It is 2022, been flying for a long time, but I still come back and watch this because I use only one or two techniques every time since when I am on flight, my nerves over runs my mind making me forget the other techniques🤗 Thanks Philip
hahaha, you and me!! I get that all the time, I have to look at my own videos sometimes to remind myself of my own moves 😂
"Do Not Flick Your Stick".... ahhhh, words to live by
haha, damn right they are 🔥
Some drones do not auto center on the sticks, correct? I guess that would help reduce/remove stick flipping.
Only in november my boy....
My body...my choice
Lots of videos on specs, rare to see videos like this on how to tone your maneuver technique...good job 👍
Thank You, I'll be sure to make a few more on this subject!
@@jankocbek85 haha, you guys crack me up! It's true, I do what I love, but sometimes, especially when I'm dropping a video a day, it feels like a job, can't wait to slow down a little after Christmas. Thanks guys!
Well done mate, great to see videos like this! ;-)
Thank You Mark!
@@jankocbek85 1
I like your way of teaching, professor. The simplist the better. best compliments from Clemente.
My years of playing videos game w/controller have paid off!
Exactly my thought every single time I take this puppy up!! 😂😂
That sarcastic intro was amazing I really loved a lot 😂❤️
I think that's the English in me, we're such a sarcastic nation. Thank You 🔥
Just got this sick aircraft, i can’t believe DJI basically squeezed Phantom 4 into this super compact frame, for 600$ fly more combo is the best thing you can possibly get, I love it! We are witnessing Unbelievable technology here, what a great time to be alive!
I agree with you, I'm still amazed every time it's in the air, the quality is incredible!
Mine just arrived yesterday afternoon! I got the fly more package and everything should be charged up so I can try it out later today. I can’t wait to go kayaking with it!
Thanks for this vid. It's great to see someone having fun and being serious at the same time!
Gosh I love this little beast even straight out of the box! I watched all your Mini 2 videos before even buying it. Love filming with it and it surprises me every time I edit my cinematics just how great the footage this thing delivers. Thank you for posting!
Bought myself one of these for Xmas, soooo much to learn, your vids are helping me do that. You've got another subscriber 👍
That's an awesome present to give yourself! I'm glad I could help you out, and it's great having you on board!
wow! I'm impressed with the quality and humor! Rare to see videos targeting your skills training & polishing, not just plug&play. Thanks a lot! greetings from Russia
Thank You! I'm planning more of these! All the best from Poland ☀️
Al fin!!!! Alguien que lo explica y no solo vídeos. Saludos desde Perú!
Finally! Someone who explain it and no just a simple video. Greetings from Perú!
Thank You!! Wow, Peru, I'd love to see that one day. All the best, keep on flying!
(newbie dronie here) About a month & a half with the Mini 2. Still learning the ins'n'outs of the DJI Fly app as well as feeling more and more comfortable with longer, higher & further flights. This video is PERFECT for what i'm searching around for online right now. Basic movements but amazing results. (oh and it was another of your vids that sold me on the 8-pack Freewell filters too). T
hanks for the great vids!
Hi Jonathan! I'm glad you're getting to grips with the Mini 2 and the app, as soon as you're comfortable with it, always remember to set RTH height, you'll be fine. Smooth sailing all the way. Never panic, always delicate movements and these moves will be simple. The Freewell pack is lifesaver for me! I use that every single time I'm out! All the best, be careful out there.
Excellent video! Love the detailed descriptions of the settings and cinematic examples. You’re an ace!
The passion and energy in the video is gold!
Thank You! I love this stuff, so happy to share it with you guys!
We need more of these!!
I'll do my best to keep them coming!
Awesome tutorial, your techniques made me think of focusing on an object feature and keeping the camera pinpointed on that feature to create the desired shots. You coordinate the drone movement and camera with such precision akin to a fighter pilot with a laser guided bomb. I intend to build those hand / eye coordination skills in my next shots - thank you!
"You coordinate the drone movement and camera with such precision akin to a fighter pilot with a laser guided bomb"
haha, oh damn, that's a comment 🔥
Thank You so much! I'm oldschool, I think I overplayed GTA and generally played way too many video games. I'll do my best to get some more content like this for you guys, I'm working on one film right now with the Mini 2 I should be dropping soon.
