#1, #2, #3, #4 or #5? Which one do you like best? :)

[@swarajsamal123]

Reveal and fly through shot👍🤘

[@anhhaphotography]

4 and 5 for sure!

[@grodz437]

Pretty tough to choose, but I personally like #1. 👍👍

[@tibfox]

For me #5 is the most satisfying :P Watched it 3 times and I am still hungry ;)

[@FielDeLaVega]

1, 4 &5

[@bradotto]

Thanks, Mike. I particularly appreciate the explanation of the joystick movements needed to achieve each type of shot. Most tutorials tell you what you should be shooting but forget to actually mention the controller moves to make it happen! Really great help as I learn my basic droning.

[@cjbayle]

Finally someone who tells you the shots you should do and then shows you how to do them. Subscribed immediately and rung the bell. Can't wait for more. Thanks

[@Never_Knot]

This is great! I've been using some of these shots already, we are slowly getting better with the orbit and including it in more and more videos

[@bodywise007]

Showing the actual stick controller movements is key to making this a great video. It's more than simply telling us what are great movements. Show us how it is created -- step by step. How were you able to fly over a crowd of people?

[@KardosoMedia]

Crane shots are probably my favourite! Great video Mike!

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks dude! Yeah i agree, they're really cool!

[@GALLEN-vf7uy]

Best drone tutorial I've seen, hands down.... I'm going to start practicing with a purpose now.....Thanks for posting this well made video....New Sub

[@DroneSupremacy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MacAutomationTips]

Thanks for these suggestions. Looking forward to practicing them.

[@MichiganRocks]

Great video, thanks. My first drone is arriving this week, so I needed something like this. I really hate all the ads in a ten minute video though. I make videos too, but I refuse to put ads in the middle because I don't want my viewers to be annoyed with them.

[@alexgigov7079]

Excellent tutorial for people that are wondering how to execute these shots. After couple of years flying Fpv drones in acro, these movements were so natural for me when I got my first cinematic drone. Great job! Greets form Varna

[@TamerBekir]

Perfect video, man! Thank you. You tell us what you’re about to show us. Then you describe what it is with a b roll. Straight to the point. Subscribed

[@Hawkeye-AS24]

You gotta love course lock as well with turning the drone and keeping it pointed at a POI while passing it by at a nice speed.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Yes, it works really well! :)

[@korpulian]

Great tutorial! 👍Here are my 5 cents on #1: These tiny jitters, if you can recognize them, are because of the micro-sd-card. I'm guessing, SanDisk? Two solutions for that: 1.) Always format the card before flying. That said, SanDisk extreme cards (and cheaper ones) are prone to jittering, even after formatting. 2.) Try Lexar's pro line. They might be a little more expensive, but those are real beasts. I was a SanDisk guy for a long time, now I am only using Lexar Pro cards, especially on high rates and res. Very reliable.

[@thompsonsteveo2860]

Thank you, you do a great job of explaining how to operate drones.

[@lifealiveandliving]

loved the video. Thanks for the referral to another great artist. Going to practice my circles. I think its impactful and uses several controls

[@vantagepointvideotexas]

You beat me to the manual orbit tricks! Excellent job. One thing. On manual orbit if you also push slightly forward on the right stick it will prevent the natural want of the drone to slowly "spiral away" from the subject. :-)

[@dallasmaher]

Nice video as always mate. Flying backwards through tight spaces is also an impressive move.... Frame it up to get right line & go fwd, then reverse it!

[@alexmasselink6435]

Or work smart - fly it forwards and then reverse in post ;) (when possible)

[@ados1980cz]

@@alexmasselink6435 exactly, unless you have object that will reveal that the footage was reversed... Like people walking and cars etc.

[@terrypaquet9871]

Appreciate your advice!

[@doblebo]

2:18 seems illicit, but I'm thinking with the right camera angle, the drone is not actually flying over people, but behind them. Such as with a Mavic 2 zoom or Mavic 2 pro in the 4k cropped hq video mode. Sounds fine right?

[@TahoeSteve]

If he's ***really*** NOT flying directly over people here he needs to make a video on how. Looks irresponsible to me ( but I would love to be proved wrong).

[@chancez6052]

It’s so cleared to understand the skills of drone,thanks,du

Great tutorial for such nice 5 drone movement. Love it and subscribed.

Thank you Mike! God bless you.

[@ChuckLitchfield]

very smooth! #5 is really tricky and lots of practice.

Great video, Mike! I have a "my favourite drone shots" video on my to-do list, and magically yours came up on my suggested videos list...scary how KZbin reads our minds!

[@teejaytorres9468]

Thank you sir! Learned a lot, saved it to my drone playlist and definitely subscribing! God bless!

[@Wildicon19]

These are some awesome techniques for operating a drone! The crane and the Orbit would be my choices moves, and when I get better then the fly through will be my choice.

[@raptor7541]

Hi Mike, i am sure my mavic air 2 is too fast in tripod mode. Do you agree that the drone does not go at a crawl speed in that mode. I find it harder to capture cinematic shots. Do you know of a setting that brings the speed down, or will it be a firmware update issue. I noticed this on my first flight out the box, and the issue remains to this day. Thanks.

