    Your camera settings make sense too, but unfortunately, DJI has removed ART profile, so its relative to what profile you're using and how experienced you are in post.

    excellent tips, I have only just received my Mavic and to get top notch footage it is a bit of a learning curve with being new to video and photography. Great advice also with regards to the shutter speed only being double what your frame rate is

  • @SimonWattsWILDPresentationsUK
    @SimonWattsWILDPresentationsUK 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Some nice ideas on settings - think cinema mode arrived post your upload which is a great pre-set. Only one thing I'd have altered that you didnt mention and the 'Mists..' film suffered for was auto-exposure nastily stepping up and down on you which of course is far from cinematic. Off auto, judge a fixed level and fix the rest in post. Thanks for the upload, I've sub'd.

  • @Hendretti
    @Hendretti 7 ปีที่แล้ว +49

    Just a quick tip, Make sure your shutter speed is only double what your frame rate is. so @ 2.7k 24 your shutter needs to be no more than 50-60. Thats why you are seeing shutter skip in your video.

    • @360views
      @360views  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Mike Hendrix that's a great tip! 180 degree shutter. I'll need to pick up nd filter. Any recommendations?

    • @myhappygecko2895
      @myhappygecko2895 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      polarpro are the most popular ones, and DJi just released their own for the mavic as well.

    • @dev.lockridge
      @dev.lockridge 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Joe Materese you need an ND filter in order to reduce the amount of light coming into the lens. This allows for lower shutter speeds which add motion blur to your video, instead of a harsh stuttering frame transition. It makes everything look smoother and much more natural. ND filters also make colors a bit more vibrant. Your shutter speed should be double you frame rate in order to utilize this trick If that didn’t help, look it up on TH-cam

    • @darksideofthedrone8260
      @darksideofthedrone8260 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I literally just attended a dji sponsored photo class. They say never use filters. Impeding light will impede quality? I fly i2.

    • @srandall31
      @srandall31 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mike is right. You really do need an ND filter to achieve a close to 1/60th of shutter speed when shooting at 30fps. This ensure the proper motion blur, otherwise you will get 'rolling shutter'. I fly I2 also.

  • @GaryVaughan
    @GaryVaughan 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video. I've had my Mavic since early Nov and having come from the P4, the sensitivity of the controller, gimbal and making the footage look smooth, it's just been difficult to try and determine what each setting does. The P4 was smooth out of the box.
    Thanks- I subbed so looking forward to more great videos.

Overall I am really impressed with my aircraft. By the way, for anyone thinking about gett8ng the mavic pro I really recommend the Alpine white if you like this color. The good news is that it comes with 3 batteries and an extra set of propellers. I am enjoying it like a little child 😀

      @rotospace 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Rich Gran - Please, in the name of all things holy, don't do any video editing in DJI's app unless it's for your eyes only...or for someone you love. When using their app, you are most likely editing the footage that's streamed back to your mobile device or tablet. It's grainy & glitchy in many frames no matter how welll connected you are too your Drone. Invest in a program like Adobe Premiere & do all your video editing with the footage captured & saved on your micro SD card.

I will over the coming weeks be trying out your tips. Where do you get your music from,.

  • @extremefilm
    @extremefilm 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cheers for the panning smoothly info I hadn't spotted that and works way better on your settings now:) The flicker your getting I presume is from having auto running on exposure or/and white balance. If you shoot full manual all the time there is no change in exposure during your shot, need the ND filters for that though. Thanks for the info and making your clip brilliant!

    • @360views
      @360views  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Kirk, thanks for the comment. I was actually cocking about with the exposure settings to see how smooth the transition would be during filming. You're absolutely right. Stick it in full manual and nail the exposure from the start! A good set of ND filters is the next on my must-buy list!

  • @stevenjohnson8993

    • @samphotoyt
      @samphotoyt 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have both and agree the stock GP is not great but there are fixes. To be honest, the Solo is much smoother and easier to get cinematic videos from. The camera is about the same overall, if you upgrade your GP lens it becomes a much better camera

    • @360views
      @360views  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Manuel, I've not shot in that format yet - was saving that for when I film some action sequences. I usually do 1080/60 when filming on my GoPro and love the footage so hopefully the drone footage will look as sharp. I'll do a comparison of all the formats soon. Thanks for the comment!
