Thanks for sharing your workflow. It sure taught me a few things. I'm new at this and have yet to land my first paid gig. In the meantime I've asked a few people if I could take pictures and video of their homes in order to create a portfolio. It's good practice too. I have an Air 2 S, so use a darker ND filter for video, which means one flight for photos, then another for video. I'm excited to be doing this!

[@Bobi-ow6ou]

Beautiful project, would you recommend DJI Mavic mini 3pro for this kind of work? Or DJI Mavic 2 pro

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Both are great! I’d rather have the m3p if i were buying a new drone since it’s so small and can do vertical too. M2P still does a little better with dynamic range for video I think but for most cases m3p is just the right amount from what I’ve seen.

I think variable aperture is about the most overlooked feature on a drone. I love my mini 3 pro, but next drone I add to the fleet will 100% have that feature.

[@davybloggs1564]

Jared - Absolutely agree. As an ex pro photographer, I miss an adjustable aperture on my Air 2S, and have many shots now, ruined with a shallow DoF. It is THE reason why I'm selling it for a Mavic 3

Super helpful video! Question for you…do you use Normal mode or Cine mode for your real estate shoots?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

I like the cinematic mode for video since it really helps smooth out movements for me at least since I like filming in 24fps. I switch back and forth though if I’m doing photos so it’s a little bit of a hassle but worth it.

What a great and informative video! Thanks for this, Taylor. This was your drone setup over a year ago, and it's now April 2023 - are you still using the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, or have you upgraded for your drone work? In other words, is the Mavic 2 still holding its own for RE photography? These are running around $1000+ for a used one, but is there a better option for used? Thanks again.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks! Yes, M2P is still one of the best options for photo & video. M3P would be nice too if you wanted to use it for vertical content and the more compact size would also be nice! I think the M2P is probably still better for video from what I’ve seen. Definitely can’t go wrong with it :)

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks !!

[@ThatGuyJConroy]

Great video! You mention “ parallax “ shots a few times with the actual definition being not quite right. Without going into angles of perspective, the simplest example would be foreground developing faster than background and visa versa. ( to try this at home) frame your subject on full zoom - push toward the subject while zooming out. ( add horizon tilt to taste) and you will get a vertigo or parallax effect. All manner of photography or videography are laden with term and lingo- aerial photography will be no different. Safe flying!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks for the feedback - are you saying "parallax" doesn't apply for wide shots?

[@photospike3603]

[@dimfoggyheadlights3776]

Thanks! Probably the new Mavic Mini 3 Pro - Super compact, Better Sensors for object avoidance, Video looks good, Photos look good, Can do vertical for social... Less than 1k! I haven't used one but seems like a great option.

[@EdFloable]

I have a Mavic Air 2, would you recommend for real estate photography?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Sure! Have you tried auto exposure bracketing on it to make HDR photos? Super easy way to get way more dynamic range

[@echowhisper99]

Hi Taylor. Am just starting to get into this and stumbled upon your video when I Googled " real estate drone photography settings." One thing that concerned me about my situation right off the bat was your suggestion of an aperture of 8.0. The problem is that my literally newly-purchased Air 2S apparently only has a fixed aperture of 2.8. Please don't tell me it's impossible to use this particular drone for real estate! The interesting thing, actually, is that there are other KZbin videos that claim it's a great drone for real estate photography, which now that I think about it is kind of surprising given the aperture issue. Thanks.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Hey! It should be fine. I’ve had this drone for a while so forget that most can’t choose the setting. Sorry for the concern! New tip though! Try using Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) to do HDR drone photos. It boosts quality a lot since you can get way more dynamic range than without (on any camera) Since doing this video I’ve started doing that almost all the time and love it :)

[@echowhisper99]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo Great, thanks so much for the response, and for just making me feel better! No, I mean seriously, it would have been pretty depressing to have to pack the drone I just opened right back in its box and send it back just to buy a more expensive one. Yes, AEB sounds like a logical solution to such a problem, so it's definitely something I should check out. I've also heard (from the other videos I referenced on the use of the Air 2S for real estate) that the ND filters can be helpful in this regard, I guess the idea being that it reduces the amount of light hitting the sensor like closing the aperture does. But, anyway, I guess the point is that it sounds like there's a way to make this work, which is a relief. Thanks again -- glad I found your channel. I think there's a substantial learning curve with this so I need all the resources I can find!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@echowhisper99 Glad you feel better! Polarizer filter would be most helpful for photography and ND for video (helps get better colors and bluer skies). No real need to use ND for photos unless you’re going for a slow shutter speed effect like smooth water.

[@ronwess]

Nice video and tutorial. Looking to getting into real estate photography. Thanks again,PeaceLove&GodBless

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Thanks so much! Glad to help :)

[@wildmikeman]

Nice video, thank you. What about doing 100% video and then pulling stills from the video and using the stills for the photos? Using a Mavic 3 with 5K / 30 FPS.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

I guess you could, but why? Photos will get more detail & get better dynamic range especially if you do bracketing. So it’d probably be more beneficial to be competitive quality to just do both to get the best of both worlds. I’ve used stills from video if I missed a photos from time to time, though!

