Thanks for the video getting the zoom will use these settings . I am taking pictures and videos with the spark. getting good results much with some of the same settings but going to fine tune thanks again for the get videos.
Nice one Billy thanks for the tips on setting for better footage because I just upgraded to the mavic 2 zoom yesterday and I did a bit of a flight and the footage was like a hyperlapes so hopefully this will help me thanks very much and keep safe and fly safe Billy and I hope you have a great weekend my friend take care 😎👍👍
Tips from a "high time" pro Zoom user: 1) To me, 2.7k@60 looks the best overall. It's a teeny bit cropped, but is super sharp. And, 60p allows for a little higher shutter speed....but on bright days you'll be pushing 600-900 without any ND. You MUST BUY an ND 8 and 16. 2) Start with -1 and -1 on sharpness and contrast. Always use your software to push the sharpness, not the drone! 3) I do NOT use CINE (LOG) profile! It raises the effective ISO by hundreds....exactly like the Sony mirrorless cameras do, to flatten the contrast. Use STANDARD or LANDSCAPE profiles (with regular color) and start at -1 on contrast and -1 on color as well- IF you want to de-saturate and do your color correct properly by again using software in post. There is SO much less sensor noise going this way. You can verify this by comparing the max ISO's in AUTO modes using CINE and regular color. Notice the limits? Low light is where the Zoom drone falls on its ass. But, in good light and properly shot the Zoom is EVERY bit as sharp and gorgeous as the optional "Walletbleed" camera on the 2 Pro. 🤣🤣🤣 4) One quirk: the max zoom of 96mm is only available shooting in 1080p@30, 25, and 24 fps modes. In 4k and 2.7k, the zoom is hard limited to 48mm. SO dumb DJI! WHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???? 5) H.265 looks great! 6) DO adjust the EXP gains.....that's why it's there! 7) HAVE FUN
Much needed! Thanks. Re custom settings: is there no longer an issue with the + sharpness as it was for the Mavic 1 and Air to increase the noise in the shadows? In the same set of settings, contrast and saturation also have been suggested to be lowered in the previous models (-3,-2 or similar) Please advise
@Billy Kyle Can you please do a short video about how you edit footage in post? Im having issues with H265 footage in Resolve and Premiere .... It would also be nice to see best practices to import and encode those files as part of an editing \ coloring workflow.
Very informative video!! I have a question though, if i don't have a ND filter can i just increase the shutter speed by keeping the iso as low as possible? And what are the consequeces if i do that? Also there's the exposure value ev what's that? Thank you
I have a question. I have the zoom, but I do not have a Mac or Pc. I do have a ASUS zen pad 10. And if I can find luma Fusion in the play store, will I be able to use it for post. Other wise I wasn’t planning on doing post anyway. Your opinion please, Thank you Kerry
Hi nice explain 👍 still have one question! On your left corner you see the map overview when you click on that. It's yellow/green !! On my screen!! But in your phone it's white 😀 how can I fix this? And can I use Google maps instead? Thanks for answering 👍😎 Mavic 2 Zoom
quik question sorry im new but how do i add that white and black graph on my display and what is that actually for and what does it do? thanks and sorry if that has already been answered elsewhere... thanks in advance god bless
Hi billy! I have a problem with my mavic 2 zoom! And I’ve been trying to fix it for nearly a week now with no results! Tried to contact dji tried all the settings available tried everything with no results! My camera gimbal points to the left as default, no too much but enough to complicate my footage and when I try to fly in straight line it loses my subject! Tried everything and still points to the left! I would be happy if you can provide me with any possible solution or advise. I can center the camera if I want by holding my finger on the screen and slide carefully but when I reset it with the c1 button it goes back to looking left again! Can you please do any research and help me out?
Quick advanced question about the Mavic Pro 1 for anyone: If you’re filming in DLog and go into a quick shot mode, does the drone switch your picture profile out of DLog into something else during the quick shot?
So , If changes are somewhat being made afterwards, through a computer, editing. Color grading. It would not be the best settings for the camera. Straight out of the box settings ? Without changing anything with a computer. What would they be ?
Hello Billy I'm a big fan of your videos . First question I have is why I do not have the critically low battery alarm in my settings it's very strange it is supposed to be located above the low battery alarm on the remote. Second I also do not have the setting that enables you to charge your phone with remote. I have a feeling my remote is charging my phone because the remote doesnt stay charged for very long and would like to have the option to turn it off if it is enabled but I have no way of knowing. Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you !
I noticed yesterday my Mavic 2 Zoom's auto exposure is too bright! I must switch to manual to compensate. Not a problem, but why would the auto exposure not work properly? The color profiles are lame as well!
Billy, Great videos and thanks for all the help. Quick Question. I have a Mavic 2 Zoom and Im getting a lot of False Obstruction Warnings in any conditions flying at around 200feet where the drone comes to a hover after a couple of seconds Its good to go again, found not using full forward joystick helps but have you come across this problem and any suggestions. I know lots of other people are having this issue.
Help me. I recorded video .mp4 4K 30 frs, H265, D-Log mode, can not import 4K video file to Adobe Premier cc 2018, have to convert to 1080p. i want to use original 4K video, can fix this? Thanks
I've tried flying my Zoom in Go4 but the app won't connect to the aircraft. I get the following message: the current device cannot use DJI Go4 please check the relevant manual and download the correct app to use. I normally fly it in DJI Pilot and the settings are VERY limited as to what i can do in both still pics and video. Any advice?
Need HELP! I went into the setting of the Mavic 2 Zoom and clicked on the multi-shot of the camera. It gives you the choice of shooting 3,5, or 7 rapid shots and SUPPOSED to stitch them together. When I go back into the drone to download the pictures into my computer all I see is on the settings of 3 shots, three individual shots, setting of 5 shots, 5 individual shots and the same with seven shots. I do not see anything being stitched together. Any help here?
Have you considered using flight captures for the thumbnails? Lately it looks like these just sit on your desk all day if people just go by the thumbnail photo.
@@billykyle Even though the Histogram shows you more detail about the exposure do you usually set yours as close to 0 as you can or do you, as some have said in reviews, set your EV a little + or -?
hi Billy , is possible portrait mode in this drone ? or is just a feature that mavic pro have ? . also is possible control the zoom smoothness? thank you
Bill, I've been studying with you for a while now. I have a question you may know the answer to. I was tweaking all the settings that you suggested in the above video. Connected to RC here on my desk while I watched the video. That took about half hour as I played with all the settings. I did a couple of 2 minute test flights. 81 degrees here on the east coast. 3rd time it would not allow flights. CRITICAL OVERHEATED CHIP WILL TURN OFF IN 10 SECS. I called and spoke to them. They explained why it overheated with the air intakes not working while not flying. The part that has got me bummed is 2 hours later I'm getting the same warning and it's night time and cool now. I'm grounded. Can you take a moment to comment please.
Wierd, I bought the Mavic 2 pro today. I was all freaked out that the gimbal wouldnt move, then I realized its the cover. It seems to get stuck when it's on. Is that normal?
Hello i from Indonesian, i really like your video about drone. Can you give me old mavic or your DJI drone? If you want to share please, i Will say very thank you 🙏🙏
Sometimes I wonder why the authors of those TH-cam want to talk so much ... Can they just use the picture of what to do rather than explaining everything and make comment beginner don't understand or get the value of ... But Tank you for your time : DJI rather spend money on promo that on educating their clients For DJI goal seems to be making beautiful video to be appealing for the next potential customer and and make a sale ....not educating their customers. So Thank you again
Dude, most people buying the Zoom are new to intermediate users. We arent using editing to color grade video. Can you show the best settings for best video straight out the drone ?
If you don’t want to edit , the normal color grade, with manual settings , 4K 30 or 25fps, with a chosen AWB, Oh and if you have a beefy computer H.265
Billy, wondering if you are going to do an episode about the current bill that’s has been put before Congress and voted on within the next seven days. Critical?!
Gr8 video as always Billy i did enjoy it was really educating i enjoyed every minute of it thanks bro keep up da gr8 work G.👍👏
Always full of great information Billy...thank you!
Good stuff. Very informative. Love seeing how people use the settings

