I just got my mini 2. I'm 68 and as a kid always wanted an RC airplane, but never did. I had watched about 12 other videos before finding this one. I'm trying to film video through some trees and branches for a video trailer for my upcoming launch of my novel. I just want to thank you for this video - the clearest, most to the point, most practical I have found. I've been trying to figure out how to slow things down for my project, and had seen others talk about the advanced gimbal settings. But, for me, this video of yours is gold. Thanks - I subscribed and liked. I am truly grateful. PS - the other thing that impresses me is that it appears you actually respond to your followers that comment - again - good show, keep up the good work.
I'm 50 & in a Wheelchair & also always wanted actually a Remote controlled car back back in the 70's Santa could bring Me 1 🤣 I can now go places my Wheelchair can't take Me, I live in Derry so I'm sure I'll bump into Mr Drone Creative👍
Not sure if your still around but, do those settings work just as well indoors because I shot in a warehouse 4k 30 and the footage was stuttering when yawring
Hi Matthew - the DJI mini 2 settings have changed an now state Max angular velocity. Is this referring to pitch? Also there is an expo graph - what settings would you recommend for all 3 modes?
Hey Anthony, this was changed with a recent firmware update. Here is the updated video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g-a6x04pJe4.html
High can anyone Help, I just Got a dji mini 2 and i have a white screen ie no Image in camera or in video mode, do i have a physical problem with the camera, or is it a settings problem ? any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Billy, thanks for these setting, they worked really well - do you think you could do an update for the cinematic settings on the mini 2 now the firmware has been updated please in 2023?
Excellent resources, thank you. The latest DJI Fly App has new terminology for the advanced camera settings - Gain and Expo control. Do you have any recommendations on the settings for the Expo parameter please.
Not sure if you can help..I have the mini 2, I took it out today and noticed the gain and expo have no effect it's to fast..no matter what settings I put it on it makes no difference on any modes..I'm lost..
hey thanks for tutorial!! However I cant find advaned gimbal settings and shooting methods with my mini 2, any suggestions? it's up to date , thank you
Hello Mattheww Brennan, I have a question. Today I've tried to change pitch and yaw settings as yours, but first I switched from metric to imperial units. Now can't get back to metric, I have only degrees/second. How to get it back, do you know by any chance?😁
I just received my mini 2. Being my first drone I didnt want to buy the newest and most expensive thing out there. Anyhow, I tried to follow your steps and was able to do most but it seems that maybe there has been an update since the video was created? I can’t seem to do all the things you’ve done here.
Fantastic info and great assist as always, many thanks. I also started on 25 fps and after repeated attempts at trying to fix the jitter, and one attempt buying ND filters as thought that was causing it (maybe party so), finally switched to 30 fps and issue resolved immediately. Cheers and thanks again for your awesome content…flight captain!
25fps is too low to remove jitter without an extreme wrapping FX. Keep the frame-rate and shutter high and use an ND filter in reference to ISO to control light coming in on the sensor. This grant you the ability to lower frame-rates to a smooth cinematic 24fps. You don’t have to mess with ISO if you have an adjustable ND filter in which I have no clue if you make them for drones.
Thank you! I'm new to drones and just shot my first footage. Came out pretty low quality and I was wondering why. Totally forgot to change settings to 4k and recorded it on 1080p 24fps. Def starting off with your settings and tweak little bit as i get more comfortable.
Yeah, they have changed this with a recent update - here is the updated video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g-a6x04pJe4.html Hope it helps!
Hey Matthew, I really appreciated your Mini 2 Settings video, however, since your video, DJI has made a significant change in the Mini 2 app - in particular the Gain & Expo Tuning addition. It would be extremely helpful if you could do a new video on the updated settings, with particular explanations and your settings for Gain & Expo tuning. Thks, Bruce
Sorry Matthew, pls disregard my previous msg. I have found a Mini 3 Pro video that you did on the Gain/Expo and believe I can incorp what you said there into my Mini 2 Gain/Expo settings.
This has changed with the latest firmware update - please check out this updated video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g-a6x04pJe4.html
I found the new video. It's for the DJI Mini 3, but settings options are the same for DJI Mini 2. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g-a6x04pJe4.html
love to fly, don't know s$%t about camers, but trying out your suggestions really made a difference! still ha ent filled up the 1st card and I have no idea about post editing photography, but I can tell it looks better on the low res-previews on the phone
I ve just watched your setting video Matthew I just like to fly and not do post editing as it too complicated for me. The settings suggested can I used them all the time. Thanks 👍
Hia mate, just a quick question if you dont mind, ive just been following your great settings advice but when it comes to the gimbal settings i have not got the Advanced Gimbol Settimgs coming up on my screen, any idea why ??
Hey man I am just wondering what SD you use for your DJI mini 2. My SD card doesn't record 4K... (I have dji mini2 ) Edit: I just subscribed, I have watched lots of your videos and found them really helpful. Looking forward to more DJI mini 2 vids. thanks :) keep up the great work
Hey. Since the last app update this information can be found in Control -> Gain & Expo Tuning. However, they also changed the whole section which means the info regarding that specific section in this video is outdated.
I was looking forward to applying these setting but it looks like the app gimbal settings has updated and changed completely. Can you create a new video???
