I'm using dji air 2s.
I just purchased my first Mini 2 and the reason for that is YOU! You made me spend some good quids! But before that, you opened my eyes, you opened new doors for me! Flying a drone became my hobby (thanks to you) before even having a drone! Thanks for all the effort you put into this channel and keep up the good work!
Thank you so much and hope you have much success
Best drone channel. Many thanks Darren for getting the most out of these fantastic drones! Awesome guidelines and advise from the drone master himself.
Haha thank you bro đ€
I really love how you champion this drone, great real-world insights and examples, nice work!
Cheers Christopher đ€
Simply the best explanation I got was from your channel. You covered everything in a sympathizing way. Bravo!
Great advice as usual...getting closer to the holidays so will put this to good use...thank you
Awesome thank you
Great mini-tutorial: short and gets to the essential information, especially about the ND filters. There are so many tutorials that tell you all about the settings, but fail to mention that they are not going to work without the filter. Thanks!
Appreciate it thank you
Excellent video as usual!! Thanks for doing such a great job with the info we need!
Thank you buddy
Another top quality video Darren. Iâm fairly new to the drone world and your videos are a massive help. Thanks đ
Thank you Dave đ„
Some great tips, cheers. Some subtle video editing which is where I struggle. đ
Awesome video as always Darren, and full of great information. Thanks for sharing. đđđ
Thank you Raymond as ever đ€
Excellent Tutorial Video Darren. Thank You.
Cheers Doug
Darren - great tips. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much
Great video, can't wait for the LUTs and your video on editing
Thank you buddy wonât be long
Love your videos - thank you for the download sheet
No problems đ
@@DMProductions canât wAit to see the luts
Great advice! Amazing what color grading can do!!
Absolutely! My luts will be releasing really soon thank you
Loved it !!!
Thanks đ
Darren the editing bit was great !
Thank you đ
Ty for this video! Very helpful
Thanks đ
YES! Thank you for breaking all this out. Super helpful. Had no idea there were ND filters for this.
Yes number 1 accessory!
Thank you!
Nice tips! Love it.
Thanks hope you liked it
Thank you for another great video on getting better footage. I fins it hard to use pro settings close to sunset or after sunrise, because I fount that the light intensity changes a lot even during a 20 something minute flight. Typically I'll have an ND 4 filter on there and most of the footage will be overexposed at 1/60 shutter speed at the beginning of the flight, but then it changes rather quickly. So instead of switching filters several times I just resort to automatic setting. As far as I know there is no way of knowing the shutter speed after that, but for the most part I've been happy with the footage. Going to try 24 frames/second to see if there is anoticable difference. So much to learn đ„Ž
Thks bro for helping me out. đ
Pleasure !
Awesome!
Thank you for sharing this... đ€đ
Some more great tips there from the fylde coast flying ledge. I just need to invest in a drone now to hopefully achieve the same quality videos as you produce. It's a stunning day so looking forward to seeing some great footage. Looking up but cant see any drones yet. đđž
Haha thank you glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for those tips! So useful! - I am wondering if you, when you fly, always see enough on the screen display of your phone? Or do you use some VR glasses or some kind of shadow protection / addon for the phone?
I do use some vr goggles that help a lot , i DId a video on these before Xmas but normally on the mini 2 I just have brightness on full
Darren that's a excellent video, Very glad I watched it. Learnt a lot, I have been using DaVinci for my edits and will be looking for some of the pop feature and colour grading in DaVinci.
Thanks for doing this video.
Thank you Drew my luts will be available really soon and make it easy for beginners to get a nice look, Iâll be doing edit tutorials on different software too for you guys
@@DMProductions I will be watching!!!
Loving your videos - just binged watched a load and subscribed. Quick question... I'm using the Freewell all day filters and have started to notice some vignetting in the lower corners of my frame. Any suggestions to avoid this or reasons why this might be?
Really appreciate it.
