Recorded 2 weeks ago on a GoPro Hero 4 Black, with a Feiyu Tech G4S gimbal. ProTune on, native WB, flat colour profile, original at 2.7k, scaled down to 1080, 60fps

All edited in Adobe Premiere Pro

C&C welcome
 
Haha, I do indeed.... Wasn't sure if I'd heard this song on his vlog or not. Avoided all the ones I know I've heard lol
 
:) Busted.

The one thing Casey goes on about repeatedly is that for video the story is king, everything should revolve around telling the story, and there isn't really one in your video, you're not alone though, I'm the same. I have been doing video in the Peak District all summer while I've been out doing photography, but I haven't really got a story to link them all together.
If you want some constructive criticism then there are a lot of shots where the footage is juddery, or the GoPro is struggling with the exposure, in some shots the sky is overexposed and greyed out, in others the foreground is too dark. In others the exposure is changing mid shot.
My equipment is similar to yours, GoPro 4 silver, feiyu G4, I also use a Canon 70d and I'm starting to come to the conclusion that I want keep camera movement to an absolute minimum, that 'bounce' as you walk along starts to get a little annoying.
Please don't think I'm having a go, I'm around a similar place to you, all I can say is keep taking loads of footage, be self critical and work out what works and what doesn't, and keep that in mind when you take your footage.

The judder is the gimbal when you "push it to its limits" (when passing a certain point on one axis)

As for story, this was more of a test. It was all shot I Native WB, Flat Colour Profile, Low Sharpness etc etc and then colour corrected in Premiere Pro.

I've come to the conclusion I could just leave it all in auto

No that's fine, it's all part of the learning curve.
Just keep asking yourself how could that be shot better.
The GoPro handled the exposure better in the second video, I'm guessing it's because you took the footage early morning or late evening when the sky wasn't as bright, rather than the settings.
I wish I could run that fast :)
 
I have a few YouTube channels, one of which has a video with over 75,000 views, and I think more than 250,000 over the whole channel. But those are all detailing videos, so kinda serves a purpose...

Trying to do more "out n about" videos these day.

Off to NYC again in a couple of weeks, so plenty more footage to grab