Taylor! Good to see you, and good to hear you’re coming out with a course! I get asked about aerial all the time. I’ve held off for now, but want to get into it. A couple of questions: shopping around for insurance, it seems like there are a million small business insurance companies. Any recommendations for RE photo/video in particular? Second, any tips on when the neighbors come and ask you what you’re up to? Or if someone is displeased that you’re flying a drone in their neighborhood? Thanks again for all you do for the RE Photo/Video community

[@bryanmurphy909]

I just called the agent who handles my home & car. Added photography business liability and equipment including drone. I would start there.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@@bryanmurphy909 Good tips! That’s what I’d recommend too. For neighbors there’s not much you can do except try to be quick for any shots that might be from over their houses. I’ve had some confrontations in the past and it just took listening to them and being chill about it, then explaining what we were doing to diffuse the situation. Another tip is to launch from the back yard so if someone goes around to see where the drone is coming from you’re not standing on the street 😂 That works too lol

[@kateshelest_ph]

Taylor, my drone doesn't have a continuous bracketing ( DJI mini). I can do just 1 shot, not 3 or 5 with different exposure. Is it still possible to get a good photo with my drone? Thx!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Hey! Yes. Just make sure to shoot in RAW and expose for the highlights (sky usually). Sometimes it might work better to over expose the sky so the house looks better and do a sky replacement in editing afterward too. Having a polarized filter (just polarizer or nd4 with polarizer would work) will help make it look like you have a little more dynamic range too since they cut back on harsh lighting + glares & darken the sky a lot of the time.

[@kateshelest_ph]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideothank you

Hey Taylor , a big fan of your work and tutorials. They have really help shorten the Bridge to learning real estate photography and video. I’ve recently been doing real estate photography/video for about seven or eight months now and I have a question for you. Along with showing off the property my clients also request showing local shops and attractions are near the community of the house. How would you go about filming this and editing it all into the actual walk-through video of the property(house)? Any help will be greatly appreciated and again I thank you for all the videos you’ve been sharing with us and I wish you the best of luck on your journey on teaching other people and your overall success.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Hey! Thanks so much for the comment, awesome to hear your feedback!! Great question. Definitely charge extra. Driving around and finding shots can easily double your time filming depending on how much they want even if it’s just a short part of the video. If it’s a really big selling point here’s what I’ve done in the past - have it at the beginning as a part of the intro to provide context to the listing and lifestyle of the area so viewers can quickly note and be interested if they like the area. Otherwise the end or middle can work too like transition from back yard to nearby features or something, then end on the house as a recap. Also easiest way to incorporate these is on videos with voice overs or realtor tours since it seems less random than just footage :)

Hey Taylor, I am thinking of getting a second flash, I currently have a godox 860III... you think a V1 or Ad200?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

It depends - Do you want another one that will do the same stuff, or another one that will do more stuff ? Both are great but the AD200 is way more powerful+faster, which can be really handy for big spaces or really bright rooms (as well as portraits, event photos & more creative work) Might be unnecessary to spend that much if you don't really need any of that, though. Also - I wouldn't really recommend the V1 even though it's great - I would personally rather have one that has the normal speedlight shape so it wouldn't have any issues fitting in some modifier/softboxes I like to use.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@Messi10billy nice! Honestly I’d think using an iPhone (14 or 15)+ gimbal would get better interior results than a drone unless you’re doing something creative like fpv fly through where you need it to be a drone.

Honestly not sure but maybe not? It’s not too hard to get and helps to have the peace of mind and the info you learn is helpful for flying too so I highly recommend it.

The Mavic 2 Pro is sharpest at f/2.8 and f/4 and gets worse after f/5.6

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Really? I haven’t done comparison tests but that’s interesting.

[@daniell1869]

Curious why you shoot in 24fps?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Just personal preference, I like how it looks. I switch it up with 30 and 60 sometimes though if slow motion might add something to the video.

[@daniell1869]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo do real estate clients prefer the 24fps look usually? i know it's more movie-like so wasn't sure

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@@daniell1869 I think honestly most clients don't notice much of the fine details like that lol. But yeah 24fps looks most natural in my opinion so I like to use it. 30fps at 80% speed looks similar but slightly surreal which I like too and 60fps at 40% speed (all on 24fps timeline) if there's some motion I want to slow down like water moving or cars / fire etc can be fun for a change.

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo thanks so much for getting back to my questions this quick, really appreciate it. I've been doing real estate drone photography for about 5 years now, but just now getting into video as well so trying to gather as much knowledge as I can. cheers mate

This is the dji fly app? Mine looks nothing like this has

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

What drone do you have? I think it varies on the new drones

[@BlondieACM]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo mavic air 2!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

@@BlondieACM Oh yeah! The app for that one is new/different (more streamlined!) Ive used one a couple of times - cool drone!

[@BlondieACM]

@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo is there a way still to get the app you use? Sort of interested to fiddle with that now hh

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

​@@BlondieACM I don't think so - it's the same app I think but it comes up different for different devices.

Flooded market. Like AC guys, Attorneys etc.

Good call 😆

Hello Not sure how long you’ve been flying a drone but I’ve always found it easier to grab my photos of the video and you can get better photos shoots from a video…

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Like screen shots ?

[@elliott2971]

? ???????

[@egorchorniy346]

Can I fly this drone without any license?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Definitely check your local FAA requirements first.. You can’t (legally) do it without a license for commercial purposes and usually need to register your device with the FAA too. Some of the tiny ones (under 250 grams) are less restricted but just for hobbyists. So yes (for fun) and no (for a business). It can vary a lot depending on where you live though, so just check online or call them to get more local info :)
