I learned more in this video than in 20 videos together from other channels with millions of subscribers to the point that I had to write everything down in a notebook. Thanks for the tutorial QuickAssTutorials !!! One more thing, what filter do you recommend for sunset?
Sunset : Depends !! Which ever allows you to respect the double the "ratio" of FPS (24 / 30 / 60) vs Shutter speed (1/50th - 1/60th - 1/120th) .... if the 16 ND is too dark and you don't want to raise the ISO (more grain) put on an 8 ND filter .... or no filter at all. You have to be the judge of the situation ! do some tests
The perspective from this was invaluable. When you said "the defaults are too contrasty, too dark, kinda zombie looking, and it's a little blue" It put to words all the reasons why the default footage just felt... off. Thanks for blessing us with this video, helped me a lot.
I appreciate that you have a real mechanical keyboard on your desk. Idk if you've looked at or gone down the custom mechanical keyboard rabbit hole- as seen on Taeha Types channel- but you totally should. I'd 100% build you one if you wanted, I've made tons and been building for almost 5 years now. It's a game changer and you'll never go back, the buttery smooth feeling and satisfying thocks/clacks depending on the sound signature you want... unreal dude.
Love the directness of your videos, got what I came here for, learned a technique I had never seen before (vibrancy and saturation) and was out in under 10 minutes! Great tutorial.
Recently picked up the Mini 2 after watching this video. Having said that - Resolve is by far superior to FCPX and even Premiere IMO (I used Pro from 1.5 through 6 before they went to ransomware model). Needless to say - You gained a new subscriber for your no BS information - same way I operate in my work as a photographer with my clients and now as I begin a new chapter in my content creation work as a Part 107 Drone Operator. Every piece of advice you gave in this video I spent $$$ to use on my Mini 2👍👍👍
You’re very aggressive with comments like “shut up you need one” and “dad with a handycam at a soccer game” and I absolutely love it and here for it. Keep up the blunt great content
OMG ! Finally someone who understands that control mode 3 is more natural ! Everybody uses mode 2 (I think, maybe it's 1, the default one) and I just can't understand why !
Excellent tutorial… no wonder u r my number one spot for anything drone related. Plz I need one on mavic air2 seems it’s been left out since the evolution of the air 2s. Thank u 🙏🏼
Great tips. I found a while back on a $40 toy drone, sticks were impossible. Since it was 100% user input with no stabilizing, I ditched the sticks a poof...I could fly it in the house with out crashing 1 second after take off. Some people talk about pinching the sticks, and I am thinking thumbs all the way. This is tip video #2 and it is straight to the point and you gained another Sub. - Cheers
Thanks for suggesting using stick mode 3, the right stick function more like a stirring wheel, gas paddle and reverse gear all in one place, I find it easier for my brain to grasp it. I find it easier to keep a steady super slow forward movement while adjusting the position of the drone super slow to the side left or right while taking a Hyperlapse.
I've started using filters to achieve filming at the 180° rule, however, I'm sometimes struggling with my images being too dark early in the morning or late in the evening. I tend to underexpose my footage to between -0.3/-0.7 for range but I was just wondering if it's essential to film everything at 24fps and 1/50 to achieve motion blur. Is it best to adjust the shutter and forget about the motion blur? Many thanks in advance. Keep up the amazing content.
If you use a neck strap you can brace the controller which makes using a pinch grip on the thumb sticks easier. Whether that's better than just taking them off or not is up to you.
Not many fly with no sticks. I happen to fly that way myself. I find it easier to control with my thumbs on the ball. I wish they would make a smaller stick basically a small nipple to insert in the threaded ball controls. Great information, subscribed.
Yeah like how the gamecube had that little yellow stick that was never used. I would rather deal with that then the awkward long sticks. Just augments any shakiness
Hey, how are you.. I rally need your advice..!!! Just quick fast .. what brand of ndpl filters works best for mini 2.. (lightest as to avoid gimbal overload, and best glass or results).. please I know your busy but id really appreciate your advice on this.. you seem to be the most knowledgeable outta the 100s of film makers on TH-cam.. thx in advance...
