Please drop me a comment and let me know how you are using the Mavic Air Quickshots in different ways. I am finding new ways every time I try these out. Would really like to see how others are using this automated flight mode.
Jeff Greene How are you , thank you so much for you help with quick shots , I have a question , is it posible to move the gimble of the camera up and down while it is in motion of doing the quick shot and also can you show a video of it ? One more thing is it posible to change the speed of the drone at which it will do the quick shot ??? Sorry one more question lol at which altitude it is better to do quick shots and how far of a distance should you be from the objeck ??
you prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
@Jaden Reginald Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Jeff, great again! You are the first one I noticed who showed Quick Shot with neutral objects instead of shooting yourself ! Thanks for that hint. Reinhard from Hamburg, Germany
Thanks RGedack! I stumbled across this the other day while panning down setting up a quickshots. I noticed cars driving by on the street and each one of them had a green tracking dot on them. Didn't really think about it until several hours later at home. I wondered, "what else can i track"?
I'm glad you tried using something other than yourself as the focal point, I've been wondering if and how to use other objects but I'm really new to the Mavic Air and still learning and trying not to do something stupid and lose or damage the drone or someone or something else, great videos, please keep them coming, its much appreciated.
Thanks for the great video!! Your shots around the tower inspired me..... Boomerang & Helix would be awesome to use around a light house. Thanks again. 👍😊
This is awesome. I never thought to use structures or things other than myself or a person for the Quickshots settings. This is a great way to reveal things. Thanks for this.
I know you spend a lot of time on these videos. I, we, appreciate it. I just - 5 minutes ago - got my RED Mavic Air straight from DJI in China. It took a week from ordering it to Washington, DC metro/my door. I also have the Phantom 4, but as you might know, it's a pain to carry around. And I have the Spark, but it's doesn't have enough "muscle" and quality. Great tips/tutorial!
I just got my Mavic Air yesterday. Your videos are pretty awesome, they've helped me out bunches (I started watching them while it was still on the way from DJI). I haven't gotten my ND filters yet, but hopefully soon!
Jeff, this was really helpful as a new Mavic Air owner. As you, I was not interested in the new Quick Shot features for "selfies", but rather more interested in focusing on structures or nature. I was also curious about the new features working in less than wide open areas as most video posts have been done by others. I live in the mountains of North Caroline and have the same concerns as you as far as these new features with surrounding trees and such. You addressed some of these key issues -- so that was much appreciated. Keep posting. : )
Thanks Lamont Gilliland! Hello from Raleigh. FYI, I also just saw in a BK video that you can double tap the "helix" symbol to change the height and distance for the helix shot. I had not noticed this and was not able to get above the trees(30m, or 100ft) while targeting myself. Super helpful to know.
Jeff, figured as much with your State College video : ) We're just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, between Blowing Rock and Boone. Looking forward to time in the air with the MA's less obtrusive form factor than my current P3A. Thanks for passing on the helpful hint on the Helix.
Thank you TheBirkin7, I also just saw in a BK video that you can double tap the "helix" symbol to change the height and distance for the helix shot. I had not noticed this and was not able to get above the trees(30m, or 100ft) while targeting myself. Super helpful to know.
Wow, only just getting my head around this drone thing, I have phantom 3 pro, mavic pro, now the mavic air, got about 10 flights in from day one, it’s so hard to get one bad experience with the phantom, and ya confidence as gone, rock bottom so to speak, I actually didn’t know that there were all these automated flight modes until I stumbled on you Jeff, I know do chimney stack surveying with absolute ease, if ya ever in the UK, I owe ya a beer my friend, thank you Jeff.
Hey by the way Jeff, I use your video to help me with my first flights. At first I was not able to understand how to use those quick shots. I’m looking to go further with my drone very soon.
Subbed from UK great informative vid for a brand new magic air user like me, question please do you have to restart the whole set up process when you need to change the battery in the magic air for a freshly charged one ? Thanks.
Alwyn Farmer not really. When i need a battery, i turn off the mavic air, swap the battery, and turn power back on. I leave the controller and dji go4 ap running the whole time....so less than 1 min total.
Hi Z, yep. quick little technique can be used called "speed ramping". Any video editing software should be able to to it. Here is how it do it: th-cam.com/video/ddtaWz7grtY/w-d-xo.html
As a newbie I like this since I'm still intimidated by free flying. If I can get up to a certain height, pick my subject, and let the drone do the rest, that seems like some major stress reduction. One thing I'd like to know more about is your editing techniques; how do yo do the little speed ups and slow downs? What kind of transitions do you like? Are those hard transitions or do you actually use canned transitions? Etc. If you have any videos about that please point me to them. Thanks!
Thanks for the thumbs up David. I really enjoy the speed ramps. Seems like a good way to get different angles of a much longer shot without the clip being overly long. Here's a video i did on the techniquep: th-cam.com/video/ddtaWz7grtY/w-d-xo.html You can doing this in pretty much any video editor, though I use Final Cut Pro. Most of the transitions that i use are stock transitions from FCP X, though i have picked additional ones through Ryan Nangle's channel as well. Definitely worth checking out.
