It is 2022, been flying for a long time, but I still come back and watch this because I use only one or two techniques every time since when I am on flight, my nerves over runs my mind making me forget the other techniques🤗 Thanks Philip

[@PhillipSkraba]

hahaha, you and me!! I get that all the time, I have to look at my own videos sometimes to remind myself of my own moves 😂

"Do Not Flick Your Stick".... ahhhh, words to live by

[@JoeBoone82]

Some drones do not auto center on the sticks, correct? I guess that would help reduce/remove stick flipping.

Mine just arrived yesterday afternoon! I got the fly more package and everything should be charged up so I can try it out later today. I can’t wait to go kayaking with it!

[@jonathanbrae3622]

(newbie dronie here) About a month & a half with the Mini 2. Still learning the ins'n'outs of the DJI Fly app as well as feeling more and more comfortable with longer, higher & further flights. This video is PERFECT for what i'm searching around for online right now. Basic movements but amazing results. (oh and it was another of your vids that sold me on the 8-pack Freewell filters too). T hanks for the great vids!

[@PhillipSkraba]

Hi Jonathan! I'm glad you're getting to grips with the Mini 2 and the app, as soon as you're comfortable with it, always remember to set RTH height, you'll be fine. Smooth sailing all the way. Never panic, always delicate movements and these moves will be simple. The Freewell pack is lifesaver for me! I use that every single time I'm out! All the best, be careful out there.

[@MonkeySocs]

Awesome tutorial, your techniques made me think of focusing on an object feature and keeping the camera pinpointed on that feature to create the desired shots. You coordinate the drone movement and camera with such precision akin to a fighter pilot with a laser guided bomb. I intend to build those hand / eye coordination skills in my next shots - thank you!

[@PhillipSkraba]

"You coordinate the drone movement and camera with such precision akin to a fighter pilot with a laser guided bomb" haha, oh damn, that's a comment 🔥 Thank You so much! I'm oldschool, I think I overplayed GTA and generally played way too many video games.

Just got a Mavic Pro, (couldn't afford to buy it so built it from new parts in 2020!) Have watched 100's vids on the subject but after 6 days of flying starting to get a feel for the stick & dial sensitivities. Your vid came at just the right time. Awesome content coach, I'm like a sponge here. Subscribed.

No way, that's impressive, building a Mavic Pro! Thank You, I really appreciate that, I do my best. Lots more on its way. Welcome on board.

[@hanoitripper1809]

Built from scratch- Sounds like a task!

[@hanoitripper1809]

Do you have any tips how I can do it ? I also cannot afford the cost 🤣

[@JuicyFruityify]

@@hanoitripper1809 Honestly it wasn't the smartest thing to do. I could have bought a second-hand combo very cheaply but I wouldn't know the crash history therefore the reliability of the unit. Building from new DJI parts did turn out to be quite expensive. There is a point where old, new parts stock starts becoming more expensive because of its rarity. I saw this in the price of the two internal motherboards and the camera. At one point spares were plentiful and cheap but at building in 2020 the model was already 4 years old and prices were starting to creep up. If you can deal with not caring about which parts may be worn out I'd recommend buying a cheap (complete) one off ebay or private sale. If you want to go the build route, AliExpress has all the parts you need with a few odds and ends from ebay. I benefited greatly from the tons of teardown & repair videos on the original from YTube. I don't see so many such videos on the more recent models. Whatever you decide, piloting these things is quite interesting. Good luck. 👍

[@hanoitripper1809]

@@JuicyFruityify thanks for that information. Just wondering, did you ever had issues with Ali-express being fake or scammers when you ordered?

[@AWG4321]

Just got my Mini 2 a few weeks ago. I'm very familiar with drones, but coming from cheaper "toy" ones this is another world entirely! I'm looking forward to getting some great footage and I've been binging your videos a lot to see how I can do it. Keep it up!

[@PhillipSkraba]

You'll love it! It's a fantastic drone, and it really does an excellent job up there! Have fun and be careful Anthony!

[@scsl6797]

Hi Phillip. I found your channel because I bought a mini 2...and I have watched almost all your mini2 videos and some others of you! I am so happy about because you show so many things for a beginner drone flyer like me in a great way. I like your humor and your teaching style, it's so pleasing listening to you and your tips, your videos are so diverting. And I really like all your cinematic videos shot with the mini2 and hope I can also fly so smooth and cinematic someday in future 😉...I am still learning. How do you plan your flights, so that you find the right place to catch all the stunning footage? Do you plan it before with a map? Thank you for your effort and great work you put into your videos, I subscribed after seeing the first one 😊 I am looking for the next videos and please keep up your good work! Greetings

[@davidporter8758]

Great channel and video. That last shot is so tricky but when you get it right ....wow. Thanks for the help mate!!!!!

