I wanted to find out if it's worth it to mount the GoPro Hero 11 Black and GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini on top of the DJI Avata to compare it with the onboard camera. Watch this video to review my analysis of the comparison between the cameras and see the results for yourself. I included a test with the new DJI Avata firmware update which included manual control of the camera to adjust settings like sharpness and noise reduction and added 10-bit color. This is a huge update which has really changed the Avata camera for the better. Also in this video are my settings to get the most cinematic footage out of the DJI Avata and GoPro Hero 11 for FPV drone footage.

There was a recent study report done by MIT that tested the efficiency and noise created by toroidal propellers compared to the traditional propellers that DJI uses for their drones. The toroidal propellers are much quieter and more efficient. This could be the future of propellers for all DJI drones in the future. I decided to 3D print a design from @STRIKINGFPV and put them on the DJI Avata to see how they performed. Watch the full video to see all my testing and analysis.

Ever since the GoPro Million Dollar Challenge was announced I have wanted to get my dog featured in the final video. This is my idea and behind the scenes to hopefully make that happen. With @Mike-Bell designing it, I created a 3D printable tennis ball to hold a GoPro 11 Black Mini. The idea is for my dog, Ollie, to be able to catch the ball in his mouth and get a really unique perspective and camera angle. This is definitely one of the more interesting GoPro mounts. If there is demand for the 3D printed file I will upload it for download.

FPV drones are the newest addition to the drone community and their popularity is only growing and growing. It’s not difficult to see why. The types of shots we can get with FPV drones are mind blowing to say the least. The agility, speed, and manoeuvrability is all unprecedented in the drone space.
As a content creator, using external hard drives has become the bane of my existence the past few years. Having tons of drives, and having to look through all of them all to find 1 particular shot is a nightmare.

Lyrics: Ever since I was a kid I had these crazy dreams But the world tells me to think more realistically Don’t resist, there's no point in being optimistic Can't be civilian if all your civil rights are missing We’re in the streets and we’re not asking for no damn permission Nah - What we’re asking for is clarity You speak of human rights then where the f**k is our humanity We can’t breathe in this reality What’s the price to pay for black people to live happily Roll the dice and go straight to jail in this monopoly I can’t breathe, my own skin has me suffocated Guilty as charged except the charges only come later I can’t breathe in my own skin I can’t breathe in my own skin You’re jogging kind of fast, you’re looking too suspicious Don’t come any closer cause your pleas are kinda vicious But don’t you run away either And don’t you fight back heathen Let’s be honest, we know how this ending This badge and this gun give me the right to stop pretending But don’t be alarmed these hashtags are never-ending Your name will be great for three days because it’s trending Nah - because is enough is enough We can’t let any other person die in those cuffs And we’re damned if we let this be forgotten in our lifetimes Being black is not a crime We’re gonna breathe in our own skin We’re gonna fight and we’re gonna win

The orignal Weebill was a bit small and couldn't handle larger camera setups. The new Weebill S has handled every setup I have tried on it and stabilised them brilliantly. I am so impressed with this gimbal and look forward to seeing what the competition bring out to combat it.
I took the Weebill S along with me across Berlin, Prague, and Cape Town to see what it could do.

By far the best gimbals to use for this are either the Zhiyun Crane 2 or Crane Plus. I also recommend getting the Zhiyun Dual Mini Grip as this reduces arm fatigue hugely.
-Adobe After Effects CC -Adobe Lightroom CC -Final Cut Pro X
Step 1: Connect your camera to the Crane. Sony and other brand cameras support shutter control from the gimbal. If your camera has a built in intervalometer you can use that instead.
Step 2: Install the correct ND filter onto your camera. For these shots I used an ND1000 filter. You can also use a variable ND filter. The filter will have to be quite dark if you are shooting your hyperlapse during the day. At night you don't need a filter at all. You want to have your camera set to 0.5 second exposure. This is very important to get the motion blur in your final video. You can shoot anything from 1/4 second to 0.8s shutter speed though. The lens you use for your hyperlapse is also very important. I like using ultra wide angle lenses as they give the best effect. For these I used the Laowa 9mm f/2.8 lens for APS-C.
Step 3: Balance you camera on the gimbal. If you don't know how, here is an instructional video: youtu.be/pjyItiLXdPs
Step 4: Turn on your gimbal and set it to 3-axis lock mode. You don't want the gimbal to follow your movement while walking.
Step 5: Line up your shot and connect your phone to the gimbal through the ZY Play App.
Step 6: If you want no movement in your camera choose the time-lapse option from the video modes in the ZY Play app. Set your time interval to 1s. (This is how often you camera will take a photo) Set your record time to anywhere between 3-10 minutes. The longer your hyperlapse the longer of a video you will end up with. A 5 minute hyperlapse equates to 12s video. Set the app to save form as photo. This will store the individual photos to your camera.
If you'd like to do a moving hyperlapse then you need to choose "moving time-lapse" from the drop down menu in the app. Then you first choose which direction you want the camera to point when the hyperlapse starts. Then after you've saved that, you move the camera to where you want the camera to point to once the hyperlapse is finished. This is a bit of guess work and you will have to use trial and error to figure this out. Then once you've saved that point use the settings as if you were shooting a normal hyperlapse.
Step 7: Start walking. Walk very smoothly without moving the gimbal side to side or up and down. This is very important for a smooth hyperlapse. Also make sure that you walk at a consistent speed otherwise your video will look strange once it's finished.
Step 8: Once the hyperlapse is finished scroll through the photos to make sure that nothing went wrong and it looks good. If you made a mistake or it doesn't look great then restart.
Step 9: Compile the photos into a video. Here is a video tutorial if you don't know how to do this: youtu.be/to9xE7ssPms
Step 10: Stabalize the time lapse in warp stabilizer in Adobe After Effects. This is pretty important and will make your video look much better in most cases. Here is a tutorial on how to use the warp stabilizer: youtu.be/XS8BWjRFAPI
Step 11: Render and enjoy your awesome new hyperlapse!
I decided to learn how to balance stones and documented my progress along the way. This video is very similar, in format, to Mike Boyd's videos. This is because I initially made it as a guest video for his channel.