I think the Quickshots are all based on a visual “lock-on” (vs. a GPS reference). As such, they are designed for close-in references. The most likely close-in reference is the pilot. They are simple to use and provide DJI a means to teach techniques that can be models for manual control or modes such as Tripod or Cinematic. My biggest issue with these modes is that they are so tightly defined. I, for one, would like to have a circle continue until I hit pause. But ... for Quick-and-dirty simplicity, I would use the Quickshots. This might be when I am traveling and filming recreationally vs. when I am doing “production” work. I thank DJI for providing this kind of toolkit.
Russell Schundler thanks for the comment, I 100% agree. I would really like to see the ability to control the gimbal wheel during a quickshot like the circle, helix, and boomerang. Fingers crossed for a fw update😁
When I bring up the quick shots, the black bar at the bottom of the screen which shows you the different quick shots, after selecting for example dronie, how to you get rid of that black bar since my object (myself) is covered by that rectangular black bar. After I press dronie, that black bar stays and doesn't go away. Using an android note 4
Agri8TV yes this will work! I would like to see this. I think each quickshot has set amount of time (like 30 secs) but you can definitively track an object like a tractor.
Jeff Greene Cool! I am waiting until the fly more combo is available for ordering in the Netherlands. If I got my mavic I will test it and let you know if it worked. Thanks for answering.
Thank you for making video please if you can make a video about a bicycle and what you have to do to use the mobile phone only and explain what happened to home point
Jeff Greene yea when taking a selfie. Like to post on social media. Rotating the camera on the drone so it isn’t taking the picture horizontally but vertically. I think it’s referee to as portrait and the other way is called landscape?
Chu Udoh oh i see. This is done in the camera settings. Go in there and you will see that your photo is currently on 16:9. Change this to 4:3(portrait). Now all of you pictures will be sized correctly.
Jeff, I noticed your white balance was in auto mode during the quick shot modes. Can you have your camera setting in manual while using quick shots or does it default to auto?
Albert Aguilera i have heard others having issues where quick shots puts them in 1080 instead of 4k video. I have not had this problem though. In this shot i was filming before i bought the nd filters so i left the auto wb enabled. Usually i set up everything manually.
Hi there Jeff. I sometimes use those Quickshots, they are REALLY awesome, BUT only if there is an open place around, as you very good mentioned in the Video. I tryed circle and boomerang in high-trees Environment and, well, better not to speak about the outcome... For God's sake, dear Air users, don't rely 100% on the proximity sensors! :)
Awesome. Just got my Mavic and flew it 2 times but I am 3 feet from the ground and it wont land. I had to hit auto land it wouldn't let me? Any Ideas?? Thank You
Heli4213 yep you need to hold the left stick down until it lands. The mavic will pause at 2 ft (sensing the ground as an obstacle). So just hold left stick down until it lands AND the propellers stop spinning. Good to go!
Jeff Greene Ok. I thought it was like the P3 Professional and you hold the stick a little to descend and when its on the ground pull the stick all the way down. I didn't pull the Mavic stick all the way down was afraid the motors would stop in the air . Can you lets say pull the stick all the way down from a 100 feet and it will just descend without issue?? Thanks🙂🙂
Jeff Greene Seems like you're the expert on the Mavic for sure. One more question if possible nobody else seems to know I did a little video in some of the shooting modes and when I played it back on by computer and on my phone it played fast it didn't play at normal speed is that a setting in the drone?? 🙂🙂
Thank you ! I find your videos very informative and also very helpful as I too have just purchased a new Mavic Air. I am relatively new to the drone world as far as camera drone, but I really enjoy the hobby and would love to make more of it that just a hobby. I shot a few videos on my own channel I have posted them, check them out let me know what you think. I’m in the process of editing a really cool set of videos I shot with some good close-ups of some windmills, the sunset and the lighting looks spectacular. I hope I can do the videos justice with some good editing on Final Cut Pro X. Unfortunately I am also new to the program and it has a really steep learning curve.
Thanks for nice comment Heluva Flight! I just watched the vids on your channel, and it looks like you have a nice place to fly. You definitely have a good eye so keep at it. FCP X is a bit of a learning curve, but everything you need is out there on TH-cam. I try to make one improvement with each video that i create. Then the next video is that "n" improvement plus another. Pretty soon, you've got 25 improvement ideas you can bring to each video. Enjoy the process!
Same thing happened when i tried doing a quickshot circle on a church. It just lost its activetrack and went crazy lol like the one that happened with your helix quickshot
Hello Jeff I need your help. On my TH-cam channel I put the link for the Canadian regulation on drones, I would like to do the same for the US regulation. If you can provide me the links would be appreciated. Thanks
Jeff Greene to be honest if you are not the subject, dronie can be done easily by manual. Making a smooth circle is the hard bit. Found myself wasting too much battery sorting out how some quick shots work.
Jeff Greene th-cam.com/video/jRzXxqMchCM/w-d-xo.html And I used it on the light house, the boomerang stopped so I think the rear sensors may have picked up.
I’ve got this shot idea there is a tree in the middle of this pond I want to do a rocket of the top of the tree zooming up to reveal the pond question can I select the tree and rocket over it and how do I stop the drone from crashing if it does in to the water.
Kevin Wynn sounds like a cool shot! You should be able to target the tree and do the rocket shot. After the shot completes the mavic will descend back to starting point. You can select the flight mode button at the highest point to stop rocket mode. Alternatively you could hit the pause button. Either way, obstacle avoidance should keep you out of the tree. Let me know how it turns out!
Please drop me a comment and let me know how you are using the Mavic Air Quickshots in different ways. I am finding new ways every time I try these out. Would really like to see how others are using this automated flight mode.

