Hi John. Yep, no doubt the moment you start increasing or decreasing the amount of sky in your picture, the ground exposure changes enormously... Good tip. Cheers, Ian

[@Aaron_Rivas]

Gracias por la información, estaba buscando esos valores de configuración para poder hacer vídeos más fluidos!!!

[@EpicLib]

Is it OK if i post your video and main settings to my blog www.dronepilots.club ?

[@IaninLondon]

Hi fella. Sorry for the delay; this slipped thru. Yes, just go auto, then amend to manual. But you can adjust it directly in Manual until you're happy with what you see on the screen; it will stay locked at your last change. Cheers, Ian

[@IaninLondon]

Sure!! Share away fella. Just quote the channel as well please: kzbin.info Cheers, ian

[@kirbodisturbo1665]

Perfect video. Right to the point and no messing about with explaining things someone who is here already knows.

exactly. and i can't understand, why would anybody give this kind of content thumb down. only thing i can think of doing this, is some jealous youtuber(s), who can't get likes. there's always will be at least one, no matter what kind od stuff you put it out..

[@IaninLondon]

@@izoyt TBH thuimbs down don't worry me.... Any interaction is good and you'll always get some people who feel good by down thumbing... Have a look at my dogs in the snow and flying through the snow video... what is there to dislike lol... But you get a thick skin doing YT vids... It's all good 👍🏻👍🏻

[@billreeves5546]

Thanks. Perfect adjustments for my real estate videos. I like that your videos are short and to the point.

[@TomKreyche]

Nice concise description - thanks!

[@seeaclip]

This is an excellent video, especially for someone like me who is interested in flight as well as photography. It has helped me reorient my thinking toward my Mavic from “airplane with a camera” to “camera that flies”...a big difference. Thanks for making the video and as always thanks to Ted for defending the property line!

[@IaninLondon]

Aha... Thanks Rak. Glad you liked this, and stay tuned as I'm working on a follow up to this video on how to control your gimbal, camera and fly the drone at the same time.... Smooth Flying Techniques..That's coming soon... But I got the Mavic 2 Pro today, so that's suddenly taking up my time now! Ted helping out :) Cheers, Ian

[@kazzrich]

[@mikeplow1961]

@@IaninLondon You're welcome. I flew with your recommended settings this morning and am really pleased with the resulting footage. So good to have such a straightforward and informative channel.

[@anthonygosling8128]

Superb video, thanks👍

[@inbetweenland4395]

Thanks Ian just bought a Mavic 2 pro, I had done 3 years on a Parrot Anafi but up here it is constantly windy so the Pro 2 weight is ideal, it`s transmission and battery in comparison to the Anafi are night and day, you fly it with confidence and that is a big statement. The battery and transmission are solid . so you have time at the scene to plan shots, witch is what I am planning to do but to maximise it`s strenghth`s you really have to learn to control it, big drone as well, your reponsibilities as a pilot really sharpen with this as well, This video nails it on the head, that rotate left or right is the killer of all moves if it goes out of control, so them settings are ideal. With the new drone I will go a bit slower just to get used to move where I need to without hesitation, contol the flying is what gets the shot appreciated

[@IaninLondon]

Mavic 2 Pro is a truly solid beast. Check out my Iceland volcano vids; all filmed last year with the 2 Pro :)

Thanks, no guff .. clear and helpful

[@Michael_Lak]

You’re a great presenter. Thank you.

[@GolfTesla]

Thanks , I like the matter-of-factish tone in this clip (and the good image quality). No "marketing" and sales-person rap.. / It is amazing how much opportunities for "tweaking" the Mavic Pro/Air/Zoom offers - and it greatly helps to create nice footage (without requiring an extremely controlled thumbs and fingers movement). I use a Mavic Pro Platinum for my channel. Greetings from Switzerland

[@IaninLondon]

Very true. That's my only concern with the Air 2, that is uses the simpler Fly app, rather than the Go 4 app.... Let's see what it's like...

[@planetguam8475]

Bravo! Wonderful video. I searched YT for similar video's. Some spoke to fast, some way too slow, and some could barely speak English. Your video, I understood from A-Z without having to rewind.

[@ZENxTENinc]

When your on the EXP screen actually move the joystick and you will see how making the changes impacts the joystick.. the dot will move and follow the line and you will see / feel how much movement you have to do in order for dot to start moving.. super handy to see it while you test the movements.. also helps you see which of the 3 is adjusting what for sure..
