In this video I demonstrate 10 easy drone moves that will make any location look cinematic and make you drone shots look like they were shot by a pro. I show how to do them both manually and using automated feature on DJI drones like Spotlight, POI, ActiveShots, and ActiveTrack.

Fantastic - you are not only a great cinematographer ,you are an excellent teacher! I love that you kept in the crash, told us what to do and not do about that too! Flying isn’t only about great shots, it’s about safely getting great shots. Many thanks!

[@kingdomauthoritymedia]

One of the best instructional videos I have seen. You are a natural.

[@stevesshotts]

Nice tips and excellent presentation. The best crash/recovery reaction video EVER! The look on your face was PRICELESS! Bet you were glad that didn't happen on Seneca Rocks? "Yup... That's way down thar"!

[@flyingfilmmaker]

Haha thanks glad you enjoyed it. I was glad I captured the crash on camera lol. I’m usually a bit more careful when the drone would be hard to recover and it also doesn’t help when you’re trying to fly the drone and talk to the camera at the same time 😂😂

Grateful for every moment and every person who adds a little light to my life. 🌟

[@MJOb928]

Great video! I have watched plenty and I love how you broke down every step to make it simple, including which way to push the sticks.

[@kartsofficial1]

Too much free tips. Thanks very much🙏

[@toneydefreitas5630]

He is good i rarely enjoy a review like I did this one. And the best thing of all is that he didn't turn this into a dji add,he remained neutral and professional throughout. That was maturity well beyond his age.He is good at this.

[@InfiniteSuccessAcademy]

Great video! So happy you included the crash. Nice to see experienced flyers still crash. Many of these shots could also easily be pulled off with cruise control. You can "stack" the stick inputs while using cruise control. After each stick input, just push the cruise control button and an alert will pop up on your screen saying "Cruise Control Updated." Try it, it's pretty cool.

[@inMotionng]

I love this. Thank you 🙏

[@RoccoGermani]

Great video and beautiful location! So funny how we just barely missed running into each other by a few hours!

[@flyingfilmmaker]

Thanks man! Seriously. We'll have to figure out how to run into each other sometime haha

[@dharmitshah9441]

Genuinely loved the video and the moves brother! Just would like to add one more point if you can help people how to use the joystick correctly how to hold them for better moves it would be add on to it!

I appreciate the educational content in every delivery. By the way, regarding this 'DRONE Moves Cheatsheet,' I'm translating it into Japanese for myself, but is it okay to share this translated version with my drone buddies?

[@willcountydrone2022]

Great Video!

Nice❤ but no 180 shutter rule with nd filters? Still looking good though

[@JoshConnectMedia]

excellent dude ....

[@ilianbojanov2957]

the other day it happened to me too, near a dam it hit some trees. When I managed to find it, it was 5-6 meters away and there was no way to climb it, but after 30 minutes of struggle I managed to think of a way to tie two trees so that I could hang it and it would fall. Luckily for me, once again I get away without a problem. But I'm tired of flying a drone without a sensor. I don't want to look around the place before I make a move. Now I really want to upgrade to air 3, otherwise I'm with mini 3 for now and I'm happy with it anyway. Greetings for the nice channel and information. I will definitely purchase your course. I have a project in my head with my girlfriend, it will be photos and a video. I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice.What is not very clear to me. What type of film and what should I stick to in the story to make it interesting and keep the viewers interested. Because I also wonder how long I will be able to hold the interest, since there will be no talking in the film, there will be a text narrating and maybe a voiceover. Well, this whole structure is not entirely clear to me. Greetings and see you soon

[@Phil6875]

Just a question for tilt UP reveal shot your are underexposed minus 1,7 can It! BE a problem in post ? I saw Not it s just to BE sûre to only expose to thé final view ?

[@peterash9375]

[@Rene-cm6go]

I have a ❓ I have mini 4 pro. I don't have a wide angle lens. But when I shoot say 50/50 Sky Land.. the exposure changes either towards bright light or towards shadow or dark. If you have any advice on this I would be very grateful!Thanks..

[@flyingfilmmaker]

Check out my Air 3 settings vid on. Everything in that video applies to the Mini 4 pro as well and will solve your problem.

[@Rene-cm6go]

@@flyingfilmmaker Thanks! I'll check it! 👍

[@Roys_Drones]

Love your videos. I fly twice a day to show the horrible smoke rolling into the mountain village of Garden Valley, Idaho. Check it out.

[@flyingfilmmaker]

Thanks!!! Idaho is a beautiful place to fly! I was just out there last month and I need to get all the footage from that trip edited into a video haha

[@christophersharpe1095]

Mavic 3?

[@JohnMeyer]

Air 3!

[@christophersharpe1095]

@@JohnMeyerNice! I just ordered my Mavic 3 classic after going back and forth between that and the mini 4 pro. I like that the mini 4 pro will easily switch to vertical. But I don’t know…I will definitely use your tutorial . And appreciate your keeping it real when you crashed 😂. So glad your unit survived! Pacific Northwest? BC?

[@Bernie-ki5pl]

I'm selling my mini 4 pro. It includes the Fly More Combo. Black carrying bag included. Hard carrying case included. All for only $1050 ..I'm in los angeles,CA hmu
