I love my Mavic Air 2 so much my Zino and Mavic Pro are gathering dust😱🤣

[@libaax46]

Just got mine a couple of days ago, and I’m very much in love with it 😎☀️🇩🇰🎉

[@12ozMousee]

can ask for advice, or maybe other drone owners will know whats going on? I am trying to record video in 4k at 30 fps with shutter at 1/60 and wb at 5500k.... The exposure it wayyyy too much/ wayyyy too bright and washed out but i already have my iso down at 100. any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

[@DroneSupremacy]

@@12ozMousee That's perfectly normal, you need to counter that extra amount of light by using ND filters! Look them up and see what they do.

[@RGMGFitness]

Nice shots Mike...just gotta watch those power lines at 0:56. Those pesky things are everywhere..👍👍👍

[@yairc]

of course i gonna subscribe..the info are easy to understand..thanks for the video.

[@ivanbridgens9436]

Great info thanks

[@artifect8376]

Awesome videos, very informative.

[@intergerorelab9916]

thank you so much. it is very useful for me

[@deckerladouceur593]

Dude... really appreciate these kinds of tutorials. I just purchased my MA2 and for the most part have pretty good stick control (spent 1 month using a simulator online before purchasing). Being in the downtown core of Toronto... you have to drive a good 45 min. minimum to be able to fly the drone, but it's been worth it so far. I have a 15,000 sq. ft. indoor facility that i have been able to practice. by spring, i should be pretty solid on the sticks. thanks again for all the tips.

[@alexkrasteff4061]

Hey, Mike, what are yours advanced gimbal settings preferences? Would love to see a video on that subject + advance fly moves tutorial with the updated air 2

[@socaldronist_619]

Thanks for the video Mike.I just got mine a few days ago. I only few it once and I love this drone. I upgraded from the Spark so trying to get familiar with this one and where everything is. I love how much quieter this is compared to my Spark. Enjoy your channel.

[@rav3552]

I wonder when/if DJI will add gimbal speed settings to the MA2. I also miss having EXP settings. It would be great if they added those features to the DJI Fly app.

[@dominikkulpa4719]

Yes, that's so bad that it isn't here since launch...

[@FerfuF1957]

Very nice and clear video. Thank you for sharing your skills!!!

Thanks, so good and useful.

Great review Mike

Very helpful, thanks!

Fabulous. Exactly i was looking for.

[@bikooig]

Thank you Mike for the valuable info

[@EdwardAkop]

You're videos are amazing and very helpful! Thank you so much!

[@JaniceinHolyland]

Thanks.

[@Thatkaguruguy]

Good tip for White balance, never thought of it at all 😃

[@MaximumDiver]

Very cool tips again Mike! Thanks for sharing! Continue flying and stay safe! :)

[@jmihelsonaerial]

Very good video as always! Love your content Mike 👌

[@markariuskrismade7362]

what about gimbal setting ? they said we cant slow down gimbal mobement?

[@dronefilmsar5605]

Muy buen video. Saludos 👍

[@mizrahman4673]

Fantastic video!!!!! Really needed this. So would you say if the video is looking over or under exposed, you should play around with the ISO first before adhusting the shutter speed? Becahse the ideal is to obviously have the 180 degree rule?

[@DroneSupremacy]

Really depends on the situation, actually most times I’d first adjust my shutter, but in some situations you really need the 180 shutter rule so the iso could be adjusted too

[@mizrahman4673]

@@DroneSupremacy thanks so much

[@lakaiinhd]

I so needed this video! Thanks Mike! I’m looking forward to getting the Mavic Air 2. It’s coming in tomorrow! I still have my FPV drone too! I need to seriously fly again!😭

[@DroneSupremacy]

Oh dude! I'm glad to hear this, you're back in the drone world! Please don't lose this one lol Hit my DMs and let me know if you need any help bro! 🙌🏼

[@lakaiinhd]

Drone Supremacy Lol I’ll be more safe with this one! Thanks!

[@akshaymantage8759]

Such a valuable video 🌟🌟

[@Dardjiskien]

Excellent 👌

[@dulcedominguez9495]

I notice im getting a lot of noise especially in the shadow area. I shot it at 4k 30 fps, 100 iso. Is this common...?

[@fergnjude]

Another informative tutorial, thank you.

