DJI Mavic Air Quickshots - How to use them / Tips / Suggestions for DJI

The DJI Mavic Air is an absolutely amazing piece of technology for it's compact size and capabilities. Quickshots was introduced with the DJI Spark and was adopted by the Mavic Pro and Mavic Air. These automated flight mode modes give users the ability to perform complex aerial maneuvers with simple automated controls. In this video, I walk you through all of the quick modes and also talk about some suggestions I would like to see in future software updates.

When you are in "active track" mode, you have the possibility to set the drone circle around you while is tracking and that's how it can circle around you unlimited times.

[@wylandersangcap7120]

Sup bro! Thanks for the Mavic Air Tips! I just got one, gonna practice these flight modes!

[@AldoRyan]

Really enjoyed your video. Thank you for breaking it down and giving us a real time explanation of how to utilize these useful capture modes!

[@InspectAzmi]

Thanks for the tips & info👍👍

[@xpane]

Very informative and interesting videos. Testing this out tomorrow thanks to you.

[@ksleejerry]

2nd time i am watch this clip!! Great job bro!!

[@dadandson7034]

Thanks for this video! It helped me so much .

[@MrA6s4]

Just found your video and it was concise and really good for us "newbies." Some things are less than intuitive in operating these DJI's, but your tutorial answered many questions. Thanks.

[@kevincarter2464]

Thanks for the videos you share with us i have just ordered the Mavic air and i am finding your videos a great help even though they are like two years old i still need the basic info because i am a newbie. Thanks again

[@davidstasinos9668]

I've been a little hesitant to use these new flight modes because I haven't been able to find a good enough explanation of what to watch out for to avoid mishaps. This was the first video I've seen that gave me the info I was looking for. Thanks.

[@richvanhouten8515]

Great videos learned a lot

[@sosteve9113]

Thanks,this was very helpful

[@frednorman1]

Great video!

[@Heli4213]

I like the way you are very specific. Great presentation just subscribed to you.. Thanks a ton

[@marschlionoalexander8498]

Thanks to your Channel, I finally got myself a Mavic Air. It's my very first drone. I saved up for a spark, but then i wanted the mini, and then i finally got the air. Thanks Flypath

[@hirosantiago849]

Awesome Video , Thank You!!!!

[@ronnied13]

Totally agree about a pre-roll, there should be a default option to add a 5 or 10 second tail at the beginning or end of your quickshot

[@markferrell55]

Great Help thanks

[@TheNEOPSYCHO]

great job.help'd me a lot. thank's

[@filamnurseadventure5762]

Great info amazing

[@youdontknowmhie]

Great video! Very helpful.

[@youdontknowmhie]

Hi! Just a newbie here. If I do quickshots, the beginner mode has to be turned off right? I haven’t tried turning off my “beginner mode”.

[@eroggero]

Great tips thanks, Which mode would be best to circle a lighthouse, and would be shooting from a boat. Thanks

[@bvaldes8791]

Great video! 👍👍 it’s amazing what this little drone can do...

[@FlytPath]

Amazing is right

[@GRMK3ZODIAC]

Thumbs up ! Great vid !

[@duytruong5493]

The background music is really nice. Can you pls share the link to get this music? Thanks

[@sharonrichards1706]

Great Video Man, Thanks!

[@FlytPath]

Thanks Sharon

[@vinhha6073]

Sir, I just got my Air, and I really love to have all that shot... your vid very detail and super help... I really enjoy it... once again thank you Sir... and enjoy ... I think first I have to click on begin mode to have all that ...!! I think...

[@jenbertolina]

Thank you for the great video! Question on the landing pad...where did you get the landing pad and is it weighted?

[@dannywhitlock8309]

Hi, Aldryn 👍🏻👊🏻 I’m glad to see you out flying the Mavic Air , you always find cool places to fly your drones 👍🏻 Thanks for showing some awesome footage and demonstration of the capabilities of the Mavic Air !!! Enjoy and have a Great Friday !!! Danny

[@FlytPath]

Thanks Danny I appreciate that.

[@dannywhitlock8309]

FlytPath 👍🏻

[@techndrones8801]

Great video man. Thanks!

[@FlytPath]

No problem!

[@gilgillis2445]

Very good! Thanks.

[@derrickmcdonald7331]

Appreciate the video sir!!! It answered the questions I had about the quickshot modes!!! I’m a new drone owner and was hesitant at the thought of using these modes! NOT NOW! Thanks again!!!

[@FlytPath]

Glad I could help!

[@81tibr]

Again amazing tutorial! Thanks!

[@FlytPath]

Thank you

[@IanL1]

Great video,. Bought a Mavic Air last week and have been wondering how the hell to use all of these.

[@rapaent]

This is by far the best video tutorial I've seen for QuickShots!! I have found that QuickShots and SmartCapture is shot in a 1920 x 1080 frame rate and in Auto mode. I normally shoot everything in 4K manual mode. Are you stuck using 1920 x 1080 and Auto mode or is there a workaround? Thank you for the superb tutorial.....👍😋

[@flyhi2773]

Thanks, I do like your videos. Keep it up.

