Are these cheat sheets available in Imperial units?

[@LowTrucker74]

I'm in the United States. I want to buy some sheet sets, but can I pay in dollars?

[@walters0331]

I might be wrong, but I have the controller without the built-in screen so I have to connect my phone to view everything. About half the settings you mention in the video I can't seem to find. Is there a significant difference in settings just between the two styles of controllers?

[@ramroddrone5449]

Darren Dave, Australia, here thanks for this video. At 77 years of age. I have just got this drone last week Previously I had the DJI Mavic, 2 zoom great machine, but this one is a learning curve for me. Thanks for all the tips.

[@DMProductions]

Hey thank you! I'm sure you'll love this new machine

[@redgiggsy798]

Hi Mate, great tips, just bought this drone, the DJI Academy is pretty good, but this video has shown me so much more on unlocking some it's features Thanks. 👍

How do you like it

[@ramroddrone5449]

@@3rdtwirl494 not using it enough. It’s a learning curve how to download your footage to your phone. It’s bullshit Dji I tell you about its range even out in the country. I get 2.5 km out of This DJI mini four pro and also get pretty much the same out of my Mavic 2 zoom

Take it easy, binge all the videos and you’ll be fine !

[@ronschultz1977]

Darren, great video. Can you produce a video that speaks to using your LUT's; especially with regard to various editing software.

[@EliMandarin]

I have just purchased your cheat sheets for mini 4 pro. I must say that they were so well designed, not only with how we can control but also other very useful information. It must have taken you a lot of time to do this…It’s extraordinary and you should charge more for this because you deserve it! Thank you so so much! ❤Good job!

[@SuperRodMan]

Thanks for the details, I've watched a few setting guides for my mini 4 pro and yours is by far the most thorough and yet not painfully long. Much appreciated 👍😊

[@1CherylWaring]

Newbie to drones here! Really useful tutorial, thank you. I bought your cheat sheets earlier today having just got my Mini 4 Pro on Sunday. Really nice and easy to follow. I think that they will come in handy when I'm out and about and will save me trawling through the 100+ page manual for what I need. Got the LUTs too and looking forward to playing with those once I have some edit worthy footage!

[@DMProductions]

Thank you so much for the support really hope they help you out !

[@nctacomaoutdoor]

Picking up my Mini4 Pro today, will definitely be coming back to watch this video as soon as I get home. Thanks and keep the videos coming,

[@DMProductions]

Good choice!

[@Red.E.Hustle]

So happy I found this video. I was going to make my own cheat sheets as I can’t remember all this information when I really need it. Yours are infinitely better and came with luts. Got the move sheet as well. Thank you!

[@smilingscottsman]

Thank you so much. I just went through this video very slowly so I could make the adjustments you advised. Hopefully, sometime soon I'll get to try these out.

I do have a question. I switched my camera to JPEG + Raw. I noticed that my raw photos are saved as DNG. Is that a RAW photo. It doesn't seem like it because the resolution is size is only 960 x 720, and JPG is 4032 x 3024. I swore you said the RAW image would be large in size (resolution). Did I do something wrong?

[@DMProductions]

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

Lots of wise tips that apply to other DJI drones as well. What You say at the time 04:50, about 4:3 versus 16:9 ought to be valid for other drones as well. Correct? Gimbal speed. Now and then pointing the camera straight down in order to verify the exact position that slow mode will be annoying. Okey, the C1 button can be set and move the gimbal down very fast, but returns the gimbal at 0 degrees. Time 11:00. RTH when signal is lost..... BUT, the system calculates the battery capacity needed to get back to the Home Point and will set off for the Home Point regardless of this option. It surpriced and tricked me once...... Time 12:40. Setting of a session just practising hand catching is a good investment. It makes flying possible from rocky areas having no flat spots at all. The alternative is no flying. Works fine even for the bigger drones like the Mavic 3. Just a little reservation for very gusty wind. You might get hit by a prop..... Sine mode, yes. Turning OA off makes it easier but usually not used. The risk is starting a second flight and forgetting the OA is off..... Default settings....... Some Tubers tell that updates now and then change the settings used.

I have had Autels for several years and it was time for a change. I purchase the new Mini 4K BUT was not impressed with it, plus the USB-C cord didn't connect to my iso device properly. So I returned it and just received this Mini 4 Pro, so far, it's hands down over anything I have had in the last 5 years. Thanks so much for the video..

