I put together a short video of a canyoneering trip last year. Was bringing the drone worth the weight?

    I use a VPN and the video is blocked in Sweden because of copyright issues with "SME." It seems to be Sony Music Entertainment which is blocking your video.

      Ugh yeah it's a song by Chris Malinchak and it's got a copyright hit. It's a bummer because I'm just making these for fun so I can't really afford to buy music rights 😞

        While it may take some time to find exactly the music you're looking for, there's growing libraries of open source music so that you can have the kind of vibes you want without worrying about...

          Oh very cool thanks! I was poking around and most of the music sounds like cheap local commercials, but I found one or two that were decent. I suppose as more and more comes out the people making it will get better and better, but there's probably a point where the music gets good enough and then it's no longer free.

    Found a proxy that worked for me. Drone is definitely worth it my dude, the expansive landscape and cloudy sky are majestic. One small comment is the occasional sudden fast forward and camera turn...

One small comment is the occasional sudden fast forward and camera turn I find a bit jarring (but curiously the fast forward during straight fly parts I was still okay with).

      Thanks so much for the critique. I think it's always a balance between keeping things engaging vs jarring, but I think you're right that turning and speeding up is too much all at once.

    Where should I go next? Any advice on how to improve my videography?

    Very nice work. I'm not familiar with canyon footage, so this was very welcome.
