Here are 5 Tips That Make The DJI Mini 3 PRO Even BETTER! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mV63d2yugph-fqc

[@jasonmills744]

Thanks Matt!! This has been a hot topic, I’ve had many questions about right space flying

[@jasonmills744]

Tight*

[@thedronedudedenmark]

Hey Mattheww Please look on my comment and answer on this. Is that You or that is spam ? I wrote on telegram and I’m not sure at that is You behind that account…

[@TheDroneCreative]

@@thedronedudedenmark hey, this is a scammer and not me I'm afraid. Sorry!

[@michaelrey2137]

When learning to fly straight I would fly parking lots and use the painted lines to follow just looking at the screen. Fly forward,backwards and side to side. It works good for muscle memory!

[@TheDroneCreative]

This is a great tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@alanscott4384]

As a pure novice I am learning so much from your content and appreciate the way that you deliver it in an easily understood fashion. Much appreciated 👍

[@dr.s.p.]

I absolutely agree with you. As a novice for this new pastime of mine to get me out and about and thoroughly enjoy it, this was the (now only) channel I needed to go to for anything for a newbie drone related lessons that are easily understood. At 74 years old, that means a lot to me personally and this chap makes it a joy to listen and learn - and never be bored like on some channels.

[@MrPlaneTalk]

Wow! I have to say, Matthew, that you do the absolute best videos. Your video editing, instruction, pacing is so good! You don’t wander off-topic and you share crucial tips and insights, including all the settings. This video, for example, has a large image of the controller on the right, perfectly mimicking what you are explaining on the left. Perfect! I guess you did a screen record, but how you kept the video of the controller perfectly still was stupendous! It allows the viewer to actually see what you are doing on the controller settings. Having the larger close-up view was perfect, compared to other KZbinrs screen records. You deserve a million subscribers.😊

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you. I really appreciate such kind feedback. Makes all the hard work that goes into these videos worthwhile!

[@mikespies786]

Hi, Matthew. A quick note of thanks for all you do to help us "newbies" learn proper Drone procedure, protocol and practices. Your videos are well done, accurate and easy to follow. Please keep them coming.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

[@ohad1011]

I appreciate you man So much useful information. Your channel is a gold mine. Keep up the good work.

[@buttonmasher4114]

Top tier videos my man 👌 always learning something new

[@mickeytheviewmoo]

Great video. Exposure is always tricky. Having a fixed exposure where the light is constantly changing is not a good look. Some of your footage will be under exposed and some will be over exposed. Personally, I think auto exposure is the best option in these circumstances.

[@robocopleextraordinaire4148]

Awesome - learning a lot through your videos!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Happy my videos are helping!

[@joycegrieves7284]

Thankyou so much Matthew, I love your teaching technique, no lecture drivel just dive straight in! I will be watching your clips more than once, I am so enjoying the learning process thanks to your help.

[@skypixel74]

i like your Videos, thank you for your Work, best regards from Germany

[@flightographist]

Solid recommendations. Coming up on one yr with the M3P. One thing I am trying to master now, while using all of these recommendations, is to fly inside a canopy going down a slope while maintaining the same smooth low altitude perspective, it's very tricky. An altitude cruise feature would be a great software update

[@xtrofilm]

Absolutely Brilliant.

[@pictureTHIS1973]

Wow. Thanks a lot for incredibly linking the technical steps with pictures inside my brain! 🙏🏻 Really well done!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Oh no! Sorry to hear that! Did the drone survive? Appreciate the kind feedback on this video.

[@StephenEhrlichPhotos]

@@TheDroneCreative I live in the USA. Thankfully I purchased the DJI insurance, and was able to get a replacement from DJI for a reasonable fee. I strongly recommend the DJI insurance. My poor drone after my crash had a broken arm.

I am a newbie in this field of flying. I have the DJI PRO 4 Mini and so far I have logged in only a mere 1:35 min of air time. Mostly just trying to figure out what I can do with this. Your videos are great!! Thank you for making them so people like us can have somewhere to get our foundation built and get our confidence level high enough to be a pro flyer. Hopefully, I could make a cinematic movie! Need help though!!!

