I have a few recommendations:
1) Don't rotate....pretty much ever, keep all shots panning shots (left to right or vice versa), overflights, reverse overflights, rising shots, and camera pan down shots. There's a few others but circling around an object is very hard to do properly and even when it's done properly (think concentric circle perfect focus on target object) most people get a little motion sick after a few seconds.
5) A good shot is also a rising shot with the camera panning down at just the right speed to keep the target object center frame, you could have used that on the central playset.
Please use the correct terms.
Pan - A pan is a horizontal camera pivot, right to left or left to right, from a stationary position. With a simple pan on a tripod, the camera is slowly and steadily moved either to the right or left. The best pans are slow, smooth and end by coming to rest on a pre-selected scene. The director's written or spoken cue to initiate this move is either "pan right" or "pan left". On aircraft, this is the "Yaw" or "Rudder".
Tilt - The tilt is the vertical version of a pan: an up or down pivot of the camera without changing its elevation (pedestal). As with all camera moves, tilts should come to rest on a shot that's well composed. The director's cue is "tilt up" or "tilt down. There is no equivalent in rotorcraft.
Pedestal - Not tilting, but physically moving the height of the camera up or down, usually on a tripod. the director's call is "Ped Up" or "Ped Down". On a rotorcraft this movement is accomplished with the throttle.
Zoom - The term "zoom" came into existence with the variable focal length lenses common today. The director calling for "zoom out" wants the focal length changed so that the new shot encompasses a wider angle of view. "Zoom in" calls for the opposite effect. The best zooms often start and stop so smoothly that the audience's attention stays focused on the action in the scene and they don't notice the camera move. Often, a director will use the terms "push" and "pull" instead of zoom in and zoom out. In rotorcraft, you ccomplish the zoom with a "Dolly" (see below).
Truck - "Truck" is one of the terms that originated with pedestal-mounted cameras. The base of the pedestal was called a truck. A truck move is a rolling move to the right or left, parallel to a moving subject. The director's cues are "truck left" and "truck right. In a rotorcraft the closest move would be the "Roll" or "Aileron".
Dolly - A dolly is a companion move to the truck but instead of moving parallel with a moving subject, the camera moves physically closer to, or farther away from, a stationary object. Beginning videographers often mistakenly believe that zooming-in and dollying-in achieve the same result. They do not. While both moves make the object appear larger and closer, there's a substantial difference in the two techniques and the results they have on the look of the scene. Dollying changes the apparent relationship of the object to its background. Zooming doesn't change the relationship of object to background, but changes the depth of field. A director will call for a "Dolly In" or "Dolly Out". There is no direct movement in a rotorcraft, but the "Tilt" control (Elevator) with a stabilized camera gimbal will accomplish this move.
Arc - The arc is another wheeled shot that can be very effective. Imagine that you tie a string from your subject to the camera and move the camera left or right in an arc keeping the string taut as you move. The arc shot virtually circles the subject, revealing new background as the camera moves while keeping the audience's attention on the subject. It's hard to execute an arc without an extremely smooth surface or a curved-wheel and track system, but it's a stunning shot when done with finesse. If you can replicate this movement in a rotorcraft, you are truly a master.
Oh, Adam (OP) - very nice video for only your second flight.