@Jaden Reginald Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Jaden Reginald It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out !

That is awesome! Very excited for you. Hope the weather clears up so you can enjoy flying outdoors!
Interesting timing on your "weather" comment. I just told my wife, "WOW...I can send the drone up after it snows and get super snow-view!"
Thanks Jeff. I learned exactly what I wanted to because of your video. Can't wait to go try it myself!
Cony Manriquez cool, thanks for the thumbs up!
These a great shots..looks like a lot of fun
Thank you Herman!
I just got my Mavic Air yesterday. Your videos are pretty awesome, they've helped me out bunches (I started watching them while it was still on the way from DJI). I haven't gotten my ND filters yet, but hopefully soon!
thespiritstudio that is great, i am exited for you. Have fun and thanks for thw positive comment.
I've been! It's my first drone upgrade since my DJI F550 with a GoPro.
thespiritstudio oh wow i have not heard of that one. My first was the phantom I with the gopro and fatshark goggles.
Wow! This is beautiful and so crisp. You make it look so easy!
Thank you for the positive vibes Angie!
Very useful ! more than the DJI tutorials. Thanks
Sylvain Laméricain thank you!
I will have to share with with my brother! He uses his drone all the time for filming and this will be so helpful.
Thanks AJ Life Hacks! You should fly too!
Thanks man! Your videos are always helpful!
Edward King thank you for saying that. I appreciate the feedback!

