BEST SETTINGS for CINEMATIC FOOTAGE with the DJI SPARK

[@vansantsam]

A good alternative to manual exposure settings is to program the front button for "exposure lock".. Leave the exposure in auto mode and get the drone in the air and face the camera toward the ground (eliminate the sky). Then press the exposure lock button and it will lock the exposure - worse case is the sky will occasionally be overexposed (that is ok), as the landscape will always be properly exposed no matter if you are facing toward or away from the sun or bright sky.. You can unlock and relock as needed on the fly (just remember to point the camera toward the landscape and eliminate any influence from the sky).. Much better and faster solution then trying to guess with manual settings using histogram..

Jim Richard thanks for this helpful tip

[@AndreasSchroederphotography]

what front button? Drone? Mobile? Controller?

[@whatsup7202]

@@AndreasSchroederphotography Controller... set in app.

[@jordanleng204]

Thanks Jim Richard :) It’s nice not having to keep manually tweaking the camera settings.

[@kveditme]

Jim Richard awesome call out thanks

[@ScottPlude]

As a noob drone pilot and spark owner, I really enjoy these tips! I had no idea how many professional tweaks could be done to make my work look so much better. That gimbal speed was changed about 3 seconds after I saw the setting on your video. THANKS!!!!

[@uavllc1675]

Hey man- I watch quite a few of these tutorials, & I think yours are really good. I appreciate the way to talk to the viewers, such as when you’re telling them (us) that it’s not about the equipment, its about skill, so go hone yours. Too many people think it’s the equipment. Nice work.

[@OshiesWorld01]

Just got a spark to use on my channel. A lot to learn as far as flying and filming but this tutorial was great! Thanks!

[@Craigmri]

First grade tutorial and presentation.. Learning to produce videos myself and I am humbled.....Great job!!

[@thesoulkeeper31]

Thanks for the video and all the tips. I just got a Spark myself and it is a little different from what I'm used to, so this video really helped. Now, I do have to mention one thing which in my opinion it is extremely important. I own a Mavic Pro which I use as a hobby and professionally, and as a video editor I have to tell you, that while in video mode, if one can set the shutter speed to 60 and completely avoid changing it, it will definitely help not only with the "cinematic look" but with all videos in general. Because the Spark only records video at 30 fps the shutter speed must be at 60 to create a more natural motion blur, otherwise whenever there's movement in the video it will look very weird. Now, because during sunny days it is impossible to have proper exposure without having to touch the shutter speed, then getting a set of ND filters for the Spark will solve this issue of having to get the shutter speed higher than 60 when it is too sunny.

[@briancollins6543]

Just bought a spark amp your videos have been able to help me get the best from it. Thank you so much!!

[@Rj-nh1df]

You have now helped me set up my new DJI Spark I purchased yesterday. Now you are helping me adjust best settings for cinematic real estate photography. Much luck to you my friend. YOU JUST EARNED A NEW SUBSCRIBER!!!

[@clareomarfran]

Your jump cuts are practically seamless. Very smooth. Great advice also on settings. Thanks for posting.

[@marcialp93]

Just wanted to say I really appreciate your videos...I just picked up my spark two days ago and I actually had to go back sent you some of your previous videos on the spark and figure out what I was doing wrong on some of my settings... And they helped..👍🏽👍🏽..

[@AdrianMateoDrones]

Wow great and amazing video Dovey. Thanks for sharing this great video with us. I really appreciate all the help, information and updates. I just got a Dji Spark about 3 weeks ago and I love it. After watching the video I now know a lot more on how to get better videos and pictures. Thanks sooo much Sir. I really appreciate all the love and support my Drone brother. Thanks for all you do and please keep flying. Have a great evening. 🙏👨‍✈️🚁👍💯✌️

[@SurvivalShowcase]

Thank you so much for this video!!! I recently bought a spark fly more combo and this guide is probably the best how & why to setup for cinematic footage!!!

[@mattsdrone9846]

Thank you for all the help! I bought my drone in December and finally got out at the start of the year filming. Even started a channel now :)

[@markbackhouse8463]

This clip was very useful to me because I'm a first time user on a DJI spark I got to know how to use the camera the best focus and the best setup I was really impressed.... Thank you..

[@EdwinRucci]

Just got my Spark... been watching your videos for like 2 days! Gotta say you're the best!

[@JevenDovey]

awesome! thanks!

[@BillyBlaze7]

Man I love your content, (new spark owner), but more than all the great info you provide... I love the way you present it, I can tell you are sincere, not presenting your info in a condescending way is huge thing as many on KZbin do just that. I subbed your channel, your content is top notch, and I like your style. Thanks for the help!

[@jacklantern6339]

Thanks for the info. Had my spark since 2017 and am still amazed at the tech inside.

[@clanelliott0305]

One of the best videos on youtube, a must watch. Thanks

[@noli5754]

Thanks Jeven,I'm a beginner for the Dji spark,& I understand a lot from you.

[@JIMPONYD]

Thanks for posting this video. I'm looking forward to purchasing my spark after the new year.

[@jeffdonnell8245]

Just got my Spark and setting it up..great info.

[@champagnesylvie-lavieenfra1378]

*Hello* As a drone woman, I really appreciate your tips! especially with the gimball setting !!! Thank you for sharing with us your experience. Well done work and explanation. I will try to set my gimball at 11 for my videos!