Nice vidđ
Thank you đ
Can you do decent colour grading for the drone footage with iMovie? Just got my mini 2!! Loving it!! Currently saving up for FCP
thanks for another great video! im looking at getting some of them ND filters which ones would you recommend more the Skyreat or the Freewell?
Freewell are better but both really good tbh
Just bought some Freewell ND filters (plus polarising ones) and have started to use the manual settings. It's a bit hit-and-miss wrt which filter to start with, based on the conditions, but I'm definitely getting there.
Yes takes time you will develop a eye for it tho
Great stuff! Hoping for some better weather to get out and try some new things with my mini 2! Looks like we are heading into the 60's (f) and sunny here next week :-)
Other than low light this thing is truly fantastic!
I have been using 2.7 just for smaller files (and I can't see the difference) but may go to 4k and start using raw since I'm working on more advanced editing for photos/videos in 2022.
Yes defo itâs worth the difference, 4k and jpg plus raw, once you fall into the rabbit hole you will keep wanting better quality ! đ
thanks man for yours tips .....hello from culiacan sinaloa mexico .....i got dji mini 2 as well
Hey đČđœ thanks for watching
@@DMProductions i always do man thanks
I still have the problem with the video freezing in 4k on my phone. Do you have any ideas on what the problem might be. My mini 2 and fly app are all updated. Great video too đ
The most useful CZcams on the mini 2 I've seen
Thank you appreciate it
Good stuff
Cheers Nick
Hello, which software you used for editing?
Iâve been flying for over 3 years. Just got the mini 2. Watch you all the time. Youâve taught me a ton! Lots of fun places to fly here in the mountains of Utah! Getting better all the time. đ„
Ah I bet! Drone paradise!
Today I left my filters at home.
Deliberately.
Wanted to try full auto.
Gobsmacked by the results.
Iâm gonna get the dji mini 2 se, is that still a good choice?
âHomeworkâ đ Brilliant! Another great video đ
Haha Iâll be checking
Hell yeah !!!
Does using an ND filter take the drone over the weight limit ?
Nd16 the only filter you needđ
G'day Dazza,
Two questions for you.
I'm about to get a mini 2 to replace my mini 1. mini 2 specs for Max Video Bitrate is 100Mbps, so the SD card I get should be atleast 100mbs obviously if I get one that has a higher mbs that would be better of would that be "over kill".
My second question is regarding ND filters.
Let's assume all ND's are created equal in lens quality. What do you think is better, the filter where the lens covers all the front of the camera, or the ND filter that is just a circle aligned with the actual lens on the camera.
Usually use LumaFusion myself but have you tried CapCut? Really impressed with its features possibly my new go to editing app.
I use Lumafusion too I havenât tried capcut, vn studio is good too for free
Thank you for another great tutorial and in depth information. I also just got my Mini2 and I have a question regarding the ND/PL filters. Would you suggest a combination of ND/PL filters or is there a benefit to having just ND filters without the PL. I am looking at the Skyreat set, that has the ND4PL ND8PL ND16PL ND32PL ND64PL. Any help would be much appreciated and again thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Yes thatâs a good set a prefer the nd/pl as you can move the wheel around on the filter to get the desired look
@@DMProductions Thank you for replying, it is much appreciated.
hi, thanks for the video, i use DJI mini 2 , upgrade to 1.6.12 , I am not able to M.M adjust in pro mode ,it changes only when I change shutter speed ,is this issues? keeping shutter speed to 1/60 I'm not able to adjust M.M to -0.3 or any number ,pls clarify me ,thanks in advance
Do you notice the stutter in your parallax shot? I'm pretty sure that's from panning to fast and too slow a shutter speed. I think 60fps woulda been better for that shot. Your thoughts?
The link to the ND filters are no longer available. What should I get? Please help.
i have a mini 3 pro, and posted my first drone footage video a couple days ago, and got alot of attention on Nextdoor, some neighbor wants me to shoot a 2-3 min video of her home. trying to find tips, i dont have an ND filter yet!
