For Cine Mode, I did not see you describe Expo (Pitch/Roll, Yaw, Up/Down) settings. Has the newest update changed the menu?

[@larryjones2563]

My mini 3 pro is under the tree for Christmas. I’m like a kid waiting for the day to get here. Im 61 and this will be my first high quality drone. Great video, thanks!

[@TheDroneCreative]

I would be tempted to sneak it out of the box! ha! Enjoy it, you will love it!

[@gringling57]

@larryjones2563 I am 66 and just bought my first drone, a DJI mini 3 pro! can't wait till it gets here!!🎉

[@unusedTV]

23:15 The subtitles include telemetry data including GPS position that is sometimes useful to have, and it is completely free of downsides as it's text embedded in the file _as subtitle_ that can be turned off. You actual video is not affected. I'd recommend just always having it on.

[@trevhome6580]

Yes, I must admit that I leave this setting on just so I can see some of the stats when I replay the raw files in VLC Player.

[@ZiotechVideos]

Mattheww You are, in my book, one of the Drone masters! Your teaching techniques are superb, thorough, to the point and easy to understand. And you do all of this with a variety of Drones! Bless you for sharing your knowledge!

[@mickm-w]

After watching 0ver 35 different DJI mini 3 Pro videos (seriously) finally found one that's answered all my questions - now have four pages of notes that will be my saviour for getting my settings correct - Matthew Brennan, I raise my pint of Guinness to you !!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Cheers! Happy to hear the video helped!

[@timdaugherty7612]

It took me several years to come to terms with the fact DJI normal color profiles and the Auto settings are pretty damn good, and a huge time saver.

[@bikedoc4145]

Man that is some of the most beautiful Countryside in your video's and the old ruins of the castle's are amazing, you are so lucky to get to fly there

[@electriceyeslide5959]

Excellent video and very well thought out. I’m an engineer by profession and like to know what things do and how they actually work. This saved me a ton of time researching it all on my own.

[@djericbecker]

[@thekilleraxe7121]

Why have you not done a video on the new O3 Air Unit from DJI?

[@NiklasKrog]

Great video as always. Thanks! I missed out on one thing. What are your preferred Expo settings for Cine mode? Same as Normal?

[@ones_flow5652]

This! Needs more infos.

[@MilosTurek]

I think it is better to use H.265 as it allows to shooting in 10 bit. H.264 only allows 8 bit, which can create color banding and other unwanted artifact in post production.

[@kieranbroadfield5911]

is that only in cinelike? In normal profile it is max 8?

[@StephenEhrlichPhotos]

These suggested settings are extremely helpful. My next step is to updated my settings based on this tutorial. Thanks!!!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad it was helpful, let me know how you find the settings! Thanks for watching!

[@bidcrop3298]

[@jamespatterson7933]

Great video!! What are your thoughts on the new O3 Air Unit for FPV drones from DJI?

[@Alakazam2047]

Thank you for the updated settings! By any chance, is the Expo setting for Cine the same as your Normal, or is it set at the default setting? I noticed that you skipped mentioning it in the explanation at 18:40.

[@louietuna8091]

A little more than half way thru the video and I need to rest my brain. Wow! Lots of good info. Mine arrives tomorrow. Maybe I'll watch this again while the batteries charge. Thank you Matthew. I knew some Brennan's from near Liverpool.

[@mikebranch3043]

It reminds me of back in the day when we had to have CB license to talk on a CB radio, but no one was ever checked, and very few even went to the trouble of getting the license and it faded away just like the remote ID wheel

[@dgibbsfl]

Your videos are marvelous. I just got my Mini 3 Pro and your directions are helpful. The only problem I am having while getting oriented to everything is that the drone and camera have to be on to move around in these various menu settings and while you are cruising around in and out of settings you have been to many times, it take a newbie a few more seconds and then the drone overheats. The other small problem I am having which is related is that the touch screen does not respond so well to my touch and I find myself having to tap tap tap to get the screen transition to respond. That adds some time and meanwhile the drone is over heating.

[@Goldchucker1]

Great content and easy to follow instruction/suggestions. Thank you.

[@ok11000]

Brilliant tutorial video Matthew. From a Mini 2 owner who is soon to upgrade to a Mini 3, this whistle stop tour combines the more familiar aspects of the M2 with the new characteristics of the M3. Thank you.

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@TylerMarletteNY]

[@LyleWins251]

Just got my Mini 3 Pro a few weeks ago. This is my first drone so I've been trying to dive into all the ins and outs of capturing video and photos as well as the specific features of this drone. Lots of great info in this video and channel. Can't wait to try out these suggestions. Thanks!

[@joycegrieves7284]

Thankyou Matthew. With my mini3pro being so new and me being so cautious, you have given me courage to tap and explore the indicators on the screen. Oh the joy when I recognise things from your videos and are able to make a few choice adjustments.

[@MrJonpeters]

Many thanks for the update Matthew. I'll be on the case tomorrow !!!! Roll on better flying weather.

