Thank you

[@Gelderdrone2016]

That mosque is beyond stunning!!!

[@johnriper4416]

You're absolutely right about how great DJI's night mode is. I spent a couple of weeks capturing night shots in downtown Seattle, especially of Christmas lights, and got fantastic results for the video I just posted. Thumbs UP for your video!

[@SeanAlami]

Thank you John

[@ednix6357]

All great advice. It's all about the golden hours. Keep up the good work sir

I’ve captured a few night shots with my mini 3 pro, but I’m aiming to get more, but want advise first the best settings, hence why I watched your video. Thanks so much for your guidance. 👍👍👍

[@TheSilverFoxDoesStuff]

Thanks for your help. I'm about to try my Mini 3 for the first time. I have a project in mind to video all the Christmas lights in my town in the UK

Korea is currently not free to fly at night, but it is a video that will be helpful if we fly at night😁😁

[@YoungBlaze]

are you using "NEAT VIDEO" plug into clean up some of the noise?

[@SeanAlami]

Aah Hell Nah brother

[@dannyhendy]

That footage is spectacular, inspiring.

[@SeanAlami]

Many thanks!

[@TheAquaReign]

When you said "No Cap" at the 3:38 mark I had to believe you. No one uses such a phrase without definite proof. I'm watching your video so I can do some night time filming on my mini 3 pro + anamorphic lens.

[@SeanAlami]

Appreciate it brother

[@daveys]

Great tips! I’ve been trying a bit of night drone flying with the DJI Mini 3 Pro and it is an excellent drone but you do need to tune it a little to get the best results.

[@ehmproductionz]

Sean brother, thank you so much for this great video and tips!

[@SeanAlami]

My pleasure!

[@Anonymous-gu1bt]

Awesome 😋

[@UHDGamers-re2xj]

Just bought one today and it arrives Wednesday. I'm guessing its pretty much the same principle as shooting with a full frame mirrorless or any kind of photography. Great video. Thank you.

[@SeanAlami]

Thanks for the tips. I will give them a try. Lovin the Mini 3 pro!

[@BruhmanTv]

So you use the graph at night? I was hoping you touched on that topic. Does the graph matters at night?

[@andrewcul]

How did you edit the Istanbul in the background? its very nice!

[@phazerbrains]

Thanks so much for this. Did my first night shoot with the Mini 3 and the footage turned out awesome as a result of your tips.

Hi Sean, great tips... thanks. Hey what headset goggles do you use? I struggle with seeing my screen while filming... Let me know when you get a chance. Thanks...

Bro this footage is so inspirational I'm headed on a road trip next week they Nevada and Cali and you motivated me to get night shots.

[@SeanAlami]

Cheers man🙏🏻🙌🏼

[@chadfreire7589]

Did you use any kind of nd filters for night?

[@SeanAlami]

Nope

[@killakris8522]

this video 60 fps ? or a lower shutter speed? i kind of like the cleaner movement. looks good

[@KenToney]

This is awesome. I found you searching for night video with my mini four I’ll be following you.

[@SeanAlami]

[@sh4dox]

You are Insane!!! Thank you for this Video!✌

[@SeanAlami]

🙌🏼🙏🏻

[@disco.jellyfish]

During pitch black times you can use Mist filters in the city or light pollution reduction when in the middle of nowhere - but you will need very long shutter speeds to see stuff. So filming at night in the middle of nowhere is fine for time lapses. Even Sonys FX3 or FX6 will fall apart at night without light but the tally in the middle of nowhere. But a time lapse at a place where you can see stars with LPR might give you some significantly visible earth rotation, which is incredibly satisfying if you have a drone that can stay in the air for a very long time like the Air 3. Make your time lapse to take as long as possible in these scenarios - you will also need a shutter speed of at least >1s.

[@brianzee2561]

what value did you use for noise reduction setting?

[@A_Fortunate_Traveler]

Very interesting tutorial Sean, I am amazed when I see the image of this drone. Looking a many KZbin clips as this drone is on my shopping list. By the way, Istanbul is a really wonderful city.

[@SeanAlami]

Cheers Stephan

[@shredgardener9231]

Noob question: Did you used any nd filter during those flights over the blue mosque?

[@syedashraf9115]

Please suggest how to bring the mini 3 into Turkey. I am planning trip in 2023

[@maxjcontreras]

Thanks for the vid. I don't know how much of this applies to the mavic 3... but can you make a mavic 3 specific video for low light settings?

[@SeanAlami]

Hey Max, I will try to see if I can fit that in my schedule

[@maxjcontreras]

@@SeanAlami thanks

[@auleoo]

polarised filtters can help reduce glare I heard. any comment?

[@cantan111]

2 questions, can you switch to a black & white mode for nighttime? & was that mosque the one that used to be a Church until taken over. Called the "Eye of Sophia) once of Constantinople, one of the greatest Roman cities,

[@SuperMouseDV]

Im torn.. I was going to get the Mavic 3 pro but this is showing me that I can get away with the mini 3 pro .. I have a gig I do twice a year where its best to shoot at night/twilight because its a county fair.. I wish I had it last night as I was shooting it again . My current drone is a Phantom 4 Pro (yes an old bird) and Im counting the days when I can upgrade. I want the 2 S for the 360 camera option from Insta360. But that will have to wait :) BTW TOTALLY JEALOUS of your shots. Amazing and breathtaking. As a lover of architecture your shots blew my mind..

[@elevatedframez5392]

May I ask what white balance were you at during this?

Hello my friend, how do I get these cinematographic filters from the mini3 pro?

Hey Wilson, link is in the description

[@atilla1950]

Absolutely great stuff and beautiful footage and tips! Question: Do you need a special legal permission to fly "around" like you did in Istanbul, I mean through the bridge and over mosques? Tahnk you. Keep up the good work.

[@SeanAlami]

Hi Atilla Thank you. Yes my friend you do

[@FPVSlice]

Great video! The mini 3 is indeed a beast in low light. I want to create some night timelapses with the light strobing effect, have you tried this before?

[@SeanAlami]

Thanx not yet

[@Vizeldrone]

I want too!!! I also want to do it but the attempts did not turn out very well. but they will stay. when they stay I will post the video on the channel and you will be able to see. But I already have some photos but they were in low light. A few more tries and I'll get there.

[@digitalnomadni]

Great tutorial. Went to see your Instanbul video, might I suggest you put your links at the end further along so we can enjoy the full video without the overlay placeholders.

[@thanos1978-]

VERY NICE VIDEO!you say that you use max 400 iso?can we go further?for example 1600 iso ?also the resolution is 4k?thanks and keep the nice work!

[@SeanAlami]

Thanks, you can go more but be careful with noise . Yes is 4k

[@thanos1978-]

@@SeanAlami i think that dji says that at 500 iso you have that dji call "double iso". This means that you have "more light" (over 500 iso) and you have obtained the very good picture without noise? Thanks

What's the maximum ISO you should use on the mini 3? 200 or 400?

[@SeanAlami]

I personally try not to go over 400, but 800 is my max

[@efyoutube7585]

If the drones dual native of ISO 100 and 800, why shoot at 200/400 and not skip to 800 and adjust accordingly? Just curious.
