Casey Neistat just sold me on the DJI Mavic Pro

Ok, I take it all back. I no longer think the GoPro Karma is the drone I want. After watching Casey here use and carry the DJI Mavic Pro, I can say that I am sold on this small form factor even if the camera cannot come off of the drone itself like on the GoPro Karma.

What it's like to fly on a First Class seat on Emirates

The video editing style of Casey Neistat

Nerdwriter focuses one of his recent videos on famous YouTuber and internet personality Casey Neistat.

What's interesting here is what we don't see in Casey's videos. That is, how many takes it might take him to film a sequence, or how he essentially has to run his shots TWICE -- once to set the camera in place, then back again so he's out of frame, and then once again running back into frame so he can edit the shot of him running into frame for us to see. When you think about it, Casey must be running zigzags and circles all day long just to make his videos look like he is running from one point to the next.