I just smoothin my thumbs to make my drone move smooth, that's the best practice because there are occasions that you will need those fast pitch and tilt.
I constantly come back to this video when I upgrade. I've started to love and appreciate learning to fly smooth in normal mode.
I’m glad to hear that, that’s what this video was for. Have fun!
Hi Philip , Ty ty ty for the gimbal settings , will try these out , 1st settings I have seen for these and watching the footage is a great place to start
You're welcome! I hope they come in handy 🔥 Keep those sticks smooth and you'll be gold!
Great video, thank you.
Only just got my Mini 2 and every day is a school day, but your videos are really good at explaining.
You're welcome, glad I can help!
My goodness man that last shot was mad!!!
Thank You!
From the comparison with your excellent teaching, I come out as a foot down and away with the drone. I must learn from you. Thats if I ever get up again with my phone problems that is...
Just got a Mavic Pro, (couldn't afford to buy it so built it from new parts in 2020!) Have watched 100's vids on the subject but after 6 days of flying starting to get a feel for the stick & dial sensitivities. Your vid came at just the right time. Awesome content coach, I'm like a sponge here. Subscribed.
No way, that's impressive, building a Mavic Pro! Thank You, I really appreciate that, I do my best. Lots more on its way. Welcome on board.
Built from scratch- Sounds like a task!
Do you have any tips how I can do it ? I also cannot afford the cost 🤣
@@hanoitripper1809 Honestly it wasn't the smartest thing to do. I could have bought a second-hand combo very cheaply but I wouldn't know the crash history therefore the reliability of the unit. Building from new DJI parts did turn out to be quite expensive. There is a point where old, new parts stock starts becoming more expensive because of its rarity. I saw this in the price of the two internal motherboards and the camera. At one point spares were plentiful and cheap but at building in 2020 the model was already 4 years old and prices were starting to creep up. If you can deal with not caring about which parts may be worn out I'd recommend buying a cheap (complete) one off ebay or private sale. If you want to go the build route, AliExpress has all the parts you need with a few odds and ends from ebay. I benefited greatly from the tons of teardown & repair videos on the original from YTube. I don't see so many such videos on the more recent models. Whatever you decide, piloting these things is quite interesting. Good luck. 👍
@@JuicyFruityify thanks for that information. Just wondering, did you ever had issues with Ali-express being fake or scammers when you ordered?
Just got my Mini 2 a few weeks ago. I'm very familiar with drones, but coming from cheaper "toy" ones this is another world entirely! I'm looking forward to getting some great footage and I've been binging your videos a lot to see how I can do it. Keep it up!
You'll love it! It's a fantastic drone, and it really does an excellent job up there! Have fun and be careful Anthony!
Such a great opening scene.....classic!
haha, thank You, just me being silly 😂
Very useful and instructive video and now I totally understand that I have "just" to practice again and again ! Thanks a lot.
You're welcome! Yes, practice makes these moves super smooth!
Great stuff. Especially that final complicated shot! Thank you for pushing us to up our cinematic game!
Thank You!
YOu are the lifesaver!! Ive been searching for these vids but this was one of the best, great straight to the point tips. Thanks a lot man
You're welcome, had a great time filming these!
Brilliant footage!
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome!
Just unpacked my mini 2 yesterday and took it for a flight for the first time. Super glad I found your videos, thanks Phillip!! You’re awesome
Thank You Kristen! The Mini 2 is a fantastic little drone! Awesome is you and your guitar 👌🏻
@@PhillipSkraba awe thank you!!!!! Yes I look forward to playing it and flying - a scary thought but I have to try! Lol
haha, I think flying first will be good, and then playing to the footage you shot. Playing whilst flying would be impressive!
