DJI Air 2s Waypoint Long Exposure Hyperlapse for Beginners 👀

[@xavier_arthur]

Using the ND Filters gives the Hyperlapse a Deep, Dark & Rich Look that's more focused on the streeks/ long exposure! Here are my settings for all the ND filters: 1. ND16 ISO1600. 2sec shutter. 2. ND8 ISO1600. 1Sec shutter. 3. ND32 ISO1600. 3Sec Shutter. Happy Flying 😃

[@alexmarin86am]

Hi Man! You can reach the same result without the filter and with a better image quality. You just have to turn down the ISO to compensate. So probably without ND filter you are good with ISO 400. Reducing the ISO will give you less noise.

[@xavier_arthur]

I've tried it without the filters and it does look good too but everything is bright and not as dark, rich & dramatic. Try both and compare for yourself. However if you're using the raw files, don't use higher than ND4. Thanks for sharing.

[@alexmarin86am]

@@xavier_arthur I will try it out to see it so!!! Many thanks for all the videos you share with us!!

[@KostasGur]

Nice video but I think with ISO 100 you could achieved 2 sec exposure without ND filters kzbin.info/www/bejne/rInFd6p-r7yEnrc

[@klafleh]

Hi, I’ve been following your channel on KZbin, great videos thanks for making them. Where can I find the strobe light you’re using?

[@MykolaDolgalov]

Good video, great channel. A couple of suggestions from a hyperlapse expert: 1) just bring down ISO, don't use the filters. You are increasing graininess of your images for now reason. 2) apply stabilization to your hyperlapse, it's much smoother and more visually pleasing. You are welcome. :-)

[@MoviesSam]

Exactly.

[@DroneFate]

The point of using the nd filters is to increase the shutter speed to show light trails, with the regards to high ISO, it’s possible to easily denoise it in post.

[@danbeanfishing9612]

@@DroneFate there's just no point. You're just deteriorating your images...

[@xavier_arthur]

You can bring down your iso and will definitely look cleaner if that's what you're going for. I'm looking to darken highlights and richen the yellow lights to gold and bring out the lights More. It's a more dramatic look not a clean look. This is art not camera metrics buddy. Happy Flying 😎

[@jameslaws7737]

Love the channel, and love your energy! I do have a problem however. I haven't flown my DJI Air 2s much in the last year, but when I began this spring I noticed that all those cool features were gone. I can't pick a point of interest ans have the drone film it as it circles. To cut to the chase, has something changed with the DJI Fly App? I asked another gentleman who posts Air 2s videos on KZbin and he said that it hasn't, but I fear flying the Air 2s now because the screen doesn't look the way it used to, even after I've done upgrades. I would appreciate any feedback you have. Kind Regards. 😊

[@xavier_arthur]

Nothing has changed, nothing's been taken away, more features have been added over time, you must make sure your drone is completely up to date, your controller is completely up to date and your DJI fly app is completely up to date to access all of the features. Happy Flying 😎

In the ND32 example there were two streaks in the sky around 18:12. They seemed to follow the same path. Do you know what they were?

Probably a jet.

Can the Mavic Mini 2 with ND get that car streak look? Amazing WORK!!!!

[@xavier_arthur]

Mini 2 without a filter will work!

[@888berg]

droneXfactor love your quick response!!! Is that because the sensor is smaller? I just picked up a mini 2 and really want to try nail these Hyperlapses :)))

[@xavier_arthur]

Correct, also be sure to go somewhere very bright at night to get the best results. Lastly, you will need to set the pictures on a 2 second timer and stitch them together yourself in a editing program because mini 2 does not have a hyperlapse feature. ☹️

[@888berg]

droneXfactor will do! I’ll post up a link if I get it nailed :) please keep up the great work

[@PBTfpv]

Love this but have a question. Why would you use an ND 16 filter and shoot at 1600 iso when you could shoot at 100 iso and not use any filter? In theory you’d get less grain and better color since you wouldn’t be pushing the sensor as hard and you’d get the same slow exposure.

[@xavier_arthur]

Shooting without a filter at ISO 100 brightens up the road and the surroundings, I'm going for more of a dramatic feel where everything is dark except the cars streaking on the highway. A good compromise would be ND4 with ISO 400 Maybe to get the same results but I'm not sure. Thanks for sharing Happy Flying 😁

Hi DroneXfactor : I am quite new to this hobby. Can you tell me please, should I go for Mavic 2 pro or the Air 2 S. I prefer the mavic 2 pro purely because it seems to be more stable in the air. What are your thoughts? I am not loaded so I want to buy one and stay with it. The smaller Mini ones are not stable in windy conditions and I don't like that. Please advise.

If you can afford it Mavic 3 💪 If not A2s, any wind where I can Fly mavic 2, I can also fly A2s💪

I seen it where the footage and be run through 'something' two and three times to smooth out the jitters.

[@VANDrone]

Hi X. Fantastic tutorial. I know it is an old video, but there is something new in Fly app that I am not finding anywhere. I am not able to use Reverse Sequence on Hyperlapse Waypoints any more. Now it is showing Selfie as option. Am I doing something wrong? What is this Selfie option for?

[@gdh613]

Great video. While I'm not a Hyperlapse "expert," I am a professional photographer and understand and totally agree with you on the use of the ND filters and your end product proves your point. Good job!

[@robwasnj]

Very nice planning. The only thing I don't understand is raising up the ISO so high and using a strong ND filter. The length of the exposure is going to give you the streaked headlights so 2 seconds, 3 seconds or whatever. You can get there the same way using ISO 100 and a less strong ND filter. I found personally I get about 1/2 second exposures at ISO 100 without really blowing out highlights at night so to get to 2 seconds you'd need a 2 stop ND filter. Something not discussed but perhaps to keep it simple are weather conditions, most notably wind can really make using these long exposures impossible. In a light wind I find 1/5 sec is about what I can get away with but on a really still night you can push to 2 seconds sometimes.