Thanks for the tips, I'm going to make some of these adjustments to my mini2. Will you make a video about how you go about getting permission to fly places? Some of your videos look like castles/mountains in Europe and such. How did you go about flying there? Thanks!
You said in the vid comments just ND filters and not the CPL ND. Why not the polarized filters? Waste of money? Subtracts from the vid quality? One more fiddly-bit to mess with which isn't necessary? (I'm asking because I bought a set of CPL NDs, not knowing your recommendation.)
polarization is different depending on how much you turn the wheel, so its inconsistent. You also get a weird video game looking sky, trees and leaves lose gloss which makes them also look too flat. Half the time it shift white balance a bit and mine looks oddly green that way. Just isn't worth the stress for the 1% of the time you need to film a lake with glare on the water at exactly the right angle from the sun.
I wanted to thank you for often times doing 50% off on your online course. Previous times I simply couldn't afford it but this time around I finally could. Wish me luck!(I got this!)
If you buy a MicroSD card you should check that the writing speed is enough for the resolution/fps you're going to shoot... (it happened to me, and it isn't funny: you start recording but it stops after like 15 seconds)
Do you have another one of these for the maverick air 2? Or is it the same? I absolutely love this videos and im interested in possibly watching ur classes
Also you say the drone saves the footage in a weird way. I’m new to those but I heard about “luts”. Do you have these presets where you can just apply a preset to lost footage or so you really need to manually adjust each code in post production?
Great tutorial! I would also love one for the Mavic Air 2. I tried to download your excel sheet in a previous video but it didnt seem to work. Also thought I got from another of your videos that you said I could pretty much shoot in the normal (auto?) instead of Decinilike with the Mavic Air 2 because the results was almost the same (im a bit bad at color correcting). I have the fly more combo with the 3 ND filters pack but not really sure when I should use the 16 ND and what other settings to change when I use it. I would also LOVE to see a tutorial of when you edited that famous KPMG skyscraper picture you have in your videos in Lightroom, because that picture is amazing!
oh the night time shot quite yes yes quite Yeah, not auto but with the default color. I shoot in normal and adjust it lightly because nowadays it’s closer to usable in normal than it is in dlog where you have to adjust farther to get it to look nice. It also helps you with some guidance incase you haven’t grasped color grading yet
Great video, can the cine settings be applied to the mavic air 1 as well? Both air 1 and mini 2 use the same sensor so I think they should get the same picture and video quality. What's your experience with the mavic air 1?
DJI was not as old or experienced and even though the sensor and codec is the same, it just doesn't translate together as well. There is more data in the Mini 2 footage as well I think. Same way the mavic pro 1 doesn't compare to the mini 2, software was just older and firmware had kinks to workout. Air 1 is still a good drone but won't translate identically because of that. I'd have to toy with it to find its weird spots
Hi Alex, I see skyreat now has normal ND (Natural Density) and NDPL (ND POLARIZED) filters for sale, is the polarization a necessity or does it not really matter? On amazon they have 2 sets for the mini2 - one with PL and then the old/normal just nd. I also noticed that the 'new' PL filters have little 'wheels' on the filter. I presume these are to set the PL level? Again is it worth even getting the 'new" with PL or just the original?
Thank you for the professional advice, I now understand why my video quality was not all that good despite filming in 4K (heh, you can check it out on my channel), I'm still learning but thanks to info like this I'll be able to improve by leaps and bounds in short time. Just placed an order for a small set of ND filters once I figured out WHY I need them and I do agree I need them. My goal is to achieve some extra income beyond just the entertainment value of flying the drone and advice like your's will be invaluable.

