How to Capture Epic Drone Footage

[@robjeeves]

Bro these vids are awesome. What I really like is how long and relaxed your style is. Don’t get me wrong. Quick tips are good but your vids are more, make a cup of tea and set aside some time to really savour and become engrossed in the subject 👌

[@ActionMediaProductions]

As a "ground" cinematographer, and new drone owner (first flight tomorrow), I have to say that this is the most professional drone tutorial I've watched...and I'm sure I've exceeded 200 of them. The information is well-presented in a calm, classy and dynamic style. I subscribed, and I'll look for you on other platforms as well.

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks buddy, good to know! Hope my future tutorials come in handy too.

[@martikiv989]

13:51 WHAT A SHOT! incredible

[@mxstylie312]

Hello from California. I just want to say thank you for your videos, I recently purchased an Inspire 1 for some of my work and your videos have greatly reduced my learning curve. Confidence is so important and I have had to learn that through my first few flights (I have 6 so far) hearing you reinforce this point in this video really makes sense to me. Your work is very appreciated and I wish the best for your future projects.

[@ManAndDrone]

Hi mate, great to know. Plenty more tutorials coming. Should be in Cali within a few weeks!

[@mxstylie312]

If you're in the Temecula area (Socal) send me a message if you want to go try and meet up for a flight. Take care man..

[@guiabruno]

You have beautiful scenes to film. Who had given me my city, Recife / Brazil, had these natural beauties that exist at his disposal. lucky you! But beyond the scenes, you have technique and talent. I'll get there one day. congratulations!

[@JoseARubio]

Fantastic !!!! This video deserves much views that it has, absolutely great work!

[@ManAndDrone]

Cheers Jose!

[@Bobster986]

One other important point you forgot, horizon line, it must alway look straight and level. This can be achieved by simply using the gimbal roll adjustment on the controller.

[@3lmo2004]

One of the best drone tips and tricks videos so far. So stoked you cover the filters as well. Really nice job.

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks Wayne 👍🏻

[@robertcalloway6685]

Your one of my favorite - go to guys. This video is worth multiple views. Keep up the good work

[@ryanmcnamara2242]

Wonderful video - Thanks. The opening & closing sequences (& editing) were stunning

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks a lot, glad you liked.

[@user-qn9if1pi8e]

Wonderful👍.Nice sharing👍👍Stay connected🔔🔔👍🤝😍😍😍

[@jonnylingga7790]

valuable lessons, I grew my flying skills using those techniques and it really works. great job, mate!

[@ManAndDrone]

Good to know, thanks!

[@SilasWilloughby]

Amazing intro

[@okende11]

Very nice, sound, and professional advice. Your footage is breathtaking.

[@ManAndDrone]

Cheers!

[@AZGeek520]

Thanks very much for an excellent tutorial --- and pointing us to some very nice music to round out our productions.

[@kevincameron8437]

Good stuff here..As a newbie drone guy, I'm always looking for stuff to improve my videos...Now I just need the time to practice, practice and practice some more...

[@ManAndDrone]

Good-Luck with it! 👍🏻

[@DJChesley]

I think I even used the same track on my last video that you did on one of yours... Really you are inspiring lots of new drone pilots!

[@ManAndDrone]

That track your on about is from my Canada True North video as it has my wind SFX overlaid. Be careful with Copyright laws. Both the Sound Effect & Track are licensed. Music is from MusicBed.com and sound effects from JunlgleAudio.net

[@cosmovies8183]

Can you give the name of music ? Thanks!

[@samadair7019]

Great Video tutorial - goes right in line with your previous instructional videos. Just getting started in the aerial video services. My expertise currently lies in safety video surveys of construction sites - not much "talent" required for this, but hopefully I can put in some creative cuts with my P4 as confidence grows. Keep up the great tutorials - more flying examples would be great - always love seeing creative work!

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks Sam, appreciate the time for the comment! Hope you are able to capture some creative content along the way. 🚁👍🏻

[@skyrendermedia-aerialphoto571]

Wonderful tips! Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

[@ManAndDrone]

No probs!