[@tib9833]

Awesome video. Does anyone know how to exit out of quick shot mode while in flight? I just want to go back to shooting a normal video after using quick or master shots.

[@DMProductions]

Just have to end the quick shot , you can press the x or the pause button then select normal video mode

[@NurseVoke]

Thanks for this video Really helpful I tried to do the quick shot and master shot settings but it’s saying “GPS signal low”

[@mikeburdass246]

Hi Mate , I seem to remember seeing somewhere that the Green LED lights on a Mini 4 Pro can be changed to stay on when taking a video but cant find anything about it and when flying on a night and you start to record a video the lights go off and you loose sight of the drone , any suggestions cheers Mike

[@beganny]

9:30 does it not use obstacle avoidance during RTH?

Thank you buddy !

[@don-xl]

@@DMProductions Sure thing. Keep creating that great content!!

[@brandon9689]

I'm a huge fan of using Cine/ Disabled Obstacle avoidance for responsive and safe hand catching. Some users suggest switching to sport mode briefly which does also work. But it's far less forgiving if you make a mistake. Or if you forget to put the settings back.

hi, could you tell me when making changes to any settings on the controller does the drone have to be turned on and connected, will it not damage it just sitting there, it gets very warm, also will the controller remember the settings when its turned off or do they need imputting every time ??, thanks for all the tips, a new mini 4 flyer

hello I'm switching from mini2 to mini4 pro, which I find excellent. With the mini2 I could directly download onto my iPad pro (via a hub) in the Photo App the photos and videos that I captured on the mini2's SD card. Now with the mini 4 pro only photos appear in the Photo app, videos are invisible!!! I tried in h264 and h265 same thing. (knowing that I am able to read files via the iPad File app!) An idea? THANKS.

Great vid as always bud! I still pick a golden nugget up from your vids - this time it was the tip about taking photos in 4:3 - of course! 🤦 Hey - one thing to watch out for that I might mention in my next vid as well is that with the recent massive update a lot of settings get reset to default - for example I always shoot in dlog-m, but after the update it reset to standard and I didn't realise until I got home and started editing the footage! Also the sharpness and noise reduction reset as well! All the best! Amok

New issue I am having: The flightdatarecord file I get from the rc2 remote has no data for times when I was disconnected during a long waypoint flight. This prevents me from being able to use data in gauges that I add to video. I would think that when the mini4 reconnects, it should batch update any missed data, as it does always reconnect just fine.

[@wilcom2925]

[@scotsdronecowboy]

Hi Darren, thanks for tips! I'm thrown slightly however, you mention you record at 30fps, and are UK based like me, so any reason you don't use 25fps? Any benefit to change my settings from 25fps to 30fps? I was on the understanding 25fps is best used in the UK and tends to help with "light flickering" when recording. Be good to hear back from you on this, cheers.

[@AB_Creative_Digital]

I think you might have missed a bit. He said he uses both 30 fps and 25 fps. 25 fps is the standard filming frame rate in the uk, this will give your video the most natural movement and cinematic look. 30fps is a higher frame rate and so has more frames which means the footage will be slightly smoother looking with more detail during movement, however the downside is the movement can look slightly unnatural. Light flicker is mainly with Flurecent lights, and I've only noticed this with flurecent lights in units on my video camera, but the same could happen with street lights, house lights and petrol station forecourt lights. Basically you wont notice any flickering during normal daylight filming. I hope this helps mate.

[@scotsdronecowboy]

@@AB_Creative_Digital thanks for taking the time to respond and explain in further detail, very helpful and greatly appreciated 👍

Just tried to purchase Mini 4 Pro cheat sheets using Apple Pay. Would not go through. Great video.

[@DMProductions]

Hey everything appears to be working , have you tried again or a different payment method?

[@playmedialive9425]

Use case for “signal loss - Desend” With geo unlock at active registered air field if signal is lost you don’t want that drone to RTH and potentially get in the way of a maned aircraft and you also don’t want it to hover and potentially be hit by maned aircraft. Better to descend. Your drone may get crushed by other moving vehicles but that is better than a maned aircraft crash due to your drone’s signal loss.

[@Anadrolus]

For hand catching, nobody talks about it, but the drone should be facing you, this way it does not try to escape when you grab it, at least on my Mavic 3 Pro.
