DJI Mini 3 Pro VLOG - 7 Tips while shooting Start to Finish 

Absolutely love watching your videos. To the point, great information, and nothing click-bait about you or your channel. Glad you're on youtube for us.

Quick tip: the RC controller threads are size M2. A pair of M2 domed nuts fit perfectly for more comfortable use without sticks.

Please do more of these shadow/masterclass videos! It is so humbling that you show us you have the same struggles we do, and then encourage and show ways to overcome it. Would love to see more on hyperlapses, sunsets, tutorials etc. too. Please keep the great content coming!

SO helpful. This kind of virtual shadowing is exactly what I’m looking for

Great videos and I love how you show respect to the people and the birds. Good lesson!

Dude, you get straight to the point. I learned alof of what know about drones from your videos since your video style is quick and efficient. Thank you.

Man-O-Man this scenery is mesmerising 🤩 and awesome final cut 👏 recently discovered your channel, gamechanger for a drone newbie like me 🙏

Alex, this is just amazing. I have so many questions, but I really just want to enjoy the video. I’m happy with my Mini 2 for the rest of this year. I’ll keep working on my piloting skills. But I plan to get the Mini 3 for next season. Thanks for sharing!

So impressed with the pro quality content that can be created with this drone! Thanks for the tutorial.

Whooooaaaa ! Im in the premiere gang 🤟🏽 here within the 1st hour! Lets GOOOOO! 🚁

Thank you. So much value 🙏 You're the best

Super nice to see a shadow session like this. Great to see the process you go through! Very helpful

Brilliant - loved both the tutorials & actual end footage! 🤩

Man, thanks for all the humility and love of sharing you infuse all your vidscwiyh... each of your videos elevate my desire to move out of my boring Quebec landscape and go where beauty lies... thanks a million for giving me the desire to get back on the sticks... got a air2s from watching your vids

Breathtaking shots, I love your vids thank you

Dude thank you SO much for this video. SO insightful and helpful.

Love your explanation on everything.

So much info and how to's on youtube for a beginner like myself, but more often than not i gravitate to your vibe of presenting the process. I have so many visuals in my head of how i want to capture things, and your angle makes it easier. Nice!

Your videos are the best! Thanks for truly helpful content.

Awesome. It’s amazing what a good soundtrack does to your footage too. Thanks man.

As usual, great video! I enjoy your delivery.

Super-good, super-cool tutorial. Thank you for putting this together!

Every video of yours I see I wish I could like it 10 times and thats the only time on YT I feel this way. Youre the best! As soon as I have gotten my Mini 3 Pro im saving up for your course.

Great tips for getting better footage from your drone. Thanks for sharing Alex.

Just PERFECT! Great review!

I extremely vibe with you, thank you so much for these

ur a legend dude! love ur expertise and dry pan humor! keep it goin!

"Holy Smokes, I gotta show my... mother" I felt this in my soul cuz same

Great points. Love it thanks

I love how insightful you are. Straight to the point and your silly occasional funny side notes always crack me up. Love the content fam

Using your advice I've already been able to make four videos of my town I'm really happy with within a week of unboxing my DJI mini 3 pro as a total beginner. Really appreciate your pragmatic attitude in the creative space. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing these, buddy! Footages are beautiful. Mini 3 looks like one of DJI's best cinematic drones at the moment.

Thank you so much for your info. I just started out on droneflight and I have a feeling I am getting closer to a high quality drone footage in my professional career, also thanks to your advices.

I grew up in San Diego in the late '80s and no, I don't recall seeing anything this beautiful. You're indeed lucky. Great footage.

Great video and tips, thanks.

Yep. This is the good stuff. Thanks for the work you put in here dude 😎

Nice job. I appreciate the time you take to create and educate. Thanks

This just shows if you know what you doing you can get some amazing drone footage 😍

Loved how you showed the final product at the end, this was really good stuff!

Great video! Thank you!

So helpful. Thank so much!

thanks for sharing some really nice ideas.

So happy I discovered this channel! Value Packed / Entertaining! "Everything I've learned here i've been able to apply while flying and shooting with my DJI Mini SE; there's some golden tips here that have helped me grow my small channel!

Wow, that was super helpful! Please do more of these job shadows!

Great video .. Keep it up love watching him I learn a lot thank you 👍

Awesome video, and great info. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍

thanks for your video man!! very useful!

Amazing tutorial. 👏

Loved the style of video! Definitely down for some more of these!

Wow well done. Amazing final video..

To the point!!! Love it

As a beginner, these tips and insight are really useful and you explain in layman’s terms. Thank you. Subscribed 👍

Cool tutorial, cool footage, cool drone!

Great video, educational but not dry.

Great video from start to finish - many thanks for sharing the tips :)

Really enjoyed this type of video 👌🏽👌🏽

Thanks look forward to taking your class after I get the 107. I drove the 101 once looks like I need to go back when my mini finally arrives.

Fantastic... just got the mini 3 pro for my birthday. So far flying is like learning to drive a stick when I was 17... But I know there's hope since my next 2 cars were stick shift on purpose. Videos at the end feel like Scotland or Ireland. Content is superb! many Thanks

Awesome 🤩🙏🏼

So helpful , I Love it ! More of that Chief 👏👍 Greetz from Germany Bro ❤️

Good job Bob!

This is great

Best job!

