Learn the Art of the Dronie (Drone Selfie)

[@mlctallahassee]

You are the MAN w/ a drone! Your signature selfie is fantastic. I'm grateful for your contributions.

[@ManAndDrone]

Cheers Michael! No problem at all, thanks for watching.

[@itstheBMAC]

Another great video, MAD! Thank you so much for these tutorials - I greatly look forward to them!

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks mate that's great to hear!

[@beautifulcrispsounds6821]

drone selfie, hell yeah, i put togather this channel just to have a great sound library, and i know where im going to use your tips and sounds from my channel. awesome stuffs. keep em up.

[@LilDyno731]

Very informative. Thanks for showing us how to properly capture a dronie and editing videos. Subscribed!

[@checkeredflagfilms]

thanks. just a note (perhaps someone has already mentioned) you can turn down your playback quality/resolution to be able to play the effect(s) in real time. I see you have it set to 'full'.

[@ManAndDrone]

Cheers, yeah I know about that.. Problem is crappy h.264 files. A ProRES workflow is much better on playback ;)

[@checkeredflagfilms]

agreed. should be able to dial back the pro res (in my experience anyway) and playback in real time.

[@macfawlty]

Very nice shooting techniques and post prod. You go to some pretty amazing places.

[@geraldberliner5260]

Terrific video mate, thanks so much for all the time and trouble you put into all your vids. Very informative and helpful.

[@PrimaMediaIreland]

Your work is incredible, MAD! Really inspirational!

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks Buddy! 👍🏻

[@ancellrembang4338]

best tutorial i can't imagine...how much spot you had been made your footage very helpful about waypoint....yes you're right...straightline must be use waypoint

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks!

[@patpathinayake3586]

Very clear and informative instructions, thank you very much. Best of luck.

[@no_face_needed]

thanks for sharing more of your knowledge and experience. rock solid advice, tips and tricks. clear skies and smooth flies!

[@GloucesterMassachusetts]

Thanks for your thorough presentation - both your selfie footage and the screen recordings of the DJI Go screen whose distance and altitude readings I watched carefully to see how high and distant you sent your drone. My basic question: how many days or weeks of ownership before you felt confident enough to fly your rig that far away from and above you? DJI's are a pretty big $ investment. For me - after a month of ownership - I'm still wary of sending my drone high or far enough away that I can't clearly see and hear it....

[@danieldickson460]

Loved the tutorial, thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.

[@samleifeld4584]

Very cool shots! Keep it up

[@DBDagger]

So awesome M+D Guy. The follow up Premier Pro walk through was bonus #2 so spot on insightful, just what I needed to see for my recent self studies. Would love to fly with you sometime.

[@ManAndDrone]

No problem David! Great to hear.. Thanks for watching, keep it up! 🚁

[@alejandrofabila]

Incredible shots, regards from México.

[@DavidKatz]

Looks like you've flown in some awesome places. Great tutorial!

[@ManAndDrone]

Cheers!

[@latinblood0812]

que buen vídeo.. Amigo una pregunta mientras hago un video con mi Phantom 4 puedo tomar fotos sin interrumpir el video ?

[@terryandteresa]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for posting.

[@fUjiMaNia]

4:09 - 4:14 where was this filmed? Beautiful scenery.

[@Fadnho]

the first thing that i saw was beauty and epic location like most of us . then it hit me THE HIKE to and from. Prop to u man

[@ManAndDrone]

Cheers bro, yeah it's a good leg workout for sure!

[@Fadnho]

Keep up the good work will def pick up some stuff from your Tutorials

[@kyliandormand7427]

Amazing place and beautiful video 👍🔥

[@DeltadronesBr]

Awesome! Amazing places as well!!

[@robjeeves]

Nice tip about nesting. Did not know that. Thanks

[@Sharlenwar]

Amazing work, makes me want to go out and get a decent drone to do some great footage!

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks bro!

[@DronescApe]

thanks for sharing this video and tips mate, so give this a try out 👍

[@asad6244]

Can you list out the places (locations ) you've taken the selfies. They are breathtaking and I'd like to add them to my bucket list

[@debyton]

Fantastic...I would be great if you indicated the general locations of each video i.e. country, state, Park etc.

[@HunterCombs]

Someone please tell me how/what program you use to make that intro with the shaking and it looks like its lagging.

[@louisaklimentos7583]

Stunning footage love your work You would do an incredible job videoing The Kimberley Western Australia

[@iballiano]

so useful. I like so much using this kind of shot with the p3a. thanks!

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks a-lot! P3A is a cool drone. good video quality 👌🏻

[@LupaPeloMundo]

beautiful shots man

[@rafaelpetinesii7123]

Great video clip amazing fly

[@scottallen2190]

epic beard man!

[@stevekaboobiroo1479]

Incredible video, thanks for sharing.

