.
So cool!
Thanks, it’s fun to do.
@@desertexplorations I make the same videos, yours are much cooler though
Big iron on his hip
Once again, very nice video. 👍❤
Thanks. Still fun to do.
I know I'm late to this party - I just picked up an X3 but I've had a GO2 for a few years now - but I think the Insta app (especially the desktop version) is capable of 90% of the editing that I can even imagine wanting to do. For on-the-road posting to social media, the Insta360 phone app is excellent.
I agree, I did everything manually here, but it’s not necessary.
Climbed on that a few times - usually from the north slope - much more gradual, IMHO.
A rather vigorous hike from the south side.
Those whooshing sound effects are a nice addition. 🙂
lol. It’s the final step with editing and probably the most fun, hard not to overdo and just “whoosh” everything. I bought a pack of titles and sound effects from Four Editors that had maybe 100 different whooshes.
Cool how u arrange a scenechange with the music !
Congratulations that ultra red looks beautiful.
Thanks, Tesla is charging extra for it again. For mine, it was included in the price.
Cool Content !
1:16 "track bike passing" is done manually or deep track ?
Manual. Added the sound effect of the bike as well. My first 360 key frame video.
Your videos just keep getting better and better.
That’s very kind of you to say. To me this was trying to make lemonade out of bad footage. I didn’t appreciate how bad the traffic was on the 101. Took forever to get there and I completely missed the early morning long shadows.
@@desertexplorations that's the advantage you have over me. You're retired, whereas I still have a few more years. Nevertheless, you've come a long way with your video quality. 👍👌👏😊
That's gorgeous, congratulation!
cool you show us not 'only' landscapes, but also small towns. Could you maybe once show us RedRockCountry Sedona, or the ApacheTrail/Lake with Goldfield 'ghosttown' and/or TortillaFlat... ? Just as an idea ... THANK YOU !
It’s a good idea. Lots of restrictions for flying around Sedona would make it challenging. I’ll see what I can do.
pokèmon
Great drone footage and amazing views. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍 Happy Holidays!
Thank you very much!
Awesome flight 🤙🤙🤙
Thank you!
Great stuff!
A bit of fun, thanks.
Amazing video, I have subscribed to your channel
Thank you 🙏
