DJI Mini 4 Pro QUICKSHOTS - WHY YOU MUST USE THEM !

[@DMProductions]

Years later I'm still using QuickShots! Which is your favourite ? Get my Ultimate Drone Moves CHEAT SHEET here - dmprovisuals.com/products/dji-cheat-sheets-ultimate-drone-moves

[@dsetia]

Do the sheets include moves using Mini 4 specific enhancements such as cruise control etc?

[@karelpolack]

Unfortunately it seems quickshots do not support 25 fps.

[@KurtBliss]

WOW ! I never knew this was on my DJI 4 I'll try these tips out Thanks

[@DMProductions]

you gotta try this !

[@MrWindoof]

Thanks for explaining and showing all the different Quick Shots

[@RonaldBrown59]

I love all the DJI quickshots. Thanks for sharing.

[@DMProductions]

Thanks for watching 👌

[@georgekelly1948]

Great demo, Darren. You have given me the bug to revisit quick shots this week.

[@DMProductions]

Go for it George !

[@LucBequette]

I love Sa Calobra. Got some great shots right at that exact location with the loop and the cars switchbacking down the mountain!

[@DMProductions]

Such an incredible place

[@alienman7866]

quik shots are great for subjects other than the remote pilot ;)

[@amyers01]

Good stuff. Quick question. When you hit ‘Go’, does it start the recording automatically? And if so, does the recording stop automatically when the quick shot is done?

[@timoryan4441]

Very cool shots and commentary Darren.

[@DMProductions]

Thank you mate

[@gugigugiUtube]

Hope my avata2 get these features also...😮

[@firedogwin]

Very detailed thank ❤🤙🏾😊

[@takeoff1999]

another idea for postproduction: use ASTROID in post, cut it where the window starts 'closing'. make a copy of it. place the two astroids on the timeline. reverse the second one on post. by playing you get the 'ball' forming and thereafter unfolding again. gives an awsome scene.

[@DMProductions]

Yes!! 🔥

[@mfarmarco]

Do you happen to have a link or clip of this? I'd love to see it.

[@user-sh9ut5mv4i]

I see what ur saying!! Do after it forms ball reverse it right

[@ukmonk]

great video thank you!

[@petercederpark3637]

What are you recommended the kind of an editing application or programme?

[@IslandDigital]

Hello, I have an interesting question. I am a Drummer. I make multicam videos of me playing Drums. My question is can I make any quick shot or perhaps make a waypoint mission that will circle me as I play drums above me and/or bring it lower with a radius that circles me ? Can I also control the speed it’s circling me as well. I would then later edit it into my video as an angle to go to. Does the Avata 2 have these features as well so I can do this indoors? Thanks VERY MUCH.

[@DMProductions]

Sure, for this you could do a simple circle but for more control I would do a waypoints that way you can control the speed and gimbal tilt 👌

[@patriotwoodworker6092]

To anyone: How would I video my property? I would like to do kinda slow spiral starting on my back deck. Property is an acre. Thanks

[@khalidalkaabi5506]

How can I get so far with my DJI RC 2 can I use it with the mavic 3 pro or any support drone 😢😢😢

[@dgibbsfl]

Have you evaluated obstacle avoidance with these quikshot maneuvers?

[@DMProductions]

Yes works fine the drone will just stop

[@ziqeeerJAMESCLUTHARD]

Very well explained. Q: if I use any option from the QuickShot and mark the subject/point of interest, can the subject move or it has to be stable in one place? Meaning if I do Helix with me as subject, can I be running distance of lets say 50meters and the drone follows my position, or I have to stay at the place? Thanks in advance for your answer

[@dimifons]

Seems like it needs to much work to get started, especially if you compare them with a drone like the Neo that’s more than half cheaper than the mini pro. And than you are standing there with a controller in your hand, nice shot 😂 DJI should make it easier to create these quickshots with the Mini Pro.

[@RudraAshishShivalkar]

where I can download BGMs for drone shots

[@MrBaza70]

Nice vid! But the real question is ... where were you and what is that road??? That road looks amazing to drive. LOL

[@DMProductions]

Mallorca, incredible island, I did a tour around the island with the Mini 3 pro on the channel

[@disco.jellyfish]

Most quick shots usually fall apart rather quickly once the subject itself is moving because the camera movements the drone does are usually jerky. This is why I like to mostly fly my shots manually or program waypoints, if I got the extra minute (its not like this takes very long). I am not sure about how it is now, but I also do some projects for german broadcasters, who stick to the PAL standard, which means I have to shoot in 50i as my framerate. Since i isnt avaliable on any of these drones the usual procedure is to stick to 50p. At least in the past the quick shots used to be stuck to either 30p or 60p, which obviously wont work for my broadcast customers projects. Technically not even in the NTSC areas because they are at 59.94i, while KZbin is technically any framerate but most prominently either 30p or 60p. Hollywood films are stuck to 23.976p and other cinema projects are stuck to 24p. So if you are extra strict you either rely on interpolating the framerate, which works fine in Adobe Premiere Pro and Davinci Resolve if you have access to the footage as recorded on the card but many broadcast studios rely on a process called "ingesting" since the camera man usually doesnt edit the footage himself but somebody else does in most of these projects. The the process of ingesting it to the studios server it gets converted to 1080i50, 50MBit/s CBR, MPEG-2, 4:2:2 no matter what you recorded. You may have recorded 5.4k@120p. The Ingester will make it 1080i50. Thats why getting slomo on television requires the editor to have access to the source footage - looks better anyway but its just not the way things are usually being done. Another thing that also matters is that many studios still use AVID as their main editing software - which is generally fine because it is ergonomically speaking quicker to edit stuff in it, if you are good at it than premiere, but you will miss out on most effects and it is also rather tricky to work with mixed footage, where one clip is in 50p, the other 60p, some in 4k, other in UHD and other in FHD or whatever, which is why converting everything to 1080i50 is so important to them.