@@PhillipSkraba lol, well.... only possible while hovering or taking quick shots. I can’t flick my fingers, I don’t wanna get in trouble hahahahah!!!! Stay tuned, I will try this week lol
@@KristenMcNamara haha, don't flick your fingers Kristen, or you'll be in deep trouble! Have fun, keep me updated 👌🏻
Great to see the actual control movements :) I have a Mini 2 now after starting with a Mini 1 about 7 months ago, slowly getting better videos and less cutting in the editing room for my own channel.. Liked and subscribed look forward to learning more from your channel :)
Thank You! That was a good move from the Mini 1 to the Mini 2! Yes, the more we fly the better we get, great to have you on board 🔥
"Smooth motion...in your ocean"
🤣
Can't help it! 😂
Great Mini 2 videos! Can't wait to check the rest out.
Thanks!!
Indeed one of the best video about drones and how to fly drones properly.
Thank You! I'm really happy you liked it!
Hi Phillip. I found your channel because I bought a mini 2...and I have watched almost all your mini2 videos and some others of you! I am so happy about because you show so many things for a beginner drone flyer like me in a great way. I like your humor and your teaching style, it's so pleasing listening to you and your tips, your videos are so diverting. And I really like all your cinematic videos shot with the mini2 and hope I can also fly so smooth and cinematic someday in future 😉...I am still learning. How do you plan your flights, so that you find the right place to catch all the stunning footage? Do you plan it before with a map? Thank you for your effort and great work you put into your videos, I subscribed after seeing the first one 😊 I am looking for the next videos and please keep up your good work! Greetings
Hahaha that intro! When are you doing an episode on that big BEAST? xD
That beast wakes me up at night 😂 It's scary AF. It flies just as fast as the Mini 2 but I can put my Sony A7S III on it, or the RED. DJI Matrice 600, what nightmares are made of ☠️
@@PhillipSkraba I would challenge anyone to get a cinematic look from any drone at 12:00 noon. In my opinion the most important thing to get that "cinematic look" is golden hour lighting. I have seen people with cheap drones with GoPros bolted on with no gimbal achieve a beautiful aerial composure when shot during the golden hour. it's interesting I've watched about 10 of these videos on TH-cam in the last couple of weeks talking about this for the mini 2 and no one ever mentions how critically important lighting is to get that look.
@@ke4uyp Actually, sorry to correct you here, every single shot except the 2nd one were shot between 11am and 1pm, but it's winter and the sun is super low here in Poland, so the shadows are quite long. The 2nd shot was done about 20 mins before the sun went down. I've shot a ton of footage at noon, and sure it's a challenge, but it can look fantastic. I do agree however that footage shot when the sun is going down is mind-blowing, but it is possible to get "cinematic" footage at noon, you just have to work it.
@@PhillipSkraba can you name one major movie that has cinematic aerial views done at 12:00 noon. There may be movies with aerial shots done at noon but they don't look cinematic they just serve the purpose for that particular part of the story of the movie.
@@ke4uyp I'm afraid I don't follow what time cinematographers shoot their drone footage at in specific Hollywood movies, but if I can do it with a tiny Mini 2, I'm sure Hollywood can do it with a Matrice 600. I worked as a fashion and portrait photographer for a long time and I met a lot of people who were scared to shoot at noon because of the bad lighting and scary shadows, I embraced those points and used them to my advantage. I think a good cinematographer, no matter what situation, no matter what time of day, can pull through if he knows how to and deliver a bad ass image. Add to that a colourist who knows what he's doing and you're golden.
Definitely appreciate the artistry you bring into it. And yes, that shot was Hollywood worth it!
haha, thank You Oliver! That's definitely my goal, to get the Mini 2 looking as Hollywood as possible!
Your tutorials are AMAZING!!
Thank You!
Cathedral shot is flawless ❤️❤️
Thank You!
PHILLIP, LOVE YOUR STYLE! THANKS FOR AN EXCELLENT VIDEO ON THE MINI2!!
Thank You! I'm glad you liked it, Mini 2 is awesome!
Watching for a second time dialing in my settings. Thank you so much.🎉🎉🎉
Well, I'm glad to hear that Jonny! 74 more to go, I think you'll hit your target!
@@PhillipSkraba yes gunna hit 1000 and heading to the hills Tomarrow to film and camp for a night going to try out the 180 degree rule on the drone using Nd filters for the first time. Wooohoo merry Christmas Phillip!
Great channel and video. That last shot is so tricky but when you get it right ....wow.
Thanks for the help mate!!!!!
