How To Film & Edit Cinematic FPV Drone Fly Through / DJI 03 Air Unit

[@saturn_fpv]

Some tips: 1) Adjust camera angle after seeing test footage to have object and building lines vertical 2) set throttle curve for better throttle control to eliminate wavy flightpath 3) record audio at each station several takes, close to the speaking talent 4) change timeline color space to davinci intermediate as well if you use cst and color space aware grading tools (like hdr wheels) 5) add quiet ambient music with reverb effect and use stereo controls to match the direction

[@harshlalwani4311]

Love your suggestions dude! Would like to connect. Can you share your social handle?

[@DogflyFilm]

What is your throttle curve setting ?

[@justinanthonyberru4996]

thanks for sharing your workflow, it really helps beginners getting into the scene . thumbs up for you dude!

[@JonnyTrego]

I am so glad to hear that! Honestly almost didn’t upload this bc I didn’t know if anyone would watch it

[@noobrescue]

I’m happy to say this process looks exactly like how I go about filming small businesses 😅

[@JonnyTrego]

That’s great! Like most things in video work it’s the same thing just using different tools

[@Mathew-A]

Hi what gyro flow settings did you use

[@VisualObserver]

First time seeing your channel. You’re doing great work for us(beginners). Thanks a lot dude.

[@JonnyTrego]

Thank you I appreciate that! Definitely gonna keep the videos rolling!

[@FredOzeee]

Hi from France....would that be ok to ask you how much you charge for that kind of work ? thx. Fred

[@_test_test]

it would be nice to have a video about gyrpflow settings and how to work with it correctly. now im just using 'make everythinh cool' button:D

[@JonnyTrego]

I can absolutely do that!

[@CrowbarCromar]

You should do a guide on your settings for beta flight.

[@JonnyTrego]

That’s definitely on my list of videos to do!🙌🏻

[@sparkitektfpv1296]

A couple of things here need to be unpacked and reevaluated. When stabilizing your footage, especially with GF, the rule of thumb is to use a higher shutter angle of 90° minimum. All stabilization benefits from a higher shutter speed, as the software interprets motion blur as jello. You can find more info on this in the GF manual. There’s a lot that can be done in terms of handling that can improve the overall experience for the viewer. Coordinated turns and deliberately taking advantage of your vertical space will make your turns appear less robotic and a lot more graceful. Throttle management is crucial for presentation, as bobbling around can be a bit distracting…for something like what you’re doing, always assume that your target viewer is a grandma that suffers from vertigo. I think you’d benefit from learning to race or freestyle, as either discipline will help you achieve the look that you really want.

[@JonnyTrego]

I appreciate the feedback! I understand that Gyroflow prefers different settings than what I am flying. Due to how the noise breaks up so badly in the footage when pushing high iso you either have to sacrifice having less noisy footage or gf not being perfect, and I chose to have less noisy footage, as for my flying I agree it can always be better and im not claiming to be the best pilot. Just doing my best with the skills I have while I develop! ☺️ Thanks so much!

Bro who the fuck asked you to grade his paper on this ? Chill lil 164 sub

[@quantum_m3chan1c]

I struggle with flying well indoors on my Cinebot30. Can you share advice on whether you adjust rates specifically way down for this? Are you always flying Acro or horizon indoors?

[@JonnyTrego]

I actually made a video about this! here is the link to it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/roPYZKyap6ymfbc&ab_channel=JonnyTrego

[@Jpilgrim30]

You sound just like I would’ve. “I missed it!” Always some captain obvious to try to tell you something after the fact 😂

[@JonnyTrego]

I had my VO yelling in my ear about it, and then the people in the store started freaking out and im just like did you all not pay attention during the safety meeting? lol

[@muntus]

i love drones and flying, but some videos like this, wouldn't it be easier to do with osmo pocket 2 ? as there is no to much benefit of having drone in this video? no hate, just hones question on the equipment for task

[@JonnyTrego]

I appreciate the question! So there are advantages and disadvantages of using a drone, but truly to be able to get a video that is as smooth, in one take and that can go over the obstacles drones are the only way to do it. There were several things that I flew over that if i was using a pocket 2 I woiuld have had to jump over. I actually have a comparison video on this as to why I use a drone versus the osmo pocket 3 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZa7mYabedihj8U

[@MarkBowenPiano]

Beautifully edited. Fantastic work. I have to say in my head I was hearing some music that would go great with what you'd done. Definitely think a music track (not loud of course so you can still hear all the foley) would push the video up to the next level. May of course not have been something they wanted but I do think it would add a lot to it. Anyway, absolutely fantastic work. Very masterful.

[@Carioca_fpv]

Nice video and explanation mate! I have the same flylens! Can you please share your rates? Thanks in advance!

