6 Tips To Improve Your DRONE Footage

[@ianebler]

This is probably the best made drone tutorial I've watched. Thanks Jake, this was spot on. Looking forward to seeing a drone movement tutorial

[@musicfordronevideos]

Yes this is really good Ian. I learned a lot Jake 💪 thanks

Rule #1: Actually GO to somewhere worth filming with a Drone. Rule #2. See Rule #1.

[@FearlessDreams]

That's so true! Or just find things to fly through.

[@keagannelka5137]

Rule number 3 follow the airspace rules in your country and don't do anything stupid

[@bricktown3156]

and buy a mavic 2 pro 😂

[@FearlessDreams]

@@bricktown3156 the best ever!

[@GregQuillen]

That's the hardest part

[@MoviesSam]

The bottom line to improving your drone footage is to go to beautiful locations like those in your video, but your tips are still very useful. Thanks.

[@thomasbetschart1801]

Guess the editing is another important factor ;-)

[@davidasamoah2366]

I agree. The location you choose also helps improve your drone footage

[@mudassirshahzadkk]

1 - 2:15 Shoot in D-LOG if possible 2 - 2:44 Use F4 if using Mavic 2 Pro with Polar PRO ND Filter -> Aperture: F4, 30FPs, 1/60th shutter speed. 3 - 3:06 Use ND Filters. Use shutter speed to be double of frame rate. Example 24fps should have 1/50th shutter speed. 4 - 4:17 Use 30 fps for smooth movements. 5 - 5:20 Achieve smooth movements. Avoid jerks.

[@LuisMarquez80]

Shoot in golden hour and everything looks epic.

[@DavidGallardo]

True

[@AlSo-Fotografie]

@@brettgaramella oooh i would love to see some example videos and images. do u have a webside?

[@ramymelhem]

What color temperature do you set your drone at during golden hour?

[@froznfire9531]

@@ramymelhem usually just sunny, so 5200k... but you experiment, try cloudy, so 5500k or maybe 4500k...

[@ramymelhem]

@@froznfire9531 set it at 5200K even though the sunset creates 2200K light? That part messes me up. The refraction off the clouds will create more of the cooler purples so maybe it averages the temp up a bit?. I have indeed experimented with different temperatures and they all look good in different ways. But i always have to mask above and below the horizon to alter the temperatures of the ground because it ends up looking way too blue when I set my temperature in camera to the sky. I guess I'm asking what the general rule is haha

[@kennyh_3]

For anyone not yet enrolled in the course, I highly recommend it. I joined about a month ago and it's worth it in every sense. Great content, extremely responsive and they add new content all the time.

[@markgeoff222]

the only channel that doesn't recommend Mavic air 2 over the Mavic pro 2. Man I love the honestly on this channel, pls keep it this way !

[@3lementa1]

I've watched tons of other tips and tutorials on drone footage the past year after I bought me a Mavic 2 Pro. But this is by far the best all arounder out there. Every info I've got from those videos came in place after watching yours. Thank you so much. Subscribed. :)

[@PeterKae]

Epic drone shots ! In my opinion smartphone shots + orange and teal LUT on top almost has the same cinematic effect.

[@jkspinalchoice]

Excellent video! One of the best drone videos I have seen!! Thank you!

[@lucrari6830]

@@ke4uyp Please do not believe this. It is so wrong that it's getting funny... The noise in his "tests" does neither come from the shutter or aperture. It's coming from the program which is trying to brighten it all up. High ISO definitely produces noise. In every case. I can't believe that this is his real opinion. It needs to be an april fool...

[@helodriver20]

It's a fantastic course.

I believe the #1 unspoken tip is have an amazing scene to shoot. My backyard looks nice but a waterfall is going to look like a more professionally shot every time.

[@nickballa853]

Been looking for ways to improve my drone game slightly and these are a great start! Thanks!

Great tips brother! I am about to head out to the Rocky Mountains to do some drone filming for a new video I am making :)

[@jv8studios]

Awesome to hear! and How are you getting on with you drone works now? it would be great to see some works!

[@ilyaIvanov_personal]

Hands down, one of the best tutorials about drones on KZbin.

[@ksteneide2]

Parker nailed it by bringing Jake onto the team. This is by far the best video tutorial content on KZbin.

[@MattFreestonePictures]

Fantastic tips which I agree with, although in tests, I've found D-Cinelike to be as good as D-log for grading, but it gives a slightly less flat image to look at whilst shooting, which helps with judging exposure correctly. Thanks for the great video!

[@MattFreestonePictures]

I also subscribed. Many thanks!

[@PaulSmith-mh2yq]

My wife's just given me a 2 Pro for Christmas. Thanks for a really great intro to it.

[@thesmallface]

Despite knowing composition and the general tips for recording any type of video, this is super useful for someone who's just picked up their first drone. Thanks a lot!

I appreciate the to-the-point pro tips you offered. Some are out there for a joy ride which I do sometimes too. But this helps me know what potential clients might expect and hone those pro skills.

[@James69Holden]

Great video, using almost the same settings on my Mavic 2 Pro! Can you please share also the following? - sharpening - contrast - saturation

[@HasAfzal]

All of those can be edited in post as your shooting in a flat profile.

[@paulbanerjee2078]

I love your sense of humour! I don't know much about drones but am a writer and I am writing an article on drones. You explained the technical stuff so well that even I could understand most of what you were talking about! You made me laugh when you said "...raise the shutter speed that will also make your footage look like garbage." Nice, informative video. Thanks!

I was almost about to order Mavic Air 2, not anymore after seeing this, thanks Jake and Parker.

[@JordanPritchard]

Srujan Babu yeah they made a good argument for the magic pro 😀

[@joelbechtolt]

You might want to try a Mavic Air 2 first. They're pretty rad and there are videos here on KZbin that do side by side of the footage. There are a few things that the Air 2 is superior at.

[@schwartzbrothersmedia]

This is by far the best channel on KZbin. I've been subscribed for a while, and you guys keep coming out with useful information. Most channels just start talking about themselves because they don't have anything useful to say anymore. Keep up the great work! Do you know if the original Phantom 4 also has 10 bit color in D-Log? Thanx! P.S. I love the new additions. Landon, Jake, keep it up.

Best video of drone I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing all these tips!

[@ramymelhem]

I might have missed my window for Parker to respond, but maybe a question to the masses. What is the best Color temperature setting for golden hour on the drone? I've been setting mine to 5400K and then masking the sky and ground separately to grade separately. I warm up the ground colors by adding a bit of orange temperature because at 5400K things below the horizon appear way too blue, but the sky looks nice. Of course, I tweak the shadows, exposure, saturation,etc to make each mask layer look really good. I'm just wondering if I'm setting the best Color temperature to capture the best colors.... What's the optimal rule to follow at golden hour.

[@Krutov2]

I love the train sequence!

[@MattJelonek]

This is brilliant. Thanks so much.

[@TheAdkFlyer10]

This tells me that the best drone is the Air 2S. 1 inch sensor? Check... Ability to shoot 4k at 60 fps? Check... Only con? Fixed aperture of f2.8, but not a con as the higher apertures produce "softer" images anyway. Great video, btw!

Park Walkback is that kind of guy who gives us pure content. Not the kind of guy who shows 1-2 minutes scratching his butt and telling his life or showing logo for 1-2 minutes. Out of 40 minutes he will give you pure content. . Watch at least 100 times and let your drone outside and u inside ! Mostly for now :-)!