[@davaoeagle72713]

Aloha! Another great tutorial! All techniques are good but need to master. Thanks Mike.

[@sSnuzzy]

Hey new to the channel, but I see you unzipping a mavic air in the intro do you think it’s a great drone for beginners? I want to get into commercial real estate photography.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Yeah I can definitely recommend the Air for a beginner, it’s great!

[@adrianshipley2026]

Great tips, looking forward to trying them out.

[@dalegreer3095]

I just want to point out to your viewers that in the US, you need to get a waiver from the FAA to fly over people or cars, and also you have to be careful about flying over buildings if you're in controlled airspace. If you're in Class G airspace, you can fly 400 ft over a building as long as you're within 400 ft of it horizontally. In the city where I live, the central business district has Class B down to the surface. I can use LAANC to fly there, but I can't go above 100 ft even next to a building unless I get a waiver.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Good shout, always be aware of the flying rules in your country.

[@johndoyle4723]

In UK we cannot fly over crowds of people, or within 50Metres of people and buildings, without their permission. Personally I try to never fly over anyone, even if I am 50 metres above them. Things are very sensitive in UK, after Gatwick incident. Thanks for the video, I am still perfecting my manual orbit flying.

[@gvsukids]

In the US you don’t need permission to fly over people. They are in a public place and not regulated.

[@dalegreer3095]

@@gvsukids Section 107.39 Operation over human beings. No person may operate a small unmanned aircraft over a human being unless that human being is: (a) Directly participating in the operation of the small unmanned aircraft; or (b) Located under a covered structure or inside a stationary vehicle that can provide reasonable protection from a falling small unmanned aircraft.

[@negativeprofit]

Justin P please take he time to learn the rules. www.faa.gov/uas/ as a private pilot instrument rated and a part 107 pilot. We need to respect the reasons these rules exist.

[@mryuwanda9433]

Amazing shot! I want to be a drone pilot, but a little bit confiusing between mavic air and mavic pro, do you have any recomendation for me? Thanks before, cheers!

[@ardscorner]

MR Yuwanda get yourself a good used air or spark and learn to fly and use the camera etc. Better to crash cheaper drine whe you learn. Plus if you master a less able drone you will then be really good with the pro. Learn and master all camera settings as well.

[@garybuchan9217]

Great video again, I do the orbit shot as much as I can, as I do fishing vessel videos. Just wondering if you can do active track on an object which is already moving.

[@krisbirth4761]

Hey Mike, you have a vid about your settings,??. Watched your vid on the beach, and everything looks so amazing... you have these colors in after editing or you have special settings ? Thanks .!

[@bdseidler]

Thx for the tips. I use all of these shots and practice often but now I know why. Thx for explaining why these shots work.

[@RonaldBrown59]

Great flying techniques Mike. I use some of them already, but I will try to learn the ones I don't know. Thanks for sharing.

[@GeneMoretti]

Great video, thank you. I noticed you shooting over water a number of times. I seen videos where the drone falls into the water. When you fly over water do you do anything special with the drone sensors. I'm afraid to fly out over a body of water since I'm new to drone flying.

[@Strayawayfelix]

Amazing, thanks, you got yourself a new subscriber.

On the first technique, are you ramping the warp at different speeds or how do you set it up in post?

Yeah agree those are the most common and anyone who fly drones must master. Have you seen Marius Gabriel Popa with his extreme pullback shots? If not check him out he is a master with his Mavic Air and still running on first ever stock firmware version of the Mavic Air!

[@BrianJ08021]

For #1 the quick reveal you want to push the right stick backwards not forward to get your shot. Everything else was spot on.

[@NakeanWickliff]

Thanks! What are your gimbal pitch settings. Mine stops abruptly. When I slow it down I can’t seem to land the horizon where I want because the camera keeps moving when I let go.

[@msabri4web]

Please what the best way to record a horizontal video of the beach from one side in a cinematic mode?

[@Motolonggis]

Thanks for the tips!

[@fersouzacruz]

Great tips. U could explain about camera sensitivity... to move slow... thanks

[@ericsontan]

This is awesome, this is the king of video ive been looking for a tutorial. \m/

[@karbanation]

I agree with your shots but one thing I do that I’m going to encourage you to try is to reconfigure your finger placements. To get the most steady cinematic content possible, you should be holding the joysticks with your thumbs and pointer fingers and adjust the gimbal with your left middle finger. It’s awkward at first but when mastered it’s the best. Would you try to write your name using one finger to hold the pen? Same principles with joysticks apparently 🤷🏻‍♂️ either way, it worked for me so maybe it can work for you 😊

[@younohoo4588]

Ken Heron inspired me to do so. Now I operate my drone just like you've mentioned above. Once you get the hang of it it feels natural.

[@scottkraller2198]

in the beginning reveal shots, are you speed-ramping those as the drone draws away, or is it a type of zoom transition?

[@JoergWessels]

6:35 I don't know if crossing a busy road is illegal in your country but independent from that it has one trait: It's dangerous.