Thank You David! Last shot takes some work but can look really Hollywood when you nail it.
Great tutorial, mate!! It was very enjoyable to watch when a guy with UK accent shows that much emotion. :)
haha, thank You! It must be the Polish blood in me mixed with my British upbringing!
Amazing, recently bought mine Mini2, best tutorial I found so far.
Thank You! I'm happy you liked it!
Man, I think I’m in love with your videos content. It’s just exactly what we all need. I bet tons of people will agreed.
Thank You! I really appreciate that, it's great when someone connects with what I do.
Thank you dear friend for the helpful tutorial
You're welcome Tuhin!
Thanks I have just bought the Mini 2 for my videoing my life in Thailand can’t wait. Great vid.
Thank You! It must be amazing out there in Thailand for droning!! Have fun!
Thanks so much for these tips!
You’re welcome!
I liked the tip for coming down and looking up. I've been doing a lot of up and looking down. Definitely a classic a shot that I have been lacking. Thank you sir
Yes, I think that’s a nice one!
I love to watch your videos because you're really providing good information and i can clearly see you're really passionate about this!
Thank You! Yes, I'm very passionate about it, drones, filmmaking, photography, that's basically my life.
Wow , great shots. Thx.
Thank You!
Thank you so much! I have been waiting for many years to get a drone. After watching your video I am convinced I am ready to take the plunge. Your skills convinced me to give it a try. I was truly impressed by your videos.
You're welcome Mike! You'll love it, it's a wonderful hobby to have, and taking some time to polish your skills can really make flying it a huge pleasure. If you need a link for it, you can find one in the description of this video 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Really really loves this video. You did a great job explaining and loved the samples to compare with the movement!
Thank You Alberto, I'm glad you liked it!
sometimes a get nervous, and my dumb start shaking , and I have to stop, and start using both fingers on each stick. But this is when flying my phantom in difficult situations (flying over a city). With the mini2 I will be more relaxed. Thanks for your cool video
I find that using both fingers adds extra strain to my fingers in turn making them shake 😂 I guess we all have our ways of calming ourselves down. You're welcome, be careful out there!
Thanks dude! Appreciate the info. Make it a great day.
You're welcome! Have fun Peter!
You nailed it!
Thank You Dennis!
Awsome video. Love your laid back style!!! Learned a lot. Thank you
Thank You!
Dude you’re amazing
Thank You!
Excellent, thorough descriptions, thanks!
Thanks Ken, glad you liked it!
I got my mini 2 today and I love it so much!
I'm happy you like it!
Tks for the tips Skraba! Cannot wait to get my Mini 2!
You're welcome Leandro, I bet you can't!
The best drone moves video I have seen. Thanks very much.
You're welcome Paul! I love flying drones, and practice till I feel good with my moves, not always easy.
Really enjoyed watching this and the learning it provided is much appreciated, too - thanks!
Thank You Phil, I'm glad it came in handy!
I own a Mini 2. Your videos are extremely helpful in getting the best out of the drone!

I have a lot to learn. And it starts here. Thanks! 🤙🏻
You're welcome! Have fun!
Love this guy. Great video.
haha, thanks Rod!
I bought the DJI Mini 2 about a month ago and have really enjoyed flying it. I started watching your TH-cam videos today about cinematic footage and absolutely enjoyed it! You have motivated me to be a better drone pilot using smooth control movements. The video portion will come with practice as I have adopted your settings. Again thank you for your expertise and your humour! I look forward to many more videos from you Phillip! Cheers...
Thank You Carl, I'm glad you liked it. The most important part is to keep on flying as much as possible. Keep it slow, keep it smooth, no sudden movements and no course correction, count to 15 whilst holding your shot and you have some great footage.
chills bro, chills
Rather so.
Really good tips. Thank you for the time and the examples!
You're welcome, and thank You!

Great Job on this video Philip, this is the single video on TH-cam which explains exactly what you need to do with these sticks... 👍
Some people like GoPro'ing the sticks, I'm not a fan of that, I prefer you hold the pad, watch the screen and I walk you through it. Thank you, glad you liked it!
beautiful!!!
Thank You!
Thanks for the tutorial. Very nice!
