Newbie to the Drone scene, just got myself a Mavic Air and am loving your videos, very informative and puts me at ease with knowing tricks of how to do and what not. Ignore the haters about the flailing hands, to a deaf person the use of hands are a way of communication, it shows the emotions, creativity and excitement you are feeling in getting out these videos, at least you’re not boring to watch, 😂Keep up the great work Dude!
Francis dude your content is good ….. just calm down and sit on those hands, Tip 1. 99% of the time you say 'them' you should be using the word 'those'.
I follow you and Mike since a while and like your enthusiasm and emphasis teaching the tips. I also love both of you footages and I am trying to improve mine Proper Job!
That's my tip for you. When you making video put music volume down to -6dB, because when you speak your voice is not compressed and not sounds loud, but music is heavily compressed so it sounds a lot louder than speech. Cheers!
Loved your tips Francis!! Thanks for sharing!!! I discovered your channel through Drone Supremacy and I am really glad!!!! I just got my new mavic air and I am learning how to create cinematic look footages. Yours are amazing!!!!
Hi Francis - I really love all your Mavic Air tutorials. I just bought a Mavic Air a few weeks ago and they've really helped me! I have a question though - I just shot some footage this morning - some in 1080 120fps for slow mo and some in 2.7K 24fps. The 24fps footage looks great, but the 1080 is really grainy and has an almost TV static look to it. Have you seen this before? Just wondering if maybe I have a setting wrong? (I had the shutter at 240). I'd love to get that slo mo footage crisper! Thanks!
Great video Francis, I just was looking at Mikes channel and made a comment about you both... Then checked out your channel and pow there was Mike.... Great work guys, we get the BEST of both worlds.. Cheers
Actually, for "cinematic" footage you want your shutter speed to be 2x your frame rate ... so for 24fps you'd want 1/48 and for 30fps you'd want 1/60. Then use ND filters to knock the light back if you need to. This way you'll get smooth motion and blur without the stuttery look of digital cameras.
Great tips bro. I got one for you. Make your audio the same when mixing. Annoying as F that your audio is low, music is loud. Thanks again for the tips
2:10 the shutter speed should be determined by your frame rate for the most cinematic look, and a more realistic motion blur. It should be double the frame rate so30 fps = 1/60th of a second, 120fps = 1/240th of a second, and so on... the only exception is if it's too bright and the lowest iso is still too high
But his shots still look good right? I feel like I've been using the 180 degree rule with ND filters and all my shots look like shit. Might give it a go
Hey man love your tips I’ve been flying a phantom for a year now and just purchased a mavic air I put my videos on my channel and do it more for my pleasure but if you are bored I would love it if you viewed a few and gave a little bit of criticism I know they don’t even compare to yours but that’s the goal! And I should do better stuff with D-cinelike
Great job! I have a Dji spark aswell, and mine easily overheats and fails to rise to a high altitude and often fails in hot summer heat. Was just wondering if this is normal or I should get a replacement? Thanks, love your work
tips are spot on, I've learnt a lot from you both and taking that knowledge with me to enjoy Scotlands North Coast 500 next week ...it caught my eye at 3:06 ...is that distortion with the lens at the top the screen as the wave breaks ?
Great video! But how do you play with different frame rates IF you want to shoot everything in 4K? I found the difference in picture quality is big in the Air, between Full HD and 4K. Thank you and keep up with the good work!
Nice work. I need to get out and about with my drone more often. Sometimes I think I worry too much about over using it but then I end up not using it at all :(
Hi. At 2-36 and 6-02 time you have the so desaturated sky (monochrome). I have to Mavic Air and I have the same problem ..... do you know how to fix it?
Francis, just got my Mavic Air 2 days ago. Am up and running but I feel the video is not that crisp. I shot just below 4K and 30 fps. On say, a sunny day and shooting around a golf course. what settings would you use? And what about editing and then saving. What are the good numbers to use? Thanks, gave your video a "thumbs up" and a sub.
Great tips mate! Just got the Air, and i'd appreciate if you could help me with the white balance. You mentioned that is very imprtant to set it properly. Right... But how? :D Could you make or recommend a tutorial?
@2:36, after talking about the importance of not clipping "them whites and them blacks" you immediately show a shot where of a lake where the highlights are blown and the shadows are completely gone. The "perfect image". Please explain.
I stopped watching at this point. Forgetting that his hand movements and speech are irritating, you don't talk about the importance of particular settings and then immediately show a clip which contradicts what you've just said.
Another great video and great to see you teaming up with Drone Supremacy. This is a Spark question but related to fps. I know with the Spark you have a max of 30 fps but is there a way to get decent slow motion shots with it? You can slow to 24 without to much of an issue but any less and it starts to get choppy!
I've just uploaded some raw footage to my channel but in some parts the left side of the screen has black lines/artefacts. Anyone have any ideas what cause this kind of thing? I'm using D-Cinelike
I wanna ask you a Q re Histogram. Can I use that when I use ND filters too? First I put on a ND filter, then I look at the histogram and reduce to perfect "mountain". Is that OK ??
@@krisdeagle1455 Motion Blur? I think someone here is not distinguishing between shutter speed and frame rate. That still makes not sense to me that 25p should be called high speed look! Now I think he meant high setter speed, not frame rate.
On 1:50 you record in 1080p/50 with shutter 2000. I always try to set shutter two times my fps rate - here maximum shutter 100! So you dont have any natural motion blur in that scene or do you have any trick?
In 2019 nobody wants unreliable wifi drones. DJI, stop making wifi drones, at the least the Mavic Air should have been made with Lightbridge tech like the older phantom series Advanced and Pro models.