[@FlytPath]

Thanks Fly Hi

[@Ehsan.Sultani]

You are Awsome thank you for the best lessons

[@christophergoodfellow7204]

A great tutorial in a nutshell!

[@wilmerwynn]

I wish I would have seen this video before my trip to the Maldives... I tried to do a rocket shot on my own... I failed. This is awesome! Thank you for the tips!

[@rapaent]

Thanks again for the awesome tutorial! Is it possible to use the gimbal manually in any of these shots? 😊👍

[@krishnadas5960]

Nice video. So has dji made any formware update on the track loop?

[@dgd32]

How do I select the tracking box?.. great video btw !

[@hm4209]

YOU GOOD.THANKS

[@dvrapant]

It would be cool if they incorporated quick shots and gestures. It would be cool to have different gestures to do the quick shots with a normal setting for distances so you could do more than follow. Maybe that's coming in future updates.

[@PaulSmith-rc1gk]

I would like to know what software you use to edit your movies. Thanks. Great video !!!

[@WeeblerZ18]

Well said!

[@brianofficer1808]

I enjoy watching your tutorials and other vids. You are thorough and concise and stay on subject. So much useful information for someone just starting out and learning his drone. What are you using to record your screen?

[@FlytPath]

Thanks Brian I appreciate that. On the iPad there’s a built in screen record app.

[@jimoday]

Thank you.

[@adamhearts9195]

Good content

[@FlytPath]

Thanks Adam

[@deanjericevic8912]

If you select, Aldryn, say Helix to do 80m or 140m are the video clips that it produces of the same time length; that is the former is slower?

[@mymgb238]

Another good one. question: When going from one Quickshot function to another do you have to go back to normal then enter quickshots again for another function? Keep "em coming!

[@FlytPath]

Rick Dynesius ya from what I saw, I had to exit out and hen go back in.

[@kirkfrisco9460]

how did you get the oval to the left of your DJI map page?

[@cardesigntv]

Is there a longer cable from MicroUSB to Lightning available anywhere, or how did you connect your iPad? With WiFi you wouldn’t need the controller.

[@jomardevera8274]

hey man. how did you connect it to a bigger phones? Do you have the tutorial vid for that?

[@alancookuk8154]

I agree with the continuous loop affect. I want to be able to walk along playing my guitar or just sitting, while the drone flys around me.

[@FlytPath]

Ya it would be cool for sure

[@vinipaines]

Hey man, my app doesnt show the remote icon on the left of the screen, any thoughts?

[@foreverbeer]

Good video, useful tips but it would have been better to see these in action with a dynamic subject. Like the bikers who keep cycling past you to show how well it tracks a moving subject.

[@digi-scopeproductions5761]

Thanks for the informative videos. Why do you hold up your phone each time?

[@FlytPath]

Digi-Scope Productions I’m actually recording more video of the flight using my phone on a gimbal.

[@rck211]

Great vid man!! Do you see the drone hype dying down?? I’ll be honest, I haven’t flown in a month and a half. It just seems like it’s the trendy thing to do right now. I know people that have bought really expensive gear and don’t know how to use it. Their just happy to have the best of the best! It’s like when your NFL team has been garbage for years, then one season they make it to the SuoerBowl and now everyone is a fan!! LOL Keep up the great work man!!

[@FlytPath]

Mostly slow because of no new DJI releases. It's just a tool to add to the arsenal. Reminds me of people who want the best DSLR, then put it in auto mode. Then it sits for two years.

[@SWFBrickbox]

are these available on the mavik mini?

[@carloslarrazabal261]

Can you choose the speed to make it go slowly in the quickshots ?

[@jovayvisionss3887]

Awesome video 🙌🏻👏🏽 but I have a question, why in app screen doesn’t show me the ikon for the new features,?

[@FlytPath]

Which new features?

[@jovayvisionss3887]

FlytPath to get the quick shots mode

[@FlytPath]

Jovayvisionss you have to be up in the air for quickshots to activate.

[@royottaway9434]

Liked and subbed , did I see a ND filter on you MA

[@dronetechie969]

Excellent video third time watching, one quick question; Great area to fly and try quick shot modes. I am in San Diego, what park is it? Thank you again for all your great videos

[@FlytPath]

Black mountain park

[@dronetechie969]

Will be using that park for all my QuickShots. Going to New York in November got authorization to fly around Montauk Points light house, the Hamptons and waiting from NYC on the out skirts of The Statue of Liberty and the entire New York Skyline. Hopefully I can launch from the Brooklyn side

[@bugsbunny6472]

Is there any way to get the drone to keep recording after a shooting mode is performed? IE - I would like to take a dronie but I would like it to record on the way out there and on the way back and still record once it’s comes all the way back. I believe a dronie only records on the way out to the set parameters I hope my question is clear.

[@HandsONreviews4u]

So glad I subcribed to your channel bro! I still didn't buy the AIR yet. I sure do want one. You think there will be a deal this Christmas? Also what do you suggest? , buy from BestBuy store or DJI themselves??? Great explanatory video

[@maddmavic]

Buy used i got brand new one used for one wedding 700 for the full fly more package well worth it

[@KevDenn8]

What lenses do you use on the mavic?

