Thumbs up for the Mavic Air, what a fantastic piece of equipment! :) OFF to Barcelona tomorrow, so no videos for a couple of days, but I'll see you on my Instagram stories (@DroneSupremacy) :) Take it easy guys!

[@dronereviewman9580]

Drone Supremacy. Hope you have a safe trip!!!

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks buddy, much appreciated! :)

[@stoabau_0845]

Is the obstical Detection activated when i use the active track Mode. (Dji mavic air).

[@SpicyYams]

What song was that?

[@vegasvideoguy]

Mike, hats off to you for your editing, syncing sound and video. Very well done.

Thanks for the info. Great shots btw

[@rocheuro]

2:43 - that flyby near the power lines was a proper hardcore ;D! lol

[@PernellDD]

Awesome videos as always! I can't wait to start testing all this tips and settings with my mavic air. Thanks a lot!!!

[@DroneSupremacy]

My pleasure dude!

[@NickthaGeek]

Great visuals with a wicked soundtrack.

[@GoTravelOnTheCheap]

We loved visiting Tsarevets Fortress in Veliko Tarnovo Bulgaria. Thanks for helping with setting my video settings on my Mavic Air.

[@ohhreally92]

Just bought my first drone and i'm very glad this was the first video i watched! great information mate

[@markgould3465]

VERY CLEAR THANK YOU

[@ThiagoMatosMelo]

Tks for sharing some interesting content, dude. 🤝

[@TylerSarry]

Thanks for making this vid !

[@1bagadonuts849]

Thank You for the perfect combination of information and commentary. Super helpful for someone like me who has the passion, but not all the time to figure it out! Dilly Dilly!

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks so much 🙌🏻

[@ferik.-aerodron1854]

Awesome video - thanks for sharing

[@travelwithashishmishra]

nice ! loved your suggestion

[@millerhuang8878]

love this vid thanks

[@wetookalpha8598]

Great video my friend, very helpful.

[@shaughanask571]

Thanks for the video.. Still working out the best settings.. Trial and error :)

[@rapaent]

Thanks for another great video!! I tried Tripod mode which looked awesome as you mentioned. My only problem is rotation (yaw) movement which seems to be just as fast as in Normal mode. I have the settings turned all the way down but, the yaw seems to be too fast for my liking. Even when barely pressing on the stick, I can't get a buttery smooth rotation. I have learned an immense amount from you through your awesome video's! Always looking forward to your next one!! Thank you, Ray

[@kuyapeng9210]

Thank you for the tips bro👏🙌🏻❤️✌️

[@DroneSupremacy]

My pleasure 😊

[@quadcopterfundownunder6566]

[@norgerichard]

Thx for the video

[@EuropeanDiarybySiyadRawther]

Thank you bro

[@fabianpetrescu]

Thank you for the great tips! Will the nd4,8 and 16 be enough for sunny days? How about the nd32 and nd64 for videos? Thank you ao much!

[@myszano1]

great info

[@dronereviewman9580]

GREAT CHANNEL & HAPPT FATHERS DAY!!

[@auscurrymaster]

Great video! I am gradually moving to manual-only flying on my Mavic Air. One thing I struggle with is the need to change the settings "on the fly" (no pun intended) with variable lighting conditions whilst still trying to always adopt the 180 degrees rule. I guess the best thing is to use the appropriate ND filter and adopt a setting for the brightest condition, and then tweaking ISO when entering a dark scene to maintain 180 degrees. Does that sound right?

[@DeepankarDetrox]

This was damn helpful

[@JudeFilmdez]

do you use slow motion on your video or speed ramps. If so, How do you keep it smooth with shooting on 24fps with 50shutterspeed

[@TheAngelinapaul]

Hi From Pakistan This is great video tutorial for me. very helpful thankyou

[@DroneUpp]

Not only do you find some of the most amazing places to fly, your skills are incredible! I keep watching your videos because I can learn so much from listening to you and watching you fly. Seems like the Mavic Pro 2 is the big news these days but I am so in love with my Mavic Air. It is such an amazing device and my only wish is that they find a way to extend the flight time perhaps with a better battery. The 15 minutes of the said 21 minute capability goes so fast when you are up in the air. Please DJI, get us a better battery for the Mavic Air! Thanks again DS!

[@fattahghani9603]

The best option for now is to get more batteries...

[@DjiLover]

2:44 I loved this!

[@CamzWorld]

2:10 that roll doeeee. did you use the Badass transition pack for that?

[@bryanball7743]

Very informative

[@doktordanrotalar9527]

Cool shots Which program do you use to edit videos ?

[@derrickkay]

Thanks buddy this video was really helpful. i wish i looked at this before i went on my first flight gosh :-( subbed

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks Derrick and welcome aboard :)

[@gaetanosicilia4441]

2:44 😲😲😲!!!👏👏👏👏👏😉💪😎TOP

[@jessieN1223]

You almost caught the power line there! We have the same drone! I love my Mavic Air!

