What a breath of fresh air! I’ve been struggling to shorten my learning curb for a deadline tomorrow. Just bought the drone yesterday. This video takes a huge load off my shoulders. If you’re doing these to make people happy, you sure accomplished it!
I have other issues with video editing. I’ve downloaded Rush which I was able to figure out, but I know I need to buy a program to get all the functionality. I’m editing on an iPad Pro vs my computer. Using drone for Realestate as well. Thanks again.
Thank you for this video ! I’ve only had my Air2S for 6 weeks, I’ve watched a ton of videos but I just learned more in this video then I have from all the other videos combined!
Great video!
Concise, organized, all the information I was looking for and you're well spoken. High five
This has got to be the best settings video on CZcams no lie, this is the video I always come back to for information lol thank you💯
I appreciate your thoroughness in this video. It may have been a bit longer than you wanted, but I think it was worth it. Finally, maybe it doesn't need saying, but after you've watched this video, go out and try it all out, noting what works best for you and getting used to the controls. Keep using them till it's second nature where to find them.
You're a great dad for wearing that pretty bracelet 😊👍🏻
2x daughters.
Outstanding! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain these settings. Your content is great and your teaching style is superb.
really amazing video. You have covered one the best information on Air2S.
Excellent and straightforward tutorial.
Very nice coverage of essential settings, great content and professional teaching style. Terrific!
Super clear and useful. Thanks!
Great video, well explained
Thanks!
Thanks, mate. This came in handy :)
You have a good calm way of presenting things and clearly. In general, all the trainers are babbling in a terrible hurry, as if there is a race going on.
Really great job explaining everything
Very well done and informative. You did not lose me by going too fast. Subscribed and look forward to more of your videos. Thanks!
Very cool! Thank you for the breakdown.
This was very helpful. I love my air 2S will be trying these settings out soon! Great video.
Excellent video. Thank you.
Thank you for such clear and concise information. I can’t wait to fly again!
Very well explained, well done
Excellent video, I have watched many videos now in advance if my Air S2 arriving and this by far explained what I wanted to know the best. Now subscribed.
The best camera settings video I've ever seen man, really good explanation of settings and their functions 💯💯
Very helpful sir, thanks!
Awesome video! Thank you!
great video!!
Thanks a lot for your pedagogical way of explaining vídeo settings. The first one I come across which is worth watching many times . I have learned a lot .
Nice Man! Very well explained! Thank you!
Thank you. That was very helpful! Have a great day!
This helped immensely. Thanks for the thorough insight.
Very grateful for this video thanks alot 🙏
Really nice tips, help me a lot!
Congratulations from Brasil 🇧🇷
Perfect. Everything I need in one video. MuchO appreciatumn my friend. 👍🏼
Thank you for the lecture . Happy new year 2023
The rabbit hole about fps was great information. Thank you.
Great vid!
Big help, thanks!
Thank you great info
Thanks ~ great info !
You are awesome Mate!
Really well explained. No one does anything like that anymore. Thank you very much for your clip.
Wow, what a great tutorial! This is a video that I will save and refer to often. Thanks!
Thank you so much!
I REALLY like the way you’ve explained things in this..MY 1st of yours, vid. Well done. Subbed. Not being even an amateur photographer/videographer, etc, I’ve watched several Yt’ers delve into the videoing/photo-end of things and none explain as well..certainly not better than you do. Excellent stuff, I’ll be back for sure. Thanks..
Thanks for a good instructional video. Thumbs up and subscribed.
Very helpful thanks
Perfectly detailed explanation. Thank you 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Best tut ever!
I wrote down a lot of tips from this video. Thanks 🇬🇧 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Right on brother 👍
Nicely informative video, just got mine. Would have been nice if you had sample shots of each setting.
Absolutely loved the over explaining! Lol. Keep up these nice detailed settings tips on drones
Excellent thanks a lot 🙏🏼
I just love your videos... so eloquent and clear... I have a question: tonight I have a fireworks festival gig, which do you think could be good settings for it? Thank you (Of Course with DJI Air2S)
Thanks for the excellent video, Jared. You have a new subscriber. I have a question regarding the 5.4k resolution in the Air 2S. I do my editing in Davinci 17. Do I need to select the H265 setting in Davinci in order for the video to playback? I recently flew my new Air 2S, and I'm able to see the video download on my computer but when I transfer the video into my Davinci editor, the video will not link. Any suggestions?
Thanks again.