[@AF-ei7bk]

Hello, congratulations on your channel. I would like to know how I can create patterns with symbols or other conventions of Scenes and Sequences. Is there a method to schematize camera movements and the drone path? Thank you.

[@ShootLuckGaming]

I have flown in -20c whilst light snowfall, it looks nice, but the condensation and the build of ice in very little time is dangerous

[@BradBashamphotography]

Thank you!

[@mikekay6288]

Thank you; top tutorial. I have a Phantom 1 with no gimbal or camera. I'm thinking of securing an action camera to the drone and attempting some limited aerial photography using video and time lapse. How successful can this be without a smart phone and DJI settings in the drone? Mike in Oz

[@Bobster986]

Great video tutorial! Really liked the use of description narrative and actual example footage. Keep them coming!

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks dude, will do! 👊🏻🚁

[@kevinhudson6256]

Great info man! Thx for sharing all of these tips and tricks Man and Drone! Your stuff rocks!

[@skylinephotography698]

Epic video mate, brilliant.

Good advice - planing being the main one! Many thanks for sharing the information as it helps us all :-)

[@ManAndDrone]

Cheers Shaun! 👍🏻

[@travelwithus2there198]

Sorry, where are the tutorials 1 through 4 that are mentioned? Thanks

[@ManAndDrone]

Hi - Those tuts are quite old now you can probably still access them through the Man And Drone website by checking the earlier blog posts. Much better tutorial series being released next month. You can sign-up to the e-mail notice on the website for notification. Cheers!

[@macfawlty]

Very nice locations and footage. Solid tutorial. The 6-pack of polar pro filters is comprehensive except it's missing the ND64, which I've used more than the 32 and 16. Not many opportunities to use anything less than a 16 if you want low shutter speeds.

[@GISMOTELA]

PERFECT-PERFECT-PERFECT!!!!!!!!!YOUR ARE BEST!!!!!THANKS.........

[@mgr5550]

The number one point should be "Pick awesome locations". :) Im yet to see a video on how to shoot awesome footage of a dingy resort, cluttered up places, fungus roofs, etc. LOL.

[@losmi3573]

i have the Dji Phantom 3 SE (with 4k camera) but the quality of my shots isn't even close to yours.. how do you get such HD videos?! We have the same camera don't we?

[@rmusick60]

Terrific tips thanks for sharing!

[@ephotosaver]

Very inspiring video you said have confidence and trust in your equipment this is very true

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks Charles!

[@rafacq]

Beautiful video tutorial! Thanks for the suggestions and tips.

[@ManAndDrone]

No worries Ralph - Hope they work out for you.

[@rafacq]

I have a lot to learn. I've only had my Spark for a week and in the hot Texas summer, it is not ideal flying conditions. Looking forward to the fall and better temperatures to enjoy my drone. Looking forward to watching some of your other videos.

[@LordNeoZ]

As always, a pleasure to see your footage and the great explications of every technique. Thanks a lot!

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks for watching! 👍🏻

[@JimmyOlsson]

absolutely awesome tutorial! So inspiring! 👍👍👍👍

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks for the kind words Jimmy! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@TheChrisjge]

Great advice, thank you.!

[@droneuk]

Nice info and insight, thanks for sharing

[@samuelcaslick2914]

Awesome thanks for the tips pal!

[@itstheBMAC]

This was uploaded on my birthday! Best birthday present a drone owner could ask for! Thanks, Man And Drone!

[@ManAndDrone]

Your welcome, and belated happy birthday!

[@redappletv222]

Nice and very informative video Man. Subscribed and liked.

[@Bringinheat]

Slick work with the edits

[@KeerthiChandanJillepally]

Awesome tips, thank you.

[@MikeNowacki]

Great idea. Is this the "DJI project" you mentioned in your personal vlog?

[@ManAndDrone]

Hi Mike, not sure what your referring to?

[@MrPicoSun]

Gorgeous!

