Always clear and concise and a bit of history thrown in. Always a pleasure to watch your content. Plus also HIGHLY recommend your drone course. Totally changed the way I fly now. 👍👍
Wow, that's amazing to hear! So pleased you found value in the Masterclass!
Always look forward to your Ace content, it is timeless as the stuff you bring out can be reapplied over and over again, cheers for updating it again :)
Great video! I already knew most of that but I just like watching y’alls videos so I had to check it out. Looking forward to the next!
This is the first video I have seen on frame rates that make perfect sense and explain very well so my hat's off to you I now have a good understanding of what frame rates do everybody thinks higher frame rate is better quality that's obviously not the case thank you kindly for this awesome explanation thumbs up
Thank you so much for the tutorials and taking your time to make them. I really look forward to each one you release.
I have a new way to look at flying and filming each time I fly.
Thank you for your continued interest!
Wonderful!!! I’m also just learning and you clarify things so well! Thanks I love your videos
Found this really helpful, great channel!
Not just the answers but the “why behind the decisions “. To me that is the difference between knowing something and owning that knowledge. Thanks again guys!
Appreciate it, thank you!
Most instructive video I have watched since getting in to drones 2 years ago.tnx
Simply explained... very helpful!
Always professional.!!! Thank you very much.
Very well explained Steward thank you so much!
Many thanks mate for sorting opinion from fact clearly and concisely 👍🏻
Thank you for this. There are a ton of TH-cam videos dispelling the incorrect FPS information. Please keep up the great work!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome information & clarification as always. Thanks!!!
You do a fantastic job explaining things! Thank you
You always give great advice! Thank you for such a great explanation of FPS
Great Video. Love learning from you!
Been away a couple of years from filmmaking and drone flying and needed a bit of a reminder on the fps question. Thanks a lot for being so clear and concise on these things. 👍👍
I'm so glad that I found these videos. And I can't say thank you enough for putting them out. I just fly for fun but was getting frustrated that I couldn't make better videos. After a few tweaks I learned from you I've been blown away with what my mavic mini can do!
Good to have you with us!
Great stuff. I actually learned something today.
Brilliant! Just what I needed.
Awesome thanks for this tutorial. Very informative.
Such an excellent and clear description. Superb, thanks!
Great video!! Keep up the excelent work!
Good precise simple explanation for the ordinary person. Well done.
Great video, factual, to the point and no BS. Thank you, keep up the great work
Thank God I found you! Coming from outdoor photography to owning my first DJII mavic air, I needed this clarification after other you-tubers pushed more FPS or added to the confusion. Some of the youtubers are well known but fail miserably on FPS explanation.
I searched to no avail and lucked up to find you! You explained this exactly how I knew it should work!!! Thank you! Follower for life!
Hello and welcome to the channel!
Top vid! Loved the bit of history.
Thank you! Additional minor points are that 60fps is useful for in-close flying with faster pans or with sports action. I find that makes the movement easier to follow with less gaps in the action. Also, when observing the 180 rule, lower frame rates mandate slower shutter speeds, so in the U.S., for instance, 24fps means 1/60 second which also means more light on the sensor with no option to stop down on many fixed aperture small drone lenses Wich are f/2.2~2.8. ... just another consideration when shooting at lower rates...
Thanks for mentioning that! I actually was looking for that exact explanation on Drone videos and answer to this particular question!!Seem like every one missing that POINT HA HA
Absolutely spot-on !!
Best drone tutorials on TH-cam hands down. You guys have helped me so much. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!!
Very informative my man, thank you
This was an excellent explanation. Thank you so much.,
Thanks for such a precise and easy to understand explanation of frame rates and their proper usage. There is so much information out there on TH-cam.
You set the standard of what all TH-cam tutorials/information should be. The depth of information you give is outstanding! As in anything taught, the “why” explanation needs to be fulfilled before someone will accept and retain the knowledge, you do this perfectly. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
An absolute pleasure John! Thank you for such kind words!
Awesome video, thank you!