[@BressanElBando]

Thanks a lot! I just reconfigured my settings, it was all automatic. Great and objective tips!

[@rickm1548]

Excellent! Absolutely one of the best and most informative videos of taking effective videos with the Spark I've ever come across. Thank you!

[@Roman-re1yg]

Great video thanks! Just got a spark to go along with my mavic pro. Already love the little guy! Keep up the great work Jeven!

[@jeffpv.]

Thanks, good info! I've had my spark a few days now and love it. I felt the video was kinda meh... But the still images are actually quite good. Going to try these settings tomorrow.

[@1dat]

Merci beaucoup Jeven for all those videos of tips & tricks. Very useful. Thanks to Jim for the idea of exposure lock.

[@SDPickups]

Wow, you really opened my eyes a bit here. Am still waiting for my controller to show up, and this is one of the better videos I've seen among the many.

[@Tallguysrc]

Great Video I have been telling people the same thing forever, the spark when setup correct shoots some amazing video, the key is when setup correct.

[@dermotpierse7121]

I got a spark today thank you this will really help me get good shots

[@cdg3477]

Getting my Spark tomorrow. Thanks for these videos, they have been very helpful.

[@JevenDovey]

Awesome! You're going to love it!

[@advandenbosch1110]

Casey Gavette nice video

[@jimimorris3627]

Kristy Harden ??? What reasons?

[@BenjaminKennethYoutube]

Great job explaining mate! Most videos of people teaching stuff is pretty boring but you made it entertaining and I was able to learn! Keeping it simple and to the point! Thanks 👊🏼

[@TheGrootTravelers]

I just got my spark today, this is the third video I have seen about sparky and it really helps big time!!! thanks a lot jeven!!!

[@joesteadman7213]

Got my spark a couple of days ago, love what it has brought to my videos and these tips are really going to help!

[@JevenDovey]

Awesome!

[@BionicRusty]

Jeven, thank you so much for posting these videos. I’ve just upgraded to a Spark and can’t wait to get started. Great tips and greatly appreciated. ♥️

[@kriskelley1982]

Dude I watch all you videos! So informative. Thanks for all you do.

[@redradoa]

Another great tutorial. Thank you very much!

[@heycis99]

YOU ARE THE BEST......! Awesome tutorials, keep up the good work ON POINT...!

[@JevenDovey]

THANK YOU! Let me know if you have any questions or are looking for anything specific :)

[@kcho1200]

Great video, i just got my spark and thanks to your video i easily & quickly learn everything about it.

[@RGMGFitness]

Good stuff! Thanks for the heads up and reminders about some of this stuff. Sometimes I forget to go in there and play with some of this stuff.

[@JevenDovey]

Yeah its always good to go through the menus once in a while to make sure you're dialed in. I forget about this stuff sometimes before I fly too.

[@GoffyTv]

Well dine dude, really clear and concise instruction put together really well.!

[@dgmenace73]

Thanks man...this helped a lot! The auto is "ok" but now that I have seen this video, I can put my photography knowledge/experience to work. I have always enjoyed the hobby of photography and for 20yrs now, enjoyed the hobby of RC. Great tips!

[@RonaldBrown59]

Another great tutorial video. Your channel has become my go to for getting better video out of my DJI products. Thanks! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

[@SteveCoutts]

Great tips, thanks! Your point about (paraphrasing) "not the camera you're using but how you're using it" - totally bang on! Cheers.

[@JevenDovey]

Half the battle is just getting the courage to just go for it. Once you get over that vlogging is pretty easy

[@pepezoomba]

That´s like guitars: a good guitarist can make a shitty guitar sound good, and a shitty guitarist can make a 5000 guitar sound like crap...

[@Chasingthebliss]

Steve Coutts so agreed with this.

[@agnesj278]

Great! Another great video from you! Keep it up!

[@rky4988]

Thanks for ur detailed and easy plus useful tips for DJI spark....!!!

[@chintot9734]

What I love about this video is how you explained the Manual camera controls at mark 5:41 or so... and nice sneak plug-in on the apparel there haha, glad you kept that super short :)

[@JevenDovey]

😀😀

[@yesterdayistoday8760]

GREAT tips! Very concise and easy to understand! I'm going to Hawaii in May and am learning how to use my spark for the trip. Thanks for this!

[@elgarnamocii3397]

yeah i agree 9:12mins my spark drone until now...it's awesome

[@terryandteresa]

Thanks for being a responsible channel and pilot man!! I know thats a huge pain because I've had to redo a few videos myself! 👍👍👍 Merry Christmas bro and again thank you!!

[@JevenDovey]

I really appreciate you catching my error and verifying it! I did some digging and realized I was using that function wrong. Merry Christmas!

[@ianbarrett911]

Another error on here people need to be well aware of. The RTH at current altitude and RTH at set altitude are not one or the other options. In fact it is highly recommended that RTH at current altitude is turned on. RTH at current altitude option is for under 20 meters only. If you have it turned off, if under 20 meters away it will land where it is regardless of where it is. If over 20 meters away it will follow your set rth altitude. Thanks for all the other incoming this video though, really useful and has improved my videos massively

[@whatsup7202]

RTH at current altitude recommended??? Are you insane? Most people, MOST, fly their Spark well beyond 20m from Home Point, and around objects. Current altitude RTH can kill a drone.

[@DavidCentaura]

Love watching your videos, very well said and put together. Thanks for the awesome tips.
