I created this HDR Guide in order to help you shoot cinematic drone videos with your DJI Mavic Air 2. As I have been flying this drone constantly for the last few months and tested it out in every possible scenario I learned a lot about the advantages and the weaknesses of the HDR mode. In this guide I explain to you how the HDR mode works, when you should use it, when you should avoid it and how to pick the right ND filter for each situation. Enjoy and let me know in the comments how you liked it!

[@ibnorvin5714]

Hi. Once again a super cool and informative video 👍 Thanks a lot and keep up the good work 🙏💎

[@EduarFilms]

I've been using HDR video a lot since I bought the Air 2, I have seen the behaviour you explained in some shots, but for the most part usually it is working quite good so I am using it pretty much all the time like that and stop worrying to much about color correcting afterwards. The only thing I have noticed that I found pretty strange was that in blue hour it tends to change the white balance to some sort of teal color...

[@DroneFootageLibrary]

Great content vro.. Cheers 👍

[@kevinroell9007]

Great video! Regarding the auto focus when using HDR, could you go into normal mode first and lock the exposure then switch back to HDR (like you did with the shutter speed)?

[@champ1one908]

Can you make more tutorials or even a series on editing footage. Thx for your videos!

[@ParallelStructures1]

Another great vid. What a life!

Just amazing 😍, your videos is absolutely fantastic brother 👏 compare to all of.

[@villevaltonen-]

Excellent video!

[@jimhefner]

Thanks Niklas for the tip about use of ND filters when shooting HDR... adjust the dark areas with ND filters in normal mode before switching to HDR mode. I was adjusting the bright areas to get the stripes to go away in HDR mode and was getting very grainy shots, so thanks much for that!! I'll try that out next good sunset of sunrise opportunity. Your videos are great!! Keep up the good work!

[@NiklasChristl]

I'm glad that I could help you :D

[@algarpe]

Hi Niklas, thanks for your videos! You've helped me a lot to get prepared before shooting with my Mavic Air 2. I have a question regarding what you've mentioned about the exposure when switching to HDR mode. Can't you block the exposure to not having that sky change when doing for instance, a revealing shoot? I hope I can try it next week, but as I was re-watching this video, the doubt came to me... XP Thanks in advance!

[@Martin-zm9tg]

Great vid, thanks

[@alexandercholis]

Very Nice and Detailed Video!!! Greetings from Greece 😉

[@hazvideos7960]

thank you for all the hard work you have done to make these videos, i enjoy looking at your videos, i have a mavic air 2 like your but then the videos i capture no where near yours. i really do admire your hard work.thank you. i have a question if you dont mind. does your computer supoport 4k resolution? mine is just normal HD im wondering if thats is the problem with my videos. and what video editing you use? thank you

Bro. You are my inspiration for creating great content. Love your storytelling style video. Just drop to say thank you from Malaysia.

[@NiklasChristl]

Thanks a lot man! Happy to hear that :)

[@Oripix]

Hey Niklas amazing content once again, I have a question though ... Do you use flat profile and do you have noise issues ? How you deal with it ? Thanks again for all of your videos ;)

[@joiapauletta]

Really helpfull!

Great clip!

[@SebastianReimers]

Great content! I like your style and your positive attidude!

[@NiklasChristl]

I appreciate that! Thanks :)

[@hendrik5614]

Finde deine bildlichen Veranschaulichungen mega!

[@NiklasChristl]

Danke!!

[@paveldesort5657]

This is great thank you. I have now VND from PGYTECH 2-5 and testing it out under HDR. One question though. What is the benefit of using 50fps with sport mode and slow down 2x in post compare to 30fps with normal mode and leave the speed in post same? Probably only worth if there are moving objects or subjects in the scene, correct? Like waves, cars, boats and such?

[@Stano0711]

A very clear and applicable description

[@NiklasChristl]

Glad it was helpful!

[@alllemak]

Geia sou Ellada!! Hello Greece!!

[@jarreterasmus]

Great video! My Mavic air 2 arrived this morning!

[@NiklasChristl]

Nice!! Good flight man :D

[@simonet.1303]

Great video, man :-) I use HDR only if I have to quickly deliver or share the video, otherwise, normal mode and DCinelike curve: in post production maybe it'll give better result than a HDR mode clip, even post post produced..

[@CS-bl2sz]

wow，amazing
