Nice cam. I'm no pro, but just keep on filming. It looked good to me.

Only thing I see is bumping down to 720p and shooting at 60 fps instead since you were doing quite a bit of slowmo.

This. slow mo was pretty choppy. only the thing is that it was shaky but I'm not expecting you to have a glide cam at this stage.

Looks like you're off to a good start with the new camera. Here are a few things to consider in future videos.

- Use a tripod more (especially on those first couple shots.) Ideally every camera movement should have a purpose. Moving right then left (second shot) can be disorienting.

- Make sure the tripod is balanced. Having the camera nearly perfectly balanced is a good way to make your shots look a lot cleaner. Shots at an angle can make the viewer uneasy.

- Learn about white balance both on the camera and in post. Some of those shots were pretty blue but that often comes with filming so late in the day.

- However much you slow your video down, make sure you are getting at least 24 frames per second out of it. You could go a little lower but you risk having your video look choppy so its generally not a good idea. Film in 60 fps if you plan on slowing the video down.

- The shot around 33 seconds doesn't really need to be there.

Honestly, I have a glidecam HD-4000 and yeah it's amazing but you can get pretty close to the same job with a lot cheaper things like a flycam or whatever other brands are out there.
