Seamless Transitions: DJI Mavic Mini + Osmo Pocket 

Why use the Osmo Pocket instead of just trying to do everything with the Mavic Mini? Because the Osmo has higher resolution (4k vs 2.7k), more customizable features (cinelike-d, gimbal modes, etc), a microphone + optional mic input accessory (in case someone is speaking in your shot), and a built-in screen so you can see what you're doing. Plus you can mount the pocket easily on an extension pole - not possible with the Mini. I understand why some people may think they can do these shots with just the Mini - but I really don't think it's a practical solution. These shots are harder than they look. Try them and you'll see what I mean. The point of this techinque is to show you that you can do a traditional gimbal shot with high precision using the Pocket, then at any point transition to an aerial "fly away" shot with a seamless transition in post. Or start with aerial, and transition to gimbal. This would be incredibly difficult to execute smoothly with just the Mini, especially if you try to do it all as one take. But hey, maybe I'm wrong! If you've executed these types of shots with just your Mavic Mini, post your footage below so we can all see it! I'm excited to see the awesome shots everyone has created with their gear.

It’s good to see these consumer products used in creative ways to produce professional looking results. Nice job!

Thank you so much for your great work, Brandon!

More, more, more! So much fun to watch.

Such a fresh perspective! Thank you Brandon!

Video-graphology tips at their best! Thanks man! Love your unique style

Thank Brandon, you’re always so helpful!

Always cool to watch your videos and how you accomplish different techniques!

Finally I’ve been contemplating for this camera now I’ll get one

Jesus Christ man, makes you appreciate anything watched ever so much more. Such a pain in the ass but so worth it. Unbelievable. Wish I knew a scintilla of the editing techniques or even the thought to do it.

Another great little tutorial from the master. I own both the Mavic Mini and the Osmo Pocket and you've inspired me to have a crack at creating some videos using your techniques. Great work. Thanks again!

Simple yet effective transitions!!

Brandon, maestro......gracias como siempre 👍🏻, eres el mejor

Huge ups on breaking down the transitions!

Transitions from the master is always a good watch! 😀 All the best

Man, you cannot just dislike your content. I say it again and again: ALWAYS ON POINT! Thank you for being on a platform where the great majority repeat the same fking sentence 7 times in 5 minutes.

Very well explained. Never waste a minute with Li.

Well, this gives me IDEAS! Thank you, Brandon!

Awesome... I am going to try this soon .

Terrific work Brandon. I especially liked the last sequence. Something that makes a huge difference in all of these sequences is composition and timing of the move with the subject in frame. The camera movement is always motivated by subject. The transition from outside the house to inside was helped by the spin-sitdown but I think you were still juuuuust playing catch-up to get to the door. These shots take sooo much practice. And then of course there's the whole Post part which I have so much to learn on. Thanks.

Thanks Brandon and Dji! This is very useful content.

As always - brilliant 💕

That was awesome, I learned some tricks today. Thank you Brandon!

Exactly what I was looking for!

Great work! really helpful, thanks for that!

Master Li, Brandon you’re a legend man. What a cool video!

Another great tutorial! Highly recommend Brandon's Filmmaking Course for anyone watching this. It has been incredibly insightful for me not just in terms of technical mastery of gimbal moves, but also how to think about and plan shoots as a filmmaker.

I've used Osmo Pocket and Mavic Mini footage on the same video, but this is taking it to a whole another level! 🤯

Thank you for this amazing and instructive video. I love that mini! I am going to save for one! ☺️

Cool shots!! Nice to see some drone work 😎

Awesome work!

Excellent content - been following you since your old website. Your presentation is so easy to watch, laidback but clear and intentional. Thanks for all your output over the years.

Very cool! Recently bought the pocket and really like it. Considering the drone next.

Awesome tips ! Thanks a lot Brandon..

This great mate. Very informative!

looks so cool

Great video! One of the most creative filmmakers on RU-vid!

Fantastic!!

Amazing as always... one day I’ll afford the course ... can’t wait

Hey that’s Albuquerque! Awesome tips man!

Great job! Thanks for sharing!!

Great job. Informative, insightful and artistic. Love the behind the scenes and looking forward to enrolling in your school once the world straightens out a bit. Peace.

This is something that I need to try with my pocket and mini. I thanks for sharing.