[@k.wi.7991]

Great video! Only one point that needs clarification: at 20:18 on screen setting for Tilt Smoothness is 10 and you say 20 (at least '20' is what I seem to hear) So, what is your Sport setting for Gimbal Tilt Smoothness? Thanks, and again your videos are extremely helpful👍

[@d96teamvideo69]

Thanks Bro, I from VietNam!

[@MrRnipperBrockleBroadcasting]

Just bought a Mini 3 pro to replace a Mini 2 as I was missing the obstacle avoidance and tracking on my original Mavic Pro, but need a drone under 250 grams to fly in close proximity to people. Just be aware if you buy one that it doesn’t come with a charger apparently, even in the Fly more pack, unlike every DJI drone I’ve previously had. So good job the Mini 2 charger seems to be working with it!

[@shawnrossi6364]

also when using spotlight its good to wait to have a gps marker pop up before you start your shot. you may have to eneter poi to get the gps to lock in. thanks for the very detailed video

[@JohnMerryman]

Your videos are practical and full of good information. I like how you discuss the point and then show how to do it. Even if you know how to do the function, it is a good reinforcement. Nice job!

[@TheDroneCreative]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

Very good tutorial Matthew! Just had my first flight with these settings and I thing the Cinematic is perfect.

[@psiemensma12]

Perhaps mentioned earlier, but the Subject Scanning option can only be set when airborne. This has to be done every time you fly.

[@colombiabound1633]

Do you provide any personal coaching or viewing videos providing feedback services?

Thank you Matthew for this informative video. Would you consider adding a summary document into your creative download pack with all the settings you describe?

[@TheDroneCreative]

[@franzschneider2011]

Great video thanks a lot! Is there a possibility to grab the configuration file from the system? Would like to save and store all the changes that have been made to an external device. Assuming all the data is located and stored in a file by the system?

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

good stuff. only comment I'd make is that if you editing pc can handle it, h265 is a no brainer. for a given bit rate it will give a better pic. 150mb/s at h265 vs 150mb/s at h264 is a massive difference for stuff like flying over forrest, grass, sea - stuff that really needs data. Once you edited, then can export at whatever you want and use the bitrate you need - but a bit like exposure - you can't get detail back if it's already lost as by blockiing compression artefacts. Seems to me one of the major benefits of the pro is H265 compatibility. maybe also worth saying that with new apple silicon macs, it's all done in hardware - decoding and encoding, so there's no editing performance penalty for using it.

[@Robbe1984]

Keep 'em coming!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Will do - appreciate your support!

[@nicholashalvis5376]

I’m sitting here with my RC controller. Trying to follow you to change the settings. How do I get to the page that you’re on. To make these changes in the settings. I would think you need to show that first.

[@mudgyver5205]

Once again. You are helping me better understand the settings and functions of the drone. Very well explained and at a pace where I can follow what is being explained. Thank you for the tutorials. 🙂👍

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thanks for the great feedback. Happy the video was helpful!

[@MW-fr7bx]

The best setting for me would be to hop a flight to Ireland. You can only make my area look so good.

[@TheDroneCreative]

haha, it's SUPER windy in Ireland at the minute. Finding it hard to get a calm enough day to fly. We do have a huge amount of scenic areas though - which is helpful! If you ever come over let me know and I can show you a few!

[@DowntownRDB]

Awesome job on this video. Very comprehensive details. I changed a few settings after watching your video and I'm already seeing a big difference. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@billjaxin]

Great job, thank you. I'm pretty new to my M3pro and, considering that I'm old enough to remember my parent's' crank telephone and wood cook stove, the first couple of weeks were spent in just getting relatively comfortable with control of movement. (Walking down logging roads with the drone ahead of me for example.) The grandkids, to nobody's surprise, catch on to that aspect a tad faster. I was stumped by camera exposure settings, you've been a big help.

[@spacecadet7009]

The Max velocity is 150% in sports mode, note he is only using that to point his drone to a location (Not shoot). If you want to shoot in sports mode, keep it low as 50-60%

Is it true that none of apas/obstacle avoidance, does not work no matter what you have it set to. Is that true? Also, you will get a claim from ES if your subscription is expired.. Thanks in advance!

[@jaakkotahtela123]

If you shoot at 30 fps it’s better to use shutter speed of 1/50. That is more cinematic. There is no reason to use higher shutter speed unless you are going to make a slow motion video. At least in Europe 1/50 is better so that lights don’t flicker

[@d.bharti009]

Yes, in India too.. the lights flicker at 60, 120 fps but not at 50 or 100 fps

[@Luggruff]

Couldn't you just set the anti-flicker to 60 hz though?

[@jaakkotahtela123]

@@Luggruff not in Europe or any other place in he world where electricity is 50 hertz. The anti-flicker works by adjusting the shutter speed accordingly

[@broadwayphotovideo]

The most cinematic video is 24 fps and not 30 fps anyway, which would use a shutter speed of 1/50.

[@Cinoo90]

Dunno for me vid footage looks better on 60fps shutter speed 1/120 especially on fpv drone but dunno mini

[@TheDroneCreative]

Happy to help! It can be daunting at first when beginning to fly a drone but stick with it and it will get easier. These settings should give you slower and smoother results. I recommend the Freewell All Day 6 pack as that kit has the range of ND filters you will most often use on bright days.
