My First Edited Drone Video – Cozumel Mexico

This is my 4th or 5th flight ever with the DJI Phantom but the first video I’ve recorded. I still need a lot of practice to get smooth flight movement and I didn’t take a lot of time to edit to the music or work with color correct, brightness or contrast. It is what it is – but DEFINITELY watch the video in HD.

I’m working on customizing the Zenmuse GoPro camera mount to get the rotors out of the video – that’s a bit frustrating, but the smooth video is well worth the effort.

I chose to use The Kleptones’ mashup, “Are You a Visionary?” as the background music because it features snippets of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream…” speech. I originally posted this video on the MLK holiday observed in the United States.

Please give the video a thumbs up on YouTube if you enjoyed it and would like to see more UAV video from Cozumel and the Mayan Riviera (Playa del Carmen, Cancún, Tulúm, etc.)

If you have questions about my set up or suggestions, leave them in the comments below!
