- [Automated voice] Take off. (blades whirring) (upbeat music) - This is your complete beginner's
guide to the DJI Mini 3. There is so many features
packed into this little drone. And in this video, we're gonna go through
how you use everything. So whether this is your first
drone or you've worked with drones before, there is a lot
of information in this video that's gonna get you up and
running fast with the Mini 3. So let me just give you a quick outline of what you're gonna find in this video. First, we'll go over the drone itself and everything you need
to know about the drone. And then we'll go through both controllers and what all the buttons do. And then next we'll go through the app because there is a ton
of information in the app that's gonna help you fly. And also there's a lot of features that's gonna help you get
better photos and better videos. And then the next section
is your first flight. So I'm gonna show you
exactly what you need to know the first time that you're flying a drone. And then we'll go into a
breakdown of how you use the tracking in this drone
and show you all the features and how you can track yourself. And then we'll talk about
QuickShots and MasterShots. And towards the end of this
video, we'll talk about all the different photo features
that you have accessible. And then once you have a
complete understanding of this drone, I'll point you in the
direction of some other videos that's really gonna help
you take your storytelling to the next level, so
you can use this tool to be able to craft some
really interesting videos that your viewers are gonna wanna watch. So there's a ton to unpack in this video. Let's just get started
with the first section. (upbeat music) So when you first get the Mini 3, there's gonna be a bunch of
stickers all over this drone. And you'll wanna just
take all those off because you don't want anything
interfering with your flight. Now packed up, this is
what the Mini 3 looks like. And how you open the drone
is you flip your front feet forward and you swing
your back arms, back. And then on the front, you're
gonna have this protective case and you'll wanna remove this. And there's just a little
clip on the bottom. You pop that out and then lift up and out. Now on the back of the
drone is where you have your battery compartment. If there's no battery in there,
you'll see it just empty. And your battery just slips
in and you'll hear an audible click. (battery clicks) Now to remove the battery, there's two little buttons
on the side of the drone. You just push both of those
in and pull straight out. All right, so now let's go over what you actually see on the drone. Now on the front, you'll see your gimbal, and that's what rotates
in three different axes to be able to get stable footage. It's connected on both sides of the drone. And then you could see
your camera can rotate both horizontal and vertical. Now, also in the front,
you'll see two big sensors. These are your forward obstacle avoidance. So if something's in the way
like a tree or one of these pillars, these two will
sense that in the front. And you could think of it
kind of like a wedge shape out front. You're not sensing things on the side, but it's kind of like at a 45
degree angle both directions, you'll get a sense. So if something's somewhere
in the front peripheral, the drone will see it and
avoid those obstacles. But it's not a full 180, so you're not gonna get
something over here. It's kind of more at an angle. Now it's swinging to
the back of the drone, on top of the battery compartment, you have a USB-C and then you
have a micro-SD card slot. Now your USB-C allows
you to transfer directly from the drone to your computer, but it also allows you
to charge a battery. So if you have a battery plugged in here, you can charge it directly by
just plugging into this USB-C. And then your micro-SD card, that's how you're gonna store
all your photos and videos. There is some internal
storage on this drone, but it's not very much. So you're gonna wanna make
sure that you always have a micro-SD card in here. I like to fly with 128 gigabyte cards, and I just get a fast enough
card that this drone can use. And that allows me to fly
all day without ever having to actually take out
the card and remove it. Now also, when you're
looking from the back and you tilt the drone down just slightly, you'll see the two sensors
that face backwards. These are actually kind of
on the front of the drone, but they're lifted above so
that when the drone's flying backwards at an angle, it can actually see what
objects are behind it. And so when you're flying backwards, the drone will also stop
before it hits an object. And this is great if it's
tracking in front of you because it will stop before it hits a tree or something else. Now, when we flip over the
drone and look at the bottom, we'll see two more downward sensors. Now these will sense
objects on the bottom. So if you're going up
a hill or down a hill, when it's tracking you, the drone will actually move
up and down with the landscape. Also, it's gonna help when
it's landing the drone. So you have obstacle
avoidance on the front, bottom and back. That's what all your sensors are. And then the last thing I wanna show you is the propellers on this drone. So with the Mini 3, you have
to screw on your propellers. So if you break one of these or if they're damaged in any way, well, you're gonna have to
have a little screwdriver which DJI provides, and you're gonna take your
propellers on and off. Now there's two types of
propellers and you could tell which propeller you need to
change based on the little notch that's next to where you screw
on and off these propellers. And when you're looking down
at the drone, the front-right and the back-left, have
this little swoop on it, which tells you where they're positioned. Now, the front-left and the
back-right don't have this. So when you're replacing your propellers, you wanna make sure that you're putting the right propellers where they go, because they are shaped differently. So the drone won't work if you put the propellers
in the wrong spots. Now with the battery, there's two types of