[@JonnyTrego]

Thanks so much! Rates are at 670, Roll and yaw expo are at 0.50 the pitch expo is at 0.30, my throttle mid is at 0.25 and throttle expo is at 0.50 (ive got it setup for flying the flywoo 1,000Mah batteries)

@JonnyTrego well I might have to take you up on that. I have bought a radiomaster boxer elrs and a Lil hummingbird V3 tinywhoop to begin my flight training lol. Soon I will be getting either a 2.5 or 3.5 cinewhoop. I'm more interested in filming and making fly through videos for social media for businesses rentals etc. Any recommendations for a cinewhoop under $500?

[@JonnyTrego]

Nice! That’s the best way to do it, I really like the cinelog 25, the dark star 20 is cool and then I’ve got the flylens85 and I absolutely love it

[@SmokyMountainFPV]

@JonnyTrego are you just using the dji air 03 unit or are you flying a naked go pro?

[@JonnyTrego]

Most of the time I am using the 03 Air unit

[@CrowbarCromar]

I need your help 🚨 I have watched so many of your videos now and I just can't decide what type of drone and size I need for what I want. I'm looking at filming, indoor skateboarding and other extreme sports. I already own the DJI AVATA but I need something lighter.

[@JonnyTrego]

I’ve got the flylens 85 and I would highly recommend it! For the weight of it you get so much freakin power and it’s a beast at flying indoors

[@khawthongxiang2348]

Great video and explanations ! However, I can spot the blue Colors of the lighting on your prop guards spilling into the video. I would mask that part out and apply despill for the Color blue throughout the video. Nevertheless, this video really showcased almost everything there is to know about fly throughs!

[@JonnyTrego]

Thanks so much! Yea for drone tours I need to turn off the blue LEDs on my drone so it doesn’t spill into the footage, I just gotta program a button in betaflight!

Wait, can you horizon lock with O3?

[@trisepp]

Thanks for sharing your work, great video and result!

[@m0kn33marc]

FYI: Davinci has a gyroflow plugin

[@mrMihaylo]

Thanks for the video. What kind of camera do you use to film yourself in your room, not in the store? It is very interesting, how much does such a job cost? What kind of payment should I ask for this shoot, the video.

[@JonnyTrego]

Of course! i am glad you enjoyed it! I am using the FX3 to shoot all of my content as that is the camera I use to shoot with clients in my business. It all depends on what the customer is wanting but my FPV services start at $350

[@tinexdFPV]

Do you get money for that?

[@D2PL]

Its not better to buy cinelog 25 v2 and mount naked gopro? Quality of O3 is ~ action 2 maximum

[@JonnyTrego]

It absolutely would be better video quality, there’s a much bigger weight difference with those two setups so the flying is a different feel, and adding a naked GoPro doubles the price of the setup. So for me right now with my budget and how much I’m making from doing fpv fly throughs this is perfect. As my business grows so will my equipment

Great video. Love seeing the full process! You don’t mind the blue light bleed? Also what’s the rationale to use o3 over a naked GoPro?

[@JonnyTrego]

Thank you so much! I dont mind it but i do need to put a switch on my controller to turn it off, when flying around people i like having it on so they can clearly see the drone. And my rationale is money😂 I just cant afford a naked Gopro at the moment so i am using what I have.

Jonny! Greaat video! I tried getting my Flylens85 to fly indoors but I just gave up and I've been flying outdoors. Could you please share your rates for this kind of indoor/cinematic videos ? Thanks !!!

[@JonnyTrego]

Thanks so much! It took me a while to dial in my rates for indoors because the drone is so freakin powerful! Honestly I probably still need to dial them down a bit but I fly outside too! I’ll make a video this week on my rates and how to dial them in!

Thanks@@JonnyTrego , you're the best!

[@FlashFPV]

But can you really really fly your drone with O3 at 30 FPS? I can't... it's super stuttery... it feels like flying at 5 FPS

[@JonnyTrego]

I mean it definitely does suck, but I’d rather have to compensate for that than have noisy footage, nothing is perfect so it’s about what you’re willing to sacrifice

[@FlashFPV]

@@JonnyTregoNice... thanks for answering. I didn't mean to be sarcastic nor rude, I really asked because I tried and feel like it was "unflyable" .... But I didn't really try that much, I flew for 10 seconds and thought that it wasn't any good for flying at 30 FPS. But I'll definitely try it now and see if I get some more cinematic shots with 30 FPS and shutter speed at 1/60

[@JonnyTrego]

I didn’t think you were at all! Truly, I have to figure out what I’m gonna sacrifice, that’s with anything recording any type of video in poor lighting. I don’t notice it too bad on slow flights, there is some compensating but it’s when you’re flying fast that it’s like oh crap this isn’t good lol

Personally I prefer a 2.5 inch drone for flying inside, it’s easier to control and not as much power, and they are lighter inc are you do crash inside someone’s home, it really just depends on the size of the space you are flying
