I've watched a lot of videos with tips on getting smooth shots with the Mini 2, but yours is the first to talk about the gimbal settings. Thanks for the insight!
Thank you for the generosity of putting the configurations in the description and comments. Agreed, the Mini 2 is still one of the most amazing drones out there.
Great stuff 👍🏼. Thanks Ian. My biggest problem, two weeks into drone flying as a complete beginner, is the smoothness. Your advice is going to make such a massive difference 👍🏼😊
Your tutorials and drone advice films are the clearest and most helpful I've come across on YT. Thanks. A small addendum though. Maybe the Mini 2 menus have been updated, but mine doesn't have "advanced Gimbal Settings", but the same controls can be found under "Gain & Expo Tuning". And Pitch is now called Gimbal. There's an additional control setting for "Expo" in Normal & Sport modes
Great video for beginners like me...what i loved about the description is that you did not simply tell the suitable values but you also demonstrated how the drone behaves at extreme value settings...grt...i will try these soon and hopefully i will get smoother videos without automated modes...thanks a lot!!
Thanks for a really simple explanation of these settings. I’ve only flown my Mini 2 a couple of times since I got it so I haven’t really had time to think about fine tuning the controls yet. I think I will start with your suggested settings as you’ve done the trial and error already for us!
I've owned a mini 2 for about a year. Your vids are a great reminder, as it's sometimes hard to remember the settings although I've seen many of them before. Thanks.
Single BEST Tip I've seen yet for a new flyer... the "jumpy" Gimbal has been driving me crazy since I bought this thing a month ago, so much so that I've been shooting more "still" photos! Not anymore... I'll be changing some settings tomorrow afternoon, thanks to you, Ian!!!
@@IaninLondon Thanks Ian, that did the trick! Can't wait to get out and try it now, if only this incessant freezing rain and drizzle would stop for a day or so! 🥶
Thanks Ian I enjoy watching your channel and great to have the tips that you’ve offered in the past go back in time to watch things to refresh my memory I’m getting old and don’t see so good I love your channel⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Exactly what I was looking for--getting my first drone tomorrow and can't wait to get started. Thank you for the thorough explanation and demonstration!
Great video, Ian. Very helpful. I just bought the Air 2s and although I have played with these settings, it's nice to see a well composed video on recommended settings. I especially appreciate you printing the settings for Normal Mode in the description below. And since I use an iPhone, posting the IOS settings is gold. Thank you!
Many thanks, Ian. For my rural purposes, the Mini 2 is the best drone I've ever purchased. It is very powerful and effective for such a small drone, completely meeting my needs in an agricultural setting. Thank you for the analysis of those settings.
I've yet to purchase a drone (likely the Mini 2), but have started saving certain 'training' videos. This one, amongst a number of yours, goes straight into the 'saved' file. Thanks for providing this content....much appreciated.
hi Ian I've just adjusted my mini 2 gimbal settings .ive gone from my mavic air so getting used to mini 2 .didnt have on cine speed seemed bit jerky video compared to the air which I've still got .thanks.great vids .the wind speed test was good.ive found the mini 2 still quite fast compared to my air
Hi Ian can I ask a question ..I have a DJI mini 2 just registered and taken the the theory test not yet flown when you change any of the settings are they saved for future flights or do you need to set all the different settings each time you fly ..by the way love you channel and videos
thanks! That will come handy for my car video im planing to shoot! Do you think that this values you set-20-25 will work in cinema mod too? Or will the movement to slow then?
Thanks for this info. As I'm just getting into flying a drone (after having my FAA Part 107 for 3 years), I expect this info will help me eliminate my herky jerkey movements. Thanks, again.
Started playing around with these settings after my second flight. Thanks for explaining what each slider does in depth. I do tend to leave sport mode on stock settings as the only purpose I find for it is getting from a to b.
Thank you so much for this video. You saved me. All videos I've been watched so far had nothing to do with digrees (15°/s), so I thought something was going wrong with the version of dji app I downloaded. I guess these are the suggested settings for normal mode? Thanks again for this gimbal settings tutorial.!!!! Greetings from Athens Greece👌😊
Truly helpful info! Stabilization can be really tricky. Mini 2 is a great drone and it sure is great to know how to get the best stabilization out of it.
Excellent video, I film in cine and have tweeked them to be smoother like yourself, I then fly to my location in sport and switch modes to film my shots.. thanks for the video 👍
Another top video Ian ,you explain it all so well,more mini 2 videos please. Thanks for helping me fine tune things ,all makes for great smooth video.👍
There are only 3 modes to set: Normal, Sports & Cine. I just meant some basic settings to make thinsg smoother, but you set the settings for each of the modes...

