[@mister9125]

This is what videos are supposed to be like, simple and easy to understand! Keep it up man!

[@joecerda630]

simple and to the point...awesome!

[@AuthenTech]

Thanks man

[@ablinq4218]

sweet, one of the few videos that gets straight to the point. love it thank you

[@InTheFleshInc]

I just stumbled on this video and I have a Phantom 3 recently acquired in a R/C trade, I love this thing. So I am trying to learn as much as possible for video footage, thanks.

[@Techn0forlife]

1:34 that first camera whip looked awesome actually

[@brysonshira8361]

how is this dude not more famous? he's a good speaker

[@mb69011]

Best drone tips video I've seen. Thanx for being short and direct and great shots!!

[@AuthenTech]

Cool, thanks!

[@jered3813]

Your videos have such a high overall quality. Not just 4K, but the editing, the structure, your speaking … Very well done, as always! Keeps me wondering why your views aren’t exploding!

[@AuthenTech]

Thanks Jered - I appreciate it

[@heatseeker7]

Excellent shooting tips! I was flying my Phantom 4 on the open ocean off of a 40 ft boat. I put the Phantom in smart track mode but only the camera tracked without the Phantom following us at 20 knots. The Phantom would elevate in place to keep our boat centered in the shot but it would not follow us. What did I do wrong?

[@AuthenTech]

You want to use "ActiveTrack" mode. Once your subject is highlighted, make sure you hit "Go".

[@TAPPChannel]

thanks for posting... Any tips for making that slow motion ????

[@edreaves]

Love the Active Track feature with the manual controls!

[@tbHighlandRider]

Hi, nice review! Why is my iPhone 6 not showing the picture/video Menu? I have to connect a tablet in order to change the camera resolution ...

[@FadilAziz71]

What filter did you use? The color well saturated without any glare.

[@HalleyOBrienMedia]

Great video. Simple and easy to understand. Awesome tips.

[@jonpeltier5768]

Thank you for making very straight to the point videos that are light on the intro and exit!

[@theindianwayfarer]

Tip number one is hugeeee! Thanks for that. I didn't know I could do that with active track. Crazy tip man. So stoked to try it out.

[@vandyniyomkham5032]

5 drone shooting tips 1 always use a shotgun 2 never use slugs when shooting drones 3 wait for drone to stop moving when shooting them 4 too far of a distance might effect the shooting 5 give a steady aim JK, cool video.

[@itstheBMAC]

Great tips in a short and sweet video. Love it. Thank you!

[@AlbertoMendoza]

Hey I also live in Oceanside CA, did you have to ask the cops permission to fly around the beach or did did you just fly it without asking? Thanks.

[@bradyuldrikis9434]

In your opening scenes when you fly backwards and then speed it up, is that all you do? Cheers

[@henryzt]

Great video. Just ask, have you ever crashed a drone before? I want to practice but I just got my new mavic, I'm so worry about crash it

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Nice. First flight today and I can't wait for another perspective on our channel. Will we be great for Key West - next stop on our trip. Great tips - thanks so much. Thumbs-up. -Marc

[@Lamplightprodsuk]

Great thanks, but how do you keep VLOS whilst using VR goggles?

[@juerhe1]

...thanks! How much do you pay for the P4 in the USA? (including an additional Battery)?

[@AuthenTech]

link in the description ⬆⬆⬆

[@basspig]

Decouple the gimbal from the yaw control for smooth turns with eased starts and stops.

[@nexacort]

what about some tips for us who doesn't have the fpv features on our drone? tips maybe..?

[@AuthenTech]

+Nexacort Gamer - new video for you dropping soon!

[@nexacort]

Looking forward for the video, thanks!!

[@MrBlackReviews]

Ben... if you shoot in 120 fps do you have to do anything special on your editing timeline to slow it down right? (like not just the standard slow motion)

[@AuthenTech]

I'm pretty sure the clip out of camera is already slowed down for you

[@kailashnaik]

To the point and no junk.. Something that I try to do as well. Subscribed!

[@AuthenTech]

+Kailash Naik - I try hard to leave out the junk ;) thanks for the sub!