Excellent video and extremely informative. Thank you!
Excellent content! Straight to the point and quick information. Well done.
Great video, very straight to the point and helpful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome video! I love watching and learning from you. Keep it up my man! Oh and BTW I watched the whole thing :)
Excellent explanation. Thanks you!
Finally I got my very own mavic 2 zoom in my hand last week. Will try this settings for my next flight, thanks for the tips.
Thanks for this video. Very helpful indeed
Mate thanks for your videos you explain things very clearly.
Thank you for making sense of all those settings!
Dude....your videos keep getting better and better. Couldn’t be explained any better.
Thank you Steve! I really appreciate it!
Really valuable tutorial. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. This was really helpful.
Excellent video!
I took my Mavic zoom out for the first time today and my setting are almost exactly like yours!
Thanks for the quick tips Billy
Thanks for the video getting the zoom will use these settings . I am taking pictures and videos with the spark. getting good results much with some of the same settings but going to fine tune thanks again for the get videos.

Thanks that was easy to follow and understand
Super helpful !
Thanks for your help 😉👍🥂
Great Video----- Thanks
Thanks for sharing!!
Great vid. Lot of info is a small amount of time! Now it’s play time!
Thanks man, learned a lot, let me try with ND filters and all those tricks you wrote!
Fantastic!
Great video, as always, question: how would you compare landscape photos zoom vs m2p ? As need drone for real estate and still hard to make decision.
Cheers much Billy much appreciated:)
You're welcome!
Thx Billy, good content. Question on the focus. When you have AFC in the “on” position, does this mean you don’t have to tap the screen to focus?
Much needed! Thanks.
Re custom settings: is there no longer an issue with the + sharpness as it was for the Mavic 1 and Air to increase the noise in the shadows? In the same set of settings, contrast and saturation also have been suggested to be lowered in the previous models (-3,-2 or similar)
Please advise
Do you have a video on how to make the yaw movements smooth without having to use tripod mode? Thanks and Happy New Year!!
Thanks. Almost like the same settings on the old Mavic Pro
Great tutorial. My Zoom should be here any day.