[@DroneSupremacy]

It was honestly something that I only saw when I started editing the video, i didn't see how close i was when i was flying lol. It was a day full of luck! :D

[@mamumugon19]

Hi. Where do i click to change settings to tripod and cinematic mode? Thanks for sharing your settings.

[@droneaerialexpediters4105]

Very solid video!

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thank you :)

[@fontainemccullough]

Sick edit my dude

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks bro!

[@ZENxTENinc]

noiceee... I do like my air.. just did the new update.. hmmm.. hope nothing breaks.. :)

[@stevecamplin2938]

very good ...

[@sweet_it_is]

Hi i have a question... on 3:45 of your video... how can u take a photo of that shot? can i use the quickshots to take a photo?

[@SeanE]

thx u!

[@hotjesssica954]

Hey hun is yours the one or the 2 I was wondering if there are big and more optimal beneficial differences on the 2 in comparison with the magic air 1 model , Bring the the price difference is almost double lol. Looking to buy me a Mavic air soon 😘

[@pratikakaprillex]

thanks to using this ill solve many problems afte watching ur videos

[@SEPK09]

Hi great videos, Quick Question at 5:45 the display shows configuration 1,2,3, I cant seem that on mind is there something I have to set to get those configurations?? cheers.

[@andreypanasenko9339]

Круто! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MADKIWI]

Tello are a fantastic tiny drone...

[@stoabau_0845]

Is the obstical Detection activated when i use the active track Mode. (Dji mavic air).

[@tysonledbetter1548]

Are you able to just go and film over fields like that I’m just curious I’m new to drone flying?

[@JaHm3sZ]

What program for you use to color grade the drone shots?

[@pavanchilukuri]

Love the 180 degree rule!

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

great video..love how you slowly explain stuff for us new flyers.. I have had my drone for almost a year but have not tried manual mode and I am going on vacation in to weeks and want to film the waterfalls and the mountains. What ND filter would you recommend. I will be shooting mostly in the very early morning for sunrise shots and later for sunsets but also some afternoon shoots over the lake as we go boating.

[@DroneSupremacy]

ND16 or 32 would work best for what you need! Have fun and enjoy your vacation :)

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

@@DroneSupremacy Thank you

[@gordroberts53]

excellent tutorial! Like and sub for you today.

[@msabri4web]

Please what the best way to record a horizontal 180 degree video of the beach from one side in a cinematic mode?

Amazing 👍

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thank you! Cheers!

I saved all details 👍

[@Mendozallopis]

Nice video!! How did you do the transition effect from 3:20 to 3:22?

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks! It's called the "Luma transition" and it's a free plugin that you can use for Final Cut Pro X

[@AndersonPedroza]

Hi! Thank you for your great content! Can you help me? I am experiecing some noise in the shadows with my DJI MA! Do you have/ had the same experience with this drone? What can I do to reduce this noise in videos?

[@melindakeown7500]

Me too.

[@therealjimmy5411]

If you are using tripod and cinematic why make the gimbal adjustments in the advanced menu? Do those modes not have an effect on gimbal movement? Or are cinematic and tripod only for drone body movements?

[@mizerogilbert]

Which music are you using for your video at the begining ?

[@Chillersmrce]

well done you just need to show how to get to the setting, not just BAM!!!! your there other than that 9 out of 10 very informative

[@searchmedude]

I am like you, I like to slow it D O W n. Thanks for the tuturial

[@seogorillas3844]

You should show us the cinematic mode , you did for tripod mode, just curious to see the difference.

[@geoffzz]

Hi any thoughts on genuine DJI ND filters?

[@staso5352]

Здравей, от 1 седмица имам mavic air и все още се уча. Наистина полезно видео, а случайно да си имаш представа дали мога да изключа зареждането от дистанционното към телефона? Благодаря предварително:))

[@arashpahlevani1377]

👍👍

[@GStrauss]

great video, do you have these LUTs you mentioned?

[@DroneSupremacy]

Not yet, i'm working on them to make them perfect :)

[@ayamiatv3543]

Sir how to fix lag video of my mavic air photage , bevause everytiime i took video and do some paning movement then the video is suddenly lag i can avoid it but i just need to make slowly moving

[@mantaspaulekas2908]

thanks for the tips. good video, looks good just autofocus messing around, i'm sure you will fix it next time

[@romantashevRT]

Greetings from Bulgaria:)

[@DroneSupremacy]

Поздрави и от мен 🙌🏼

[@mukisaenock6583]

Hello am Enock from Uganda 🇺🇬 ,I have my mavic air but I haven't yet mastered it

[@FamilyofTech]

What do you use for your thumbnails.? What program

[@DroneSupremacy]

Adobe Photoshop :)

[@shayyanmalik]

Hey! Great video! 180 degree rule is something else though. It's about keeping your subject in a 180'' angle frame and not move your camera on the other side. I get what you're saying though about doubling the shutter speed against fps.

[@shayyanmalik]

Dieter Knüttel Isnt Axis jump also called 180-degree rule?

[@DatuDieter]

Shayyan Malik No, the 180 degree rule is about the shutter speed being twice the number of the frame rate. Have a look at the link I provided above.

