I've watched dozens and dozens of Mavic videos. Each one, including this one, I'm able to pull at least something from. Your simple explanation on shutter speed and ISO was helpful.
ND filter is nice BUT not necessary even in your example. Why did you not just turn down the "EV" setting? Hmmmmm you aren't perhaps marketing those filters are you?
@@jamienorton9172 No, he is not marketing the ND Filters. As he mentioned, the shutter speed NEEDS to be double that of the Frame Rate. So selecting a shutter speed double the frame rate will automatically overexpose the footage in bright conditions unless a ND filter is used.
I was looking for an end with a perfect image. Instead you left me with an unuseable washed out image telling us to fix it with a filter. So finish this showing how to use the filters on a Mavic to get that perfect video.
I am from Germany and normally my English isn't that good but u did a great job my friend... I could understand 80%. Thanks for fast and good information. U got a new fan now .
Hey, I Recently learned that the mavic will add its own denoising if you set the sharpness to 0 or below. this causes a loss of detail, and blurry images. Its better to set the sharpness to +1 and remove some of the sharpness later with proper noise reduction in post.
You could also multiply the frame rate value by 2x or 3x or 4x and so forth and still eliminate shutter speed issues while darkening the shot. Then adjusting your EV value to 0 or -1 or -2 etc to darken without an ND filter. Good video, fast and informative, well done. Peace out.
Hello. I Liked and subscribed. So far, you are the only TH-cam channel making a video that explains with good articulation, how to set the camera. DJI drones, I have experience with. The camera and photography, I'm a newbie but, I do have some good instincts.
Great description of all the camera functions, this simplified them all. New drone owner here and quite overwhelmed of all the settings. This helped out a boatload thanks!!!!
Great vid. Awaiting FedEx delivery for my Mavic slated tomorrow - wooohooo. Will be using your vids as guides for initial set up and precautions. Keep 'em coming.
Billy Kyle Maiden flight was a success despite 5-10 mph winds with gusts up to 15 - she performed like a champ. Wife made a few snarky comments as I took her out to about 3/4 of a mile but were well founded. Will tinker with your recommendations in this video tonight/tomorrow.
Thanks... I'm a new user and may not experiment with the camera until I familiarize myself a little more with the piloting and navigation aspects... Do you cover those topics as well?
Great Video. I can't find any suggestions on the best color profile and style settings for RAW still shots? Everything out there is relating to video. Any suggestions would be great.
For my opinion, +1/0/0 - is the best settings, because of -1/x/x result as soft leaves for example and it could not be restored in post. Also, D-Log - is the best settings for post, such as grading etc.
For sure with a camera that has a fixed aperture, a ND filter is a must! Heck even on the P4P its a must on sunny days and that has an adjustable aperture.
Hi Billy I really appreciated the tutorial on camera settings. I just got my Mavic and didn't know where anything was or how to get to it. this step by step walk thru all the setting and what they do was just what I needed. thanks and really enjoyed it. Would love to see a walk through on all the flight modes and how to access them also.
just started using manual setting on my Phantom 3 and done my first test with it. Came out really well and looking forward to filming all my vids with the drone in M :)
It may be easier if I just respond in this comment. Basically ND filters have different values (4, 8, 16, 32) and the higher the number, the darker the shade. The ND8 lens is my lens of choice as this will work in all sunny conditions. If it gets cloudy (overcast conditions) use the ND4 lens as that will provide good exposure values. When flying directly into the sun I would suggest an ND16 or ND32 lens, this can be good for sunsets. I hope that helps!
What a relevant and well performed introduktion. Im very pleased with the information level in this video. I cant wait to get my Mavic in the air, and try out your tips.
Thanks Billy...got confirmation that my Mavic is on the way. Don't you have one of these exact vids on the camera settings for the P4P or do you use the same settings for the P4P....I know the sensors are quite different, so I was curious. Thanks again man
Hi, very good video!! I have Mavic for two weeks and my videos are very bad....no focus!! One question, are there settings for camera and others settings for video? or are the same? Thanks in advance Daniel
Hey, Nice vid, thanks. I have a question, though. Why can't you just increase shutter speed and get away without ND filter? What are the cons of that? Thanks.
+Психолог Никита Григорьев The reason to set the shutter speed double the frame rate is because it helps us record video that contains natural movement. If the shutter speed is too slow, you’ll get blurred movement, if you shoot at a shutter speed that’s too high, everyone in your scene will look as if they were recorded in stop motion. Does that help?
Thanks for reply. Hmm.. I get motion blur, but I never had problem with fast shutter speed. Never saw footage, where everything looks like stop motion.. Is there any vid on youtube about it? Or at least an example? Would really appreciate the link
If you are shooting still objects you won't see many problems. I shoot Real Estate with a Ronin M and a gh4 and most of the time I set it to aperture control to get even exposure when going from room to room letting the camera adjust the shutter speed as needed. Good video Billy posted on shutter effects!
Hey man, could you tell me the best video setting for mavic using Litchi app? I use the DJI GO Pro mostly on my flights, but I started to like the Litchi app more and more, but there's not many video setting guide for Litchi as there are for the DJI Go Pro app. Or can I just apply the DJI Go Pro video value settings on Litchi and it'll produce the same video quality result? Appreciate your guide on this. Thanks.
My opinion but, I would NOT use the Litchi since it interferes with the DJI Go 4 APP. The Litchi is a Way Point application which the GO 4 APP does very well. You don't need it so, save your money for the Mavic.
You might want to explain that not all filters are created equal, polar pro you have to remove the filter every time you change a battery, with Taco and freewell you leave them on. Makes a huge difference I have found in flying.
I meant just on this, since ya sayin the filters are great, or mention in the description the other vid that explains, as you know many people arrive at this vid, not seen the others. The freewells have been great a bud is using the taco's and great, so will see what dji comes up with, but they aren't making them, it's oem. Keep up the nice work!
Watched and set my camera settings as you went through each step then was disappointed at the end of the video to see that your settings required a filter, wish you had mentioned that at the beginning of the video. Since I don't have filters yet I now have to go back are reset the camera settings.
I had the same problem. I was able to get it to 60hz this way. Reset camera settings> change it to 60hz first> proceed with other settings> mine stayed on 60 doing it that way. Hope this helped!
Great video... couple of observations: It would be great to see the sliders move or mouse pointer indicate what features you are talking about. Fortunately I know them but not everyone does. Another one is I find it l=misleading to end such a good video with the overexposed image and the necessity to purchase ND filters. Not necessary, the shutter speed value should be "at least twice" of the frame rate but it could be much more... that's why you can go much higher ;-) Thank you, keep'em coming!
when i press icon above record button (with the 2 arrows) nothing happens - does controller and drone have to be on for this to work? I though I could go ahead and do all settings on the app directly...
Depending on what you're filming I don't really agree with the filter for your camera to make the image darker. If you're filming sports in day light that's shown in this video, up the shutter 1000ish and iso to 100, this way you'll get a good image and with the high shutter you won't get any motion blur.
Just subd. I fly the phantom 3 advanced my second one lol. I checked out your video for a few friends who have the mavic pro. Nice tutorial i will pass it on to my friends. thanks for sharing.
Im new to this drone thing but have some experience with dslr photography... This may be a dumb question but what does fps have to do with the shutter speed in manuel photography? I thought fps was for video?
+Salvatore Angarone Shutter speed is still used during video. It should be set to twice the FPS (i.e. 30fps yields a shutter speed of 60) to achieve the best results.
Hello Billy, I would like to ask you a question regarding my Mavic Pro camera settings. Whenever I video record in 4K @ 30 fps the drone is creating split files and audio is not being recorded and being cached over into the split files. I am using a 256G Ultra Hi-speed (3) SD card and I have even used a 512G Ultra Hi-speed (3) SD card but still it is producing a single video session over multiple split files. One of the split files out of the group of split files does contain audio but the length of the files is only 19 seconds long. I have enabled the record video with audio option in the camera setting and defined the cached size to auto and also have tried 16G and have also formatted the SD card but I still am getting the same split file results. I have also tried resetting my camera settings but am getting the same split file results. What do you suggest?
This is the most confusing setting in the DJI 4 app. As far as I know the MP does not have a microphone so no audio is being recorded to be cached over. Maybe someone will come along and shed some light on this feature.

