5 DRONE FLYING TECHNIQUES YOU MUST MASTER!

[@DroneSupremacy]

#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

[@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).

[@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?

[@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

[@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

[@Saltyscales]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@MacAutomationTips]

Thanks for these suggestions. Looking forward to practicing them.

[@jonx76]

Loved the last one! Gonna practice it!

[@scottkraller2198]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@thompsonsteveo2860]

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

[@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!

[@humphreymothis3923]

Thanks for sharing this video with us❤️❤️❤️

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks for watching!

[@adanjuarez3181]

What do you recomend more mavic air or spark

[@DroneSupremacy]

If you have the money, Mavic Air!

[@adanjuarez3181]

@@DroneSupremacy ok thank you

[@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 .!

[@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! :)

[@ferrd4]

On #1 @ 0:54 and @1:00 i want to learn that fast movement between the beganing and end of the shot. I believe that is editing work. I am using openshot and i couldn't find frame blending if that's how you do it . Please help out. Thanks.

[@DroneSupremacy]

It’s called “speed ramping”, look it up, it’s really easy 👌🏼

[@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.

[@iloveujin]

6:38 what's that crossing fast from right to left over the bridge?

[@JuanGarcia-tf6zn]

I saw it too! It can't be a bird!

[@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

[@weltentdecken]

Great video! Some of these techniques I have already used, but some are new for me and now I really want to try them and practice more. For example the crane shot and the circle + reveal shot. Thank you for the inspiration! What do you think of the new drone video, that I have uploaded to my channel?

[@pmshop100]

What is the video acceleration called at 0:54 and 1:00 ? Been trying to look it up but all I get is how to speed up and slow down a clip. Not reveal as you demonstrate. Those 2 clips specifically...how did you produce that reveal?

[@aljezwijghuizen2125]

It's called a "speed ramp".

[@DonJoyce]

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!

[@kevinrandomvlogsolocyclist4916]

Thank you so much handsome..I love your tips. These are what i am looking for...Ily for this.Godbless.

[@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.

[@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.

[@RoyTheKing241]

Are you in cinematic mode for manual control, or have you adjusted the controller to smooth things out? If so what settings are you using?

[@DroneSupremacy]

In most cases i'm in cinematic mode, yes!

[@RoyTheKing241]

@@DroneSupremacy great drone work! When you do some speed ramping are you recording at 60fps or higher?

[@KardosoMedia]

Crane shots are probably my favourite! Great video Mike!

[@DroneSupremacy]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Cmfer]

Thank you so much i just started to fly this summer with a budget drone to master skills this helps a lot

[@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.

[@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. :-)

[@bigshotmedialv]

Great work and thanks for all your help. How do I download the luts from your site. Again thanks

[@DroneSupremacy]

Hey Todd! Thanks for the kind words. Which LUTS specifically do you mean? I have a paid one ($5) for Mavic 2 Pro and i have a free one for Osmo Pocket. Let me know so i can give you some directions.

[@docbybay]

What is the best stick configuration for a right handed beginner?

[@msabri4web]

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

[@teejaytorres9468]

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

[@MarlonKingShow]

Some nice suggestions, just got mine so need to try some of these out

[@HopeFullSpiritFlyer1]

nice video information... for the 4th, you say to cut off sensors, but we msut cut off gps too? it's better? and for the 5th, orbit mode, while the drone orbit, is it possible to change the "yaw", and turn the drone on imself, and still continue flying orbit? thank you.

[@fersouzacruz]

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

[@terrypaquet9871]

Appreciate your advice!

[@AlienDrones]

Thanks for sharing friend! I like most of these am planning to use them for future shots... Good Flying!

[@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.

[@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.

[@chrismai1889]

I'd love to master the manual orbit for a commercial shot I will be doing next week. It's a small truck with an additional mast and I want to rise on the front of the truck, circle 1 or 2 times around the rising mast then fly to the back and through the backdoor into the vehicle. Mavic 2 zoom.

[@marcusineson]

Thanks for a really clear explanation of how you achieve these shots I’m just starting with drones so really useful 🙏🏻

[@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.

[@650ib]

Thanks for the awesome advice man!

[@chancez6052]

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

[@BenderTubeOG]

Excellent tutorial. I’m going to try some of these when the weather clears up a little

[@MichaelMyers33]

Man, what is that at 6:39 over the bridge? And right before, almost the same under the bridge?

[@DroneSupremacy]

A seagull I suppose? Not sure though 😂

[@zozoolaroxmusic]

Yesterday started that combos while testing the nd filters as well. Such fun and the result is way better than just tilting cam up and down

[@upwardboundaerialandground5221]

nice work. love your video.what kind of drone do you have?

Thanks! I currently use the Mavic 2 Pro

Thank you for the great video. did the manual circle shot in my last video. you are right it is satisfying.

[@benmichalovitch3698]

Huge fan! Just getting into it myself and looking for a software to use. Any recommendations??

[@DroneSupremacy]

Hey Ben, thanks! For Windows - Adobe Premiere Pro (it's paid on a monthly basis), or if you're looking for a free alternative - Davinci Resolve. For Mac - Final Cut Pro X (it's paid, but you pay once and you own it forever), or also Davinci Resolve (it works on Mac and again - it's free) Best of luck! :)

[@KevinLe]

Hey Mike did the new firmware update solve your issues with the Smart Controller?

[@grodz437]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@DroneSupremacy]

Some of them, yes. But i still feel the same about some of the other negative aspects of the controller. I'm keeping it for now though, and i'll be using it for 100% of my flights so i can live with it and see how good it is in the long run.

[@adrianshipley2026]

[@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.

I do use some of these moves that you mention. My question is have you tried them in ATTI MODE. The reason I'm asking is because movement is a lot smoother with GPS off. Please video new supporter to your Channel.
