•  Support I'll keep my nitpicks to myself here, because I think the combination of drone and on-the-ground footage is a great idea. I hope you'll explore other ways to make that work. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  02:59, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose Drone movements are way too abrupt. It's a nice subject, just wish the execution was a little more tactful.  Mysterymanblue  05:18, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose Not enough "I want to show you something special" and too much "I play around with my drone" -- Plenz (talk) 17:41, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

  Unhelpful reasons for opposing include: "You can do better" and other criticisms of the author/nominator rather than the media. Try not to be rude to the uploader, who I'm sure has worked very hard on all of their contributions to the project.  Mysterymanblue  18:21, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

My motives were to show these springs from different viewpoints and also to capture the surroundings – as it is part of a protected area and a hiking trail – and not "play around". Granted, at the time of the filming I'd just started to acquaint myself with the drone, its possibilities and movements, hence the jerkiness etc--Sillerkiil (talk) 07:01, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I see this intention. But you have a video editing program and I recommend to use it and cut parts of the video away. I know this from my own experiences: I like my videos when they are new, but if I watch them again one year later, I find them boring and I think, I should have cut more stuff away. I promise you, you will find this video boring if you watch it again after one year! For example the footage from 0:27 until 2:00 could be removed completely or at least accelerated to 8x or 16x speed. --Plenz (talk) 10:56, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose I agree it's possible to have a video where drone movements detract from the subject. I'm not sure if they do in this video, but I guess I'm not seeing the "wow" factor or other exceptional qualities that would make me think, "this is one of the best media on Commons."

•  Comment The FISU has lots of videos with similar subject and quality available under a free license. It isn't hard to copy all of them from Youtube. What makes this particular video special? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 08:02, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

You did not defined what you meant by similar subject but I assume you meant pole-vault videos. There are in-fact only 4 videos (including the nomination) of pole-vaults but this is the best one in my opinion. The three other videos are:

1 ATHLETICS Women's Pole Vault Final - 28th Summer Universiade 2015 Gwangju (KOR) (my 2nd choice because of low quality video (only 720p))

2 Athletics Women's Pole Vault Final - 27th Summer Universiade 2013 - Kazan (RUS) (The Belgian candidate's pole snapped aka equipment failure)

3 Athletics Men's Pole vault Final #Napoli2019 (Both the candidate failed to go-over aka misses the height)

You can clearly see why the other pole-vault videos are not feature-able and the nomination is the best one. -- Eatcha (talk) 10:54, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
