DJI MAVIC AIR / 10 TIPS FOR CINEMATIC FOOTAGE

[@tommieroux]

10 tips for cinematic video, but none of those tips included probably the most important factor : the frame rate to shutter speed ratio (180° rule, shutter speed 2x more than frame rate) and the use of ND Filters to achieve the right shutter speed in bright conditions.

[@loneultimate1328]

tommieroux could you elaborate on those rules ?

[@trav4oilers]

This was an absolutely incredible tip video. great shit

[@Piercinellino]

Tip n. 10. Don't buy the DJI Pocket, use the Mavic Air!

[@machbauer132]

Thank you for your tips! But I'm wondering why haven't mention the exp and sensitivity settings for better controls, or even ND Filters....

[@CezarsDroningTime]

Great tips and tricks my friend. I already started to use some of this in my videos and it really changes a lot. Now my footage is crisp and clear. Thank you for sharing with us. Cheers and have a perfect weekend.

[@3vimages471]

Stop trying too hard dude ….. if you have information, footage and examples just present them; people aren't looking for you to be entertaining.

[@PPVlogs1]

Tip 10 is my Fav

[@Haroratech]

Awesome video thanks But when tried to download luts getting Website Expired

[@technochow]

[@ChadCawleyYT]

Does your phone matter to get smooth footage or nah? Cause I use a 2015 phone with DJI mavic air lol

[@rocheuro]

Maaan I missed you really enjoyed your videos. Hope to see you more often! really good and positive feel on your vids.!

[@martinmirinsky9179]

Would Mavic Air connect with phone Blackview BV6000?

[@uroshnou3847]

Am I the only one or other then the missing cinematic and settings stuff he is not talking about. That this luts are not even close to being called cinematic

[@adadsadventures9816]

As usual, great footage! I wish i had more time to fly so that can could practice with my Spark haha.

[@johnsummer1178]

Stop with the hand swipe gestures,looks kinda....desperate cool

[@viceroy7792]

Very, very nice tips. Excellent! Thank you!

[@jacquesdemolay2699]

Thx Bro!

[@luiz.angelo.peixoto]

Great Tips man! You should do more videos like this with tips. And also some with tutorials on how to apply different settings 👌🏻

[@luisalbertocortes1643]

Perfect orientación 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆👍🏼🦅

[@tiagoarnaudyt]

Hi! Can you control the exposer and shutter speed while you are recording video? Thanks

[@hemo1985]

Liked so much your video. About slo-mo... So you think 1080 120 fps has a good quality in this Mavic Air? Even editing and playing the final video in 1080 differences in image quality with 4K or 2.8K are obvious... It seems to me 1080 120 is not a really FULL HD. I may be wrong. Thank you! Anyway, you just work in 4K and you change to 1080 just in case you are looking for slo-mo? Or you work always in 1080 120?

[@faridabdulbaki4286]

Best movie ever thanks for sharing ❤

[@ChadCawleyYT]

Im going to start using your hand swiping for my next scenes now instead of palming my camera lol I like that 👌🏻😂

[@FrancisDarracott]

YES CHAD!!

[@Ultimartinum]

If i care about my countrys regulation i can fly on an empty field. Should start a new KZbin channel. Different perspectives of fields with a drone. Crush everything with that ;-)

[@keatonditchfield8437]

I've now watched this video 6 times. You are really brilliant at creating beautiful footage as well as explaining things in a way that makes it really easy to understand

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thank you so much man!

[@kaerachannel84]

Great tutorial 👍👍.

[@jarisipilainen3875]

you will get slow-mo flying slower lol

[@DutchNomadFamily]

Great great tips. The hand held drone tip is perfect and smart. And start using the ‘d-log’ color setting. Thanks! Subbed and follow you along.

