- The orbit shot is one of my favorite ways to show off a subject, but they're not always the easiest to capture. Especially if you're trying to add some additional movement to your orbit. But with some experimenting I have found a way to create epic orbits using only simple inputs combine with a few features available on the Mini 4 Pro and other DJI drones. If this is something that interests you, then I highly recommend you check out this video!
Nice combination of features and movements. I like how you identify the problem and work through a solution.
Thank you very much! What you said is right on, I'm just trying different things and explaining what I learn along the way.
Thanks Mark for all the work going into this! Sometimes subtle adjustments make all the difference in the outcome of the shot. Excellent explanation of your process as well. It will save us a lot of time over trial and error.
I'm glad you found it helpful, thanks for the comment👍
some really nice shots, and moves there buddy, great stuff.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it👍
Excellent tips with great explanations. Looking forward for more like this. 🙌
Great to hear! Thanks for the comment👍
Dang man, yet again you blew my mind here. There’s something about the way you explain things that make it simple for us simple folk. Lol. Very cool shots here. You got something special here with your channel. Keep it up, brother!
Thanks buddy! Part of it might be that fact that I'm just figuring this stuff out while making the videos, so I'm just explaining what I learnt along the way. Anyway thanks again for the comment I really appreciate it!
Nice tips, I'll give them a go! Thanks 🙂
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it👍
Awesome vids these mate. Keep em coming please
Thanks so much, that's great to hear!
Thanks Mark for this newest video that helps us all !
My pleasure! thanks for your comments👍
Hi Mark, just a note you would add in one of your next course. If we try to create a Vertigo effect with 2 or more waypoints (zoom in, zoom out or vice-versa.) With 4K 60FPS : impossible to be done. Even if your waypoints settings clearly shows a zoom in of 2 or 3 in the last waypoints. When you switch to 48 FPS, you’ll have zoom 2X, and with 30 FPS you’ll be able to get 3X
That's interesting, I didn't realize the FPS affected the max zoom. I know the resolution did, but I'll have to check that out, thanks!
As long as you were shooting at 30FPS, all features are there. I have other limititationn found lately@@CreateandKaptivate
@@CreateandKaptivate Correction, after extra test. at 30, 48, 50 FPS you can use the zoom, 2X, 3X when recording waypoints. At 60 FPS, it's a no go. Although what I find an intrigue is, when you fly-by at 60 FPS, you can zoom-in up to 3X. Now the other issue is at 50 FPS, you can go down to 1/50th a sec in recording mode, at 60 FPS, no less than 1/60 sec. I believe these limitation are done in the programming by DJI
I too am just learning the mini 4 pro. I got it about a month or so ago so I have a lot to learn about the wee drone. I must say every time I fly it I get more confident in it's ability to do it's thing. Every time I fly out to the beach and fly up and down the beach a bit then fly home it's just incredible technology and should only get better 🏴☠️🚁
I'm often amazed myself, how capable the mini 4 pro is. There's a lot of technology packed into such a small drone.
This is another excellent video for achieving professional orbit shots which would be impossible manually. Really I like your attention to detail (eg settings etc…). Would you consider producing a similar video using Spotlight orbits on a moving subject? Many thanks Mark 🙏
Thanks for your comment! And yes I'm planning to do more videos like what you mentioned.
Hello from Norway, nice shots. I learned a lot.👍
Great to hear that👍cheers from Canada🍁
Hi Mark, great video. Thanks for all the hard work behind the scenes.
Regards,
Jerry
My pleasure Jerry, Thanks for the comment!
This is a really cool tutorial. Thank you so much for this. I’m headed to Ecuador in two weeks and I have a couple places in mind where I’m going to try these shots out.
You're welcome! Thanks for the comment, and hopefully you can capture some great shots in Ecuador!
Wow Nice work!
Thanks :D
You're Welcome! Glad you like it👍
such a usefull video!)
Glad you think so! Thanks for the comment👍
Excellent video, the subtleties of the control and gain adjustment settings are not something I'd figure out on my own. Flying home out of YYC in the morning as luck would have it 🤙
Oh no way, I just flew in from Mexico. And now there's a ton of snow here. I'm glad you found the video helpful🤙
👌👌👌
Thanks👍
Brutal information my friend!! thank your very much i will use it for my next recordings.... also i want to know where this place is and how its called, it looks insane! right in the sunset 10:53 . Thanks again!
Glad you found this helpful! The building is the Christian Church, Calgary Alberta Temple.
did you use spotlight for the elliptical orbit buddy? i always try do spotlight to keep the camera locked on unless it's a reveling shot like you say, but i find it can cause issues in full orbits if you select an area and it ends up behind the building and then the camera goes way off center trying to stay perfect to the original area at the front you selected. i did find if i selected a much bigger area to track it doesnt do it as bad.
Yes, I was using spotlight for all of the examples except the first one. I was having trouble getting a nice orbit at first, but once I was able to get the location marker near the center, it would stay locked on that orbit.
another thing you could try are waypoints.
Yeah that certainly would work, I actually did something similar in my waypoints video.