[@TheRareCriticalThinker]

[@aburayed]

Excellent, thank you for this very helpful video

[@Vicvanzyl]

your reviews are very handy and well done, one suggestion for DJI ...a lot of people stay in restricted or no fly zones. please ask for 5m hight restriction in these areas so we could set up, test and learn ..

[@aerialdronevision]

Hey 👋, Matthew I'm a air 2 pilot of 4 years, and had many drones, but now I have the mini 3 pro, Wow what a machine :). I would like to thank you, your delivery of info is great, you remind me of my important considerations one should have. I've learnt lots from you including have an obstacle avoidance turned off but screen warnings turned on brilliant thanks for highlighting keep up the good work more mini three pro tips needed I'm biased 😆 happy New Year Matthew. 🎉

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you for the kind feedback. Happy the video has helped! Happy New Year!

[@ardeesnapper]

That's another very informative video Matthew, many thanks

[@Livingtheglobe]

you forgot to mention turning off the sideways movement, this ensures the drone won't drift. Which makes it flying straight much easier. Great vid!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Yeah - this is a great point - thanks for sharing. The only niggle is it will still drift up and down with obstacle avoidance set to bypass and sideways movement turned off. So if you fly close to a branch it will duck and dive. This isn't a huge issue, but if you want a perfectly straight tracking shot for example it's just something to be aware off. Thanks for sharing - really appreciate it!

Thank you so much for those tips! My wife uses her iPhone when walking to get video and even the iPhone 14 pro max doesn't remove all the walking motion. Flying the mini 3 with obstacle avoidance off did the trick. I felt a bit foolish on that one lol but worry about hitting things telling me I should be walking closer to the drone and watching the drone, not the controller screen! Thank you for all your great tips videos

Thanks again for another great video, flew up a river in a narrow canon and would have gone father if I had a few of this pointers… good info!

[@PhillipSkraba]

I've touched on this subject a few times over the years, as it's no doubt my favourite when it comes to drones. However, let's be honest, all 9 of these are a bunch of crap, and there are really only two tips - drop the hammer in Sports Mode and make sure DJI Refresh is activated. I used to be religious about your second tip, but over time I've developed Batman style sense with experience and now fly tight spaces from far distances with only a tiny bit of adrenaline pumping, keeping my fingers crossed the signal won't go to the dark side. It's a video I'll do in the near future. 90K incoming Matthew!! That is awesome 🤜🏻🔥🤛🏻

[@TheDroneCreative]

I tried the 'drop the hammer' method once. Clipped a branch and sent the poor guy down the edge of a small cliff. It's now a studio prop 😂. You are right though, over time you can build up the muscle memory and senses to push the boundaries but looking directly down the line of sight the drone will be flying in tight spaces makes it so much easier. Looking forward to seeing you hit 100k this year too!!

[@PhillipSkraba]

@@TheDroneCreative see, that’s how you get studio props!! Yes, I agree, tip #2 is a very important one to start with. 100k, this year 🤘🏻

[@2ifXC]

Phillip!😂 Love your videos and sense of humour . You taught me to be a good pilot three years ago when I got my first drone, the original Mini. I was already a capable photographer but learning from you I managed to get great video in the air even with such a limited platform. As a result I just kept flying the thing even when better products showed up. But now I’ve caved and await delivery of my second drone, The Mini 3 pro. Mathew, Thanks. I always learn something new from your videos. Your pacing and lesson plans are excellent and won you a new subscriber. I can see how this drone will address many of the technical limitations of my Mini 1 but also allow me to do things easily that were quite difficult to master manually. I am most excited about the features on the new controller and you’ve been helping me prepare.

[@grahamniven]

Cracking video with some really useful tips. The Obstacle Avoidance sensors can't be turned off. Setting OA to Off in the menu only disables intervention. All the OA sensors remain active, feeding info to the drone's electronic brain. This is why the radar thingumajob still works with OA set to "Off". The real reason the drone rises as the ground rises with OA "Off" is because of how the infrared positioning/landing sensors function. The Mini 2 does the exact same thing.

[@aldenpines]

Excellent, thanks!

[@JamaicanInsider]