[@ManAndDrone]

No probs Steve, thanks for checking it out 👍🏻

[@hiteshpurohit6883]

Can we take the same dronie shot in same way from mavic air... plz tell me.. i really want to take in such sport mode dronie shot but is it possible from maivic air and if yes then how.. plz sir help me with it

[@MichaelRiswandi]

How you change the focus from selfie to infinity? Or was it set to infinity since the beginning?

[@ManAndDrone]

Phantom 3 focus is infinity.

[@mogencheng3829]

i think adding a slow pan up to the shot would look even more epic

[@jlporter12]

Is their a way to get a dronie shot without the remote in your hand or having someone else do the shot for you? can you set it in hover mode and and set a timer to fly it away in selfie mode their by capturing the shot of you?

[@ManAndDrone]

Yes use Tap Fly or do the programmed waypoints mode as demonstrated in the video. Mavic Air has Dronie mode now too - Cheers

[@raulfuentes489]

I have no words for this

[@pranampatel]

Awesome, Double thumbs up!

[@johndominici7591]

This may be a dumb question, but how do you get your footage from the Phantom to be in widescreen? Mine always seems to come out as 4:3 or with small black bars on top and bottom. Trying to get true widescreen like yours for the cinematic effect. Thanks!

[@ManAndDrone]

Sounds like you have it in 4:3 aspect ratio.. watch my tutorial launching tomorrow 'Phantom 4 Best Video Settings' I run through setup there.

[@aleksmarkaerialvideosgr2824]

hallo from greece man you ar the best

[@ManAndDrone]

Cheers dude!

[@aleksmarkaerialvideosgr2824]

YUNEEC TYPHOON Q500+SUNSET-VIEW TO PORT PEIRAIAS GREECE this is the monument of Themistocles led by Greek sea battle of Salamis in 480 BC

[@346151295]

How you actually land your drone in extreme condition? Do you catch it by hands?

[@almilan7984]

Thanks for the tips, you're the Man!

[@filmowaniedronem551]

Your videos are realy EPIC!

[@mgaquer]

Very cool logo for the intro! How did you do that? In after effects?

[@pogi1933]

great vid!

[@rcmotoventure6974]

sir can i ask? i have a Phantom 3 Standard but i cant set a good video recording can you help me to set may video and camera settings? TIA!

[@ManAndDrone]

Hi, Did you check my Phantom 3 Tutorial? kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2XUcoWrdr9-pbM&lc

[@DJIDroneTravel]

Thanks for amazing tips 👍

[@KyleHammerquist155]

Nice vid. I believe that is the lions in the clip you are editing. I saw the chief as well

[@ManAndDrone]

Yeah bro - Good spot! 👌🏻

Thumbs up ere' M&D, very in depth information about Drone Selfie! My advice - don't forget to record! :-) Many thanks for spending the time and sharing the info - from Spain :-)

[@ManAndDrone]

Haha yes that good old record button! Hope to be back in Spain next Summer, thanks for watching! 👍🏻

[@alononthedrone1463]

Very nice view

[@felipe909562]

That is so sick!!!!

[@joshuamitton95]

Great video man, I just bought a drone and i think i might try a drone selfie sometime in the future! One question about travelling with your drone... do you check it in as hold luggage or take it on the plane as hand luggage?

[@ManAndDrone]

Hi Josh, it depends what you bought? I check the Inspire 2 as hold, but take batteries at 30% charge onboard in seperate Lipo or plastic sealed bags. If you have a Mavic or Phantom you should be able to squeeze it as carry-on, just make sure you check bag dimensions.

[@EarthwithTom]

Sorry if you did mention this during your video, but do you use sports mode? your drone seemed to be flying very fast haha

[@ManAndDrone]

Hi, no sports mode just P-GPS at full throttle

[@iballiano]

By the way... how far do you usually get when doing this shots? I think that they look nice when getting at least about 500mt away... in your videos I can see muuuch more distance!

[@ManAndDrone]

Yes precisely..go far 😉

[@luccasaettone4282]

what's the Sing a the beginning

[@ImLivingLikeLarry]

Can anyone help me out? I just bought a phantom 3 advanced and the camera view on my phone is about 5 seconds behind. How can I fix it? I have an iPhone 6. Everything is updated.

[@natserog]

awesome!! where are those opening shots taken?? amazing!

[@terryandteresa]

Great tutorial! Thank you!

[@danielhayes-domore]

awesome !

[@blinkaerial4056]

what songs being used?

[@amrinobipit]

What is the name of the music that u used in the intro?

[@ManAndDrone]

Should say end of the intro

[@sergiy6543]

Why don`t you use IOC mode with HomeLock?

[@paulgolden8183]

thanks so much for sharing. . brilliant mate..

[@ManAndDrone]

No problem.. Thanks for watching!

[@MasteringHow-To]

How do you do that intro. So nice man

[@ChrisParayno]

where did you get your intro? nice job!

