people selling these information on online courses but Jeven is telling to us like a brother and teaching us free. Respect you Jeven. Thank you a lot.

[@phiggins94]

Just want to say a massive THANK YOU, as a new drone operator with little to no photography experience, your videos are by far the best content I've found for learning!

[@craiglawrey7518]

As a new pilot with no real photography background, this has been a great educational video. Thank you!

[@Potatogambit]

Been absolutely loving these videos. Picked up a mini 3 for my first drone and have been having a blast getting to use it and learn how to fly.

[@thatyousayido]

Thanks so much for your content. So helpful. Love how great you are with explaining and transferring your knowledge to us!

[@amateurvisser]

This is a great video man. Some of the information I was aware off, but this video bundles all that with new stuff into a complete package. Thank you for putting in the work, highly appreciated.

[@BugBobsWildWorld]

Great job, Jeven! So many tips packed into this one. Thank you!

[@Kiwi-j6i]

I rarely comment on videos but I just want to say that this is one of the best things I have seen in a long time. I understand photography and videography to a certain degree - probably better than most people that are not big into it - but everything you state here is relevant. Also Your eye for the cinematography element is insane. I always find this harder than getting balances of ISO, balance etc. much more difficult to achieve. The final part of your video where you put it all together is beautiful. Thank you for posting this. I hope more people get inspired by your very easy to understand descriptions of what you are doing and why.

[@elglobetrotter6445]

Great video and very thorough! Thank you so much Jeven solid work!

[@TerryMcBane]

Thanks for the great tips & tricks. Being new to drones and action cam's it's a been a big learning curve. Practice, practice, practice is all I can say. It's not perfect overnight but the more you go out and find different locations to fly and try the better you will get.

[@tguevara5]

Thank you so much for sharing your tips to people like myself who are now just learning about aerial drone videography. I have loved photography for many years and I can see that a lot of the techniques that I've used before also pertains to videography. After all, it's still a camera but with propellers. I can't wait to capture great footage soon! Cheers!

[@CHATZIANNA]

Great job Jeven! Thank you so much for your videos! You are really the best!

Most drones have many of these settings. The setup process would work for most drones, and is a great idea.

[@user-kp4rb4wu2t]

bro you're amazing. thanks for all of those informations . you explain them so simply . well done !

[@athirath]

Good Tips with detailed explanation.....Thank you Jeven !!

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Hello Jeven. Thank you for the excellent video on tips and tricks for shooting drone videos and images. Yes, the ole photography triangle solution. This was a perfect reminder to get out of auto mode and use the camera setting as they should be used. I always enjoy your filming at the Rock Monument since I'm not far from there in the neighboring harbor town. In fact, I went to the High School just down the street long before the buildout. Again, thank you for this helpful video that every drone pilot can use regardless of your drone. Take Care!

[@muddyboy9941]

Just bought my Mini 3 Pro (after so much disappointment with a GoPro Karma) and I love it. Yours is by far and away the best content for this camera. I'll be watching everything. Thanks so much !

[@Madddy68]

Thanks a lot for you tips an pro videos. Greetimgs from Switzerland

[@Sky_Pixelz]

Great Video, much appreciated

[@KrisLuckPhoto]

I agree for 30fps for social media. Most screens are divisible by 30fps, where 24fps on a phone or 60 hz monitor will have a weird jitter. i found making your timeline 30fps, and making your content in 30, 60, or 120 all works the smoothest together in a 30fps timeline. My drone shots used to be 24 fps and they never played well on youtube or instagram.

[@sebastian1055]

24fps is Hollywood Cinematic standard, why wouldn't you aim for that frame rate. That is my dilema. 25fps is the country standard where I come from.

[@pchevesp1989]

Thanks for this comment, it´s the main reason I landed on this video!

Nice and instructive as all your videos, THX!

Thank you for this. It has answered many of my questions about why my footage has been rather.... crappy. I only have the original mavic mini right now, as I just started this hobby, but I am looking forward to purchasing a mini 3 soon. Now if you will excuse me, I have a few more of your videos to watch.

[@steveparkins6854]

brilliant information, and so well presented and engaging Jeevan--thanks from oz! it would be great to get all your settings for Normal cine and sport, as a starting point🙏👍 esp for us mini 3 newbies

[@bwiles12]

Very good video, been trying to convince my friend to tune his mini 2 for smoother video but he doesn't care or understand the importance, great video, I learned alot.

