We love the Mavic Pro struggles a bit in 25 Knots+ winds. (cant come back home you have to go to the drone) fly's back at 5 knots and sometimes not all all, you must go fetch ;-) its a bit scary. ruclips.net/video/eD4c3Eu8Bvs/видео.html
I quit filmmaking for two years because my university and career influenced me to give up that passion. For two years, I felt creatively drained. You have inspired me to get back into filmmaking. I just released a video about my experience and why pursuing creativity is so important. Thank you Peter!
Wow!!! It's all awesome. I really like your shots. Great mixing, music and everything is in place. I hope to edit like one of this. I love flying too with Mavic Mini. I captured some places here in our town in India.
I subscribed to your channel in 2 min of my first view of your content, 1st coz you're cool, humble, and looks like you know what you're talking about and 2nd coz of the Maple Leaf
Oh boy!! This gets the most exciting drone video of the day award, for me at least. I know it helps to have great subject material, like Iceland, but I also know, having shot video for long enough, that "it ain't just the scenery" that makes it look cinematic. Your friend Matt is a terrific shooter. I'm gonna study his shots later, to see if I can't learn a bunch from him. He's extremely creative and smooth. I'm also happy that you put together a very informative video here, that is well done, and that you used your good friend's footage to show some of the ideas you're talking about. Very thoughtful and creative. I'll certainly check out more of both of you on RUclips in the future. Marc Trainor
Damnit, I wanna go fly my lil DJI Spark now. Finding the time and locations for great drone footage is an art in itself. So many places are off limits or restricted!
Alexander Haugbjørg “Most definitely. The 2.7k HD recording/1080p HD with the Return Home feature makes this thing an advanced flying robot. I have lost connection with my drone so many times (especially flying it over a mile away) and when it does, it links up to the satellites and finds the way back home every time. You can see how I was able to fly long distances on my RUclips channel. “
just came across your video... I just ordered a drone.. like an hour ago... I am super excited.. super nervous... don't know what to expect... want those awesome shots you guys have... BUT... we will see what the reality brings... definitely will be interesting experience and this video gave me lots of points on what to expect, what I can do and such... thanks for doing this.
Great video Peter! What I would love to know is your technique for using music in these videos without it being too distracting. When I try to use upbeat, energetic music like you typically do in your videos, it often ends up being extremely distracting and I can't find the balance in levels for it to sound how it should, subtly in the background, while still being there. I usually just settle with monotonous ambient music and I wanna spice it up!
Daniel Schiffer Peter has already made a video about he is using music in his videos. I think it was a couple of months ago or so. Try to find that video.
One of the easiest thing is to animate the levels of your music... so, in the intro the music Sounds massive.. and at the moment you start to talk.. you pull down the music volume... and any moment when you dont talk (like B-rolls or dron footage) you put the volume up again... and keep doing that to the end! :D
I wish this video was posted yesterday. I did a drone project and I'm not that happy with the shots! But thanks Peter. Your advises are gonna save me in the next ones.
the drone shots over on travel feels are indeed some of the best I've ever seen.... Huge props. I gain so much of my knowledge on film making fro your's and Matty's channel. thanks a ton.
So true! Can totally relate to the same old shots but different location... starting to be a thing for my vlog for sure. Thanks for the tips - i originally found you through TravelFeels actually. Nice to see you guys still doing vids together!
That was most excellent Pete. It's great when you and Matti get together. Love the friendship and how you look out for each other. Keep inspiring guys. Enjoy!
Very cool looking video, nice job on the flying of the drone. Great tips and ideas! Keep up the flying, its looking great. Thank you for sharing, and have a good weekend
Obsessed with this channel and TravelFeels as well! Both of you guys go hand in hand and you give the best information! Wouldn't have half my knowledge on cinematography if it wasn't for you two! Keep it up!
Those drone shots you just previewed were absolutely incredible! Sometimes the hardest thing while editing is to decided what shots are actually worth it to get into the final video. How do you decide that? Do you any "rule" for that? Oh and finally a video again with Travel Feels - you two are an awesome team! :) Cheers!
Peter McKinnon 🚨 At 6:42 you said “...these ND filters really help you get dynamic range” this is incorrect. ND filters slow down light allowing you to lower the shutter-speed which can give a more natural or “cinematic” motion blur, but this doesn’t add more stops of dynamic range. Having a slower shutter in bright situations also allows you to open up the iris; giving you a shallow depth of field which can look “cinematic” but again doesn’t effect dynamic-range, you need a better sensor or camera to improve that. Anyhow great videos, very fun stuff & keep up the great work! 😄👍
You can look at it this way. If you want to use 2x frame rate of the shutter. Sometimes that will lead to over exposure. With ND you can keep that latitude, in other words. More dynamic range.
Right on time man! I got a mavic pro last month and I'm finally comfortable flying the thing, so now it's time to get down to some sweet sweet drone video.
I could listen to you all day and watch those drone shots forever. What happens when you don't have a subject???? That's my main problem. Great tips and thank you for sharing.