[@ManAndDrone]

Just mashed a few clips together from Canada and Europe

[@Birdy-uh3jv]

What editing software do people use? I have Final Cut Pro on my mac

[@ManAndDrone]

Premiere CC, but yes Final Cut also good.

[@alantinkler6474]

brilliant, very informative

[@Chris_ka]

How do you make your icon-effects at the beginning? By the way: cool video! 👌🏼

[@ManAndDrone]

Hi there, it's done within After-Effects, I'll cover it sometime. Cheers! 👌🏻

[@carlosveny]

Hey man, how do you find the music you use in your videos?

[@ManAndDrone]

Hey Carlos, JungleAudio.net has a nice selection over there. 👍🏻

[@carlosveny]

Thanks! nice videos btw

[@AubreyHughes]

what is the audio for this track ? thanks :)

[@evakammerzell7263]

Nice to see my Home place in Faak am See in Austria😁

[@jamesaldrinvytiaco7648]

Hi, what drone are you using? :) thank you.

[@ManAndDrone]

Phantom 3 Pro and Phantom 4. Both now gone though. New Drone coming 2017 👍🏻

[@jamesaldrinvytiaco7648]

wow.. nice. thank you! :)

[@lioutas_productions]

amazing video man....

[@ManAndDrone]

Cheers!

[@FlyingDutchFenix]

Thanks for sharing it alway good to compare my technique with others😁 to be come a better pilot😉

[@ManAndDrone]

No worries, thanks for watching.. practice is the key... with a bit of luck too 😉

[@frankhe4832]

Truly perfect!

[@jackdoe4009]

Hey man, great video! Really educational. But where did you get this music from?

[@ManAndDrone]

Hi, thanks. From "AudioJungle".

[@jackdoe4009]

Cool. You've got yourself another subscriber. Keep up the dedication!

[@Efes87ONY]

Did you use Phantom 2 or better?

[@ManAndDrone]

Phantom 3 Professional for those shots.

[@Efes87ONY]

thanks :) did you check the actual range of it in metres? Sites shows different data so I'm asking for it cause I'm about to buy the same

[@ManAndDrone]

No problem.. It depends on various factors, if you don't have any local interference you should get over 2 miles but you should always maintain VLOS (Visual Line of Sight)

[@ViktorDavare157]

Fantastic video thank you i hope you come to vancouver island and then we can take my boat and make another epic Video

[@ManAndDrone]

Cool! Yeah that would be sweet!

[@ManAndDrone]

My Gear used to make it possible : www.kit.co/mananddrone

[@visidroneproject8987]

The best!

[@chrismcmillan948]

Are you still within LOS at those distances? If not how do you overcome the basic rules? (Or don't you!?)

[@ManAndDrone]

Hi, yes I always like to maintain VLOS, you have to it's in the CAA rules can't speak for every country though, depends where you are.

[@borregoimages8117]

The obligatory flying away from yourself shot. Haha. These locations are phenomenal.

[@terryandteresa]

The gimbal control is the hardest part I think!

[@amrinobipit]

N'th DEGREE DRONE: u don't need to control the gimbal, u just need to move up (20%~40% of stick) and back (100% of stick) then u will get the perfect dronei.

[@terryandteresa]

Very cool!!

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks!

[@sylerchurch7232]

what drone do you use?

[@ManAndDrone]

These shots are Phantom 3 Pro, but I now use Inspire 2 X5s

[@sylerchurch7232]

Thanks

[@dronevision7664]

awesome...congrats

[@ManAndDrone]

Cheers!

[@yantorizkiyanto]

I love it

[@MrPicoSun]

Wow is all I can say.

[@rokketron]

Thought it was illegal to fly over any highway in the UK!

[@clicjaime6270]

The Big It Up ;-)

[@Nilz4FR]

How many Drones have you "lost" on your journey bro?

[@ManAndDrone]

None, had two die on me though.

[@DVZM.]

here are some tips from me to make even better dronies than showed in this video 1. use the ultimate flight app for android and use the selfie mode so that you dont have to hold the remote controll in your hand 2. before the drone starts to take the selfie by itself, stretch out your hand so that it looks on the footage, like you would take a selfie with a phone 3. Edit in premiere pro with time variable speed here you have a really amazing dronie! :D

[@TheNightsharper]

any love for apple users? :(

[@3DJapan]

It's great that you can get to all those amazing places. My drone footage is much less impressive.

[@DigitalJournalist]

Remote control wrecks the shot every time.

[@RSmith1982]

You don't need to have the controller in hand if you do it right, otherwise it's more like a "dorkie" than a dronie to those who don't play with drones.

[@simongentry]

thank you so much for sharing !!! Remember - TFRs can land you in jail with a $10k fine + drone seizure - be careful + thoughtful + maintain VLOS

[@pizzeriabufala]

The Parrot SkyController is a lot more sophisticated that that DJI controller