Hi devon! Dig u.
Finally, a Tuber without an intro and straight to the point. Also for that fact: "shut up, you need one" :D Update: I just bought one!
Love the directness of your videos, got what I came here for, learned a technique I had never seen before (vibrancy and saturation) and was out in under 10 minutes! Great tutorial.
This is great! I actually enjoy post-editing so Im very satisfied with how Mini 2 footages can match up with high-end drones.

Wonderful ratio of footage to very intelligent content!
I just binged on 4 videos and I'm pretty much at that, "take all my money," stage. This is so helpful. Definitely signing up for the courses.
and you did too, thanks Paul talk soon

Awsome tip with the ND filter, just ordered one!

You are a god. Keep this series up! Fine, I'll get an ND filter sheesh.
If you use a neck strap you can brace the controller which makes using a pinch grip on the thumb sticks easier.
Whether that's better than just taking them off or not is up to you.
I'm using 2 DJI drones to record 3D printed rocket launches. It's a dumb idea, but someone's got to do it.
"An ND fliter, shut up, you need one..." I cackled but I agree. It was one of my first add ons for my mini 3 pro.
Not many fly with no sticks. I happen to fly that way myself. I find it easier to control with my thumbs on the ball. I wish they would make a smaller stick basically a small nipple to insert in the threaded ball controls. Great information, subscribed.

I made some custom sticks with a video game controller attachment called Kontrol Freeks. It's a domed rubber pad. Works amazingly well.
Your video convinced me to get the mini 2 thanks a lot
Modes are completely subjective. Don't switch just because QuickAssTutorials uses that mode.
This is great! Really enjoyed the "strait to the point" video. 👍
in the rainy UK the ND filter is a killer :))
Dude, you’re my new hero.
Please make more mini 2/drone videos, I love the insight you have!
Excellent tutorial. TH-cam perfection
Straight to the point ! 🔝
love the vids dude
Thanks for the fcpx editing tip - will be trying this with my next footage 👍
all the information i needed. thank you
Hahah! I just love how passive aggressive you are. Instant sub!
Finally! Someone else who uses stick mode 3. The only one that actually makes sense 👌🏼
No rubbish, Great help
Removing those thumbsticks makes such a difference
This was such a good video, straight up saying what he thinks is good.
Awesome Video!! You Are Amazing!!
Appreciate this video! Question could i use my mini 2 for real estate photography?

ok, i'm sold, subbed. nice.
great video, I am impressed
Thank you for this video!
Super! Nice video 😊 liked & subscribed, thanks for sharing 👍
The Mini2 is wild! Side by side with Inspire! Didnt expect that
Some dudes did a whole video comparing the two
Thanks for the tips, I'm going to make some of these adjustments to my mini2. Will you make a video about how you go about getting permission to fly places? Some of your videos look like castles/mountains in Europe and such. How did you go about flying there? Thanks!
@QuickAssTutorials I'm guessing this is a fake message?
Looks like the advanced gimbal settings have changed and seem to not match up anymore to advice in the video.
Thanks for all the great info !
That: "Shut up, you need an ND filter." felt a bit personal...

Great video! Should I order a 16 ND or the variety pack?
Great insights
Great video, I was hoping I can use these ND filters on new mini 3 I ordered few days ago.
Good info. Why "no thumbsticks" ?
Do you have another one of these for the maverick air 2? Or is it the same? I absolutely love this videos and im interested in possibly watching ur classes
Really nice , do you know what's the best screen / monitor for editing colors accurately & color grading ?
Flying without thumbsticks, this mans a menace to society 😂
Raising the shadows and lowering the highlights is literally the opposite of what most tutorial tells you to do, but it looks nice
Also you say the drone saves the footage in a weird way. I’m new to those but I heard about “luts”. Do you have these presets where you can just apply a preset to lost footage or so you really need to manually adjust each code in post production?
Awesome
Fast and Interesting 👍
Got any tips for color correction with Media Composer?
I’ve heard some people say film in 30fps and then change it to 24 in premier pro to get a better look. What are your thoughts on that?
Thanks for sharing
Which ND filter to use during sunset?
thank you very much, I just know the stick mode fly from you...
These settings work also for Mini 2 SE?
Could you make a video settings video for the m2p for best cinematography?
I put a 64GB card in, cheap like dirt now a days! ND brand suggerstion for Mini 2??

What about the Air2s?
What do you use at sunset? No filter?
Also, what about nd8/nd32? Do you really just stick to 16 all the time?
Have you tried LumaFusion?
So what filter you use for sunsets?
hey what do you think about the new EXP setting in the mini2 ?
What about adobe lightroom?
BTW, have you bought that vacuum on your basket?
Which one?
when he said fiddling with the nipples I lost it
You say 16 ND except for sunset, what do you use at sunset? Just take the filter off or use a stronger or weaker one?
