Love doing this on my M2 zoom, on my newer drones i fly backwards and zoom in manualy, or the other way and fly forwards and zoom out. Can be hit and miss so using waypoints makes sense. Great video Shaun.
Heck yea, man! This is one of the coolest effects I’ve seen. I don’t understand the logic behind how it works but it’s really neat. I could never get it right doing it manually because I’m pretty uncoordinated with the precision flying stuff but these waypoints have totally changed the results for me man. Awesome video
When you zoom in, you get a narrower field of view (you see less in the frame), but if you're traveling physically away from the subject as you zoom in, the subject stays the same, while the frame itself around it changes. So you have like a 100 degree view, and as you fly away and zoom in, you're further, so the subject stays the same, but the view is now like 15 degrees (arbitrary numbers used to illustrate the point).
Thanks Shaun, very interesting. I've now purchased Maven for Apple. I will try it with this on my Mini2. Trying to avoid another bit of gear to cart around the world. For sure way points is much better than trying to get a smooth video manually.
@@shaunthedrone I managed go do the effect. Very pleased with it. Used manualmatic with the Mini 2. Took five attempts to get flight speed and zoom coordinated to get the right effect.
Brilliant - thanks for that Shaun - can't wait to get out and try that! "Forgot to press record"????!!!! Can't say that's ever happened to me! 😬🤭 (OK, but only about every blimmin time I go out 🤣🤣😂😂)
Great sir i really appreciate. Your explanations are really easy compared to another explanation i saw in an other channel. Now i'm abble to realise this vertigo effect very easy. Thank you so much an keep giving us good tutos. I follow you and i really enjoy your job
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. Any drone with Way Points, it will work. Not got the Mavic Air 2, so not sure it has Way Points. Many thanks for watching.
I did try this today but it was a big fail. I did try to do this on my parked car inside the garage (start point) and to move the drone backwards on the driveway. Well, I guess I need to try it outside of the garage where it is not too busy and on a day, when it is not too windy.
Glad you're trying it out, to be honest it only works from the front but good to experiment and hopefully you may find a way. Many thanks for watching.
@@deveshtawre5459 Yeah, you'd still film the move with the drone... But it's very easy to just "zoom in" in post and get that effect. And you can use more powerful algorithms to zoom in than what the drone can do, so you get better quality. It's totally valid to do it this way too, I'm just saying...
@Shaun the Drone Hey, hoping you can help me, I have tried doing this with the exact settings you have on my Mini 4 Pro. When moving from WP1 to WP2 though, the zoom does not transition at all from 1x to 4x as it does on your footage. Even when it gets to WP2, it doesn't snap to 4x zoom straight away either. It just remains on 1x. What have I missed?
Hi, many thanks for your question, looks like you followed the instructions, when doing WP2 slide the Zoom to 3X times then ready to go. Like I said, you may have to do it a few times to get the correct results or maybe cancel Waypoints and do it all again. It will happen its just getting it all correct at the time depending on what your using as the object - height, speed and distance, wish you luck.
Thanks Sean , as i get into this drone, I will refer to your channel, I just subscibed , since its clear you know about them ,and I like you as a bloke , VERY chilled and helpful. Can I ask how you get 4K Video to say a computer ? I last vid on mt channel was imported to my phone , yet it only came out in 420 resolution ? Can you help me with that at all ? Thanks you have this channel up for us beginners 🙂
Many thanks for your comment and glad you enjoy my videos, I'm always learning and try to pass on info and sometimes - I get it wrong :) I always use 1080HD 60fps and use the drone SD card, plug it into the computer for download. I've heard some people having transfer problems with their phones, it somehow down sizes the footage. When using the SD card, remember after you downloaded the footage to computer to Format the SD card, so you have a clean SD card before flying. Many thanks for joining my channel.
@@shaunthedrone Your so welcome Sean, there is much truth in the saying " Everyday a schoolday " ha ! and no , we dont get stuff right all the time, part of the human condition ,Whether the drones master us , or we master the drones remains to be seen, but all have a piece of the puzzle im sure. I have a Windows 7 pc as my main PC/TV ( set up so I can watch you tubes on it etc and things like sermons and pastors fom abroad, so I can also see the signs od the times ) but anyway I also have a windows 10 laptop, I will see soon what happens when I plug drone or SD card into that . And when its on YT or any video channel, then I can erase its , the card is a sandisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC card, SD Card, V30 Memory Card, 4K UHD, up to 200 MB/s, SanDisk QuickFlow Technology, RescuePro Deluxe Data Recovery Software, UHS-I, Class 10, U3, V30 ~~~ So ill keep formatting it once its shot something , good plan thank you and happy to be at your channel God bless you and happy flying David 🙂
Hello there 😊 I have a problem with my dollyzoom effect when trying to do one ..... The zoom is very fast and doesn't long as the distance until waypoint 2 !?! ..... Also, have you notice if you unfold the zoom tab on the left, there is a auto mode in grey .... What's for ? Regards
It takes a while and many retakes to get it just right. I had to speed up the drone footage for the video - just keep trying and it will work. Many thanks for watching.
@@shaunthedrone Oh no, :D please don't get me wrong. I was just asking, cause i don't know if you can zoom in/out with the controller manually while flying. i was just trying to ask about it :D .. i am on the edge of buying mini 4 pro, thats why :)
The results I have been experiencing while setting up in this exact same way is that the zoom happens all at once. It just zooms from 1x to 4x all in one move which is pretty much a useless result. What are your thoughts and how do you go about having the zoom affect happen in a way that is even close to the matching the speed at which the drone is backing up?
Many thanks for your comment and it took me a few times getting the zoom and speed right. Experiment with the zoom and the speed. On the second waypoint, you set the zoom, so it should work. Let me know how you get on but don't give up.
@@cobradude2009 I have not figured it out yet. I have got some pieces of the so-called vertigo effect coincidentally in some footage that I have shot while using other flight features along with playing with the zoom on the control wheel but nothing that I have figured out how to control. I have thought about trying "progressive" waypoints where the zoom is adjusted incrementally at each of the different waypoints as the drone follows the waypoints as it moves away from the foreground object but I have not tried it yet. I don't think Shaun the Drone guy knows exactly how it works as he just says play with it until you get it to work.
