Hi John. Yep, no doubt the moment you start increasing or decreasing the amount of sky in your picture, the ground exposure changes enormously... Good tip. Cheers, Ian

[@Aaron_Rivas]

Gracias por la información, estaba buscando esos valores de configuración para poder hacer vídeos más fluidos!!!

[@EpicLib]

Is it OK if i post your video and main settings to my blog www.dronepilots.club ?

[@IaninLondon]

Hi fella. Sorry for the delay; this slipped thru. Yes, just go auto, then amend to manual. But you can adjust it directly in Manual until you're happy with what you see on the screen; it will stay locked at your last change. Cheers, Ian

[@IaninLondon]

Sure!! Share away fella. Just quote the channel as well please: kzbin.info Cheers, ian

Thank you for making this video. I like it is very straight forward and you don't talk "too much" like other KZbinrs.

Looked around for awhile trying to find best recommendations for Mavic Air settings to improve control for video. Nothing is more to the point and clearly explained than the info in this video. Great job!

[@IaninLondon]

Michael Vinson Thanks Michael 👍🏻👍🏻

[@seeaclip]

This is an excellent video, especially for someone like me who is interested in flight as well as photography. It has helped me reorient my thinking toward my Mavic from “airplane with a camera” to “camera that flies”...a big difference. Thanks for making the video and as always thanks to Ted for defending the property line!

[@IaninLondon]

Aha... Thanks Rak. Glad you liked this, and stay tuned as I'm working on a follow up to this video on how to control your gimbal, camera and fly the drone at the same time.... Smooth Flying Techniques..That's coming soon... But I got the Mavic 2 Pro today, so that's suddenly taking up my time now! Ted helping out :) Cheers, Ian

Thank you, Ian, in London from Pete in Banbury Just got my first DJI Mavic Air and loving it. I watched one of your videos and remembered you'd mentioned gimbal and camera settings. This was invaluable.

[@eadjh98]

Great tips Ian! Thanks

[@GolfTesla]

Thanks , I like the matter-of-factish tone in this clip (and the good image quality). No "marketing" and sales-person rap.. / It is amazing how much opportunities for "tweaking" the Mavic Pro/Air/Zoom offers - and it greatly helps to create nice footage (without requiring an extremely controlled thumbs and fingers movement). I use a Mavic Pro Platinum for my channel. Greetings from Switzerland

[@IaninLondon]

Very true. That's my only concern with the Air 2, that is uses the simpler Fly app, rather than the Go 4 app.... Let's see what it's like...

[@FraserSteve]

Super helpful - great work

[@GeneMoretti]

Thank you so much. Just got my Mavic Air and the last 2 days have been watching KZbin videos on the subject and yours was great.

[@mikeplow1961]

@@IaninLondon You're welcome. I flew with your recommended settings this morning and am really pleased with the resulting footage. So good to have such a straightforward and informative channel.

[@inbetweenland4395]

Thanks Ian just bought a Mavic 2 pro, I had done 3 years on a Parrot Anafi but up here it is constantly windy so the Pro 2 weight is ideal, it`s transmission and battery in comparison to the Anafi are night and day, you fly it with confidence and that is a big statement. The battery and transmission are solid . so you have time at the scene to plan shots, witch is what I am planning to do but to maximise it`s strenghth`s you really have to learn to control it, big drone as well, your reponsibilities as a pilot really sharpen with this as well, This video nails it on the head, that rotate left or right is the killer of all moves if it goes out of control, so them settings are ideal. With the new drone I will go a bit slower just to get used to move where I need to without hesitation, contol the flying is what gets the shot appreciated

[@IaninLondon]

Mavic 2 Pro is a truly solid beast. Check out my Iceland volcano vids; all filmed last year with the 2 Pro :)

Hi mate just found your channel, learning so much, thanks keep them coming, i have a lot more to learn👍

[@GhandiManning]

Really nice video man, clean and to the point, very easy explanation of a substantial amount of information but without going too far or covering too much in one video. I'm learning the Litchi app at the moment, although my phone location seems to be offset causing the Follow to fail quite dramatically, however, I was wondering out of all the settings you mention in this video, if set in the DJI Go 4 app, which would carry over when using the Litchi app? Thanks, definitely subscribed for future vids (Y)

[@IaninLondon]

Thanks for the good words 👍🏻. I don't use litchi and stick with the Go 4 app. The RTH GPS location is captured by the drone itself, then shown in the map on your phone. Unsure why your phone's location would be off too but you need to sort this or you'll be stuffed if you lose signal. Maybe open maps and click the location symbol before you open the Go 4 app and before you Power up the drone.... Cheers, Ian.

[@GhandiManning]

@@IaninLondon Thanks I will try that. I want to learn both apps inside out, I've had a few close calls and I want to mitigate against as many things as I can and more importantly, know when NOT to fly. I take it and then don't use it because of this fear, so I'm force training myself now. I've taken more videos this week on just one battery a day than I have done the entire year I've owned it if you exclude the first month haha. Knowledge is power!! (and fishing ponds are not for low batteries). As for the settings, I was thinking of the gimbal sensitivity etc (sorry, forgot the proper terminology) from tonight's test I can confirm the settings are loaded to, and persist on, the Air when transferring to Litchi, but are ignored when using the Waypoints. I guess this makes sense, just like the settings are ignored even with the official app when selecting either Cinematic or Tripod mode. Waypoints is a more precise placement controller that over ules the start/stop of controllers and their sensitivity. Just means I will need to learn more tricks to get the Waypoints to create smoother shots. Thanks (Y)

[@IaninLondon]

Yes, when you change to tripod or Sports, by definition those modes change many aspects of how the drone handles, especially with regards to turning. It's all about practice :) Ian

[@VICVideopIC]

Excellent video, straight to the point. Well done!

[@marctrainor5595]

Great efforts for the video..yes they are the most important settings.... that dog is so lovely..

[@vegasvideoguy]

Ian, what an extremely informative video presentation. I do not have a DJI product and I've been wondering why every video I've seen on KZbin, whether it be DJI or any other drone maker, is the fact that the pans are so jerky. Your video, at least for the DJI drones, can now be adjusted to control the pans instead of taking them into post/video editing programs and slo-mo the start and stop to a pan. KUDO's to you for this video!

[@IaninLondon]

Thanks Vegas Dude! Slowing down the pan in Post is not great anyway, as you'll get the individual frame shot movements showing up. All drones require a delicate touch when turning! cheers, Ian
