Mate. I can't recognise you without 400 flies trying to get into your mouth. Your drone content is so good that it comes with extra "fly/flies". Love your stuff. Very clear, very informative.
Hahaha I'm definitely glad to have left the flies behind in Aus. Filming is so much easier without the kamikaze flies 😂 Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the content! 😀
Good job Justin. Key points that you explain and that make you stand out from other channels: 1) You can layer moves on top of each other 2) The gimbal's moves are not included in the CC feature. I hope you will do a video on Waypoints as well that will not only explain what everybody else explains but also how the drone moves and how the gimbal moves in transition between actual waypoints after they are set.
Thank you! I try to cover the basics plus the things that I have noticed that make a substantial difference to how you use the features. A waypoints video is in the pipeline too, I'm just figuring out the querks of how it all works so I can give a good explanation 😀
These details show that you are diligent in your analysis and your explanations are clear and concise with great speech delivery. I very often feel that some channels re-package others' content with no new information, I definitely not feel like this with your channel. You clearly do your own in-depth homework. I can only encourage you to keep going and wish you all the success you deserve. I will be keenly waiting for your next video!
@@JustinBainbridgeYT Hello Justin. When you do the Waypoints video try to mention that there's a 'manual' selection in some of the parameters like 'heading', 'zoom' and 'gimbal tilt' which allows the operator to change those settings on the fly
@psoon04286 Hi there, my waypoints video had been out for around a month now, and I made sure to cover manual control of the heading/gimbal in the video. You can check it out here th-cam.com/video/KHiX8gerzAM/w-d-xo.html 😃
You're welcome bro! Yes, if I remember right, you can program the Fn button to cruise control on the RC-N2 I'm 90% sure that it's possible, but I could be wrong.
Comment,Justin I watched over 2000 videos on TH-cam about drones,your video on cruise control nailed it.i learned 3 pieces of crucial information on that short video.good luck on TH-cam.i am a subscriber as of 6/18/2024,🤠🇺🇸
Hey! Wow I'm glad you found my video! Yep I always like to be thorough but structuer the videos ina way that's easy to follow along and understand. Welcome to the community! 😃
Yeah, cruise control is my favourite flight feature of the Mini 4 Pro. It's so useful in so many different situations. A lot of people aren't aware how powerful it is 😃
Great tutorial. I didn't even know cruise control was a thing. I've been flying the original mavic for years but just picked up the Mini 4 Pro about a month ago. Now I can't wait to play around with the cruise control feature.
Another smashing detailed, yet simple tutorial Justin. 👌 Really useful, as you've taught me more than I already knew. Love your educational approach and appreciate all you're doing for the drone community. 👍 Kaz, Sydney
Thank you Kaz! Very kind words indeed 🙏 just doing my best to help everyone have a positive experience and get footage they are really proud of. Comments like this really make my day. I will continue to keep putting out content like this. There are some really big things coming up next! 😁
Wonderful, just what I was looking for regarding this feature. Didn't have to search elsewhere, this video explained it all clearly. I just subscribed.
Thank you! I do try to make these complex things easy to understand so we can all make the most out of our drones. You're going to love it! I use it every time I fly. It's my favourite feature on the mini 4 pro. I was using it just an hour ago actually 😅
Nicely explained. Great location, I might add. Thanks for the post. I was aware of cruise control, but had never used it. I sure will now. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Yeah it's something that people heard about, but not a lot of people know just how useful it can be. I'm glad you can now enjoy Cruise Control! 😀
S**T, that was brilliant, the layer effect is so easy to follow, I watched your active track control yesterday, i did comment and you did reply, thank you. Have subbed, really enjoy the way you present your channel, cant wait to get out and use some of the tips from your vids on my next video, i will be posting on my channel, if they come out ok lol, thanks again........love the area that you are in makes me want to go on holiday lol Ste
Thanks Ste! Not many people know about the ability to add the cruise inputs one by one, but I believe it's one of the best features of this drone. I use it everytime without fail. I'm glad you like the way things happen around here, welcome to the community! 😀 Be sure to share a link when you've posted something so I can check it out! Yes I feel so lucky to be able to have the opportunity to give this TH-cam game a good crack and even moreso in a beautiful place like this. Haha you'll need to get a little holiday booked! 🏖️
Very welcome Justin. Yes i will deffo put a link up on here. You can then give me pointers after watching how to improve . thanks again @@JustinBainbridgeYT
Thanks for the video dude..i was wondering how to use cc and now i understand thanks to your simple instructions..btw what part of the world are you living now..although you are obviously from the uk..wish i had your beautiful scenery to make my mini 4 shots so much better..keep up the good work dude.!
