A good guide.

Great video, Jake! It's a pity DJI don't allow you to choose the frame rate with the quick shots.

[@JakeSloan]

Agreed!!

[@ihackyourtoaster3021]

That’s why I’m still keeping my DJI Mini 2 despite the new drones coming out in the market.

[@JakeSloan]

the Mini 2 is one of my favorite drones still!

@@JakeSloan I just sold mavic pro 2 because mavic 3 will be out October with zoom lens, however I just fly for fun with all the new restrictions I may get mini 2 instead . Maybe more useful for traveling

I just bought my first drone DJI Mini 2. Thank you so much for your reviews, you really helped me make my mind. Big Hello all the way from Norway :)

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you and hello from Alaska! I hope to make it to Norway some day!

[@tecwzrd]

I kept waiting for a bear to just show up out of the blue. Amazing video and excellent tutorial. Using speed ramps (up or down) on the quickshots adds a lot to the videos also :)

[@JakeSloan]

LOL yeah I was keeping an eye open for them

[@Stpilot]

good tips, thanks Jake!

[@JakeSloan]

You’re welcome thanks for watching!

Hello I really enjoyed the explanations about DJI MINI 2 can you tell me with which editing software you work thanks

Mr. Sloan when out and about in bear country, do you remember to always bring a slower friend!

I always do lol

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Good video, in fact I’ve been using a lot of the things that you’ve talked about to do my own drone shots. Love Prince William sound. Break up came quick this year for sure

[@JakeSloan]

awesome and yes it did!

Awesome Footage,You have my Like ;)

[@JakeSloan]

You have my thanks.

[@PhilSledge]

It must be Spring Jake in a T-shirt

[@JakeSloan]

LOL truth

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

💥💥 Excellent creative info, thank you. Does the video have to stop after using each of these quick shot modes? It would be nice if I could keep the recording going and maybe just have it hover after if goes through it’s path. 🤟🏼

[@JakeSloan]

it does stop and unfortunately there is no way to keep the drone recording since these are intelligent pre programed flight modes

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

@@JakeSloan thanks for the reply and what a bummer. With some like the rocket I wish it would shoot up to the set altitude then just hover there while I move around or something. I was in an empty parking lot with my daughter one time after the ski lifts closed down and I would love to have gotten in my car and driven out of the frame as if I was leaving.

[@combatwombat71]

Don't forget you have the Boomerang quickshot too. Just scroll down the list to reveal it.

[@JakeSloan]

True!

[@soloadvtravel]

Thanks for all the info and inspiration. There is no way to control speed on these shots correct? Also, have you used the RTH feature while manipulating the footage? I would be interested in a semblance of active track if my motorcycle at slow speed and going parallel to me.... Have anything like that? Thanks man!

[@JakeSloan]

Unfortunately there is no speed controls for any of these. The RTH feature is interesting for filming with but I haven’t had time to really play with it much yet.

[@gex4301]

Great video. I’m new to shooting drone footage and this is all really helpful. What software do you use and or recommend for post?

[@JakeSloan]

I use Final Cut Pro (Mac only) I do recommend davinci resolve for those who run Mac and Pc

[@chiquitotrio2709]

interesting. best app to do video editing?

[@JakeSloan]

on IOS devices I'd go with Luma fusion

[@calgarycolt]

Thank you for all the tips. Your audio tracks do every bit as much however as the videos. Can you imagine if there was no audio track? Where and how do you select the audio tracks? Could you provide a 5 step lesson on that?

[@JakeSloan]

agreed and yes I can!

[@jpplaces]

Mr Sloan, greetings good video! One question do you have any specific application to edit your videos on your Mac?

[@JakeSloan]

I use Final Cut Pro!

[@lynsmith1096]

Good video again Jake

[@JakeSloan]

Thanks!

[@PeteRoberts1966]

Hi Jake. New subscriber after watch this great video. Had my DJI Mini SE only a couple of weeks now. Loving it but haven't created any videos for KZbin. What video editing software are you using? I need something easy as I'm useless! Thanks

[@JakeSloan]

if you use Mac then use iMovie if you use PC then look up hit film express. otherwise there is a decent little editor built into the DJI app

[@PeteRoberts1966]

@@JakeSloan thanks. I'm a PC user so will take a look. Didn't realise that the DJI App does video editing so will take a look although I use a micro SD card on the drone & not sure if I can see the data that's on the micro SD card on my mobile. Thanks for the advise & keep up the great work.

[@potatoesoup3605]

Amazing video!

[@JakeSloan]

Thanks

[@nethomevideos7201]

Once I installed DJI Fly app on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. For some reason, I reset my phone. But in my phone memory the DJI Fly app's folders were not deleted. After resetting I installed again the app and fly my DJI Mini 2. But no flight record files were not recorded in FlightRecord folder. Now what can I do or how can I delete all folders and reinstall DJI Fly app.

[@JakeSloan]

Not really sure. You may need to contact DJI support

[@princashamletas8722]

Thanks, Jake, a really useful video. Quick question - what fps do you recommend to shoot videos with drone in general? I live in EU and always choosing between 24 and 25 fps, can’t decide :)

[@JakeSloan]

Since you are in the EU 25 or 30fps for sure

[@princashamletas8722]

@@JakeSloan thanks for the answer, what would be arguments to shoot in 30 fps if I like that cine 24 fps motion blur?

[@JakeSloan]

If you want to slow it down a bit in post and give it a bit of a dreamy feel. Still has the motion blur then 😉

[@livanlaynez1238]

Amazing video ! So I’m heading to Washington/Oregon next week and I’m taking my Dji mini is there a certain elevation and distance that I have to set for my drone since there will be a lot of big trees around

[@JakeSloan]

make sure it's set to be at least 20-40 ft higher than the trees you will be flying around!

[@livanlaynez1238]

@@JakeSloan thank you ! The only problem is I don’t know how tall the trees are !

[@Jeremywm]

I will never understand why no one makes a drone this size with even minimal active tracking

[@JakeSloan]

yeah I don't either... They can but they just won't

[@drybiscuit]

Once the SDK is released there will be plenty of 3rd party options available that will offer the feature.

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Excuse my ignorance - what editing software are you using?

This is Final Cut Pro X

With mini 2 what percents of battery should we go home?

Hour and a half on 3 batteries with Mini 2….are you joking. The honest answer is 15 minutes per battery +/- under 20% warning and +/- return to home landing time.