[@Dinos0001]

3:06 have in mind that as with all cameras, shooting at higher fps makes the bitrate go down so the image quality is not as good. At 120fps 1080p the image quality is not very nice, it looks like it's not even 720p. So have that in mind so you are not disappointed when you see the footage after on your computer and you didn't get that perfect detail of the scenery. I'd prefer 2,7 60fps and slow it down to 24fps in post to get better image quality.

[@aceqman]

4:42 - could you let me know which tree you mean?

[@harrysbushcrat]

Thanks for the great 10 tips. I totally agree with many of those and found some new idea. I really impress and respect your final bonus tip at the end. I'll subscribe your activities. Please keep it up.

[@alfiesadler1455]

Are the luts only for Premiere Pro?

[@notwrkn2mch]

Great Tips......... Thanx :)

[@SkyViewAerialProductions]

Hi Mr.Darracott, I love all of your videos! I am a proud owner of a Spark and a Phantom four. I use Final Cut Pro Ten to edit my videos. I am trying to grow my KZbin channel. How does your Spark footage look so crisp and sharp? I like how you are such a drone enthusiast like me!

[@stevecraig9384]

Great information thanks

[@4WheelingInNSW]

Thanks man, awesome stuff ... I’ve just bought a Mavic Air and can not wait to get it up in the air and see what I can do. Beautiful work mate, well done 👍 and thanks for taking the time to help others achieve great work. You’re a star ⭐️ 👍👍🇦🇺

[@papuainsects8208]

Hi Francis, i'm from Bali. Next week i would like to buy between mavic pro/spark/mavic air, which one are better for cinematic footage? Also can you share your setting for your mavic air. Terima Kasih/Thanks.

[@markferrell2470]

2 tips for you #1. Better get that controller charged using it when the last light blinking not good. #2. Taking pictures of some ladies back end while their walking is against the law in America mate. Fly Safe. This comment is only for a laugh

[@FrancisDarracott]

Mark Ferrell that lady is my fiancée. Haha

[@Xplicit_fpv]

Really helpful

[@venesaloginathin8832]

Thank you for this

[@CollosalTrollge]

Hey hi Francis, is the Mavic Air still worth the buy today or the next 2-3 months? I am looking around and wish to buy this in December-February.... I was going to go Pro1 or Pro2 but ...deciding Air

[@CommandarColls]

Those shots, were they from Raglan/Bridal veil falls NZ??? I swear I recognized them!

[@DOZSAZOLIKA]

Hi! 0:00 sound name?

[@2cool0]

lol dude thank you! Finally some actual USEFUL tips. all these other videos just giving some basic ass tips and stuff for cinematic videos.

[@droner4300]

Super dron bzzzzbzzzzz:)

[@dennispearman5890]

great video man thinking of getting a DJI Mavic Air.

[@FrancisDarracott]

It's a great drone

[@moea.9333]

how come he isnt adjusting the shutter to 2x the fps??

[@Carphi2000]

While this is a rule of thumb for DSLRs it doesn't seem to apply to drones. You cant change the aparture, so usually a shutter on 60 will overexpose your image completely.

[@kenv2086]

Hi Francis, how come my mavic air has only normal option and no D cinelike? do i need to upgrade any firmware? Thanks

[@timwilde4200]

Anyone have any knowledge of what kind of altitude this unit will function at? I was thinking of taking one on a trek through Nepal where I'll get up to 5200 meter along the way. I know of one guy who posted clips from that particular pass with an older DJI Phantom.

[@JayDollarhide]

Proper job, mate...lol. I am from the US and have been following you for a while. Great video, love it, and can't wait to take the plunge and buy a drone. I am storing all this up for my retirement, all your information and tips. Thank you for all you do!

[@droneready8278]

Very nice tips bro

[@vanessaviegas5457]

Soooo cool! Thanks!!

[@rogerdvorak3582]

Hi Francis, Is there any benefit of using a polarized filter all the time on an DJI Marvic Air... Thanks rog

[@dpvue]

I was surprised that you did not recommend ND/PLC filters. You do not use them?