Awesome..... and beign in the UK, I don't use that word often! I am finding your videos SO useful and informative. You have clearly and logically explained FPS, even back to its roots. Well Done You!
Super information, thank you so much... subbed😉👍🏼
Thanks for all the clarification. Well done.
Good info! Thank you 😊
Very good info 👍 Clearly explained, and easy to understand ... Nice history lesson too 😎
Very informative and interesting, thank you!
Good video thanks!!! Very well explained.
Really enjoying, as well as, learning from your work. You’re my go to source on the straight skinny of cinematographic droning.👍🏻
Fantastic!
Nicely explained, cheers. Made a lot of sense!
Thanks man, this was really helpful!
very helpful thanks!
well said! thanks!
Spot on. Great advice 👍🏻
Love this video! Keep blessing us with these great and massively helpful videos! Massive fan of u guys!
Very well explained. Well done
I checked several sources on "best frame rate" but as usual, yours was explained clearly and logically with a little history thrown in. I should know by now to check with you first. I'm taking the Master Class for sure!
Brilliant as always👍
One thing I’d like to throw in is that the speed of how fast your micro SD card writes is very important. If you shoot in 4K 24fps shutter is set to 1/50 you may experience some jitters especially when panning up. Lexar makes a very fast micro SD that writes up to 222mb per second. It may be overkill but for my mavic 2 pro shooting in h265 and mlog I just wasn’t getting the correct look even with my sandisk extreme plus.
This is great info, I know this comment was months ago but I have some questions. I have a Sandisk Extreme Plus and shooting 4k24fps I get lots of jitters like you mention, what micro SD card do you recommend for the Mavic Air 2?
This has literally nothing to do with 24p judder. The bitrate is the same for 24p and 60p. The card doesn't know what framerate it's writing.
Thank you for the information. I had no idea about this except that there are different frame rates.
Great explanation. Thanks
Thank you for the great explanation dealing with FPS. Cheers from Miami Beach, Florida.
Thanks for this video very helpful
Great explanation, TNX!
This helped. Many thanks.
Thank you. As a Newbie, I changed my Drone settings (from default) based on other videos...but of course, they were Post. this was very clear around quality and frame rate. After my changes from the default, I wondered why the first RAW I had was way better than that of my changes. This clarifies why. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for great info 👍
Great video and advice I am looking forward to more educational content in the future 👍
SO happy I came across your channel! I'm totally a newbie with drone cinematography and just started a TH-cam channel....these suggestions and guidance is so appreciated! Thank you!
Welcome!!
Thanks for the video. I apologize if someone else has already mentioned this, but 60fps or more is often preferred for fast action and/or if the camera is moving fast such as a first person view (FPV) quadcopter. Because of the flight controller tune and/the construction of the quad, there sometimes will be more jello in lower frame rate video. I enjoy slow, cinematic, quad flight sometimes, but often I want to fly fast. The combination of the quad vibration and a slow frame rate can increase the jello and the video will have significantly less jello at a higher frame rate. As you said, it depends on the situation.
You make understanding things very easy ! Even for an Oldman :)
thank you Stewart!
So useful, thank you
Stuart, this is an excellent video with a very useful and practical view of the subject. Adding the history was also a nice touch. One additional thing I would add is that shooting in higher frame rates also wastes storage. This is an additional benefit of shooting 24/15 FPS.
Another great video. Your tips on FPS is very interesting. Thank you, Stewart. Very very cool shot of bridge in fog. Always learn good information from you. Oh yeah...very nice set too. I hope to fly my Mini today.
This is great man
got it, thx a lot
love your statement 'Hollywood is our benchmark'
Thanks for putting this frame rate business in the light this is the first time I 've had it explained that is very understanding Thank You
you've convinced me to try 24, I've used 60 a lot and liked it, but now I want to try 24....thanks, love your channel!
Excellent, thanks 👍🏻
Cool thanks for the info..
Thank you
Very good information Sir! I definitely will be shooting at 24 fps for most of my drone footage from now on!
Thanks that was helpful ,
You present concepts and reasons extremely well. I have much better idea on what FPS to use at a given objective. Good job!