Peter! You are really inspiring for me!Not only your editing tutorials but also your energetic,happy,motivated style! I really appreciate you... Maryam fro Tehran,Iran :)
Great video! Pete!! .. even if I dont have a dron yet! hahahhahahaha it´s always fun and inspiring to watch your videos!!! ... waiting for the next vlog! 🙌🙌🙌
Part of me wants to be miffed that the two minute time limit is broken, but I just can't be upset that there is more PM content. I get inspired every time man! Keep up the great work!
Peter McKinnon, Matti Hapooja, Lost LeBlanc, Sam Kolder, Erik Haddenfalk, MrBrynn North, Just Kay, Jr. Alli. You are my inspiration. I learn a lot from you all. Thanks thanks a lot.
Great tutorials man. The color grading or whatever the hell is on those black beach drone shots are RIDIC. Looks awesome!! Keep pumping these out. Super helpful. Thanks!
That's funny, for a filmmaker and one who talks about story being important, I don't see much evidence of narrative work. You mean video maker? You're a videographer not a filmmaker. Nice finger tattoos though. That aspect of life you seem to have a solid focus on.
I know someone who has a master in film directing and when that person uploads something to youtube the view count is very poor. RUclips isn't about storytelling unfortunately and regrettably, I profit from it learning things, mostly camera and gimbal tests, microphone tests, listening to music and watching trailers.
Hi Peter. First time when I post a comment to your channel even I am around since at the beginning of 2017. Thank you for your great work. I start to improve my short footage from drone Mavic Pro, after I watched some tips from you. I applied few tips on my last post. Thank you and All the best!
Awesome tips again Pete. I'm noticing a common denominator with your vlogs now........no matter how bad my mood is at the start by the end I'm smiling. Good work
I flew my drone a while ago at the beach with my wife as the subject while walking. I thought it looks better with a subject and upon seeing this, it just confirmed it! Awesome tips peter and @travelfeels!
WICKED video... I appreciate the commentary, well chosen background music, and CONCISE info!! I can see why you have nearly 2 MILLION subscribers!! Congrats and keep up the great content!!
I'm running a DJi Spark, had it about a year now, so this video was quite informative, cheers Peter Mac. I'm getting around 20 minutes from each battery, so i try to maximize the time i have the drone in the air with the best footage i can get. There's still plenty i still need to learn about the drone, especially the Go 4 app which i need to learn more about. I can deffo be accused of just powering up the drone and flying, without really thinking about what i'm going to be filming, pretty much all of the video's on my channel feature the area where i live, in Snowdonia, North Wales, UK, which is a beautiful place for motorcycle riding (my other passion) and drone flying. I can also be accused of having to edit out the fast, or jerky movements of the camera in post, i need to maybe use the tripod mode to get smoother footage, so i'll be concentrating on that more in future. Love the Spark, does what i want (mostly) and i'll just do my best to try and improve on my skills at flying it and delve into the software more and try to understand how everything works. Ok, i've had the drone for nearly a year and i can hear some of you saying i should be way ahead of the game now, with the software, etc.....but i'm 65 next month, so gimme a break guys. Things take a bit longer to absorb as you get older but at least the drone gets me off my arse and out there getting some exercise, so it's not all bad.
Awwwww shucks thanks man for the love! Couldn't imagine youtube without you 🙌
hey Travelfeels (Matt) when you next in Cape Town look us up would love to hang out and show you around our city
We love the Mavic Pro struggles a bit in 25 Knots+ winds. (cant come back home you have to go to the drone) fly's back at 5 knots and sometimes not all all, you must go fetch ;-) its a bit scary. ruclips.net/video/eD4c3Eu8Bvs/видео.html
Matti Haapoja you guys rock...trying to shoot my mavic pro without so much grain...
No one can pronounce cinematic without mentioning your name. cineMATTIc!
Matti Haapoja q
Something that hits me, your old videos is like far far far better, they feel so much more alive and full of joy. Take that mode back Pete!
I am totally a sight see-er drone operator! Time to level up. Thanks Matti and Peter! :D
Excellent advice. Well done!
You posted this the day before my Hawaii trip. THANK YOU!
man how good would it be to have a Peter McKinnon plugging your channel every week.
Now I'm a drone expert without a drone. Might sell a kidney...
Ben Thunder save up for it man. I’m 16 and I worked for about a year and bought one. Definitely a fun tool to have. Just make sure you use it enough.
Ben Thunder kidney should only be used for one thing
Buy iPhone Xpensive
hahahaha not a bad idea
😂💦😂💦😂💦
Autel just teased their new drone at CES. I bought their last drone. Compared to the DJI 3 so it's not fantastic, but for $600, it was fun.
I quit filmmaking for two years because my university and career influenced me to give up that passion. For two years, I felt creatively drained.
You have inspired me to get back into filmmaking. I just released a video about my experience and why pursuing creativity is so important.
Thank you Peter!
3:59 is probably one of the best drone shots i've seen
Balls. Same😱🙌🏼
Search on YT : Kold drone shots, thank me later.
For me, the best shots at here 4:17.
That's some great footage you have Peter! Always a pleasure to watch!
Wow!!! It's all awesome. I really like your shots. Great mixing, music and everything is in place. I hope to edit like one of this. I love flying too with Mavic Mini. I captured some places here in our town in India.

