I filmed a cinematic video with only the Dji Neo

I filmed a complete cinematic video of the famous King Alfreds tower including B roll using just the Dji Neo. Almost every available function was used - mobile phone control, NC3, Dji Remote 3/FPV, AI control, orbits, follow me. All came together pretty well. Lighting conditions where tricky as probably beyond what this little drone can comfortably cope with but sometimes what matters more is to capture the moment no matter how.

I have worked in professional video production most of my life. The skill of the videographer is much more important than the tool used to produce the video. Most people now want to be able to shoot haphazardly in horrible lighting and then fix the video in post. A master photographer can take a simple camera and produce a work of art. Google some images created by Ansel Adams. His work was produced using cameras that would be considered crude by todays standards, but he is still recognized as one of the greatest photographers ever.

@@mssippijim very true. I also feel there’s an element of the old saying „the best camera is one you always have on you“. In the same way a drone which can always live in your bag to capture amazing moments even if you didn’t plan to take a drone is invaluable. Also at $199 you can attempt things with this drone that you wouldn’t dare with even a $1000 drone - the shot itself can be far more important than the quality.

Yes this was 100% filmed with the dji NEO because I wanted to demonstrate how versatile its functions can be. The quality actually could have been even better but I pushed it a lot by shooting into the sun - small camera sensors don't normally cope well with this. I use manual setting - shutter speed according to light conditions and keep iso low - this is important - Iso has to stay below 400 or even 200. I also set my ev to -0.3 or -0.7. You can set video quality, sharpness etc settings when using the NC3 controller, RC2 or using the FPV Goggles 3.

@@Dartheomus well the way I see it dji have another 115g to play with to keep this a sub 250g drone sp maybe they will bring out something a bit more capable. For now I actually quite like the challenge of this limited drone. It’s making me think about the quality of ambient light far more critically.

[@Dartheomus]

@@dronewilder5234 Fair point. I agree about the weight component as well. I just need to remember it was my excuse to fly manual on a cheaper drone so I don't wreck my Avata 2 right out of the gate!

@@dttec7660 unfortunately it isn’t at the moment - perhaps at some point more compatabilites will be added but bear in mind that the rc N3 controller and smart controllers are very different from an Fpv controller as you don’t usually have self centering on the throttle.

The footage is nice but looks over sharpened and low quality to my eyes. Great for $200 I guess.

[@dronewilder5234]

@@AtortAerials you can lower the sharpening in settings from what I used. I’d love to see the ability to change video setting globally across all modes so for example if I film at 1/60, iso 200 in RC-N3 mode, the same setting apply to AI mode and mobile device mode including sharpness settings

[@BhupenderSingh-mm2rk]

I always thinks it's the pilot not the drone, people use to make good video from spark back then, and those videos were good and this is also good drone if operator is good enough. It take skills to make this kind of video, those who can create it and have limited budget will go for it like me, others with mavic 3 pro cine fly more combo max bla bla bla...will always criticize it no matter what, I know it is not that much capable but not everyone can afford 1000 usd drone and if it crashes all goes to waste. And yes in my country those 1000 usd drone costs us around 1500 usd. And this NEO fly more combo costs 550 usd dollar without any kind of warranty in my country.

[@dronewilder5234]

@@BhupenderSingh-mm2rk absolutely and thank you. Further to add to your comment, the Neo will teach a newcomer more about lighting and how to use it than most more expensive and forgiving drones 👍

[@BhupenderSingh-mm2rk]

@@dronewilder5234 absolutely yes. This drone shortens the learning curve and reduces the fear of causal crashes from pilot's mind.

be honest that camera is pretty far from "cinematic" level. Looks like a chinese SJcam camera footage...

[@dronewilder5234]

It’s really subjective to how critically you look at it. For the money it’s quite decent but not without flaws - but then you can fly it places you may not even want to fly a $1000 drone!

[@merliner46]

The comment is not very kind, because it does not handle the tiny drone properly, the performance of which and the video it produces are adequate considering the price, and it is a very useful little device for preserving the memories of a trip.

[@Mr.N0.0ne]

That was really nice and really well done. Good job. What was more impressive to me, though, was the incredibly beautiful music. I wish whenever people make the decision to use someone's music that they would seek out and find the artist's name and include that information in the description so that you can help promote them. You probably just used some soulless music subscription service which basically exploits musicians. And you probably didn't even give much thought or any thought to the person who wrote that music. It's just a substance that you can grab and place over your video to take it up several notches in enjoyment and impress your audience. That music took a lot of work, a lot of time and probably decades of talent and skill refinement to be able to create.

[@dronewilder5234]

@@Mr.N0.0ne thanks for the kind comment. As an avid Jazz Drummer and musician myself I very much know the often thankless and seemingly fruitless aspects of the job, spending evening doing gigs for money that barely covered travel expenses. However it was the joy it brought to people that made it worth my while. It’s the same with these videos, I often spend hours of my time searching for the right music to suit the feel I’m trying to create with a huge appreciation of the skill required to create the music. I know the best I can hope for in a material sense is enough KZbin revenue to cover my music subscription fees to break even- but if it brings people enjoyment that’s more important. I can only hope the talented musicians behind the music I use feel the same way. I do agree it’s a good idea to credit them in my description and I will look to start doing this (beginning with this video - description to be updated accordingly shortly).

@@andrewdrewdrew1637 the camera can produce better results - I was in a rush to get every shot done in 30 mins before light went. Ideally should have used fixed exposure rather than auto iso as usual. Additionally, shooting straight into the sun really does push the little camera a lot.
