Hi Everyone,

I can see quite a few topics around You Tube drone channels etc. As someone brand new to Drones I’m a little bit inspired to catalogue my journey especially as not only am I new but also 2021 is under the new reg etc. Would love thoughts and comments from this community plus any recommendations for other Drone related You Tube.

Cheers

Neil

Neil - I think there’s a couple of elements to this depending on what you are looking to achieve. You live in a stunning part of the world so content shouldn’t be an issue for you so you need to learn to fly AND to edit. All the best footage in the world will look crap unless you can put it together well. Equally, the best editor can’t do a lot with poor footage. Pick your editing software of choice and seek out lots of tutorials on how to use it. Look at everything on TV, YouTube, Netlfix etc differently - ask yourself how they made that shot then try and recreate it. Good luck.

Thanks for the comment much appreciated. While new to drones I do have experience with video production and editing I use Davinci resolve and colour grade with a Blackmagic mini panel. I’ve thought about a YouTube channel on and off but the largest barrier was something that excites me enough to capture my attention long term.

In that case, you’re already ahead of 95% of drone based channels

Ian in London I feel is the best one to watch, very interesting and informative

He’s a lot like marmite, but I don’t think there are many better vloggers and he was one of the early adopters of drone shooting, and he’s a not half bad story teller either

DO WHAT YOU CAN'T

[firstadekit]

Very few YouTuber’s that I don’t find annoying, especially those that constantly put out content, a lot of it rehashed of what they have already done. Quality > Quantity and I wish a lot of the UK based people would learn that.To the point today I unsubbed from a lot of them and left myself with these guys.

Ian in London gets another vote for being UK based and pretty honest and doesn’t just spunk out content for the sake of it.

Another vote for Jevan Dovey who hasn’t been mentioned for a while and has recently been restructuring his channel(s) between educational and actual vlogging. I prefer the educational stuff, but it’s also good to see how it all comes together in the actual vlog.

Jake Sloan, again some really good educational stuff on recording footage:

There are many creators on YouTube who I look up to and will watch anything they post, ‘The drone creative’ ‘Ken Heron’ ‘Jake Sloan’ to name a few but there is also ones that aren’t so good, I’m not a fan of these ‘auditors’ though I do watch sometimes, ‘geeksvana’ now if I’d found him before buying a drone I never would have, he drones on about all the rules and regs and nothing about the joys of flying. Anyone else got any faves?

@k12pfc

he drones on about all the rules and regs and nothing about the joys of flying

That because no one has ever seen him fly one