Thanks! That was very helpful. What computer did you get? What are the specs? My computer cannot handle h265 so I am looking into upgrading.
thank you.
Hi Billy. Is there a setting to slow down the zoom speed or is there a work-around?
U know ur here early when its only 360p. #notificationsquad
I have a question. I have the zoom, but I do not have a Mac or Pc. I do have a ASUS zen pad 10. And if I can find luma Fusion in the play store, will I be able to use it for post. Other wise I wasn’t planning on doing post anyway. Your opinion please, Thank you

Lot of good info in this video there needs to be more zoom videos too many pro videos out there
Lots of information about the Mavic but what’s happened to the Inspire 2?
What if you don't have ND Filters? Are these settings based on settings with a filter?
So ,
If changes are somewhat being made afterwards, through a computer, editing. Color grading.
It would not be the best settings for the camera. Straight out of the box settings ?
Without changing anything with a computer.
What would they be ?
What program do you use for editing video's
How‘s your Spirit flight，footage?
One issue with the MP2z is while zooming the exposer goes from good to way too dark so you almost need to use auto when doing a lot of zooming.
Hello Billy I'm a big fan of your videos . First question I have is why I do not have the critically low battery alarm in my settings it's very strange it is supposed to be located above the low battery alarm on the remote.

Can I ask about nd filter? Up to how many fstop range is required for the zoom? I only have up to ND16 and not sure If I should buy higher ND stop.
Is there anyway you can take wide angle pictures to get a more wider view on the 2Zoom?
I noticed yesterday my Mavic 2 Zoom's auto exposure is too bright! I must switch to manual to compensate. Not a problem, but why would the auto exposure not work properly? The color profiles are lame as well!
Thanks for the video. Is there anyway to set the camera zoom sensitivity/smoothness on the zoom?
Unfortunately no
Very helpful video. I'm a novice, rookie drone flyer. Translation: I don't have a clue! Thx!

I think it’s something to do with the glare of sunlight in the lens I’ve heard, have you figured out why ?

Hey Billy could you do a video comparison between the Air and Zoom?
Are you kind there's a like a million of them

Good information! I wonder if there is an advantage to using a Histogram over just looking at the EV numerical value at the top of the page?
Histogram gives you more detailed information about your shadow levels, highlight levels, etc.
@@billykyle Even though the Histogram shows you more detail about the exposure do you usually set yours as close to 0 as you can or do you, as some have said in reviews, set your EV a little + or -?
Hei, Billy...I just got the zoom..is there a chance you can adjust the zoom speed ?
Im looking for this setting too
Hey Billy. Can you do a video that covers all of the Intelligent Flight Modes on the Mavic 2 Pro?
Planning on it!
What’s wrong with shooting at a higher shutter speed?
When you edit 4k content do you use a 4k screen connected the laptop or has the laptop 4k screen ?
No, my MacBook “Pro” is vastly behind
Thanks, Billy.
Where's the option that I can turn off that the controller will charge the phone?
only IOS :(
hi Billy , is possible portrait mode in this drone ? or is just a feature that mavic pro have ? . also is possible control the zoom smoothness? thank you
You can take a portrait panorama to get the same effect.
Oi oi mate my zoom menu is diff from what you have on setting mate?
Same, I was hoping to see someone else had the same issue but was hoping for a reply. Guess not since it's been a year since you posted your comment

Your thumbnail makes it look like the robot in the old Lost In Space Series " Danger Danger"
Cloud cover plays a role too bro
Would shooting in D-Cinelike be an advantage for video editing with mobile phone apps also?
I’m not sure there is any mobile app that features extensive color grading tools like Adobe Premier or Final Cut Pro, so I’d say probably not
@@billykyle Luma fusion does allow you to do alot, and also import LUTS (naturally PP can do more)
Wierd, I bought the Mavic 2 pro today. I was all freaked out that the gimbal wouldnt move, then I realized its the cover. It seems to get stuck when it's on. Is that normal?
Great vid Billy! I used your tips to shoot a video in Europe last week using the Zoom. Check it out if you get a chance!
How do you make camera pivot left and right ?
Press the center of the screen on the phone and then drag around anywhere
Thanks for the review-we are using our Mavic Zoom as we journey cross country. Hope to see you on our trip! (See our email)

You should show Settings for beginners. People that know how to edit, know how to work the settings.
Beginners can use auto. 🙄
10:52 You told us to use Follow without explaining what FPV is.
most people film at 24 fps, I really don't know if I should film 4k 24 fps or 4k 30 fps....
Maik Lok depends on what you want. I find 24 fps on 4K is to “blurry” for me. I like 4K 30fps.
Dude, most people buying the Zoom are new to intermediate users. We arent using editing to color grade video. Can you show the best settings for best video straight out the drone ?
As I said in the video, switch to normal instead of Dcinelike
