I was suprised you did not mentioned de Mini pro 3, bur you already fixed it now😊 I wonder how you can fix a 5-hour timelapse with the Osmo action 3. Do you use an external power bank for this? Thanks for your nice and learning videos.
I shall shoot more hyperlapse videos. You have ignited the flame. But I must speak of your shirt which put me in mind of my dear friend, Ernest Hemingway. Ernest and I enjoyed many glasses of Scotch at Sloppy Joe’s Bar in Key West, Florida in another life of mine. In 1931-32 he asked me my opinion on various aspects of his soon-to-be published “Death in the Afternoon.” Ernest loved the excitement of the bull fighting arenas in Spain and put together a marvelous work. I let him know my feelings of the brutality of it all and I think it helped to temper his final draft. Working with him on this nonfiction work taught me much about fear and courage, metaphysics, and the meaning and essence of life. Cheers from Wisconsin, U.S.A. my friend.
Now, funny you should say that, as the t-shirt is a memento of a former life running as a bull on the streets of Pamplona, goring many a foolhardy tourist who thought he could out run me and my bovine peers... Happy days..... 🐾🐾 All the best as ever George 🤠
Excellent video, Ian! I have been obsessed with timelapse, motionlapse, and hyperlapse starting with my GoPro Hero 4 Black, then the DJI Pocket 2, now the DJI Pocket 3, and of course the DJI Mini 4 Pro. Excellent tutorial, and amazing scenery. I loved the rolling fog and round-a-bout scenes. Getting the right amount of motion blur with ND filters is also fun. Thanks for sharing!
i have been doing a hyperlapse on a construction site that just started around the corner from my house.. so good timing! thank you for your videos! Rick
I’ve gone through a fair few tutorials and I’m slowly getting the hang of Hyperlapses on my Mini 4. It’s the first time that I’ve found a reason to use my filters during the day to try and keep the shutter open as long as possible. I really liked your projects of filming at different times of day and different seasons from spring to autumn. Cheers
Great video, Ian. I’ve done a couple of hyper lapse of sunsets in my tik tok when I was first getting to know the drones. Now to do some trios like you and really put them through their paces 👍🏻
Thanks for a great video. Have used it a few times but never to any real success. This has helped me clear up how to get more effect from my shots. Thanks. 🙏😊
Great vid Ian, I think a lot of people don’t fully understand the hyperlapse function. I’d heard about it but didn’t get it until I watched your vid. Thanks! Love seeing the doggies too! 🙂
Appreciate seeing this demonstrated. As someone who hates editing video, this seems like somewhat of a compromise. I've never used waypoints before, but the idea of repeating missions over longer time periods gears itself nicely towards longer term projects. 👍
Ian can you please test and review the latest Dji Fly App and firmware update for the Mini 4 Pro, these are dated 26th June 2024 - Many thanks in advance. Cheers!
Tks for this informative video. One thing im missing: do you have experiences/suggestions to share about aperture values, this in terms of day/night, kind of object (e.g. clouds/vehicles)...? Cuddles to Teddy and have a bright time, greez from Switzerland
Only the Mavic 3 series have a variable aperture which is why I don't mention it. Given the wide range of focus, I think only speed of what your tracking versus the daylight should be the only considerations for your aperture. 👍🏻
Great video Ian! Do you know the best way to create a waypoint hyperlapse but having a locked POI for the camera to focus on when executing the waypoint mission? 😊
I hadn't tried that but imagine you'll tap and drag the subject on screen to create the green box. Unsure if you'd do that before or after mapping the waypoints... I'll have a go 👍🏻
Yes, Air 2S, Mavic 2 Pro and probably a few more. Their set-up is slightly different and I did a video on them a couple of years ago too... I bet car headlights look good with longer shutter speed at night 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Ian, sorry a bit late to the party here I know. Had my mini 4 for nearly 12 months now and only recently started playing with Hyperlapse. One thing that annoys me and I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing or it's just an inherent problem due to the hyperlapse video being created from photographs is the complete difference in colour balance between a hyperlapse video and a regular video despite both being taken in the same flight. Is it a case of adjusting and matching the colour balance as best as possible in video editing software or are there steps we can take to help the two match better prior to flying? Thanks for another great educational video as always.
If you have already saved a waypoints mission in ‘normal’ mode, can you then recall that mission and use it in hyperlapse mode, or do you have to record it through the hyper lapse mode to use it in hyperlapse mode?