[@jefje2186]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@Maximilan20]

AWSOME AWESOME AWESOME VIDEO. What is the opening and closing music plz?? the last part with the cut/jump scene was ever so EPIC!!!

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks for the kind words Maximilan. Opening Music is by 'Audio Pizza - EPIC Adventure' closing music is 'Fractures by Kari Siguardson'

[@ErikThureson]

Well Done! Keep up the good work!

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks Erik, will do!

[@AcesUpMedia]

Great informative video for pilots at any level! I love your work and your channel is amazing!

[@ManAndDrone]

Cheers mate!

[@ChrisKamberis]

Great piece. Did you post process the blades out in any of this footage? Or at 14:50 more specifically?

[@ManAndDrone]

Hey Chris, Thanks. To be honest I fly carefully so that blades don't appear in picture. You could also fly backwards then reverse the footage in post ;)

[@cowtipper46]

Where are tutorials 1-4? Did you remove them in anticipation of your course?

[@livingskiesaerialphotograp5941]

Great info. I have practiced your techniques :)

[@canada1512]

Great video. Thank you. I just got a phantom 3 standard. I'm having trouble uploading footage to KZbin,footage is not in 2.7 k but. 720 or 1020.

[@ManAndDrone]

Hi, try my 'Best Settings Tutorial' : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIbPpIRrbMSphZY

[@canada1512]

Man And Drone thanks I Will

[@champion11ish]

Brilliant work - I have tried my P3 Pro in various settings but never as good as this. Is it originally shot in 4K?

[@ManAndDrone]

Hi Tim, yeah mostly shot in 4k 30fps from the P3 Pro.. and then downscaled to 1080p for the tutorial. Cheers

[@PassodopoPasso]

Thanks man.. this would be really helpfull for a drone noob like me.

[@ManAndDrone]

Cool, few more coming soon! 👍🏻

[@H20Spy]

Outstanding information!!

[@droneshots8655]

wow amazing!!

[@laquiladimare]

Great man! Thank you very much! :)

[@DronemanfromNepal]

Amazing

[@LightSportMan]

What settings and style are you using

[@goodtime125]

Hi there One of the best tips I've found on KZbin, SUBSCRIBED! One question, what Apple software that you use for planning the shots? Didn't see it clearly, is it planet photograph ?

[@ManAndDrone]

Thank you. It's an App called 'Plan It for photographers' on both IOS and Android. Cheers

[@usmclongrangebrainsurgeon]

Awesome tips. Great video

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks for watching Oisin 👍🏻

[@johhny303]

great tutorial thanks for sharing.

[@ManAndDrone]

Cheers!

[@maxzabarovsky1890]

Hello Man! Pretty straightforward explanation and very useful video. How do you usually find your customers? Or do they find you via your website? thank you!

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks, usually they find me through all social medias. 👍🏻

[@heli10]

I see you mainly shoot at 30ps /ISO 100 /SHUTTER 60 do you find this gives you the best results? BTW great videos fella👍

[@ManAndDrone]

Hi thanks, For me yes and I can always change to 25fps within Premiere CC if I need to. If you soot 1080p then there's nothing wrong with 1080p 60fps too. Same for 25fps.

[@frankhe4832]

Thank you very much for sharing such valuable tutorial!!!I It's very useful.

[@fpv-projects1117]

Very good, awesome shots and tips, thanks!! :) I liked the "Pyramiedenkogel" you filmed near the Wörthersee cause I live 5 min from there :) Do you have some tips for planning apps for IOS too?

[@ManAndDrone]

Hey thanks, nice place to live! IOS apps... well you can still get 'Plan it' for photographers on both platforms. I just use that really as it covers most things like sunrise and sunset 👍🏻

[@JamesAnderson-bz4cg]

Excellent tutorial and advice. Thank you, subscribed. And you're in the U.K. Too, 👍

[@10mmmaaa10]

In 14:18 you are filming in 4k@30fps, how can I film with this setting on my Phantom 3 Pro? The only option for 4k is 24fps on the app

[@ManAndDrone]

Choose UHD 3840x2160 then you will have the option for 30fps. That's what i shoot.

