6 Tips To Improve Your DRONE Footage 

This is probably the best made drone tutorial I've watched. Thanks Jake, this was spot on. Looking forward to seeing a drone movement tutorial

Rule #1: Actually GO to somewhere worth filming with a Drone. Rule #2. See Rule #1.

1 - 2:15 Shoot in D-LOG if possible 2 - 2:44 Use F4 if using Mavic 2 Pro with Polar PRO ND Filter -> Aperture: F4, 30FPs, 1/60th shutter speed. 3 - 3:06 Use ND Filters. Use shutter speed to be double of frame rate. Example 24fps should have 1/50th shutter speed. 4 - 4:17 Use 30 fps for smooth movements. 5 - 5:20 Achieve smooth movements. Avoid jerks.

The bottom line to improving your drone footage is to go to beautiful locations like those in your video, but your tips are still very useful. Thanks.

Shoot in golden hour and everything looks epic.

For anyone not yet enrolled in the course, I highly recommend it. I joined about a month ago and it's worth it in every sense. Great content, extremely responsive and they add new content all the time.

I've watched tons of other tips and tutorials on drone footage the past year after I bought me a Mavic 2 Pro. But this is by far the best all arounder out there. Every info I've got from those videos came in place after watching yours. Thank you so much. Subscribed. :)

4.35 - the best footage in video!

Epic drone shots ! In my opinion smartphone shots + orange and teal LUT on top almost has the same cinematic effect.

Fantastic tips from FTFM, as usual. Crisp, beautiful, concise and really well-presented.

the only channel that doesn't recommend Mavic air 2 over the Mavic pro 2. Man I love the honestly on this channel, pls keep it this way !

Excellent video! One of the best drone videos I have seen!! Thank you!

Great practical list that absolutely saved me some time and energy! Thanks for the concise tutorial, Jake!

Been looking for ways to improve my drone game slightly and these are a great start! Thanks!

Great tips brother! I am about to head out to the Rocky Mountains to do some drone filming for a new video I am making :)

Hands down, one of the best tutorials about drones on RU-vid.

Parker nailed it by bringing Jake onto the team. This is by far the best video tutorial content on RU-vid.

Spent years looking for best tutorial, I found it! Thanks a million guys!

I think its time to jump into fulltime filmakers course rather than film school

This tutorial was spot on! Thanks Jake! Great content!

Fantastic tips which I agree with, although in tests, I've found D-Cinelike to be as good as D-log for grading, but it gives a slightly less flat image to look at whilst shooting, which helps with judging exposure correctly. Thanks for the great video!

I appreciate the to-the-point pro tips you offered. Some are out there for a joy ride which I do sometimes too. But this helps me know what potential clients might expect and hone those pro skills.

This tip, Pitch Speed & Smoothness was seriously COOL! 5:51

By far the best tips on the “market”!! Thanks a bunch.

Blessings! Such a GREAT TUTORIAL.

Despite knowing composition and the general tips for recording any type of video, this is super useful for someone who's just picked up their first drone. Thanks a lot!

This is one of the best simple drone tutorial I’ve watched

Best video of drone I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing all these tips!

That shot at 3:19 was Provo,Utah a nice shot of Timpanogas!!

Good to See jake back

Excellent tutorial! Checking the wind speed and direction On apps like UAV forecast or Tomorrow Weather (previously Climacell) can also help a lot while flying a drone, especially for beginners.

I love your sense of humour! I don't know much about drones but am a writer and I am writing an article on drones. You explained the technical stuff so well that even I could understand most of what you were talking about! You made me laugh when you said "...raise the shutter speed that will also make your footage look like garbage." Nice, informative video. Thanks!

Dude just flicked the joystick lmao

I might have missed my window for Parker to respond, but maybe a question to the masses. What is the best Color temperature setting for golden hour on the drone? I've been setting mine to 5400K and then masking the sky and ground separately to grade separately. I warm up the ground colors by adding a bit of orange temperature because at 5400K things below the horizon appear way too blue, but the sky looks nice. Of course, I tweak the shadows, exposure, saturation,etc to make each mask layer look really good. I'm just wondering if I'm setting the best Color temperature to capture the best colors.... What's the optimal rule to follow at golden hour.

This is by far the best channel on RU-vid. I've been subscribed for a while, and you guys keep coming out with useful information. Most channels just start talking about themselves because they don't have anything useful to say anymore. Keep up the great work! Do you know if the original Phantom 4 also has 10 bit color in D-Log? Thanx! P.S. I love the new additions. Landon, Jake, keep it up.

I have a Mavic 2 Pro. This is the most helpful video on RU-vid. Thank you.

Reasonable, factual and thoughtful comments - I do not miss waving during the call

I believe the #1 unspoken tip is have an amazing scene to shoot. My backyard looks nice but a waterfall is going to look like a more professionally shot every time.