[@connerrodriquez8092]

Thank you for sharing your skill and can you do a video between phantom 3 pro vs air 2

[@DroneSupremacy]

Unfortunately I don't have a Phantom 3 Pro but I can tell you as a newer piece of tech the Air2 is much much more advanced.

[@libaax46]

Great video again! love your tutorials Mike. Always usefull information to get here, you are making it easy to understand 🤗 BIG 👍🏼 for you...

[@simonecena9252]

Great video! Quality content, synthetic and interesting! For me you are now a point of reference! Grazie! :)

[@alvinnyemah7140]

Do you have gimbal overload issues when using the ND/PL filter?

[@DroneSupremacy]

No - If you install it properly (and the drone is off when you're installing the filter) you shouldn't have any issues!

[@alvinnyemah7140]

@@DroneSupremacy what is the proper way?

[@mizrahman4673]

One more question haha I don't know if this is possible lol but if you have set the 180 shutter rule + iso 100 and you're happy with the exposure as it is, is there a need to add an ND filter on? Surely you would be to achieve what you need without having to add an ND in this case? Pls correct me if i am wrong - im just learning

[@DroneSupremacy]

You're exactly right! NDs are only needed when you can't achieve the 180 degree rule naturally :) If the light allows it - don't use a filter!

[@alexandre25945]

Can you achieve professional footage without nd filters?

[@slamboy66]

Turn down the throw on your slicks, it will smooth out the video. For just video on mine, I reduce all by 50% unless windy then 35%.

[@Pursnikity_20022]

Strange, my controller doesn’t have tripod mode, as well as only having a 4:3 option on the camera settings

[@idarabassey9628]

why do you set your return to home set at 50m instead of 30m?

[@DroneSupremacy]

Sometimes there are obstacles that are really high (like a tree, powerline etc.) and you might hit them on the way back if you set it to 30. 50 is just for a peace of mind.

[@idarabassey9628]

@@DroneSupremacy oh okay, thank you.

[@voidvile4190]

Damm, I was like damm he a real one he has luts for free then I saw the cost :,(, was about to subscribe.

[@calebowens8955]

D-cinelike has given me nothing but high noise footage. I don't know if it's my drone or what. Anybody else have that issue?

[@cigarnationwarriors3981]

I’m still working at being smoother on the sticks - difficult when you’re an old fart🤣

[@ScullBayProductions]

Use Tripod mode.

[@mrdrone946]

Pinch the sticks instead of using your thumbs

[@Empirefilmzentertainment]

why does it look smudgy though?

[@ПавелРангелов-б2н]

Good one... careful with that wide angle :O :P

[@jon_collins]

Using D-Cinelike you will lose a lot of dynamic range on an 8-bit camera, more noise - check it out.

[@ptr250]

I've been involved in photography/videography for almost 60 years. I've been watching a variety of these videos and there seems to be a lack of understanding on how to use the iris in setting your exposure. Iris isn't even mentioned in this video. However, manipulating the exposure by adjusting the shutter speed, iso or using an ND filter is mentioned. Adjusting the iris is the only method of adjusting the exposure without affecting the image quality. In truth at ISO 100 most outdoor full sun conditions should be handled with a 1/60 F16 or F22 setting. ND filters should only be used as a last resort. Why cover the glass of your expensive prime lens with a inferior piece of glass or plastic?

[@cervellimatteo]

He footage of my magic air 2 is very noisy and grainy in any situations

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

Every video Ive taken has been so noisy its unusable. Im guessing either I got a defective model or that my standards too high.

[@IslaVision3]

👏👏👏🤘😘

[@cigarnationwarriors3981]

Why don’t you shoot 4K at 24 FPS? I want to learn. Thank you.

[@DroneSupremacy]

I just find it way smoother and especially for drone shots I prefer 30fps

[@cigarnationwarriors3981]

Drone Supremacy thanks👍👍

[@billmuertos]

@@DroneSupremacy Yes but if you're mixing footage with handheld 24fps footage then what?

[@jombanie]

Still didn't reply of my several comments on your previous videos... just wanned an advice..

[@DroneSupremacy]

I get tons of comments and it's impossible to answer all of them, sometimes it's easy to miss a question. DM me on Instagram and I'll help :)

[@saibibtughmoobcalifornia]

not sure why my videos are grainy....

[@RADERFPV]

Such a great drone, tied to such a crappy app. DJY Fly just needs to go away.
