I'm gonna give it a shot. I'm sure its not going to be an easy feat seeing how fast and unpredictable these Estes Rockets can be.

Any recommendations?

good job. explained well, well spoken...not so introverted anymore, you may be ready for public speaking
like the prop blur, I've used 30 shutter speed against Sparks 30 fps, but did not have a subject as active as drone props. I'll revisit with angled side view of passing cars.
thank you

I have some recommendations as I videoed the SystemsGO! Rockets 2018 this past April.

Thanks! It seems I'm getting a little more comfortable as time goes on... Which is great really because that's one of the reasons I started this channel. Trying to step completely out of my comfort zone.

I think @pmshop is SME of this topic with rockets. For still photos I would probably go with a faster shutter speed to try and capture the rocket in as much detail as possible... If that's the look you're going for.

The guy flying the Phantom 4 was a stranger,we didn’t planned this shot together,we are just two guys who randomly came there to fly our drones and I thought that it was a fun thing to do,so I captured the Phantom 4 when we are flying.