Very interesting point on shooting at -1.0 I'd usually aim for 0.0 on the light metre but as you've stated this can result in over-exposed skies etc. Out of interest, I try and stick at ISO 100, maybe 200 at max, have you found that footage results in lots of noise at above anything higher than ISO 200? Good explanation of exposure on the Air 2S.
Brilliant video, very informative, I got my air 2s yesterday and so far the image quality is far superior to my old air 1 and phantom 3 advanced. I find it strange they this drone doesn't have expo settings for the controller as in normal mode it feels very bouncy and overly responsive when turning.
It does now 👍🏻 (EXP settings)
Great video with a lot of info. One question I have is iMovie a decent platform to get high quality rendering after all the exposure and color adjustments are made? My footage didn't look as good as your's. I shoot some in 2.7k 60p and rendered it in 1080 60p. Should I be doing something different?
Jerad! Thank you for this video.
What software do you recommend to edit the 4k drone video?
Just got the Air 2S, upgrading from a Phantom 4 Pro in my real estate photography business. Thanks for a very helpful tutorial! Subscribed. I was bummed that this drone only has an f2.8 aperture, but if I pick the right filter for the day, just having ISO and shutter speed is enough to manage exposure. I do it a little different though. I set the shutter manually to the 180-degree rule, and then set auto-ISO. If I use the right ND filter the ISO shouldn't go too high and I want to keep the motion blur as natural as possible. Still, I'll try it your way for a while and see what kind of results I get. It may be better! I've only flown a couple of test missions so far but am blown away by how much I can zoom in when I film at 5.4K! This will really give me a lot of flexibility with pan-and-zoom to make exciting videos!!! Thanks again, Jerad. You are an excellent communicator.
Thank you!
Thanks
Nice video mate, really enjoyed that 👍🏻 …can I just clarify - you said that in pro mode, you make sure the EV is not at 0.0, but you don’t have control of that in pro, only auto? Also, at the end, you say to format the card in the drone, but it’s a good idea to have a simple text file on the SD card with your name, number and email - should you lose the drone 👍🏻
Don’t need long winded explanations just get to❤ the setting you think are the best over all
Such a helpful video! Am I basically trying to adjust things to get the - 1.0. I would always do everything in auto. But this really made a difference 1st time around
Awesome. Thanks for the comment!
Although I've had my Part 107 cert for a few years, I've never used a drone. That said, I'm about to buy a DJI Mavic Air 2S and I'm very grateful to you for creating this very informative video. I look forward to viewing more of your videos, particularly regarding settings for shooting stills (although I don't imagine those settings will be different than those used in a DSLR). Thanks, again.
The Air2S is an AMAZING drone. It’s extremely nimble and fast- yet can be incredibly stable when shooting photos and video. If you can spring for the fly more combo to get the smart controller with it - I think it’s a much better buy than the mini 3 pro overall.
@@dmac8247 I did buy the Fly More package and I'm grateful that I did. I've been learning to fly this drone and find it to be very stable in moderately high winds. But, I'm still trying to get comfortable with it, but having a hell of a time learning how to make smooth height and direction adjustments which are still a bit herky jerky.
Curious, did the new update change this menu? I have the same options but the menu covers half my screen. Also the +/- disables when I enable manual ISO and Shutter speed, still trying to figure a few things out
question, how would you recommend I go about building clientele? I have my license and insurance just stuck in how to find clientele to shot film for. Could be anything from real estate, surveying, damage inspection. I’m not really worried about any specific drone service
Good vid... although the air 2's does have a very good digital Zoom feature!... even in tracking mode
Good Video Super Details.
Sir please one video for how you do the colour grade the drone footage. Looks like Netflix movie 🥰
Saw this other video about air 2s video being softer than air 2.. what’s your opinion on this?
Excellent video. I'm metering 0.0 on D-Log and skies and white painted buildings are overexposed. I just can't fix it. Now I'll underexpose -1.0 or less.
our drone footage especially the colouring is awesome do a video about your process
14:30 what adjustment to do you make in that cloudy scenario?
if you slow 30p by 80% are you essentially going to get the same look at 24p? or is it going to still look more stuttered?
What about night time footage? What settings are best
Impecable review! Beautiful work! ( from 2023 we can not use this drone in the city anymore becouse do not have certification ).
I would like to see a tutorial for setting the camera if you are doing photogrammetry.
thanks for info - pretty braclet
Haha. Daughter made it for me.