[@weerobot]

Use a Human...lol

[@ZENxTENinc]

When your on the EXP screen actually move the joystick and you will see how making the changes impacts the joystick.. the dot will move and follow the line and you will see / feel how much movement you have to do in order for dot to start moving.. super handy to see it while you test the movements.. also helps you see which of the 3 is adjusting what for sure..

[@erhvervs-portrt-ogbryllups7117]

Simply love your way to provide great informations to us all.... and this video were great for me, keep up the good work, I just Subscribe your channel... THANKS!

[@marissamagaw7044]

OH MY GOSH thank you for these tips! Swear I've watched every possible video on the Mavic Air, FINALLY here is one I can really learn something from. I can't wait for the sun to come up now!!!!

[@mrdarcy5267]

Yes 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 man I’ve got lots to learn ! I picked up my first drone today. My brain is cooked.

[@mtoner1971]

Just bought a spark and watched a lot of you're videos you do some fantastic stuff. Hopefully see another spark vid soon.

[@chrispalffy3511]

I recognise my country, thanks for sharing your tips Francis. Love the sideways shots. Very cool

[@ykofficial4802]

Your are doing great and energetic speaking and vlogs. Very good job bro best off luck

[@marcwouters6629]

Great Guy :-)

[@FrancisDarracott]

Thank you Marc

[@MacBaerFFM]

Thanks for this both enjoyable and valuable video, just the right time before I stumble into the common newbie errors. Going to lower the gimbal speed first and stop relying on auto. Will probably get me a set of filters, too. Greetings from a Mavic Air newbie.

[@sts123]

I actually liked tip #10. Never thought of it but its a great tip. Cant imagine how many great shots I can get using this as a handheld gimbal

[@NowyKurs]

Thanks Francis. Keep posting good work, and have a good time with your travel guys.

[@bobbrown8661]

So what you're saying is, flying in sports mode with the gimbal in FPV mode is no good? 😜

[@curtisbooth123]

brilliant video he does sound like the guy stuck in the cupboard on I.T crowd though

[@LENSAAZMISHARIF]

Very helpful tips.. will try them. Thanks for sharing ..

[@bikoncy]

cheers bro👍

[@nickdegreef3711]

So yeah, but yeah + some random ass hand gestures

[@FrancisDarracott]

soooo yeah

[@limbuthezwarior]

Thank You

[@m3bfx]

Hi Francis, 0.02 and 4:24 shows a wobbly horizon, not flat. I have an issue with my air where the horizon dips in the middle.have you noticed this ??

[@corysturgill4488]

Proper Job

[@symmetryofzero]

Thanks for this. I just upgraded from the Spark. So excited to get to work!

[@IR240474]

Just got one yesterday!! Thanks for this... BTW - How did you get the phone screen view on the pc?

[@lizfigueroa5580]

Thumbs up! Love the music, video. Thanks for sharing!

[@brianbracherphotography]

Love your videos, they have really helped me, so thank you 🙏🏻 I have a Question regarding video size on Mavic Air. At the moment I am still learning so have stuck to 1080 HD @30 FPS. I as about to start using 4K but you say you shoot 1080 HD @120 FPS. Is this your standard setting or do you vary? The quality of your videos always look so good 😊

[@andrewhinds6560]

Having a plan is so important. I am new to this and wasted a lot of time with my Mavic Air in Ireland with all the flying around at random with jerky turns. Most of my footage is basically unusable.

[@sharonannephotography-wedd1303]

Cool Francis, thanks so much for the tips. Fab film footage.

[@PB-ux5zi]

Great video as usual, thanks for uploading! What was the first music track you used?

[@Mickymauserius]

You have so many LUTs on your page, which are the one you mentioned in the video?

[@dennispearman5890]

Thanks for the reply , keep up the good work , I only been flying for two years, man you have so much land to pick from.