Daniel Schiffer you could bring down the volume and highs in it so it had a bit more of a lounge feel.
Interesting idea! I'll give that a try!

And just when I thought this Tuesday Sucked. Here Comes Pete with a Two Minute Tuesday. Thanks Pete!
Tyler Neely Yes! he just made the day
Tyler Neely makes it better that it’s over 2 minutes
the drone shots over on travel feels are indeed some of the best I've ever seen.... Huge props. I gain so much of my knowledge on film making fro your's and Matty's channel. thanks a ton.
Step one: get a drone.

Step 2, do not crash it!
It's always cool to see someone who's been to another country, it's good to expand your horizons.
Just bought my Mavic Mini. ❤️ it.
So true! Can totally relate to the same old shots but different location... starting to be a thing for my vlog for sure. Thanks for the tips - i originally found you through TravelFeels actually. Nice to see you guys still doing vids together!

Jonathan Schmid Haha! 😉
Zablektronik Hmmmm:D
Really amazing variety! Was all that shot in the same flight or were you guys driving to multiple locations?
Lol, i don't even have a drone but is still watched the video haha
same🤣😂
I absolutely love your vlogs... not only are they very informative.... but the way you present.... your goofiness makes them absolute fun to watch....
This serie should be called "A few minutes Tuesday" 😂😂
Those drone shots were amazing! Hope to see more droning tips and tricks in the future!
Peter said it was a two minute tuesday, then I took a look at the video and saw it was almost 8 minutes long... Yeah, that's about right
Last Turn Films still worth it
That was most excellent Pete. It's great when you and Matti get together. Love the friendship and how you look out for each other. Keep inspiring guys. Enjoy!
Amazing shots, thanks for the tips! Summary:
Plan your flight
Take a variety of shots
Have a subject
Show scale
Use ND filters for dynamic range
At this point you going over 2 minutes has become a character of this segment and it's great. Also saw your new coffee line that's awesome!!
Ten minute tuesdays. :)
My DJI Mavic Platinum ships on mondayyyyy yeahah
Very cool looking video, nice job on the flying of the drone. Great tips and ideas! Keep up the flying, its looking great. Thank you for sharing, and have a good weekend
Feeling when you are watching these drone shots. "Why I'm not skilled enough?" :D
Obsessed with this channel and TravelFeels as well! Both of you guys go hand in hand and you give the best information! Wouldn't have half my knowledge on cinematography if it wasn't for you two! Keep it up!
Its like a five minutes Fuesday..
ShreemantYogi Trekkers haha. on point