This video is perfect.
Hello Stewart, nice videos on your channel, it's a great source of information, so thank you for that. After watching this one, I have a question. Do you think it's a good idea to always film at 60fps and downgrade it to 24fps in post productiion. The idea is to be able to slow motion any rush on post production if needed (not possible if always filming at 24fps). It is a big difference between a 24fps rush and a 60fps rush turned into 24fps ? Thanks for your reply ;)
I thought he said recording at a higher framerate reduces quality
fair play mate, you know your stuff
Wow, so glad I found you!! Subscribed already! Two questions: I live in Brazil and normally make my Mavic Air videos for TH-cam. I normally shoot 4K - 30 fps. If I want the videos a bit more cinematic, should I shoot in 4K 24 or 25 fps? Does the 24 (USA) vs 25 (EU) apply to TH-cam??
Also, I plan on buying the Osmo Pocket for my 'land' takes. I was considering shooting everything in 4K 30 for the general takes and 60 fps for the slow motion takes. Does it make sense, or should I try to go for the 24/25 fps. And, if so, I would probably need to shoot slower than 1/60, to follow the 180º rule, which I try to follow, using ND filters. So then, I would have to use 1/50 on my cameras?
Thanks a lot, and keep up with the great work!
Great explanation and I am so glad you mentioned the Hobbit. I always wondered why the film seemed odd but I couldn't pin point the reason. Thanks!
Just the great advice I have been looking for to fly my new dji mini 3 pro..... Also, what is the best micro sd card to use in drones as hear sd cards can cause an issue?
Very basic ... but very helpful. Thanks.
Thanks Russell! Great to see you're still with us!
Would love to hear your thoughts on shutter angle/shutter speed, drone speed and movements, and proximity to objects.
Thanks heaps for the videos.
Sub'd and excellent clear information, I did read that at 24fps is better than 30fps for example in terms of quality because more bitrate us available to less frames? Also just a little quick question, I have a DJI Mini 2 and if I was filming at 24fps is leaving the Auto Hz frequency of 50 or 60hz ok or should that be set to 50hz for 24fps?
Great video as always, I am learning so much from you guys. I was hoping though that you'll speak about some of the limitations of 24fps and maybe how to overcome them. I was doing a very slow 360 pan shot at 24fps with my Mavic Air and it looks terrible, very jittery. Then I switched to 30fps and everything looks fine. I followed the 180 rule in both shots, had an appropriate ND filter on (EV ~ 0) but only with 30fps there was no stutter noticable. Is this specific to the Mav Air and do we really lose all that "cinema" effect with just 6 fps more? I don't think it looks videogame like but gives me the option to do a short pan without stutter and without the need to move while paning. Did you never run into stutter troubles @24fps?
Thank you! I was always making vloging with 60 fps, know i understand why not using it and i will use 30 instead. Thanks again
Hi thx for the great tutorials they helped me a lot
I am 15 and getting an inspire pro now
Greetings from luxemburg
You do realise that Luxembourg has a big no-fly zone around the airport? But more important, it has a complete zero tolerance for filming in public places? Even dashcams are not allowed there :-o
Steven Peeters yes I know ,I will fly in croatia most of the time. And in luxemburg only on private places.
Very interesting!
Thanks body i suffer with dyslexia and find your videos really easy to follow you should have been a school teacher
Very nice explanation! I want to ask if i can do slow motion later at the post if i shoot with the drone the rule of 180(for example 25 fps and 50 shuter speed) thanks
Great video thankyou. My number 1 source for info so thanks guys. 1 Question i have the mavic 2 pro (learning to film properly) If i'm making a project in 4k and want to add a slow motion clip .. i would have to record in 2k to get my 50fps (im uk) as 4k only offers 30fps .. that slow motion clip can still be added to a 4k project right? or would the image quality be too poor that i would have to downscale the 4k into a 2k project? thanks
brilliant video, now i understand, have been shooting max frame rate (Mavic Pro) for no reason, thanks DFG
Nice vid again:)
Great video