Would have been helpful to see you pop a filter on at the end to correct the overexposure.
agreed
Yeah this way you still have no idea what it is like, the sample clip does not specify a filter.

Great job, thanks. I wish you woulda thrown an ND filter in on the end there to show us what it woulda looked like.
That's 9 minutes I'll never get back. It was going great until the part where you need filters to make these settings work.
Just to bring the shutter speed down, otherwise everything else works fine

After setting your ISO and Shutter Speed manually, how do you determine which ND filter to use?
There is a nice polar pro app in the Google app store that will help you decide (10 months later, I'm sure you've found something by now).
For my opinion, +1/0/0 - is the best settings, because of -1/x/x result as soft leaves for example and it could not be restored in post. Also, D-Log - is the best settings for post, such as grading etc.

When you turn the drone on, hit auto take off, then on the screen touch the screen at a far off point, it will focus on it...
Awesome video Billy, Man you just made things so much easier for me. Kudos. Thumbs up and a subscriber now.
Oh yea I do have a nice set of filters too, :}

thanks for this 😊 what is video caption? why should we turn it off or on?
+Mattia Antonelli It's just a description for the video. I find no use for it
Billy Kyle thanks! I don't know after today's update if is better to film in D-Log as i do until today or switch to normal.
Which update are you referring to?
Billy Kyle today i've received a new update for d log feature and something more. Don't you have received it?
Just saw this video... Thanks for the tips. I'll have to try them out.
if you are in a darker environment should you use a lower resolution?
Super Helpful!!! Thank you!!
New to the whole photography game. This helps a lot thank you! The mavic pro is way too advanced lol
Great info, thanks for sharing! Can you tell me where my settings should be if I don't do any post? Can I do post through Imovie?