Rotational Yaw Speed: Low: 20 - 50
Yaw Smoothness: High: Android 20 - 25 iOS: 70 - 90
Adjust accordingly for Sports Mode or Cine Mode!
Cheers, Ian
Nice video. Do you have a video for the Mavic 2 Pro's gimbal? Cheers.
@@anhonestreviewer7015 Yes! Here you go: th-cam.com/video/fRS0nXMaW9o/w-d-xo.html
So Ian, why are the settings different for Android vs iOS?
@@KenPoisson_world_traveler they're different builds, but it's annoying and pointless...
Just what I needed, thanks!
Nice video, going to adjust my Air 2s next flight.
I've watched a lot of videos with tips on getting smooth shots with the Mini 2, but yours is the first to talk about the gimbal settings. Thanks for the insight!
This is the best advice on drone handling I ever seen on TH-cam. This channel is many steps ahead of the others in this category. 👍
Thank you squire! :)
Totally agree. Many tutorials show cinematic videos but they didn't open their gimbal settings. But Ian teach us the most important thing of drone.
Totally Agree
Oh so that's simply how it's done! Awesome to know how the right settings make a lot of difference!
Thank you for the generosity of putting the configurations in the description and comments. Agreed, the Mini 2 is still one of the most amazing drones out there.
At Last, Ian revealed the secret of proper and smooth video recording. Thank you.

FINALLY!!!! Someone who knows what they are talking about! Thank you sooo much Ian. You have a new subscriber.
I've owned a mini 2 for about a year. Your vids are a great reminder, as it's sometimes hard to remember the settings although I've seen many of them before. Thanks.
Thanks Ken. Even I skip back to my own videos sometimes to check settings 🤠
Can't watch this video without giving it a LIKE....you got a lot of good instruction ....into a comparatively short video...very well done...thank you

Crap, so I go to , scroll down to and the next line is ! There is no on my NEW 2022 (1 month old) Mini 2???

Thank you Ian! So many advise out there. You made is to the point. Brilliant.

Thank you so much, this was by far the most helpful video I've seen on the DJI Mini 2. You're the best!
Great stuff! Cheers!
Thank you. I shall change my settings as soon as I’m next on my drone.

Thank you buddy from Yuma Arizona. I watch a lot of your videos, all of them have helped me a lot with my mini 2.
Great stuff. Loved AZ when we've had road trips thru there 🤠😎
Cheers for another handy video, Ian, I really must get out and fly mine more now the better weather is coming
Air 2S arrived today and great gimbal settings. Much appreciated. Will enhance my channel no end. ATB
Thanks Ian - had remembered to adjust my Pitch settings but forgot about the Yaw - explains why my shots were spinning around :)
Top notch video as always, Easy to follow and understand. Thanks Ian.
At last, a good video with the settings needed and explained very well. Still envious of that big garden you have

Thanks. I think those values work well in all modes. Ultimately, have a play and see what works best for you 👍🏻

Been using these since watching your first video on the subject. Fantastic, people love how professional and smooth my footage now looks.
Nicely explained!
Great video and information. Thank you for taking the time to talk through these settings. Huge help!
Great video Ian, just need some warmer weather and I’ll be up and away!👍

Good info. I wish DJI broke this down more in the manual.
Brilliant advice, definitely will use those settings. Thanks
Great hint's and tips as usual, thanks Ian. Great to have these explained to me, I've seen them but wasn't really sure what each did.
Brilliant tutorial....I was really struggling on smoothness, this has sorted me! Thank you!!

Thank you for the well explained detail, we surely needed it
Was out the other day playing with these settings.
Nicely explained Ian. Stunning Stunning shots in Scotland. Wow.
Thanks! We had a great time! :)
Awesome info my friend! Thank you much, keep up the great work!
Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for. You just got another subscriber.
Greetings from Brazil!
Cheers and thanks! :)
Been waiting for this one, Ian. Thank you for another great tutorial. - Bill from the States.
Cheers Bill 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Brilliantly explained and really useful. Thanks
THANKS SO MUCH IAN for the VERY useful tips. I'm always having to fix this post production. You saved me a ton of time! Great content!
Thank you very much, man. This video make settings adjustement crystal clear!
Actually I discovered these setting by trial and error. But nice to get confirmation I was adjusting the right things.
Thanks for another great video
Hi Ian, like the video, very informative. I have a question if you don't mind. Is the mini 2 capable of using all the options in DJI fly?Thanks
The Fly App adjusts and hides options not available. But it can do most things. 👍🏻
Perfect! Thanks so much for this video!
Another top video Ian ,you explain it all so well,more mini 2 videos please.
Thanks for helping me fine tune things ,all makes for great smooth video.👍
Dank je wel Ian voor de instellingen 😄Gr.Peter from the netherlands
Thanks - great information. I have a new Air 2 and didn't realize that was there - appreciate the great videos and I am now a subscriber.
Superb explanation. Thanks Ian!
Great tips man! Really good information to me.
Congratulations from Brasil 🇧🇷
Thanks Ian, I assume these settings will work for all drones?
Petty much!
Thanks for the video. I can't find the first "generic" setting though. Only the 4 setting per mode (3)
There are only 3 modes to set: Normal, Sports & Cine. I just meant some basic settings to make thinsg smoother, but you set the settings for each of the modes...
Thanks for those settings Ian, much appreciated. Now to try them out.
tq info and tips about gimbal setting,from Malaysia
Any advise or videos on focus issues with the mini 3?
Awesome video! Found this super useful
awesome video, thank you so much for explaining this. I sooo needed this!
Hi ya mate, very new to drone-ing, 3days to be exact, i have a dji mini 2 , my question is how do i take a photo when up in the air videoing. Tia Gary
You have to stop video, swap to photo, then take it. You can't take a still whilst videoing...😕
Excellent and informative video Ian. Cheers.
Thanks for this really useful information. Just out of curiosity, what are your settings for Sports mode?
