I went to the Puerto Plata, in the Dominican Republic this month and decided to make another travel video. After my last travel video, I picked up some new gear to improve my video capturing as editing my footage from La Paz was quite difficult as most of the shots weren’t smooth. The gear I picked up was a Zhiyun Smooth Q gimbal in which allows me to take smooth video footage with my phone. A DJI Spark drone which allows me to get additional shots that you normally would not be able to get without a drone. If you have never used a DJI drone I highly recommend them. In particular, the DJI Spark has impressed me thoroughly, it is small enough to throw in your backpack while being able to take moderate winds and capture a gorgeous video and photos. In addition the app and the software on the drone was really well done and well worth the cost of the drones.
This was my first time flying the DJI Spark so I did not fly it out too far. Some of the higher and farther out group shots were taken by a friends DJI Phantom 4.
Let me know your thoughts of the video and if there is anything you think I should change for my next video.