[@stevenperrelli5785]

I have a phantom 3 standard. I would like to do time lapse but when I go into the photo mode it only says single burst aeb, and timed shot ( which I have tried and just takes like 20 photos) we have called dji and they were no help. Can you tell me what is wrong @man with drone

[@stevenperrelli5785]

@man and drone**

[@skylergreene7404]

thanks, super helpful.

[@k999gmxnet]

Superb! Thanks!

[@SilasWilloughby]

What's the music from the intro?

[@ManAndDrone]

Audio Pizza - EPIC Adventure

[@Quad8ightMix]

Hi sir, What video effects did you use on 16:24.?

[@fpvbreakfast]

Excellent and informative! I notice you like 30fps. I've been shooting 60fps @ 1/120, 1080P. Would you recommend I shoot 2.7K @ 30fps, 1/60 for improved output quality which is exported at say 24fps, 1080?(P3A) Cheers!

[@ManAndDrone]

Hi Greg, thanks for checking the tutorial out. 2.7K is advantageous if you find your composition on some shots is out and you think it could be improved. Say you are filming a person walking and you frame them in the middle but would prefer it if they were actually on the left slightly. 2.7K would allow you to scale down and move it around within that 1080x1920 window. Output quality is determined by bitrate on H.264 so where's the footage going? If KZbin 1080 @ 25Mbps. This tutorial is 1080p @ 25Mbps VBR Pass 2. High Profile 5.1 @ Max Quality.

[@fpvbreakfast]

Man And Drone Excellent! Thank you so much for your guidance! Greatly appreciated! I'm looking fwd to your next epic video!

[@iballiano]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Amazing and inspiring!

[@ManAndDrone]

No Problem dude, thanks for checking it out! 👌🏻

[@DangiaWild]

Great work! ;)

[@Svoboda119]

Very useful information, I loved the video! What drone are you using for these shots?

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks! These shots are just with the DJI Phantom 3.

[@cesara7352]

just amazing. thanks.

[@ManAndDrone]

Cheers!

[@DarthGold]

Excellent video, how do i keep the horizon horizontal, sometimes my drone is slightly off and this makes the whole shot look slanting

[@ManAndDrone]

Which Drone? I had the problem with the Phantom 3's and 4's. Bring the drone down, power off, power on after a minute or so, re-calibrate compass, launch again.. usually works for me.

[@DarthGold]

I was using the phantom 3, now im using a mavic but still the same problem, ill try the power off and then on again method, thanks very much. Keep up the great work

[@DJIDroneTravel]

Great tips thanks :)

[@paulhughes2268]

congratulations! Very good.

Thanks!

[@paulwrest1778]

Thank you

[@michaelholzwarth5450]

What is the song title of your EPIC intro edit ? Nice work great vid, new sub

[@SchwalmPictures]

Interesting video!

[@DeltaTristar500]

how do you make the determination to use D Log or None?

[@ManAndDrone]

Hi, well D-Log was better on the P3 than P4.. but neither are true LOG formats. Using 'None' is usually the better choice for the Phantom range to maintain as much information as possible, Cinelike and Art okay too.

[@visidroneproject8987]

Wooo great!!!

[@DroneSquadRobotics]

nice video frienddd

[@stevewhite8211]

Which ND filter do you like most?

[@ManAndDrone]

Hi Steve, My fav is ND8.

[@nicholaskilleen9985]

Some great tips there. Are you based in Vancouver?

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks. Ahh no NZ. but perhaps Alberta next Summer

[@AivoTV]

cool tips! I subscribed, but I have just one question. How well does the drone fly in cold weather? I'm planning on maybe getting one.

[@ManAndDrone]

Thanks! I've had the Phantom 3 and 4 in -10°C The batteries will drain about 20% quicker, otherwise than handle the cold ok. Anything more than -10 forget it IMO. Inspire 2 drone has built in battery heater so that's a solution although a very expensive one.

[@AivoTV]

Okay, thanks. I live in Finland so it could get pretty cold..
