A really good one I currently use when filming for my clients is spotlight mode As a result, you can adjust the drone’s altitude, distance, or circle around, and the Mini 3 Pro will constantly adjust the camera to face the object you selected , what I love is you can get it to circle at a set speed in one direction and while its filming you can then reverse the direction and also move up and down , I've got some really good footage from doing this... worth mastering for sure.

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

You know Jason, I completely agree. I've just been filming this week and I used a location point and POI so I could walk through the movement while adjusting the altitude. Awesome. Thanks for sharing your tips 😉

[@ThePanningPhase]

You are the man!! That was extremely helpful to a young cinematographer❤

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

Thanks buddy, I really appreciate that.

[@MagicBiscuitShow]

That falcon really wanted to know what was going on, eh? Looks like it was a good area (s) and nice day to drone. Cheers, Chuck (Northeast Florida USA) : +)

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

Hi Chuck, yes it's lovely here in St Albans UK. It dates back to the Romans, then the Norman's knocked down their wall and built the Cathedral about 1500yrs ago. Interestingly at first I only saw the drone footage which stopped recording when it detected an object. When I was editing I dropped in the screen recording which continued only to see the Falcon come in and turn with its claws out as if coming in to grab it's prey or at least a serious warning shot. Funny thing is we have lots of Red Kites around here and I've been trying to film then which has been impossible.

[@realimages4u]

Glad to find this video on Asteroid shots - I have a lot of trees in the way for most shots of homes. Now I will try starting the shot from birdseye looking down. But I will be ready to press stop just in case - Thanks!

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

Sounds like a good plan 😉

[@tdog2225]

Just smooth Tim, really smooth.

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

Thanks, that's the look I was going for 🤣

[@CruiseLife22]

Hi Tim! So when performing any of these shots, will the drone just carry out the shots and return to home? Can you intervene and bring the drone back early? Also, will the drone pick up obstacles and avoid or would you just need to make sure you are out in the open enough to carry out these shots? I noticed the cathedral may have trees nearby so would you need to assess the shots you could carry out in that location? Many thanks Pete

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

Hi Pete, yes it will RTH but you can Override that. If you intervene the quickshot stops and you take over, obstacle avoidance works but min 3 pro has no side avoidance like the mini4 pro so be carful. Always set up shots safely to avoid people and objects and keep line of Sight so you can always see it. Make sure you're not disturbing people or wildlife. I've made all these mistakes and have learnt as I've gone.

[@CruiseLife22]

@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency Many thanks for the advice Tim. The seagulls are the only issue round here :o)

@CruiseLife22 they'll definitely try and take out your drone if you're not careful 🤣

[@damassine]

Nice and instructive video. Is it possible to adjust the speed for a quickshot „circle“ ?

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

I don't believe so. I found if I'm to far away it takes forever ever. So I get closer. I also film 50fps and then I can slow down any sections in post. If you try and increase speed with the sticks it will stop the 360

[@Ridema100]

[@user-yx3vq3ub1e]

Thanks a lot for your explanations. I have a question: is it possible to record at 25 Fps with quickshots?

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

That's a good question, I can't remember, I'm out filming tomorrow, I'll try and remember to do a quick test. I know it is limited, like you can't do a flat log which h is a shame.

Hi Tim can you tell me what type of mobile phone tri pod stand you have and were you brought it if you don't mind me asking. As I am looking for a good one like yours as am just starting out setting things up. All your videos are very inspirational to watch full of knowledge in great detail keep up the great footage.

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

Ah that makes sense.

[@IslandDigital]

Hello, I have an interesting question. I am a Drummer. I make multicam videos of me playing Drums. My question is can I make any quick shot or perhaps make a waypoint mission that will circle me as I play drums above me and/or bring it lower with a radius that circles me ? Can I also control the speed it’s circling me as well. I would then later edit it into my video as an angle to go to. Does the Avata 2 have these features as well so I can do this indoors? Thanks VERY MUCH

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

Don't know about Avata and would be super dangerous to use any auto settings indoors. Plus it wouldn't work as you have no GPS indoors. Outside, use waypoints. In my last video '10 DRONE MOVES' the last bonus move i demo waypoints. I also have a detailed separate video on waypoints to check. What area do you fly in?

[@donvanvliet9477]

Just started with the Mini 3 Pro and this is SOOO helpful and better than the stuff that comes with the drone. Newbie question, did you ask anybody's permission to take those shots of the cathedral and launching, I assume, from the cathedral grounds? I know you are OK CAA wise. Many thanks.

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

Hey buddy, good question. As long as you take off from a location where you are not on the grounds of e.g. National Trust ground, and still have VLOS Visual Line of Sight and respect privacy, then you're all good.

[@donvanvliet9477]

@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency Super, many thanks.

It is posible to Edith duration of the shoot?

Sorry don't quite understand

[@SteveG4YTK]

Tim thanks for your time in making these videos. I have a question, I took my Mini 3 pro for a flight this afternoon flying around a castle. I set up quick shot circle mode and it started off slow around 3/4 way around the castle it accelerated in speed still travelling in the circle. I tried this 3 times and it kept happening. I thought when I flew it before in this mode the speed was constant. Any idea thanks.

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

Hi Steve, yes, I believe what is probably happening is the drone is being affected by the wind, so one leg of the route is downwind. Although the drone should balance this out, they are small and light. I've noticed this myself but much less so on my Air 3 which is 3 x the weight and more powerful. Do you remember it being a bit breezy?

[@SteveG4YTK]

@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency Thanks for the reply. I did not notice any wind. I checked the flight log on Airdata and its starts of at 6mph and at the same point during the flight accelerated to 18 mph. It done that 3 times. I have just chatted with DJI and the will check the log and get back to me. Very odd

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

@stevehopleyg4ytk647 OK,that's interesting. Please do let me know what you find out 🕵‍♂️

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

Just a thought, im sure your flight log won't show the wind speed and its showing the speed of the drone. You might not have noticed the wind at ground level but at eg 400' it will be a fair bit stronger.

[@SteveG4YTK]

@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency Hi I have had a reply to log flight from dji This is what they said. Upon checking my log.The speed of the Quick Shot video shooting process cannot be set manually. In order to achieve the final film effect and according to the distance of the subject, the aircraft will automatically adjust the speed. It is normal for the speed to become faster, and it is not shot at a constant speed.

[@KristinaMuldoon]

That could have been an interesting one to explain had you caused reckless harm to a nesting, legally protected species.

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

Oh boy! You're not wrong. I had no idea. I'm keeping well clear.

[@jct4111]

Do quick shot modes work at night time in the dark?

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

Hi buddy, they would, in theory. The only problem you may have is you're selecting a target for each manoeuvre and that can be unreliable in the dark.

[@jct4111]

@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency thanks for the reply. I was thinking like a floodlit tennis court at night and going above and using some of the quick shot modes.

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

In theory that would work. It will be a balance of the drone being close enough to work and avoid obstacles. Remember there no side avoidance on the mini. So trial and error test.

[@jct4111]

@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency thanks a lot I will give it a try

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

[@photonatureengland8895]

I would be worried that the Peregrine falcon knocked into my drone. I often do my shots manually, but I think, quick shots offer a way to get a more Professional look shot.

[@SlipstreamCreativeAgency]

I was pleased I didn't hurt the Falcon, I had no idea they were there. So staying clear. We have a lot of Red Kites, and they're quite common now. I have tried filming them but found it impossible. How are you getting your shots?

[@photonatureengland8895]

@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency I normally use my drone for filming buildings & structures. I can film or take pictures of large animals and get close enough without disturbing them, but for birds and small animals, I use my handheld P950 camera.