[@Territorian]

Hey I have just purchased a Mini 3 Pro and so far loving it. Have been watching your tutorials on this drone and have noticed there has been an update and the advanced gimble settings has been linked with the exposure settings. I was just wondering if you have plans to update your tutorial to cover this new up date. Cheers

Hello from across the pond! I’m just starting with my first drone and your videos are a great help, is there any post shoot software you would recommend? Sorry if I’ve missed this on one of your other vids!

[@kalmychkov]

Great video! Which ND filters do you use with your mini 3?

[@curioussand1339]

That is probably the best explanation of camera settings I have ever viewed, especially the motion blur and ND filters aspects

[@user-vy7si5jz9o]

Thanks!!!! ❤

[@monkeymerv]

Question, if I select a shutter speed x2 of frame rate to get that lovely cinematic motion blur. How does speeding up the video in post in Premiere Pro affect the motion blur? which I sometimes do. Thanks, great content as always

[@derwentmotors]

Fantastic video. Thank you. I have an SD card in my drone but my recordings seem to want to use the small internal storage. How do I get drone sd card to store footage as at the moment its not recording anything? Thank you

[@DRONIXAR]

Nice tips

[@dishxpert]

These are good tips for a beginner and reminders for a pro! You kinda glossed over the part of moat interest to me which are the Gimbal and Exp settings

[@JevenDovey]

It really comes down to preference for those. I showed what you can change and from there it takes testing and playing with the settings to find what is best for you

[@dishxpert]

@@JevenDovey true but beginner has no such experience. Only folks like us.

Great video, one question: Do you Color correct the footage with some lut or just add saturation and contrast?

[@JevenDovey]

Yes I color graded my footage. Here's my guide for color grading: skl.sh/3s2jqYb

[@RafalGendarz]

@@JevenDovey but it’s not specific to the drone right? I was asking more about the drone

[@getfanmedia]

great

[@DucTaZenSurfer]

Thank you for making so much great content on the Mini Pro 3! I have a question, I don't have the "Advanced Gimbal Setting" on my RC Remote for some reason and everything has been updated as of yesterday when unpackaged and registered. Any thoughts? Thanks!

[@Terra-Moto]

Same here

[@Alpineglow]

You probably found the settings already but for those who haven't, they can be found in "Gain & Expo Tuning" just above.

[@1057MB]

As some have said the new gain & expo settings change the complete selections of your cinematic movement section, any chance there will ever be an update?

[@ethanmietzner5218]

Hi Jeven. I'm new to this. What coding format do you recommend with d-cinelike?

[@HC-ov2hh]

Jeven we need you at 1 million subscribers 🔥

[@rappy90]

As far as white balance goes would you still set a specific temp for a day with scatted clouds passing in front of the sun at various points? That certainly impacts the type of light

[@vladislavtolmachev2767]

Hi Jeven. Wondering if you have noticed any issue with ND filters after the latest update?

[@jonnanieminen8848]

If you shoot at 60 fps and you are not going to make it a slow motion video, then you should use the shutter speed of 1/60. Gerald Undone has made a great example video of this. Search for gerald undone motion blur

[@JevenDovey]

If you're not going to slow down your footage then you should shoot at 30 or 24 fps. Less data and you get the benefit of HQ mode

[@jonnanieminen8848]

@@JevenDovey well it depends what you are shooting. For fast action sports 60 fps is often better. What is HQ mode? By the way, the correct white balance for midday is 6500 K

[@jonnanieminen8848]

@@JevenDovey I almost always shoot 60 fps with the exposure of 1/60. The reason for that is that I can either simply drop every other frame for 30 fps timeline or make a slow motion. Of course in some fast moving scenes there will be too much motion blur but for many other shots it's perfectly fine to make it slower

[@thecwwshow8036]

What should it be if I want the image as clear as I can when I pause the video? I don’t really care about fancy filming more so just decent looks and explorations

[@Jadesfishing]

@@jonnanieminen8848 I’ve always shot at 5600 for middle day sun and footage looks great. I think your thinking if it’s cloudy out buddy :)

[@djhennessy7]

Bro, can you tell us are you using cooling for the mini3? Or the overheating is fixed with. a firmware update? Thanks!