Awesome job!

Wow you are quite the magician!

Dope comprehensive video

inspired! Thank you Brandon

I didn't notice any of the imperfections until you pointed them out. I thought they all looked really great. still on the fence about taking your course my birthday is next week so maybe that will be my gift to myself.

I love this guy!!!

Great ideas, dude! Like it!

Great little tutorial 🤙

I love this video Bro!

damn! that shot #4 was a beast!

this is just the most excellent content. thank you. can't even think of a joke to post the video is just that good

Master💓

We appreciate your effort for making videos for us users of different kinds of camera Brandon! Yeah I noticed the imperfections of the transitions but then again this is because I am used to seeing your travel videos. If some other person had shot this I don’t mind but when it’s you I am looking for the bokeh the sound design but then again this is a tutorial so yeah lol

Thanks so much Brandon

Beautiful video, well done👍🎥🌍

great tutorial !!

Awesome tips 👍 thanks for sharing

This was super dope. Going to have to try some of these. I have Mavic Pro and an Insta360 tho

Waiting for more videos from osmo pocket ❤️ thanks for your videos ❤️

Really good video!

You move like a ninja! :)

Wonderful! ✌️

Brilliant.

Love it 😁😁

T H E M A S T E R 🙌🏻⚡️🎥💪🏻💥👏🏻

Goodness man. You make things so easy, even with consumer graded product, like DJI osmo pocket. Nicely done. I need to work on my body movements while holding my DJI osmo pocket. And I just realize you don't even have your smartphone phone plugged into your DJI osmo pocket while taking those shots. Amazing.

Iloveit thanks so much master

He the one who never disappoint learned a lot from him

Visually appealing + useful information. Obviously, you value my time Brandon Li. I am happy to subscribe.

Beautiful excellent video

Amazing work! My first gimbal was the original Osmo. It's amazing how many affordable choices we have now compared to back then. Between the built-in stabilization in my iPhone and having so many choices for one-handed gimbals for mirrorless cameras, I don't think I would have a use for an Osmo type camera anymore.

And I am a proud owner of the Osmo Pocket when Brandon uses it :D

I’ve been honestly contemplating between a GoPro and Osmo pocket to go along with my mavic mini. Seems obvious after watching this 👍

🔥🔥🔥🔥

You are perfect master

Thank you very much 🙏👍

Thank you 🙂 it will help me to improve my videos 👍

Just what we needed - thanks for all this help rom your channel Brandon - you make it look so easy! I just attempted to put together something that shows our veiwers what's involved in making a film fo 10 to 17 minute duration about the Lakes, but it didn't work out, it wont stop us from trying again from a differerent angle as soon as we have more time. thanks. Thats a well earned like & sub from us :-) Thanks again.

Cool video

Awesome content! I just completed my filmmaking tools with buying a drone to pair with my gimbal and wide angle 2.8 lenses setup. I am looking to get the sigma 35mm 1.4 next, but I already have enough tools to achieve those effects.

Thanks!

Could this be done only using Mavic Mini handheld instead of Osmo Pocket?

nice............

The transition was so good that transitioned to an advert 😂

nice

The first thing I noticed was the Sandia mountains in the background. :) In fact you look like you are very close to my Sisters house on Kensinton that backs up to Los Poblanos open space.

Great video. Maybe you could show more dji osmo pocket tricks?

Some great tips there ,thank you. I'm wondering whether it would be a good idea to shoot in D-Cinelike on both devices to help with colour consistency ?

wow

please make more videos like this

This is great, Brandon - are you in Cali shooting this or somewhere else?

Hi Brandon, thanks for sharing. Maybe only me, but I need more times than necessary to comprehensive your gimbal movement of shot 3 from interior shots, until I realize your left is my right and vice versa. lol :D

It’s quite funny to see out of all your thumbs up there are only 10 thumbs down lol you can tell there’s 10 people who just don’t get what you are trying to teach someone.... bye the way thank you for all your Time & Effort Much Appreciated.......... plus thumbs Up 👍 and Smashed that like button.. Stay Safe ...👍😉😎💯👌😷

Thank you for all this...nothing more...

Gday mate, I'm Crocodile Dun-Li :)

Which softwear use to editing ???

FCPX 👌