[@PhillipSkraba]

Thank You David! Last shot takes some work but can look really Hollywood when you nail it.

[@carlvanderweyden9527]

I bought the DJI Mini 2 about a month ago and have really enjoyed flying it. I started watching your KZbin videos today about cinematic footage and absolutely enjoyed it! You have motivated me to be a better drone pilot using smooth control movements. The video portion will come with practice as I have adopted your settings. Again thank you for your expertise and your humour! I look forward to many more videos from you Phillip! Cheers...

[@PhillipSkraba]

Thank You Carl, I'm glad you liked it. The most important part is to keep on flying as much as possible. Keep it slow, keep it smooth, no sudden movements and no course correction, count to 15 whilst holding your shot and you have some great footage.

[@espedale]

Great stuff. Especially that final complicated shot! Thank you for pushing us to up our cinematic game!

[@PhillipSkraba]

That beast wakes me up at night 😂 It's scary AF. It flies just as fast as the Mini 2 but I can put my Sony A7S III on it, or the RED. DJI Matrice 600, what nightmares are made of ☠️

[@ke4uyp]

@@PhillipSkraba I would challenge anyone to get a cinematic look from any drone at 12:00 noon. In my opinion the most important thing to get that "cinematic look" is golden hour lighting. I have seen people with cheap drones with GoPros bolted on with no gimbal achieve a beautiful aerial composure when shot during the golden hour. it's interesting I've watched about 10 of these videos on KZbin in the last couple of weeks talking about this for the mini 2 and no one ever mentions how critically important lighting is to get that look.

[@PhillipSkraba]

@@ke4uyp Actually, sorry to correct you here, every single shot except the 2nd one were shot between 11am and 1pm, but it's winter and the sun is super low here in Poland, so the shadows are quite long. The 2nd shot was done about 20 mins before the sun went down. I've shot a ton of footage at noon, and sure it's a challenge, but it can look fantastic. I do agree however that footage shot when the sun is going down is mind-blowing, but it is possible to get "cinematic" footage at noon, you just have to work it.

[@ke4uyp]

@@PhillipSkraba can you name one major movie that has cinematic aerial views done at 12:00 noon. There may be movies with aerial shots done at noon but they don't look cinematic they just serve the purpose for that particular part of the story of the movie.

[@PhillipSkraba]

@@ke4uyp I'm afraid I don't follow what time cinematographers shoot their drone footage at in specific Hollywood movies, but if I can do it with a tiny Mini 2, I'm sure Hollywood can do it with a Matrice 600. I worked as a fashion and portrait photographer for a long time and I met a lot of people who were scared to shoot at noon because of the bad lighting and scary shadows, I embraced those points and used them to my advantage. I think a good cinematographer, no matter what situation, no matter what time of day, can pull through if he knows how to and deliver a bad ass image. Add to that a colourist who knows what he's doing and you're golden.

[@box.10]

From the comparison with your excellent teaching, I come out as a foot down and away with the drone. I must learn from you. Thats if I ever get up again with my phone problems that is...

@@PhillipSkraba I do it’s so much fun. The only part I’m stress is i don’t want to fly in some restrictions zone that I’m not aware of. so far I’m reading plenty of regulations to make sure I don’t break any rules.

[@PhillipSkraba]

Sure, be considerate, be safe and just general common sense. Nowhere near airports, prisons, motorways etc and you'll be fine. If you fly in a no fly zone by mistake and fly out the drone police won't be after you, so just be aware. Use Airmap and you'll be fine.

[@grenierdave]

VERY much looking forward to trying this out, in the field. Thanks for being methodical about explaining your process while letting us see the footage. I was using my controller along with your explanation so I could practice. Good stuff!

[@PhillipSkraba]

Fantastic Dave! It's all about feeling it out, don't even look at the controller, go out there and feel it 🤟🏻

[@grenierdave]

@@PhillipSkraba Thanks, dude. I'm stuck inside since I'm in the middle of winter and am right next to an airport (so I can't go anywhere close by to pop the drone in the air). For all your console gamers out there, I found it even easier once I switched over to Mode 3 since that's closer to gaming controls. Keep up your awesome work! :D

Man, you are the best! Thanks for the great video, your explanations are nice and funny. It is a joy to watch you. Keep it up. Greetings from Canada.
