so ive been flying my mini 3 for about 4 months now and yesterday was the first time everything kinda clicked — light was perfect, wind was almost nothing, and i just let it sit at like 80m and did slow pans across the reservoir near my house. came out way better than anything ive shot before honestly

link to the clip: [youtu.be/xxxx] — nothing crazy edited, just a straight export with a tiny bit of color grading in resolve. curious what people think, especially the exposure, felt like i was fighting the highlights the whole time

that reservoir shot at around 0:42 is really nice, the reflection works really well. one thing id say is your horizon drifts slightly in the second pan, might not notice it on a phone but on a bigger screen its noticeable. happens to me too when im doing manual pans slowly, easy fix in post though with the rotation tool in resolve

highlights look fine to me, were you shooting in normal or d-log? if youre still on normal color profile the rolloff on highlights is gonna be more aggressive, d-log m gives you a lot more room to bring them down in grade

looks sick man. how did u get it to stay that steady at 80m? mine always has some drift going on even in calm conditions, drives me crazy lol