Sir...u r phenomenal...Earth is not so boring because of u all.... Long live Full Time Filmmaker!!

Far most informative drone tutorial i came across. Thanks and keep it up Jake

I like you're straight up flicking one of the joy sticks in that shot! Haha! Great video though! Thanks, Jake and other members of the FTF crew

My wife's just given me a 2 Pro for Christmas. Thanks for a really great intro to it.

This is the earliest I've ever been; 18 mins ago but there are 1.6k views 😃😃😃😃 this just prove what a great channel you guys have. Keep it up👍

Short and precise! Thank you so much guys! And thanks to ad 👻 this is how I found u! 😆

Excellent stuff from the masters of videography!

Tip number 0: Go to absolutely beautiful places 😂

Thank you Peter for the easy to understand video. I just bought the Mavic pro 2 and smart controller; a lot to learn for video. I have a photography back ground.

Great video, using almost the same settings on my Mavic 2 Pro! Can you please share also the following? - sharpening - contrast - saturation

Love these tips. I try to think about these things in all my flights.

I love the train sequence!

best channel by far! thanks for the honesty (unlike sponsored DJI channels) who are promoting the inferior mavic air 2

Thanks for the tips! Recently got a Air 2S and always looking for some improvement in filming... your Videos do help much!

Thanks for this summary. Simple and good. This will boost many peoples drone video work!

Fantastic video, thanks for putting these all together.

Coming from a PAL background (UK and then Australia) that tip about shooting 30fps blew my tiny mind. Thank you for that.

thanks for the video... you answered a couple questions I had... I always learn something for you guys... Thanks... (i'm flying the mavic 2 pro and love it)

Thanks Parker, outstanding work. Any mods to your specific recommendations/rules if shooting with Mavic 2 Zoom instead of Pro?

very nice to see this technique to driving drone. i have to save money to buy this on my upcoming videos. thanks.!!

Great tutorial.. love from Ghana 🇬🇭💪

I was almost about to order Mavic Air 2, not anymore after seeing this, thanks Jake and Parker.

Hey very well explained. Loved it. Thanks

Wow, ive done film for years and drones too and I learned so much!

Great video, thank you. Can you change those settings on the dji mavic pro?

thank you. Excellent video that truly teaches. Looking forward to trying your approach with my Air 2s.

Awesome tips as always!!! Great job!!! Thank You!!!

very clear and straight to the point bless you!

wow beautiful footage and scenes,, very well explained,, love it,, thanks for the share,

This is brilliant. Thanks so much.

I'll be starting a training course for drone operation and this tutorial is very helpful. Many thanks for the tips!!

Great video, I needed that advise and tips! Thanks guys

I love every video you guys put out. Thank you so much.

Even my drone is in a class way below MP2, the tips were very interesting and useful. 10x for the video.

I will be filming with a Mavic 2 Pro for a music video and this tutorial was Utterly Fantastic. Thank you so much for this great content!

Great tips, making me reconsider getting the Mav 2 (currently flying original Mav Pro)! Caught my eye at 5:20 - Cabo Azul! I stayed there and got some nice footage while in Cabo. Would love for you to take a look and provide tips of what I'm doing right and wrong. Thanks for this insightful tutorial, will utilize things from here that I'm not currently incorporating.

Greetings Parker, These 6 tips on improving drone footage were spectacular. You are a huge inspiration to an aspiring drone videographer such as myself, who wishes to advance in this field on a quality and business level. I really admire the specifics that you gave, such as the number of frames per second for the optimal quality. I'd love to get in contact with you, in order to ask you some questions on drone operations. Thanks!

This is an amazing video with a lot of useful tips. I believe flyers can also check apps like UAV forecast or Weather by Tomorrow to find ideal flying conditions.

Wow! Seriously some amazing footage!

Love your video Do you have any tips on manual focus? Although Mavic 2 have focus peaking, it can not zoom in the screen to verify focus

Take my money! 😂 Great tutorial guys! You have inspired us a lot!

thanks for the tips..very helpful for beginner drone users like me..i watched until the end..very useful..

Great work Jake!

That first video which I find on RU-vid tutorial it’s so great thank you

Love it when Jake says “garbage” 😂

Fantastic Parker. I waited long and patiently but will soon invest in a drone.

This is simply the best instruction video on the subject I've seen... And I've watched a lot! Now to improve my video! - oh, any tips on rolling shutter? :-)

Hello jake, I wanted to ask what is the best way to hold your drone controller? I see photographers hold the controller in different ways but which way is best to get smooth shots? Thank you!

some of the best advice ever! thank you !!!

Love your footage. I'm flying drones for 6 years now, and just decided to create my RU-vid channel. I hope you don't mind I'll youse your knowledge to get better at what I do. Thank you 😊