[@freddybell8328]

AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke Do you think am ND filter is necessary on the phantom 4 pro considering that it can adjust its aperture?

[@be4fourty]

Hey, Thanks for your video!! But I am wondering if you have or could make a video in which you have some flight drills that we could "copy" to learn what "Good" looks like! You know some that we can practice doing ourselves. The reason that I ask is that there are tons of videos that do what you have here but none (that I can find) that show you how to do them.

[@AuthenTech]

That's an interesting idea, I'll definitely think about it. Thanks!

[@be4fourty]

Thanks for even thinking about it. Keep up the good work!

[@beautifulcrispsounds6821]

ok so #1. awesome tips, m gonna use them so well in my footage #2. u explain so well. #3. if you ever need any great cinamatic sounds, you know where to go. cheers mate.

Very helpful great done video, and pointer tips awesome!

[@AuthenTech]

Sweet, glad it helped you out

[@myDrone1]

how's the video quality you're getting from drone to device? mine has a lot of interference and the video breaks very often. Any tips to go around this? anything I miss out in the settings? Thanks.

[@AuthenTech]

My video feed is fantastic. Maybe you're flying near interference? Power lines? Objects in your way like buildings? Make sure your antennas are aimed correctly.

[@myDrone1]

no power lines from what i know. i am using an ipad mini. i suspect there is compatibility issue with the dji go app.

[@mryorkielover]

Great vid. I have been doing some of these tricks but I like the one about filming in slomo while in sport mode. I'm trying that one next. I filmed a decent vid of surfing in Malibu on my channel. Keep up the good work

[@AuthenTech]

I watched your surfing video - some cool close shots to the surfers. Nice job - and thanks!

[@mryorkielover]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[@TheDiamondcr33p3r]

hey. I use the Phantom 3 standard, and in the app I caint get the built in cenimatic options to come up. like the options ain't even there, I was wondering if it's because the standard drone I'm using, the app or the firmware. Iv updated the firmware to the latest as far as I know.

[@AuthenTech]

+Nick Berden - not sure, sorry man. I never owned the Standard, just the pro

[@TheDiamondcr33p3r]

AuthenTech - Ben Schmanke Well thanks for the help anyway man. And great video. Keep it up.

[@jasonl.8400]

What scooter were you using my good man?

[@alexburnside7838]

I do like the high speed but gentle input at 120 fps then slowing it down idea

[@erikrichison]

Super helpful on the video settings, thanks Ben.

[@AuthenTech]

Glad it helped, thanks

[@DWInteractive]

Great tips! I just shot my first Drone film and really had fun with it. Any tips or feedback would be great!

[@MagnumVideos]

Great tips! I'm thinking about getting my first drone for my KZbin channel. Trying to decide between the Phantom 4 and the Mavik Pro. The Phanton just looks like it has a better build quality and seems more stable. Any thoughts?

[@AuthenTech]

More videos on the Mavic Pro coming soon to the channel

[@ggpumpkinboyyy]

Hi, Ben i use Phantom 4 with my samsung S7edge i can't find the calibrate menu ,could you help me show that menu please

[@officialjoeynguyen]

[@AuthenTech]

Yes, I believe so

[@brianangeloramos6180]

Hello, Can anyone tell me what app their using to connect and use their DJI? I'm using DJI GO but when I look at videos of people using their drone, their app looks different. Thank you Guys!

[@jacobkuca7711]

He was using DJI GO in this demo. It's usually DJI GO. Litchi is a good one too though.

[@ArthurHsu17]

Great stuff man, so the trick is to simply not move the left stick? I'm new to flying and can't seem to get buttery smooth shots such as shown in the video. Thanks! You've earned a sub

[@DroneOptix]

Great tips guys..and amazing footage!

[@CezarsDroningTime]

Great tips and tricks my friend. I already started to use some of this in my videos and it really changes a lot. Now my footage is crisp and clear. Thank you for sharing with us. Cheers and have a perfect weekend.

Nice work Ben. Do you use any specific ND filters?

I haven't messed with the ND's yet - maybe in the future. So far, I've never needed them and still able to capture some awesome shots.

[@andrewmozdzen6358]

Very informative & helpful presentation, thanks!
