Dragged myself out of bed on a frosty morning to head up to Cromer and catch the all-weather lifeboat launch. Still very much experimenting with both the Air 3S (shooting DLOG-M) and DaVinci Resolve, so constructive feedback is welcome!
Email the link to the station they’ll love it 
Hopefully not like my local station who never get back to you.

They might have a online safety policy where they are not to open external email links from unknown sources 
pop in and speak to them
They don’t even reply when tagged into Insta posts and they also have an insta account. I don’t bother anymore.
999 - Coastguard for quickest response ;o)

Great video that Andy , well done . You should try and get down to the Caister life boat , they are independent and far more worthy cause than the RNLI , they often run training with both boats launched.

The Independent lifeboats do sadly get overlooked.

The caister life boat does a fantastic job and is totally independent , they have great local support , there is 2 boats and one of those is new this year , well worth a look if anyone is in the area .

Great video and interesting subject matter. You say you are using D-LOG and DV, have you watched anything on colour management yet? I learnt the v simple process to colour grade the entire film automatically on DV before I realized my camera doesn’t record in LOG. If you are interested I can share the method with you - it literally transforms the colour and all related settings in a few simple clicks. (No idea whether you already did it / know how).
This was shot in DLOG and colour corrected in Resolve. I still need some practice though but will come in time I’m sure!

Being the new (and happy) owner of a Mini3 I don’t have the ability to shoot in any other format than straight out of the camera but I am a user of DaVinci Resolve (studio !) for my other video work.
Any guidance on how to get the best quality out of my video would be most appreciated.
Hi Pixels, I am happy to talk you through a couple of different methods I use. I am uploading a 2 min video I did yesterday, which will be visible in around 60 mins on my channel. It was a grey murky day, but the end result is far from that. If you are interested have a look, or if you want you can PM me for the link - it took me not very long to get the results.
@Pixels looks like I can’t private message and I don’t want to spam up this thread, so I will post in my DV thread in the video editing section once done 
One of the great benefits of membership
Does the insurance cover commercial use or can it?
All detailed above, it does cover direct messaging though ;o)

It’s not as bad as you might think. Just make sure you go on a calm day, and preferably one where the wind is blowing onshore rather than off!
I’ve flown both the Mini 2 and the Air 3S off Cromer many times (to the extent that I feel all of GADC collectively rolling their eyes when I upload another photo or video of the same place), and find it a great place for getting to grips with a drone.