5 minute Friday??
Yeah awesome right!
pan donhi intro jbrdst ahet 🤣
Awesome break down. This is one on the tools I plan on adding to my arsenal very soon.
SPOILER ALERT: He goes way over 2 minutes.... which is good cause you know.. more McKinnon time!!
Jake Newby good, thought there was just 5:50 seconds of a blank slate 😜👍
AND WE DANCE. VLOGS hey you never know.... RUclipss SEO does favor longer videos!
Jake Newby haha, trudat ❤️😎🎧
More quality time ;)
Those drone shots are sick, matty's just fantastic .. and going to those amazing places and making the most of showing it off, .. fantastic.
Those drone shots you just previewed were absolutely incredible!
Sometimes the hardest thing while editing is to decided what shots are actually worth it to get into the final video. How do you decide that? Do you any "rule" for that?
Oh and finally a video again with Travel Feels - you two are an awesome team! :)
Cheers!
yeah they are such a good team
I loved those drone shots as welL!
i dont think there is a rule for that i think it is just feeling
i think so too!
whenever they team up it is just great!
Thanks for the analysis of the drone camera work - smart to plan your trips ahead of time.
Just what we needed
Just bought myself a mavic mini to practice flying with. So damn excited rn.
Notification squad, how much do you love Peter? ❤️
PC Building GR PETERRRRRR!!!!!
Ωχ, η pcb gr!
Beautiful footage thanks !!!!! love the black sand and how Matty captured it

With ND you can keep that latitude, in other words. More dynamic range.
Peter should have said "recover some burnouts in highlights" or sky.. everyone knows that. there is no reason to point that to Peter ;)
Right on time man! I got a mavic pro last month and I'm finally comfortable flying the thing, so now it's time to get down to some sweet sweet drone video.
*three weeks later*
"Welcome back to 10 minute Tuesday!"
Hey Peter, i am glad to see that you have almost 6 million subs. you do such great work and I'm glad you are still producing.
Travel feels is so underated
🙌
I agree with this statement
I could listen to you all day and watch those drone shots forever. What happens when you don't have a subject???? That's my main problem. Great tips and thank you for sharing.
Hello I'm here with my smiling face :D
RYAN KAO WOOOOOOO
*I LOVE HOW U MAKE ME EXCITED TO GET OUT AND JUST WORK TO GET AMAZING SHOTS 🖤*
And do you have 5 tips to make Peter watch your channel ? :)
Olivier Schmitt Add "coffee" in your video title...he'll be drawn to it 😂
Smash & See you in the next video 💯
KG Productions 5 tips for better coffee maybe
Produce content in english?
Raphael Aguirre +ve
Peter! You are really inspiring for me!Not only your editing tutorials but also your energetic,happy,motivated style! I really appreciate you... Maryam fro Tehran,Iran :)
*Dope*
Thanks for your tips Man!
I'll try for my next video series about *Norway* ! *Boom* !
These drone shots were so awesome!!!
Great tips, Peter! Maybe you should abandon the "Two minute Tuesday" in lieu of "Five minute Friday"! lol
Mark Denney that's a great idea!!!
Ten minutes thursday
Kristian Aleksander Vist haha! Yes!
more like 30 minute Thursday
This is some really good drone shots ey. those ND Filters really are life savers... The sun blows out a lot of my drone footage.
You have a Canada / RUclips Jacket? Nice 😉
That silouhette shot of you on top of the jeep was awesome
Step two: The Self Motivation to Self Improve 🎥
Walking up and seeing your video notification and then video makes my day... thanks a lot and secondly that music you use ....thats just wow 😍😍
Peter you should just call them "Tuesday Tips" or something
The part where you are running and drone is moving is awesome!
Notification Squad!!!
Oh yes!!
Great video! Pete!! .. even if I dont have a dron yet! hahahhahahaha it´s always fun and inspiring to watch your videos!!! ... waiting for the next vlog! 🙌🙌🙌
Me: Doesn’t have a drone
*clicks the video*
Great to hear others tips, and I always try to improve my drone shots, one video to the next. It’s all about reps at the end of the day.
Been early to a Pewdiepie video and now a Peter video...I need to get off RUclips...awesome vid as always 😄
Part of me wants to be miffed that the two minute time limit is broken, but I just can't be upset that there is more PM content. I get inspired every time man! Keep up the great work!

And I actually have a drone and I’m flying after this also I live in Iceland haha!
living in the greatest country on the planet we don't have 2 min Tuesday as its Wednesday here in Oz. Love it mate.... love it :)
As I’m flying a home built FPV rig with like 5 minutes flight times 🤣
Great tutorials man. The color grading or whatever the hell is on those black beach drone shots are RIDIC. Looks awesome!! Keep pumping these out. Super helpful. Thanks!
“See if I can keep to two minutes”
Check run time...7 minutes and 50seconds.
Nice.
That shot at 4:00 is absolutely amazing, totally blown away!
Me living no where close to huge awesome landscapes. Just small hills.
Awesome tips, thanks. I welcome a critic of my drone footage.
Let’s see if I can keep to 2 minutes...
Nearly an 8 minute video 😂
Just got a drone a few weeks ago so these are some great and timely points. Keep up the great work!