[@user-z.zlatev1]

Здравейте! Страхотно видео! Може ли да ми кажете на каква честота е настроен вашия дрон Mavic Air ? Имам същия, но обхвата е много нестабилен. Моят е настроен на 2.4 GHz по скалата на 10. Коя е най-добрата настройка според вас, за да мога да изминавам по-дълги разстояния с дрона? Благодаря Ви!

[@DroneSupremacy]

Здравейте! Препоръчително е да оставите дрона сам да избира честотата - има избор между 2.4 и 5.8gHz, като в зависимост от условията дрона ще подбере по-силната честота в която ще работи по-добре.

[@TheExter11]

Hello and thank you for your channel, I really like your presentation and videos, it is really to understand for someone with no big experience flying the drone. I wanted to ask you about your settings recommendations where you suggest a shooting at iso 100 and Shutter at twice as bigger as your frames per seconds... anytime I do that I have all picture EXTREMELY bright, so I am not sure may be I do something wrong. My standard setting at a sunny day are iso 100 Shutter at 1250. and FPS 30/60. while yours are at 50 when you shooting at FPS of 24. Thank you

[@DroneSupremacy]

No that’s exactly how it should be :) but to counter the extremely bright image you need to use an ND filter which will act as sunglasses for you camera. Check out some of my videos about Nd filters and you’ll see what I mean :) good luck!

[@dimitrarose694]

Hello,I just saw your video but I can't find out shutter settings you propose. All I get is from 6" to 1/8000 I think.Can you help how to find it out? Thanks

[@DronieUp]

Hey Mike, can you recommend using these settings, especially the gimbal settings, on the Mavic Pro?

[@DroneSupremacy]

Yes, they are valid for other devices as well!

[@DronieUp]

Drone Supremacy Thank mate. Keep up the great work!!

[@ronhdez]

Hi! Amazing video... I have a question, why the shutter speed in my drone doesn't have so many options as yours I only have like fraction values 1/240, 1/200, 1/160... etc. Is it the same?

[@DroneSupremacy]

Yeah those are the same values! If you go to manual camera settings you should be able to set an even longer shutter speed, such as 1,2 or 3 seconds (for long exposure photos)

[@ronhdez]

Got it! Thank you very much!

[@lilyvlog8228]

Hey Mike, I have a quick question..is there any particular reason why you never see anyone using their prop guards on the mavic air?? Does it affect handling, or interfere with video or photo? Or maybe affect the battery life?? Just wondering, please keep the beautiful footage and shots coming! Sincerely, Gil!

[@DroneSupremacy]

Hey Gil! I think the biggest reason is because the prop guards are mostly for indoor flying or for occasions where you think you might hit something. I personally never see anyone using them outdoors, but if you're just starting out and you want to feel safer - feel free! They could be very helpful if you bump into an obstacle.

[@lilyvlog8228]

Okay so mike, am reluctant to inform you that i have my like new mavic air with the fly more bundle. I purchased off of a good friend. I really wanted the mp2, but my wife want too excited about the 1500 price tag. Anyway i am still super stoked and cant wait for you and everyone else to see my perspective from the sky. P.s. i am going to set up my own KZbin page, I am currently using my daughters. So I will be subscribing to yours again.

[@KostasGur]

nice editing :-)

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks! :)

[@KostasGur]

your welcome, I liked your transitions and their bond with the music

[@DroneSupremacy]

In my opinion that's the biggest importance in an edit - working with the music and make it flow with the video. Really glad you like it!

[@KostasGur]

Sure, this is how usually all of us are making drone shorts, except you are famous enough to have composers writing music especially for you, so you can do what you want and expect from them to comply with the footage by writing the appropriate music... I think this is the Hollywood way :-)

[@rotorfpv4117]

Is it true that video quality at 60fps is blurry, not sharped? When I record on 4k 30fps all is very sharped, full of detail. What do you think, is better use 30fps / 1080p than 60fps?

[@Made_by_Matthew]

I haven't flown mine yet but I'd imagine the camera is doing some sort of pixel binning or line skipping to get the 1080p 60 rather than down sampling the whole sensor. This does reduce the quality. Try 2.7k at 60fps it might be better

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Very nice job, thank you! BTW, the links for both the Freewell filter's are broken!

[@DroneSupremacy]

Thanks for the heads-up, Steve! It seems Freewell has removed some of their products from Amazon, i've fixed it now ;)

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

You're Welcome!

[@FreewellGear]

Hey Mike all the products are still there Amazon just have some updates going so some product may go to dog pages for sometime.

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Freewell Gear Wow, that’s not good for marketing sales.

[@FreewellGear]

Hey Steve, Yes we do understand so we are talking to Amazon they do have changes sometime in their system so all sellers are affected by this activity.

[@SANDERVANDERVEEN_]

How are the drone rules in your country? I see you fly over cities (historic ones), powerlines etc. ? Nice shots though! Still need a lot to learn if I see this ;-)

[@DroneSupremacy]

The rules are pretty much non existent at the moment - it’s up to the pilot to fly safely. Kinda lucky with this for now :)