This might sound crazy...I just purchased an air2s and was using an air2 for a few months, so I realised my gimbal speed, pitch etc wasnt the same as I had set it on my air 2,so I was thinking how do I find the video which I used to dial in my previous settings,I opened up the CZcams page and your video was the third video on y CZcams front page...Thanks great vid by the way, best I have seen thus far on the topic actually...but only thing I felt would have made it perfect is that you did not touch on the advanced gimbal settings where u can adjust pitch, pitch smoothness etc and explain what they do as many people skip that
How can i fix this dji air 2s unable to take off code 30064?
Why do my videos record in different size when i record in manuel apose to auto. Exampl. When i record doing a quick shot the video size is not that large, but when i do a manuel recording the video size is large and i can't play the video.
Since I got my Air 2S I have been watching a lot of videos regarding the settings, and I have learned so much, but I have noticed that everybody's settings are very different. I suppose it depends on your style and personal preferences?
Yes. Personally, I want my footage to match my other cameras as best as possible. I also want to make sure my settings give me the best possible exposure so I can make the footage from this tiny sensor look decent.
@@ditchauto that is a great point I picked up on because I had been thinking about that lately. I'm about to edit some video from a trip up north and didn't want there to be too much difference between what I shot with my Nikons and the air2s. Going to have to do some practicing I guess... : )
I am getting some very strange frame rates out of my drone. I believe the drone was set to record 4K 30FPS, but when I look at the footage on the computer, it is very choppy. I imported the footage into my editing software and it shows a frame rate of 16.75 FPS. Any idea what happened here? I don't even see 16.75 FPS as an option on the drone settings.
Finally an instructional drone video where the person isn't saying "banging" every 3 sentences! lol Just a great video and you have a new subscriber!
????? Also, in regards to the micro sd card; I purchased one that was recommended for the Air 2s and the drone has difficulty recording on it. It sometimes says that the card is too slow and automatically switches to saving on the drone instead. I purchased the SanDisc Ultra 10 A1 128GB. Is this a drone malfunction or a disc malfunction or???
Is there a editing app that you recommend for beginners
Final Cut Pro X
I'm new to drone flying and drone photography. What setting are you using on an iPhone? When I'm out on a sunny day, I cant see my phone screen. I have seen a lot of CZcams videos and the iPhones screen are bright.
When using a phone call you can do is out your phone on max brightness. Newer phones have brighter max brightness so if your phone is older it likely struggles on bright days. I now go with the DJI RC because it's so bright and I don't have to mess with my phone settings.
If you have the money you should get a smart controller the Air 2s pairs with the Smart controller and the Smart controller pro they both have a 1000 nit screen
The DJI Air 2S is also perfect for shooting stop & go video. Just set it to 5.4k/30pfs
Noticed that my Air2S will not allow me to change aperture when in Pro mode. If the aperture is high, I need to make adjustments to the ISO or shutter speed to bring down the aperture. Is this normal or do I have a problem with my drone?
Air2s doesn’t have variable aperture.
It does have zoom feature by the way.
Does a regular Android phone works with this drone?
So who and how was this filmed 😮 how did the drone get there?
Why does my drone heat up at the bottom while I either mess around with the settings or maybe look at videos… when it’s just sitting there getting ready to fly. It usually happens after about 10 minutes of sitting. Seems like the battery heats up. It’s not moving, flying.
Everything here is golden for rules of thumb but you should also use the histogram to make sure you have the settings nailed.
air 2s has 4x zoom but only in certain res settings.
why is 24p better than 30p? unless I'm mistaken, if your drone video is going to be viewed on someone's computer (60hz monitor for eg.) wouldn't 30p be better?
It's no better.. it gives it another feel to the footage, like the movies on the cinema. Mostly noticeable on the motion blur is nicer
Might take the props off for safety, on right near to you?
Just got this drone and Im a bit disappointed with the camera settings options. My original mavic using the GO app had way more settings to get better video. WB options had certain presets for time of day, using scroll wheel to change shutter speed on the fly, D-Log in photo mode, more color options like HDR, and the remote had more customized buttons and scroll wheels.
why i cannot change the iso even when i in pro mode ?
Even in pro mode ISO will be set to auto. You have to tap on the ISO and manually change it. Is this not possible as I was showing in the video?
it does have crop zoom.
Help, why cant i download 5k videos i shot on my drone to my iPhone 13pro max? It say unable to download , only up to 4K. So what’s the point of having 5k?
The codec for the 5K video is not supported on smartphones. You will either need to use a computer with software that supports the codec or give LumaFusion for iOS a try.
@@ditchauto Aw man. I don’t have a laptop. It’s my first drone and didn’t know that. Thanks for the response.
Ah, mostly good info; however, if you want pop with this fixed aperture-you're gonna have to play with shutter speed...that's my experience anyway and you can get pop!