A Master class for us newbies! And covered the use of nd filters... 👍🏼 but, you gotta get the extra battery bundle with charger... 😉

awesome.....thanks for sharing!!! 😃😃😃😃

Thank you!

Great videos

3. Commit and don't adjust. Very important thing to learn for videoing live on-stage events, too. Ten seconds of pretty good footage is much better than ten one-second shots of the same thing.

Love the videos man, your personality really makes it! BTW any reason you launch from the ground instead of your hand in these dirty areas?

Great vid mate, keen to test ur tips on my M3

THAT WAS AMAZING!!!! maybe a lil baked but that seemed like an entrance to a Nolan Film!

Thanks!

Great Video, enjoying and learning a lot from your channel, cheers from Brazil! Let me ask you something, in terrains like these, did you not find it better to take off and landing with the hand?

solid bro

you're amazing, I love you

Nice, I’m learning a lot from you. Mavic 3 Classic here, haven’t even launched yet.🤓 Thanks

100k soon 🔝

I love your videos. I'm trying to make time where I can to watch more of them. So many content creators post 30 minute videos that have about 7 minutes worth of content and they are too ignorant to realize how badly this hurts them. I love your videos because you say, "In this video I'm covering XYZ, a quick flash of the drone you're talking about or whatever while moving quickly into the content. Then you show what you're talking about while you fly through the information. It's a video...there is a rewind button. if you don't get it the first time, rewind and watch that part again, take notes, screenshots or whatever. By comparison, your 10 minute videos contain about 25 minutes worth of content. So many think people watch their videos to see their cheesy intro art work, but you realize people need short and concise information and you deliver.

Dude...you gotta do more by the ocean...the scenery totally sold it for me. Very informative too

This was super helpful thanks man! Where did you get the music at the end? It went perfect with your footage

Great!

Bro you are like the Good Will Hunting of drones.

Your vids are very well done and easy to watch and understand, I would like to buy one of these as an entry point and also do you offer classes or training? For drone and or editing etc .Please let me know, thanks Matt.

Love this location. Thanks for your video, very informative and helpful as always! I have one question and one suggestion, the question being: why exactly do you shoot your footage at 24 p? You mention yourself that it is a little bit jerky and I do confirm that. I see it all the time with videos on RU-vid and it becomes very obvious with drone footage: The problem is that on the one hand, everybody supposes that 24 p gives to most cinematic look, on the other hand almost everybody ignores the fact that YT videos are displayed on 60 Hz screens (smartphones, computer monitors) 95 % of the time. 24 p in 60 Hz produces judder (google 3:2 pulldown) that gets very obvious if there is a lot of camera movement involved. Drone footage is most prone to this effect because of the nature of drone camera movements (pans and shifts and tilts). Give it a try: do your drone footage at 30 p on a 30 p timeline and upload it like that to RU-vid. It's going to look way less jerky (and even more cinematic!) than 24 p on RU-vid. That, in combination with the right ND filters to get to around 1/60 shutter speed, would make the footage WAY less jerky and more cinematic and pleasing to watch, even though not "magical" 24 p. As an additional bonus: if you ever need that footage in a project that is requested in 24 p (e.g. a production for screening in cinema), put your 30 p drone footage in a 24 p timeline at 80 % speed and you have that magical not-slow-motion-but-more-beautiful-than-reality effect ;) And my suggestion: I would put the clip at 14:21 BEFORE the clip at 14:16 . That way the "reveal effect" and the surprise moment is more pronounced. As it is now, you fly over the edge at 14:21 and already know what's coming behind the edge. Best regards, Tom

Love this. Does the drone capture the audio of the waves you used or is that something else?

Hi! Big fan of the channel! The footage looks really breathtaking! If you don't mind me asking, in which area of north California is this from? I'm near San Fransisco myself and am looking for a cool location to fly my new drone (the mini 3 pro actually!).

dope video Alex. quick question do you prefer to shoot in 24 opposed to 30?

Really enjoyed this, thanks! Great tips. Quick question - I noticed you have an iPhone mount attached to your baseball cap. Seems like an elegant way of getting shots of your drone flying when your hands are occupied. Does it work well? Which one did you get?

Awesome!! Do you shoot in D-Cinelike on the Mini 3 Pro? And if so, what does your post colour workflow look like for it?

I would love to see you do the actual shooting process with DJI Mini 4 Pro!

there are 4 channels on RU-vid that I click Like before the video starts. One is Mirriam Piano, Ian in London playing with drones and a this one (cant recall the other ones). Serious content for serious people with a professional edge.

Great video! What software are you using to edit the videos?

.. That was fun thanks for taking us thru that process Lived in Pacific Beach La Jolla North Park Mission Valley Eastlake Downtown Oklahoma now Tulsa to Henryetta Truck Driver Morristown TN today Beautiful Cumberland Gap Drone footage oppty aplenty as a truck driver Looking to transition occupations Many Mahalos Be Well ...

I appreciate your video and the knowledge that you share. I've been meaning to ask about the 24fps though. Often I notice jagged motion like at 4:42 on the cliff. Previously I had the issue of such choppy movement when I was exporting in Premiere Pro and I didn't use "maximum render quality". It seems to me that shooting at 24fps and playing it on a 60hz monitor inevitably causes choppiness. Is that your impression too? If so, why do you (and so many others) shoot at 24p. I see it every time and I see no excuse for it (including the "but it's the cinema!").

Great tips! wonder however why you are also not using quickshots and mastershot?

Great video.. whats the cinematic song?
