Mavic Air – Settings for cinematic photography and video (PLUS one trick nobody is talking about)

Hey! Thanks! That really helped… Be been slowly making my way around the world East from Hawaii over the last year. Recently got my "Air" will post some videos soon (my last drone was a phantom 2 dinosaur bought in 2014) it is all magic now.. Thanks again Philip

Nice Man!! But I didn’t understand why you set the aspect ratio to 4:3 instead of 16:9….

Thank you you still get my like 🙌🙌🙌

Very infornmative, thanksWhen do you set  Anti Flickr on?

Are you using any nd filter?

The best, most informative cinematic settings video in 11 minutes…beautiful footage, thank you for your knowledge and time sir.

I notice you didn’t put on your overexposure warnings. Is it better to under expose than over expose using raw for video like it is for photo? Also wondering how well noise can be cleared up in post if you need to go up in iso. Thanks for the vid.

Good On You Mate , Great Job , Really Appreciate your Good Effort ….Cheers……Jacob

Thanks for the help bro! Good vedeo

06:53 had me confused for a second. You said shutter speed needs to be around double your frame rate so if you are shooting at 24fps your shutter needs to around 1/50th or 1/60th (of a second) but if you are shooting at 60fps the shutter should be at 1/20th which really threw me but then I realised it was a slip of the tongue and should have been 1/120th – or am I wrong again? I am very new and trying to learn

Great vid 👍🏻

7:15 24 fps is not a "cinematic framerate", it's a judder framerate. Is not "cinematic" should mean not stuttery jittery stuff, but a "buttery smooth" footage? What about the fact that almost every display operates at 60 Hz refresh rate?

thanks for the video ! question when i in camera settings go to photo all i have listed is single shot??

Hi Daniel, thanks for this informative video. I have had my DJI Mavic drone, but have not been game to explore the settings much. I have taken video and been a bit disappointed. I will try to get all the settings you have outlined and see the difference. I'm sure it will encourage me to do more video! The program you mentioned for post production, what is it called as I missed your pronunciation of it. Anyway, can't wait to have a try with your suggested settings! cheers Mary.

And hey, what do you think as well the photography instead of single shot to shoot in AEB (5), so you get 5 RAW files different exposures for every each of them. In Lightroom you can create your HDR, recover shadows / highlights with less noise and without losing much details. Good point for that?

Thanks so much for sharing your wealth of experience and methodical explanations. Very informative.

Question: I will be new to drones and do a heap of mountaineering and mountain sports and amateur adventure filmmaking. I've been pouring over the reviews for the Mavic Air and the Mavic Pro. Both are about the same price now (actually Mavic Pro is nearly $100 cheaper). I'm indecisive because the Mavic Pro's video quality is apparently worse, (and only 60 mbps) and my purpose is filming. However the range, controller (ocusync) and flight time is better on Pro. Which would you purchase if you were me?? Cheers!!!

Nice video … you got a new sub 👍🏼
Can I ask what settings you use for night photography. I noticed a nice pic during the slide show at the end.