[@tomdoderleindewin8223]

Good lessons. But also foreigners like me look at your videos and for that it would be nice if moments of explaination would take some more time, as we have to understand it as well. We need more time to understand what you say. But for the rest. PERFECT and THANKS

[@tommy7678]

Please tell how to adjust the speef of the Quickshot

[@nikhilsingla12]

Obstacles aviodance is on or off in quickshots?

[@jozannearomin5813]

question my dji 4 for mavic air does not show that remote icon on the left hand corner how to fix it please?

[@hcopter51]

When I select the quick shot icon, the next view does not show me the Boomerang or Asteroid selections....Why not and how do I find these? Thanks

[@pantazopoulosphotography1798]

what if there is NO that small remote icon in the screen ? I have mavic air and this icon used to be there but now it has gone ..... Any Help please ?!

[@lancewhetten4059]

So, you actually can do a continuous loop through the active track mode. You just track yourself and then there is a curved slider at the bottom of the screen and you just slide it in the direction you want the drone to circle you. I just got mine, so maybe this feature didn't exist when you made the video. Haha

[@FlytPath]

Updated in the app if thats the case

[@samcaizza2077]

i keep getting message when i try quickshots saying cannot continue or perform this function while in mp4

[@casscassy9174]

Hi! I don't have that remote icon on the left of my screen. (Mavic Air) how do I het that icon on my screen? Thanks

[@riobravomedia3476]

Me neither

[@pauldeacon5615]

Very good video! what kind of tablet are you using please? 😁

[@FlytPath]

Thanks you. iPad Air 2. And the link to the mount I’m using is in the video description.

[@LaloFlores]

Are the quick shots designed to track human shapes only or could they also track an object like the top of a tower? Thanks.

[@franciscosanz5148]

I am actually interesting on an answer to this question as well...

[@stevegti167]

It seems fairly hit and Miss through my personal experience just today I was trying to do quick shots with a football goal and it worked a couple of times but also on a few occasions it didn't track it and lost it as a subject before the quick shot could begin

[@ayongkot]

i took a quickshot (circle) an object that is a very large decorated christmas tree about 30 meters high and it did circle around it.

[@RideAlongside]

Black Mountain Miners Loop!

[@FlytPath]

Good eye

[@UnknownAFX]

I have no always Opportunity to change distance in these modes when I click on. Any explain ?

[@FlytPath]

Can you elaborate about changing distance

[@RSMUSICGROUP-ub8yx]

Dji mavic pro and dji mavic air which one is best for music video shoot.... Please answer me thanx

[@FlytPath]

Quality is about the same. Jump up to the p4p for higher production value.

[@terryrandle7152]

Hey I tried quick shots but I notice that my drone battery was very hot is this normal could I get you opinion on this

[@dvrapant]

Terry Randle the Mavic Air battery does get fairly hot, make sure you let them get back to room temp before recharging.

[@MrRaychard123]

Can the mavic air quick shot circle able to track while doing bthe circle autmated and the subject/person is walking away?

[@dvrapant]

Raychard Kho as long as you have set yourself as the tracking subject it will yes.

[@terryrandle7152]

I have the mavic air

[@saqibghulamnabi9635]

I have mavic air but i didn't see any option what he ask for distance to me for any drone any other quick shot

[@UnknownAFX]

saqib ghulam nabi have the same oroblem

[@coloradoprofessionalinspec720]

Which tablet holder are you using?

[@FlytPath]

Mavmount.com (use my code flytpath) if you decide to get one and there's a little discount.

[@keyairacarter]

How do you click on the distance I can’t seem to figure that out

[@UnknownAFX]

Keyaira Carter have the same problem

[@barry4967]

When you are IN dronie, click on dronie again.

[@justgowithjojo]

Can I change the fps at 2.7k at 60fps.

[@davidalbertson1535]

What Gimbal are you using?

[@FlytPath]

Zhiyun for mobile

[@swn2266]

Does the max height and distance need to be at a certain setting for the asteriod and helix to work? I had issues not completing the selected quick shot. I noticed I had them set at 30 meters for height and 50 meters for max distance.

[@dvrapant]

sheldon w 30 meters probably is not high enough. The effect looks better the higher you get.

[@mariogayoso]

Does your ipad have celular data or wifi? or are you hotspotting?

[@FlytPath]

Mario Gayoso wifi. You don’t need cellular service to fly.

[@mariogayoso]

@@FlytPath thank you so much. I need to figure out how to hotspot from my phone or if my plan allows me that and that's it

[@FlytPath]

@@mariogayoso You don't need cellular or wifi to fly it. It flys off radio transmission from drone to remote. You iPad or device you use is just display the data coming from the remote.

[@mariogayoso]

@@FlytPath oh I get it now. Is more for GPS. Right?

[@74052]

How do you "cancel " a quickshot? example.... you miscalculate a "circle" shot and realize the drone it going to hit something.???

[@coldeld]

Just move one of the manual control sticks. That automatically takes it out of quick shot mode.