Jeff Greene ow gosh! I've been searching for that a while ago. Tnx
me to
Nailed it once again! Keep it coming :) Thank you Jeff! :)
Thank you Frean!
Keep the videos coming.....we are all learning how to get the best from the drones :)
Thank you TheBirkin7, I also just saw in a BK video that you can double tap the "helix" symbol to change the height and distance for the helix shot. I had not noticed this and was not able to get above the trees(30m, or 100ft) while targeting myself. Super helpful to know.
New video with the double tap demo?
swooshdave oh yeah sure. I was going to do a speed ramping tutorial for Final Cut Pro X. This will be a good clip to use for that purpose😁
Thank you ,it’s already added. And it will be useful for me as I plan to go on route 66 this in June.
Sweet! Sounds like a nice road trip is in the works!
Yes using an object is a great alternative on the tap fly tricks!
Bob Lupo thank you.
The 100 liked ! Nice video and info Jeff. Thank you!
Nad thank you!

ROOF SURVEYS BY RONALD J GAUNT ROOFING. That is awesome to here. That is such a great idea to survey chimneys, roofs, etc. Cheers Ronald!
Thanks Jeff, keep the vids coming..
Thank you Neil!
Great video, too many people forget you dont have to be the point of interest you can use an object.
Thank Tallguysd! I appreciate the positive comment.
Just got my Mavic air looking for to Trying those quick shots👍👍
Sweet! Have a great time. Is this you first?
No I had the spark to
Great flying, excellent editing job. I just subscribed and liked.
Drone Maniac awesome thanks for the nice comment!
Hey by the way Jeff, I use your video to help me with my first flights. At first I was not able to understand how to use those quick shots. I’m looking to go further with my drone very soon.
Thanks Sylvain, i am happy you found this helpful:) Happy Flying!
Hi Jeff great video! Do you know if mavic air quickshots modes work with tracking? I mean, can i use dronie mode while cycling?
Thanks!
That is really cool.
Patti Scharf thank you! Thanks for the thumbs up😁
Subbed from UK great informative vid for a brand new magic air user like me, question please do you have to restart the whole set up process when you need to change the battery in the magic air for a freshly charged one ? Thanks.

Thanks so much, ready to go fly now !
Okay... so this was totally new for me... VERY COOL! Holy wow! So fun! ~Elizabeth :)
Wild Woman Enchanted thanks so much! I am glad you enjoyed this.
Sweet man! That is pretty amazing
Dr Drew Brazier thank you sir!
Now with this I am able to use the Mavic even for some (semi) pro tasks, which might occur during my work.
Cool, i am glad you found this helpful!
Quick question, At 3:25-3:29 did you need to edit the video to make helix shot speed up in that way?
Hi Z, yep. quick little technique can be used called "speed ramping". Any video editing software should be able to to it. Here is how it do it: th-cam.com/video/ddtaWz7grtY/w-d-xo.html
Nice Video, like to wach, go ahead like this... 👍