Hello Ian. Do you plan on making a vid about the network dongle that can placed inside the Air 3...it is now available in the UK... Was just wondering if it is worth it... as in one years free subscription then a payment??
I do have a question; I bought the mini pro 4 and will use it on the great divide mountain bike route. What I hope to do, can’t find it so far and would like to ask you. I have seen the majority but I still would like to ask this question; I would like to film myself. The drone is hovering along the route. And it is on follow me mode. Is it possible to cycle along while the drone is following me? This while the drone stays where it is hovering. Is this possible? Menno from the Netherlands.👋👋
Yes. Maybe I need to do a little video on this, but all you need to do is have the drone up in the air, facing you, draw around yourself as a subject and choose POI. That locks the drone onto you but doesn't move the drone In any actual direction unless you move the sticks. So if you don't move any sticks, it will simply turn and follow you as you ride past. That's my theory anyway...
Hey Ian, will the Mavic 3 let you do a Hyperlapse without actually being in the air? I wanted to set the camera up and do a long hyperlapse without actually flying.
Short, sweet and very informative, thank you! Question though, whats the story of the Long Man of Wilmington? Seems so random, there has to be a great story behind it.
Can you get RAW pictures off of the SD card so you can do your own time lapse? I like the option of sending time lapse photos into Lightroom and then putting them into my editing timeline.
It may be "easy to setup", but it is much harder to master getting a great hyperlapse for scenes with different motion or lighting and weather conditions. It really takes a lot of practice and trial and error, which is probably why many don't use this feature more. Also the Mini 3 Pro also does hyperlapse (no waypoints).
I was gonna mention the ferns and the autofocus issue, until I read the comments (oops I have just mentioned it . Maybe the dog, possibly a westie (correct me if I am wrong) was the star of the show.
Excellent video. Especially the explanation about interval. I would humbly suggest to be careful with place objects behind you. The fern was fighting for focus on your camera. Also, the rocking backward and forward didn't help the focus on your camera. Not a criticism. Just a helpful suggestion to make your videos easier to focus on you rather that what is happening on screen.
Sorry Ian but can you clarify the length variable please - the examples you show show a shot every 3 seconds and a length of 10 seconds which would give 3 shots in total however your footage is showing 250 shots being taken. Am I confusing this setting with something else? Cheers
No, length refers to the final, completed output video that is produced when all pictures spliced together by the drone to produce the Hyperlapse. So length of 10 seconds means 10 seconds at 25 frames per second, meaning 250 frames in total. 250 frames taken 3 seconds apart will therefore take 750 seconds or around 12 minutes to film, in order to produce that 10 second long output Hyperlapse. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi! I fly Mini 4 pro+RC N2+ GALAXY TAB9 :) My new DJI Fly version is 1.13.5. Drone software 01.00.0500. When taking a hyperlapse, the program hangs after taking one photo and then the image becomes black and white. Does mini4pro with RC2 have the same problem? I have no problems with Hyperlapse on mini3pro with RC N1 :)
No, so it sounds like the Galaxy Tab can't handle the fast photo writeing perhaps? Or do you have a micro SD card in the drone that's not fast enough write speed? (needs to be over 90 Mb/s write)
@@IaninLondon Hello :) Thank you for noticing the issue Hiperlaps! Firstly, photos are saved on the drone's memory card, not on the tablet (in the case of the RC N2). I have the following cards: SanDisk Extreme and Extreme PRO 128GB - UHS-II/U3, A2. In my opinion, this is a problem of changes in the drone software version 01.00.0500. Nobody wants to confirm that they updated to version 01.00.0500 and successfully obtained hyperlapse :(
Easy; don't move the drone. Just use 'free' (the first "least useful" mode) and point the drone in the right direction and then don't touch the sticks whilst it does the hyperlapse :)
Sorry; forgot to mention the Mini 3 Pro also has these features too ! And yeah, the camera's auto focus seemed more interested in the fern than me! 😉
I was suprised you did not mentioned de Mini pro 3, bur you already fixed it now😊 I wonder how you can fix a 5-hour timelapse with the Osmo action 3.
Do you use an external power bank for this?
Thanks for your nice and learning videos.
And the Air 2S
Yes. Exactly. You need to attach a power bank to get that length....👍🏻
And the Mavic 2 pro.... Osmo pocket... Inspire... This was just covering the main models used by most people 👍🏻
Was gonna ask that 🙂