Ok Darren, Iâve just bought a used mini 2 for a great price and the kit includes an 8 pack of ND upto 16nd and the rest are nd/cpl up as far as 64 plus it includes 2 other lens covers - a 1000 and a 2000 which I kind of understand but that can wait for ma đ
My main question with all of this is that I only have an iPad Pro at the moment so Iâm pretty certain that wonât allow me to have decent editing software like youâve mentioned added plus LUTS which are confusing me a little but look like templates to me? Can I get anywhere close with an iPad Pro in terms of colour grading and adding decent music in âpostâ I need to learn the lingo too đ âŠ. Help me please guys and girls - new subscriber too and enjoying your videos. I sold my dslr to fund the drone as it wasnât getting enough use. I want to make the most of the pro functions and do it manually, even though I never mastered the camera. Thanks in advance - I really appreciate any help.
The drone is the easy part. What is minimum RAM etc..?
So I havenât done much shooting with my mini2 yet but was I have had looked a bit grainy that is in auto mode at 2.7k would pro mode and 4k help clear that up?
Sure it will be a noticeable difference esp if itâs low light conditions
Which software do you use for editing?
Final Cut Pro
Hi, - Is it correct, that the dji mini 2 cannot utilize the full 4:3 aspect ratio sensor, but only film in 16:9? - If not, how to change it? - A pity if I am correct, 25% of the pixels go unused (4:3 = 12:9; (16-12)/16 = 25%)
Are they standard luts in the software mate ?
My luts will be dropping soon which have been designed mainly for the mini 2 in its standard colour profile
Hey DM. I got some issues with grain when i record. I'm using ND filters and correct settings so i don't really know what's happening with this grain on the footage.
Make sure the iso is locked to 100 and there is sufficient light.
What is the best app for android to edit 4k? And that doesn't lower the quality because i have used VN and i lets me export in 4k but only in like 45 mbits
Vn is prob the one Iâd suggest, if you shoot in 4k and export in 4k the lower rate shouldnât matter much, either than or premier / Final Cut Pro / davinci for best results
if you are shooting in 4k and 25fps ...what is your shuter speed? is it in 1/60?
1/50 to be perfect but honestly even at 1/100 youâll get motion blur. Getting Exposure correct is the most important aspect
What editing app you use?
Final Cut Pro
Spot on DM one thing you forgot.... you have to get up early đ
Haha thank you yes earlier the better! You should know đ€
I'm wondering if you can help đ I've contacted absolutely everyone and still no luck đ
I've recently purchased a mavic mini 2... The footage is great, I've downloaded the original HD File edit and try and export to instagram reels - this is where the problem is happening, its just compressing the crap out of it... I never had issues with mavic mini... I've tried everything, exporting to normal 1080p x 30fps, switching the high data switch on Insta... I'm seriously pulling my hair out.. Nothing is working and I'm travelling around Canada.. With some great shots.. Hopefully you can help.. Great work BTW đđđ
My mini 2 only have 1080p , what is wrong with it ? Pls help
I now tend to shoot in 2.7k 60fps because I find the motion blur on 4k 30 is so blurred when I move slowly I canât see the shot well
Will ND filters help this or is the motion blur good?
Yes theyâll def help William
Yeah I tried 4k 30across the big river on a sunny day and got some weird blurr in the water....
Plus it seems the card i have can't shoot 4k fast enough or well enough to process... very lame Samsung evo plus U3 128gb
Man I wish content creators would educate themselves on bitrate and how it impacts video quality at different resolutions. âUse 4Kâ should not be a rule handed down just because your camera/drone is capable of it. The reality is every camera has a maximum bitrate itâs capable of and that bitrate is âspreadâ across whatever resolution you choose. So yes, if you plan on cropping or if your camera has a very high bitrate feel free to use 4K. However, if youâre not going to crop or care about uploading at 4K your 1080p footage is going to have more data and therefor have more detail(look better) than your 4K footage.