Nice and clear video. Is it possible to make quickshots from moving objects like a tractor working in the field? Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Agri8TV yes this will work! I would like to see this. I think each quickshot has set amount of time (like 30 secs) but you can definitively track an object like a tractor.
Jeff Greene Cool! I am waiting until the fly more combo is available for ordering in the Netherlands. If I got my mavic I will test it and let you know if it worked. Thanks for answering.
Thank you for making video please if you can make a video about a bicycle and what you have to do to use the mobile phone only and explain what happened to home point
Barry Hadar i like that idea. Challenge accepted! 👍
How are you shooting the Quickshots in 4K. Mine will only do 1080? Thanks
Nice job
Thanks Vincent!
Hey Jeff. Can you do a tutorial of how to fly the drone and record in Portrait mode?
Chu Udoh hi which portrait mode are you referring to, the selfie quickshot, or maybe active track?
Jeff Greene yea when taking a selfie. Like to post on social media. Rotating the camera on the drone so it isn’t taking the picture horizontally but vertically. I think it’s referee to as portrait and the other way is called landscape?
Chu Udoh oh i see. This is done in the camera settings. Go in there and you will see that your photo is currently on 16:9. Change this to 4:3(portrait). Now all of you pictures will be sized correctly.
Can you manually move the gimbal during the quick shot?
Nope, the gimbal is locked once you start the quickshot.
Jeff, I noticed your white balance was in auto mode during the quick shot modes. Can you have your camera setting in manual while using quick shots or does it default to auto?
Albert Aguilera i have heard others having issues where quick shots puts them in 1080 instead of 4k video. I have not had this problem though. In this shot i was filming before i bought the nd filters so i left the auto wb enabled. Usually i set up everything manually.
Thanks my friend...this may possibly help me.....though nothing seems to....lol...God bless
Lou The Cat Tv thank you so much! One day at a time my friend.
Hi there Jeff. I sometimes use those Quickshots, they are REALLY awesome, BUT only if there is an open place around, as you very good mentioned in the Video.

Can you lets say pull the stick all the way down from a 100 feet and it will just descend without issue??
Thanks🙂🙂
Heli4213 yep it will descend normal speed only pausing as it nears the ground. Then it will land and turn off the props like normal.
Jeff Greene
Seems like you're the expert on the Mavic for sure.
One more question if possible nobody else seems to know I did a little video in some of the shooting modes and when I played it back on by computer and on my phone it played fast it didn't play at normal speed is that a setting in the drone??

Heli4213 hmmm, is it possible you were recording at 60 fps and laptop/phone was playing at 30 fps?
Thank you ! I find your videos very informative and also very helpful as I too have just purchased a new Mavic Air.

Same thing happened when i tried doing a quickshot circle on a church. It just lost its activetrack and went crazy lol like the one that happened with your helix quickshot
ForgivenessSaveMe ha ha yes kind of odd but cool at the same time since the camera was perfectly smooth!
Did I miss it, or did it seem like in the video there wasn't much to "rocket"?
I’m going outdoor doing your trick and I’ll be back
Yes Sir !
You never said anything about setting the height or speed setting for each shot. How does is know how high to go and how fast???
Hello Jeff I need your help. On my TH-cam channel I put the link for the Canadian regulation on drones, I would like to do the same for the US regulation. If you can provide me the links would be appreciated. Thanks
Sure thing here you go: www.faa.gov/uas/
I want to try a boomerang on a light house but I a a ted worried. The circle might work.
Irwin Pang or the dronie would work really well too
Jeff Greene to be honest if you are not the subject, dronie can be done easily by manual.
Making a smooth circle is the hard bit.
Found myself wasting too much battery sorting out how some quick shots work.
Irwin Pang yeah i am much better using tripod mode to fly in a circle
Jeff Greene th-cam.com/video/jRzXxqMchCM/w-d-xo.html
And I used it on the light house, the boomerang stopped so I think the rear sensors may have picked up.
Beautiful colours! You should check out my landscape aerial videos when you get chance.
I’ve got this shot idea there is a tree in the middle of this pond I want to do a rocket of the top of the tree zooming up to reveal the pond question can I select the tree and rocket over it and how do I stop the drone from crashing if it does in to the water.
Kevin Wynn sounds like a cool shot! You should be able to target the tree and do the rocket shot. After the shot completes the mavic will descend back to starting point. You can select the flight mode button at the highest point to stop rocket mode. Alternatively you could hit the pause button. Either way, obstacle avoidance should keep you out of the tree. Let me know how it turns out!
sort your audio levels out,music way to loud ....makes it hard to watch...
Hey man thanks for the feedback. I hadn't noticed the music was so loud and voice audio was so low.