Quite simply, brilliant.
Good tutorial, now I just have to remember to take more of these. Thanks for sharing.

The Hebrides footage was awesome! Especially the cloud fall on Barra. Slainte!
Have to give this a go now. As always, nice concise introduction and tutorial encouraging me to "have a go"! Thanks Ian 👍
Excellent tutorial! Love the saving of the waypoints to use again from day to night etc. Thanks!
It was fascinating seeing how those waypoints could enable the creation of those beautiful transitions. Many thanks! Beautiful work :)
Inspired by the transitions using waypoint at different times. Thank you Ian.
i have been doing a hyperlapse on a construction site that just started around the corner from my house.. so good timing! thank you for your videos! Rick
That's such a great situation for it.... If you try to fly at the same time of day too and it will blend better 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Ian, a really great and interesting video. I am hoping to attend the GADC Big Meet eng of Aug, I might have to give ot ago there
Thanks for the video. A feature easily forgotten and I will have to give it a try.

Hmm, I used hyperlapse on my old MA2 sometime ago. The waypoint save didn't work as well as I'd hoped that time. Will revisit
Brilliant, thank you.

@IaninLondon sorry, im so dumb. I meant shutterspeed n not aperture... getting older🙉
Beaut vid. Thanks from Canada.
Great video on Hyperlapse will have to give this a go, will you be doing a video on how to use slow motion function on the DJI Mini 4 Pro?

Very informative, even for a non-droner like me, and gorgeous video. Bonus: my buddies Ted & Molly in the background!
Always good when Ted adds to the acoustics.... 🐾🐾
Great video Ian loveley cloud and rolling fog shots. Shame the Mini 2 pro is not able to do any of these shots ... Always enjoy your tutorials...
True, but the Mini 3 Pro can.... I just didn't mention that in the video
Air 2s does this also. I like doing a night hyperlapse with a longer shutter speed. I get some good light streaks.
Yes, Air 2S, Mavic 2 Pro and probably a few more. Their set-up is slightly different and I did a video on them a couple of years ago too... I bet car headlights look good with longer shutter speed at night 👍🏻👍🏻

Off topic question: what camera are you using to capture the talking head video?
Hello Ian. Do you plan on making a vid about the network dongle that can placed inside the Air 3...it is now available in the UK... Was just wondering if it is worth it... as in one years free subscription then a payment??
I do have a question;

The drone is hovering along the route.
And it is on follow me mode.

Can you get RAW pictures off of the SD card so you can do your own time lapse? I like the option of sending time lapse photos into Lightroom and then putting them into my editing timeline.
You get between 200 and 400 pictures.... That's a lot of processing! You get jpegs, not raws on the individual files..
@@IaninLondon ok, thanks
Shot my first hyperlase today..
It may be "easy to setup", but it is much harder to master getting a great hyperlapse for scenes with different motion or lighting and weather conditions. It really takes a lot of practice and trial and error, which is probably why many don't use this feature more. Also the Mini 3 Pro also does hyperlapse (no waypoints).
I think it's a practice makes perfect situation ;)
I have DJI mini three can I do the Time-lapse and all that good stuff for mine?
mini4 pro - Can you add ND and use 10 sec long shutter for hyperlapse?
That would give you a very different smoothed effect 👍🏻
I was gonna mention the ferns and the autofocus issue, until I read the comments (oops I have just mentioned it . Maybe the dog, possibly a westie (correct me if I am wrong) was the star of the show.
Ted the Westie is always the star 🐾🐾😉

How can you trust somebody who talks about photography issues but is out of focus? 😂
Yeah, the auto focus was playing up with the garden plants. Don't think that makes me untrustworthy tho... 🤔
@@IaninLondon Of course not.
Does anyone else have a problem on the rc2 screen going dark, as if the led’s go out…
White beaches in UK, well I never
Autofocus in the garden hates you 😂😅
Too right! Was this close to refilming 😂
Hyper lapse is underused, but in your case it’s focus 🤣
Yeah, the fern really wanted to be the star...... 😂
Amazing video, but your camera's Autofocus algorithm sucks..
Ha yeah, it was more interested in my giant fern than me! Won't make that mistake again 😂