This is the reason the original Mini would have flickering trees. It was very low bitrate(40mbps) and they compensated with baked in sharpening.
This is a long winded way of suggesting that we stop encouraging people to use 4K without telling them WHY you should use 4K and how you could potentially get better looking footage by shooting in 1080p
I think I did one of these a few years ago.
And now you donât
Haha đ€
@@DMProductions Chilly out here D, stepped out to tank up for ÂŁ1,000,000 per litre and froze.
@@PhillipSkraba đ at least your heading in the right direction and with a convoy!
How can I record sound on my mini 2
you canât. Youâd only hear the sound of the propellers spinning.
Why does my camera lens shudder when I use a Freewell ND polarizer filter? It goes into a loop and vibrates, bluring the image.
Make sure itâs pushed all the way into place
@@DMProductions Thank you for your reply. When I install my ND filter, I make sure the fingers are firmly planted in the vents on top of the gimbal. I also make sure the filter is seated around the lens, and will not move. It may be that the gimbal motor is too weak, else there is something going on with how the gimbal sensors are programed to adjust the position. I will keep using the ND filters and hope I can sort this out. I don't think DJI will be albe to help, unless I send it back to them for repair or replacement. Thanks again for our reply.
My footage is still stuttering and laggy even with a good sad card and turning the speed down on the gimbal and turning the smoothness up.
âI got 4 clips loaded in hereâ
Where? What program?
Guys, if your computer cannot handle 4k then simple choose option 2.7k with 25 on the mini 2 in camera settings, its very nice quality đ.
What's wrong with 2.7k 30fps?
Nothing but you have a mini 2, use the 4K
Okay, 24fps is for film, 25fps is the old PAL frame rate (50Hz power divided by odd/even lines per frame = 25 fps interlaced), 30 fps (really 29.97 fps) is the old NTSC frame rate (60Hz power divided by odd/even lines per frame = 29.97 fps interlaced i.e. 30 fps drop frame). On the grid for rule of thirds only noobs need that an experienced cinematographer just knows how to frame a shot (read the book The 5 C's of Cinematography), also get some knitting wool or some string and put it over your tv screen on the 1/3 lines and watch your favorite movie or tv show with the sound off, within hours it will be burned into your memory for when you film.
Actually if you shoot at 60 fps you should use the shutter speed of 1/60 unless you are going to slow down the footage. Memory card doesnât affect the quality. If the card is too slow it just wonât record
Not if you follow the 180 degree rule
@@DMProductions but you shouldnât follow that rule if you shoot at 60 fps and you want to get the conventional motion blur. Gerald Undone has made a great example video about this matter
@@DMProductions You can find it by searching âGerald Undone motion blurâ
4K is bad advice. Monster data hog. Most people donât sod around in post and most people canât see the difference between 4K and 1080p even on a large TV
I agree and so does my media employed brother. 1080 is fine. 4k if you are trying to crop.
I agree....2.7k seems to be fine enough for a boost from 1080p
Hey buddy I use only the DJI APP and the video came up good .but once I up load it to instagram or tickTock or you tube it become blurry, and before I dint have the problem ,I donât know if I change any important settings that s not support by this instagram or the others.
the dji fly app isn't great, try vn studio or lumafusion if on your phone
đ
@@DMProductions hey body is me again I down load VN app and yes it s better than dji app , but once again the videos a soon I share or up load they miss quality and I was wrong all my video from the Beginning are like that . I dint noticed, what do you think is a problem , if I record with the drone and I have a nice video 4K and then after share the quality is low , because I m not using the computer or it might be some settings , I know you are a professional and you time and many cost you already,,but if you can give me a tip , my videos are just recreational for my family âïž
converting these videos are weird
Hey thank anyway , doing more research in you tube .I Learn and I know you know it s also the settings instagram CZcams etc , they are always coming in the fault at 720 , you need to change it to HD or 1080 , I already tried and it s very clear but I havenât doing a good video to upload it and leave . Thank for the app it s great for editing .