Thanks for all the great advice I’m a new subscriber to channel it was recommended in one of the drone groups on photography I’m in I’m new to this I do have to say I fired up my drone to make some of these adjustments and ended up with a new update there appears to be no advanced gimbal settings to change any chance of an update maybe even in just a txt reply Than You
Im new to Drones Always wanted one Bought one last weekend DJI mini 2SE Love it Watched lots of RU-vidrs on this Found you the best, easiest to clearly understand your explanations 👍 Thank you Will be watching lots more Im hooked on my DJI mini 2SE Really easy to learn Thanks again for your tips Makes it a lot easier to
Thank you much! great info/advice Matheww! appreciate what you do my friend, definitely going to try these settings on my mini 2! Continue producing great content.
Hey Billy, I guess you don't use your Mini2 much anymore, but it would be ace if you could update this to include the current FW settings for Gain & Expo tuning. Your vids are great, so helpful, thanks!
...that's a dangerous slang you speak! Initially I misunderstood that you wanted to say "I shoot in 4 as many others do"... ;-) Great walkthrough! Still valid in 2022-08 IMO!
Hi I have updated to RC Firmware 04.11.0034 App Version 1.6.9 and cant change out of 4K video when I select 4K 30 on the screen it RES & FPS is not available what am I doing wrong
Thanks a lot for all those videos which I find very helpful (my drone has not really lift up yet). Not being a total newbie to photography, I understand the meaning of M.M., but it seems I cannot set it in Pro Mode. In AUTO I can simply slide it to my needs, in PRO it seems to be fixed at "-3.0" and without changing shutter speed or ISO I cannot change exposure of my images / video. Is there a way to change M.M. even in PRO mode? Thanks in advance.
@@themcbs3991 he doesn't answer doesn't look like. I don't have it either running. App 1.4.4 so he's probably an latest 1.6.1 or 1.6.4 fly app version, I'm guessing that's the issue.
@@Roboticdoughbull3k @MatthewwBrennan Unfortunately this video is already outdated. The latest firmware and software settings have changed the menus...
Matthew, love the channel. I have a DJI mini 2, but can’t find the “advanced gimbal settings “ on the latest version of the app. Can you point me in the right direction please. Thank you.
can you help please. flying sideways, 4k 30,60. the footage jitters every 5 seconds or so. not smooth flying sideways. im very dissapointed. im in auto mode. is there a setting. thanks.
Hi, the DJI fly app I have is only the basics, I don’t have the three dots to right corner, it says academy? Also the drone won’t fly at night, do you know why? Thank yiu
Very informative, thank you. I’ve had my Mini 2 for a few days now (great deal on Amazon Prime day). I’ll be firing it up and tweaking the settings later for sure 👍🏼😊. Keep up the great work.
@@wayne9031 Thanks. Fantastic deal wasn’t it 👍🏼 Hope you have fun too. Haven’t used it properly yet due to the heatwave. The maximum recommended operating temperature from DJI is 40°C and the drone gets quite hot normally anyway. Fingers crossed for cooler weather in the next few days and some serious ‘droning’ 👍🏼😊
Hi Matt, excellent videos, I'm lapping them up. Not sure if you'll see this comment but you mentioned you use 1/60th shutter and try to aim for about -0.3 or -0.7 exposure, however you didn't mention if this can only be achieved with ND filters, or is there another parameter that can be changed?
Hi Gavin, happy to help. It entirely depends on how bright the conditions are. If it's a sunny day you will need ND filters to achieve that exposure, but if it's a dull day you might be able to get away with no ND or a very low strength ND. At night time you will probably need to increase ISO at that shutter speed to get that exposure as it will be very dark. Hope that helps.
Exactly the same question I wanted to ask. I do not have filters and I tried setting the exposure to 1/60 and -0,7 on a bright day but it was way too over exposed and bright… So without filters I am shooting in auto mode and locking in the mm at - 0,7.
Hi Matthew. I wanted to follow the steps in this video to get smoother footage from my Mini 2 but I don't have a button for advanced gimble settings. It was there when I first bought the drone but now its gone. Have DJI removed it in an update and if so what are my options now please? App version 1.10.1 Aircraft Firmware 01.07.0200 RC Firmware 04.11.0200 Any help much appreciated.
Great info (as usual) and I'm making a checklist to keep in my mini 2 bag so I can verify they are still set correct after updates happen. Good timing to do this (and tinker with my new DSLR) since I won't actually be flying until at least Sat with crazy weather we are having!
It's not clear what are the other options to the "Emergency Only" propeller stop, what is "the emergency event", what does it mean that it is enabled for emergency ... there is lack of context.
Thank you so much for the great drone content. Can you please do an updated video on the gimbal settings? They have changed quite a bit since you posted this. Even if it’s a reply to this comment with some suggestions for the new settings that will get us close to what you have in this video.
Hi my gimbal setting screen show a different figure from the screen in the video. Yours is just numbers mine show °/s. How would your numbers translate to those of mine?
You explained what everything does except for payload mode, all you did was tell us what it means but not what it does. You did that for everything else but that.
Does your aircraft actually restart after resetting the camera parameters like the dialog box says? In the camera tab at the bottom there is a reset camera parameters button. When you press it a box pops up that says your aircraft will restart automatically. Mine does not restart at all. Just curios. Thanks
great video this is my fist kinda real drone, before i really set up .i have the most trouble with getting the sky right since i send it up to take alot of photos and vids of on going weather events and the aftermath .as i chase storms in the oklahoma area. usa, what would u suggest on bright days and also taken cloud video on geeting them really looking good plz pm if u like i could use some help
took me forever to adjust the yaw rate,for me it is way to slow. hidden under the gimbal adjustment tab. not a gimbal adjustment it is a drone control adjustment
Hi i just bought dji mini 2 and the setting is soo different from this bcs its a updated version, is it okay if you make a updated version one thank you+