Hey dude! Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you found the video useful. I'm in Thailand at the moment, but heading to Bali in a few weeks. A nice location does make things a bit easier but there are still ways to show of any scene well 😃
Nice video, super helpful! New subscriber! Thanks a lot! 🙏This will probably trigger people, but it has to be said, you don't pan down, you tilt down. No animosity meant!
Thank you! haha yeah some people might get triggered but it's all good. Yep tilt down is the right term but there's a lot going through my head when filming a video so slips of the tongue are always going to happen from time to time 😂 Glad you found the video useful!
@@JustinBainbridgeYT Mate, your energy, screen presence and charisma is what makes your videos engaging, that and your excellent information and experience! Peace from Cornwall!
@@theraywong I made a full video on hand launching the mini 4 pro, In the video I show you the technique for pushing the sticks. Here's the link - th-cam.com/video/eNcH7ycFDcM/w-d-xo.html
Tutorial was great and the end result of combined inputs will help for sure. But to add a little bit of criticism: the examples at the end almost all used gimbal input which are not created with "only using cruise control" 😉
Hey! There is a permanent button on the screen to change from horizontal to vertical, hence why I changed this button to be used for cruise control. And it doesn't affect the ability to take a photo 😃
What would be the best settings for rc-n2 with mobile? Tapping FN button looks difficult when you are in middle of setting both gimbals position? Maybe changing some other buttons like this one that change from photo to video?
I think that's the only option from my research. It looks like the Fn button is the only programmable one on that radio. Without one here, there's not much else I can suggest at this moment, you could see if you can program the photo/video button but the manual says only Fn is programmable.
My friend is going on a trip to Alaska ! He is totally torn between purchasing the Mini 4 Pro & Avata 2 . Thoughts? I have a Phantom 4 Obsidian edition. I’d like to sell it to but a smaller drone. I too need to decide between Mini Pro 4 & Avata 2. Thanks.
Ooo personally, I think you'd capture nicer footage of Alaska with a stabilised drone. Even though the Avata 2 will be more fun. The vast snowy landscapes will look very nice from the Mini 4 Pro. I'd take both if I could, but if I had to pick just one for that trip, I'd probably go with the Mini. Very hard though as I am really enjoying the Avata 2 at the moment. Hope this helps 😃
@odinata Hey! Yes, I also put a reply on that comment. But I'll say it again here incase there was an issue. There's no way to do those things with Cruise control as it's based on control inputs rather than location based inputs. Hope this helps 😃
It is not working on my mini 4 as you describe. As I change the movement it does not lock it it. I have to start the movement then lock it in. Will to change the cruse control as i change directions like you describe.
Hi! Are you on the latest firmware? You also have to make sure that you keep hold of the stick that you're making adjustment to whilst you click the C2 button, then release it to add the input.
@i-Wander Nope, cruise control can't be used in combination with tracking functions unfortunately. I haven't tried recently, but I would imagine it hasn't changed 😃
@@JustinBainbridgeYT i have just seen a channel who has tried and apparently it worked but not sure how legit this is. I will have to try when the weather is good in my place. I would like to see how you can do this as well. This is the title of his youtube vid......."Mini 4 Pro - Orbits made Super Easy using Cruise Control and Spotlight Mode" th-cam.com/video/R87Y60YVlWA/w-d-xo.html
Is it the best drone for indoors shooting ? Is there minimum speed for CC ? And can it CC when rolling right to left or opposite ? (Instead of forward)
I wouldn't really recommend fliyng indoors with a drone that doesnt have prop guards. As for CC the minimum speed will be the minimum input you can put on the sticks. I find for really slow speeds it's easier to just use waypoints. Yep you can use cruise control in whatver direction you want. It just locks the input on the sticks, so whatever you are doing, it'll continue to do.
@JustinBainbridgeYT yes I too thought so, am shooting for big indoors events and weddings usually in huge halls with high roof (u can watch my most recent video if u like) I used the air 2s to shoot there and it was really tricky coz it doesn't have side sensors so it actually crashed once and fell despite having prop guards, and moving it side ways from right to left was really incredibly hard to do slowly, but some clients insist on the weirdest requests ever, am considering a mini 4 since it got all around obstacle avoidance, small for indoors shoots, and this CC thing seems like it can help a bit with getting g the job done especially orbiting an object indoors (havent tried yet)
Do one on Waypoints,,, thanks.
