DJI MINI 3 & 4 PRO // THE SECRET TO EPIC FOCUS TRACK DRONE SHOTS (ACTIVE TRACK, SPOTLIGHT and POI)!

[@bernhardthomaskotulla3888]

Genau die richtige Location für solche Aufnahmen!! Davon kann ich in Deutschland nur träumen ! Super Video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@alienbob5595]

"I've just contradicted everything I've said". Nice! Instead of simply editing that section out you poke a little fun at yourself. You're not only informative with your videos but entertaining as well. Of course, it doesn't hurt either that you're filming in an absolutely breathtaking location. Keep up the good work, please

[@DroneFilmGuide]

Thank you for the kind words and support!

[@JBOutside1]

You beat me to it. Love the comments and content Stewart. Can’t wait for my Mini to arrive this week. I’ll try not to contradict myself 🤣

[@YotamKedem]

Using ground as POI, genius idea! Much smoother results..

[@sky3rocket]

Stewart I lived on Skye for 12 years but am now disabled and can no longer walk these hills. Thank you for rekindling wonderful memories.

[@renejaschke9835]

Brilliant storytelling and brilliant tips! Am I too stupid to find out where you were hiking? Awesome landscape! Please share.....

[@EmanuelBohlander]

Yes please! I’m very interrested too!

[@BlackOps-Ent]

omg, that place was gorgeous! The over the cliff shots made my stomach sick. I used to fly paragliders - this also made my stomach sick. Good, healthy respect for atmospheric turbulence. It turbulence can jack a 747 around, imagine what it can do to a 200lb pilot dangling from a flying sheet by tiny strings. Thanks for the tips, making me sick, and the wonderful production. Even if it was a tutorial with you yacking all the time, the scenery was among the best I've ever seen. I wish I lived in Europe. There is so much really old history, beautiful castles and villas, mountains, oceans...

[@StefanMalloch]

Absolute gold my dude.

[@AutumnBlair]

You turn these instructional videos into beautiful poetry. Thanks for another great production.

These shots are really something, when the drone is smooth it looks so good. Selecting the ground is a really good tip

[@AndrewVanBeekOttawa]

It's weird how good a drone video is when it's not about range tests and battery life. You guys are in a league of your own.

[@DroneFilmGuide]

Ha, thanks Andrew! Yes, time to move one from range tests!

[@unclejezza]

The amount of value I am getting from your content is absolutely Immeasurable. Thank you and subbed 👍

[@FernwehChronicles]

The spotlight pointing on the ground is literally the best tip I have ever heard of. Thank you 🙏🏻 And what is that amazing place? Where is this? 😮

[@happybanana3040]

Strong capabilities on such a compact drone. Excited for DJI’s mini series. Mini 3 Pro is the most powerful one yet.

[@tontza_visuals]

[@rikrraven7285]

New to drone photography so I'm watching many good channels and videos on this topic. Just stumbled across this video and its on another level. You've way surpassed what I've seen. You've kept it simple and informative and showed me what's possible with some basic moves and my inspiration. Instant subscription and ill be catching up on all the other videos.

Very kind of you to say so Stephen!!

[@mikelytou]

These are some insanely good shots!

One word .... Stonking! Wish I'd had a Mini 3 Pro during my hillwalking days in Scotland. Inverpolly is simply stunning and your footage proves it in spades!! Great advice as usual :)

[@smite5135]

Beautiful shots up there in the mountains.

[@Digitalfiendscom]

As someone who just bought his first drone (a Mini 3 Pro), I really appreciate the info you've provided on your channel. This video is absolutely fantastic and very informative. Definitely going to check out your courses once I get comfortable with flying this thing. I just wish I had scenery like that to work with (and enjoy)...!!!

Love your stuff. You are a real class act. The overall impact of your videos puts you head and shoulder above all of the other channels I follow (and I love them all). In just 2 words, ‘experienced professional’ and it shows!

[@mattyjproductions6257]

Great vid as usual. That drop off made my family jewels tingle.

[@DroneFilmGuide]

Looks worse in the video! It's fine in real life!

[@gravelroadsindia]

These are some excellent simple tips which will make the drone game far superior. There is a fundamental idea you revealed about drone photography to show as how an object moves from location A to B.

Fantastic video and love all the wisdom and tips to make Active Track really work! Would love to see everything fully "cut" together to tell your story of hiking up this mountain!

Absolutly Amazing video. I am following you from a few years since i got my mini 1. Helped me to improve. I am wating my mini 3 and this feature Is the One i am most exting to use since i often film alone early in the morning. Such an Amazing way to use It. Thanks so much.

Much appreciated Warren!

Golly! the view from the top of the peaks look like some Martian landscape(not that I would know for sure what it would look like on Mars). Simply staggeringly beautiful👍👍

This is a really good video to help us become better photographers. I really appreciate the instruction. You've given me some ideas to try out. Thank you.

[@DroneFilmGuide]

You're very welcome!

[@zoon57]

Fantastic video and great information - thank you.

[@jkl3768]

Amazing tip! I haven’t seen anyone else on YT suggest using the ground as the POI. Your shots looked more cinematic when the focus was on the ground rather than on the human subject. I think this tip will become standard for most pilots after watching your results. Excited to try this out next time I fly.

[@DroneFilmGuide]

Thanks! POI didn't track the subject when it came out so the subject tracking was an exciting addition. It's really useful but it can also be better without. Cheers!

[@Rockbasscovers]

Awesome stuff! Very inspiring, we are going to be visiting Scotland in May and hopefully I will be able to get some cool shots like these! Thank you!!

[@406Papa69]

Great video I'm glad I stumbled upon. I've had a few different drones over the years, and my DJI Mini 3 Pro has been my favorite. I would maybe suggest if you're doing circles on a hill, I would start on the uphill side so it has a lesser chance of hitting the ground. That's my 2 cents anyway.

[@lobanrahmantonoy4130]

The view from the top was spectacular. It was windy, I guess you took a lot of batteries with you for the drone.

[@34Media]

Great tips mate , and that landscape is EPIC, very jelly. Especially handy that locking onto the ground given me some great ideas!

[@Supercon57]

Great tips I just got my mini 3 pro recently, first drone This info is very useful, thank you

[@babycharliebrown]

Your POI focus trick is fabulous and the best tip I’ve seen in a while! Thanks! I actually don’t have the Mini 3 though. I’ve got the Mini 2 but I’m going to try your tip of focusing on an object and walking into the frame when using Quickshots. I’m sure it will work! Thanks again.

[@djduane1]

Excellent job as always, Stewart! Now we know how you stay in such great shape! Mini 3 looks awesome! Can't wait for mine to arrive!!

[@paulypaulypauly8011]

Hi Stewart, and thanks for a great video! I also have a DJI mini 3 pro, and have a question about video quality which is displayed pretty clearly in yours from 3:25, and in many KZbin videos made by this specific drone. As the drone rotates around you, you can see little ‘jerks’ or jumpiness in the video. It doesn’t seem to follow a pattern, but I find it quite distracting. Is there a way this can be eliminated? I see you have discussed some jerkiness in the output and attempted to remove it by spotlighting a fixed point on the ground, but even this video is a little jerky. Thanks again.