Hello were was the location of this video ? it was absolutely beautiful ...thank you for your time & your videos

[@DMProductions]

shot around Mallorca lovely place

[@davannaleah]

Quick shots are great however, with a mini 2 must be planned and used with care not to crash!

[@AtortAerials]

Quick shots still don't do well so many times too. Then you're farting around getting mediocre shots when you can fly manually and nail it and actually know how to fly.

[@M14UJJ]

Does obstacle avoidance still work during quick shots?

[@Stevan_275]

Does the DJI Mini 5 Pro have any new quickshots? I definitely agree that they should add a few new ones

[@FZDRONEPHOTOGRAPHY]

ssshh dan your giving away my secrets lol

[@donhawkins3461]

I don't normally chime in, but here's my input on quickshots. DJI really needs to add Dolly Zoom to the quickshots menu!!! What do y'all think about that?

[@DMProductions]

Keep chiming in !

[@rfc58]

Have you got the details for the discount code for Motion Array please?

[@ylemort]

the only problem is that we can't film in D.log in these quickshot mode 😢

[@SightsWithSteve]

I used to use quick shots on the mini 3, then it fell out the sky whilst doing one. DJI replaced it no problem but with no explanation, the fact they replaced it so easy, with no questions ( per se ) with no explanation tells me an awful lot. I’ve since had the 3 Pro & now 4 Pro and I refuse to ever use anything except manual flight.

[@DMProductions]

Must of been really unlucky, the air 3 and mini 4 pro with omni sensors works great in Quickshots

[@MegaFr33dom]

I have pretty much forgotten to use them anymore. However, there are times when I want create a reveal shot with my wife and I in the shot and these would be great to use. Thanks for the reminder.

[@DMProductions]

Yes still really useful ! Especially for certain angles

[@_domot0_]

[@Idaho4ever]

Does the obstacle avoidance still work during master shots and quick shots?

[@DMProductions]

Yes ☺️

[@MyViewsOfTheWorld]

I agree Darren, we need new quickshots and such. Mastershots came out and it was great, but we need MORE. However, MY SUGGESTION would be to allow us to create our own quickshots.

[@DMProductions]

This would be cool, master shots is ok but wastes too much battery in my opinion

[@MyViewsOfTheWorld]

@DMProductions I think mastershots was good the first times I used it. Then it is always the same thing so it gets old. Of the quickshots I think I never use the circle anymore. The rocket I use rarely, but the helix and spiral and drone I use often. I think you use them less as you advance in piloting skills. I need more creative shots to keep viewers interested. I have been doing the opposite if rocket, going up with the gimbal aimed up. It looks cool.

[@johnriolo5028]

Well explained 👍

[@kerusso3568]

Great video, quick question, will quick shots work on moving subjects? I haven’t had a chance to try them out yet. Thanks

[@DMProductions]

Nope it’s more for static subjects, you can move slightly but if you move too much it can loose you

Your tips rock! Sometimes little snippets from a quick shot is enough. I would like to see Cable cam where you establish a route and then manually control the drone on preprogrammed path. The Mini 4 Pro is a beast! It’s perfect for travel.

[@DMProductions]

You could do that with waypoints but yes I do hope for some more quickshots

[@halfwayconvos]

Phenomenal video! I learned so much thank you!

[@TheDesign11]

Does the M4P shoot quick shots in DLOG M?

[@DMProductions]

Yes it can

[@romo8547]

Great and informative post as usual. Seeing it reminded me to ask you: is there a stylus I can use on my RC2 controller rather than my clunky fingers. I was out doing some waypoint flying on the weekend and it would have been soooo much less frustrating and easier if I had a stylus. What do you think? I have an Apple Pencil USBC, but this does not seem to work

[@DMProductions]

havent seen one but I'm sure the rubber tip ones should work but def not the apple pencil

[@hummerzdca]

I’ve tried most all of them, and have been very satisfied. Now that I think of it, are there any others that do this? I have a Mini 3, and an Avata 2. This is why my Mini 4 Pro stands alone with me on these awesome features. Now I gotta find some places like you have here! Thanks!

[@DMProductions]

Yeah all the cinematic drones can do this but the air 3, mini 4 pro and Mavic 3 are the best as they have full obstacle avoidance when flying sideways