battery for the Mini 3. This one is the ultralight and it's labeled, "ultralight 249 grams." And then there's also an extended battery and that one has no label here. So that's how you'll tell the difference between the batteries. The ultra light one, which
gives you less battery is actually labeled,
"ultra light 249 grams." Now that's everything on
the outside of this drone. So let's go into the next section, which is all about the controller. (upbeat music) Now there's two controller
options for the Mini 3. You have the traditional controller, which you will put your phone into. And then you have this new one, which has the screen builtin. Now. I personally have been
using the one with the screen because it makes it a lot easier, but both of these controllers
work great with the Mini 3. And I'll show you the
differences between both of them. Let's first go over the standard RC, which is the main controller
that you put your phone into. Now you open up the controller on the top, and then you connect
your phone with the cable that's inside. Mine has the lightning port on it, but if you're using an Android device, you just switch this cable out. And so you put your phone
in the little grooves that are on top of the
controller and then plug it in. Now on the bottom of your controller is where the two thumb sticks are. So you're gonna pull these out
and you're gonna screw them into where they go on the
front of the controller. Okay, so now we're set
up with the controller to start flying. Now, looking at the front, what you see are a few different buttons. The two joysticks are gonna control all the directionality of your drone. And later in this video, we'll talk about how you
actually fly in the sky and what you do with both
of these thumbs sticks and how you can use them
to control your drone. Now, in the upper left-hand corner, you're gonna see an FN button. This is a function button. And in your menu, you can change this to
do different things. Now in the upper right-hand corner, you have a camera switch button. Now this button changes
from video back to photo. So this is where I'll switch between both, just using the controller. You can also do it on
the screen in the app, but this is a physical way on
the controller that allows you to flip quickly between photo and video. Now in the middle, you have
two buttons and this switch. In the far left, you have a Return-to-home and also a Pause button. On the far right, you
have your power button. And then you have these
three modes in the middle. You have Cine, Normal and Sport mode. And this allows you to
go slow, medium, fast. And in the menu, you can actually set what
each one of these are. And I'll show you that
when we get to the section all about the app. Now, when you look down on the controller, there's a button on the right hand side and a jog wheel on the left hand side. The jog wheel allows you to
control your gimbal up and down. So while you're flying, if
you need to move the gimbal up or down to get a different shot, well, you'll use the jog
wheel here on the controller and that allows you to move that gimbal. Now on the right is your
Start and Stop record, or Take-a-photo button, so depending on what mode you're in. Now, the last thing on this
controller is on the bottom there's a USB-C, and this is
how you charge the controller. So pretty basic, but a lot of functionality
with just a few buttons. And this is what you use
when you add your phone. It works great. I've been using this
controller for a long time. You don't need the newer controller with the screen builtin. It's more of a convenience
and it does have some extra functionality. So this is the DJI RC. Now, on the back of it, you
have your two thumb sticks. Now you're gonna pull these
out and you're gonna screw them in on the front. Now, this controller has a screen builtin. So basically everything
that's on your phone is built into this controller. It's an all-in-one system
and it's lightweight. And it's not that much bigger
than this standard controller. I actually really like
working with this one. Now, looking at the front,
it's a very similar setup. You have your two joysticks that control how you fly the drone. You have your Home and
Pause button on the left, your Power button on the right, and then Cine, Normal and
Sport mode in the middle, which again is slow, medium, fast for flying your drone in the air. Now, looking down at the top, you actually have some different buttons. You have a Record button on the left and a Photo button on the right. So no matter which mode you're
in when you're out flying, you can hit the Record button and it's gonna start recording video. And vice versa, if you
hit the Photo button, it's gonna switch to
photo and take a photo. So there is no button that
switches back and forth between photo and video mode, like on the other controller
on the front right-hand corner. And also when you look down at the top, you have two jog wheels. One is for your gimbal and
one is for your zooming. And so your left one is for your gimbal, just like on the other controller. But now this added right
one is for zooming. So the Mini 3 can zoom in
two times when it's in 4K up to four times in 1080P. And so you can use this zoom
to do smooth zooming motion when you're out flying. Now on the back where
your thumb sticks are, underneath there's now two
buttons that are customizable, C1 and C2. So in the menu, I'm gonna show you where you
can customize these buttons, but you could add two different things that you need access to on the controller. And it makes it much easier
than having these functions somewhere on the screen or in the menus where you have to actually
dig for these functions. Now on the bottom of this
controller, you'll see a USB-C. This is how you charge the controller. And also this is how you connect it directly to your computer. Now there's also a flap. And underneath this flap,
you'll see a micro-SD card slot. And this is how you can record
and also download your photos and videos from your drone to the SD card that's in your controller. And then there's another
USB-C that says, Host. And on DJI's website, it says, this is for connecting
the DJI cellular module, which will need to be
purchased separately. So a super simple controller, but more functionality
than the other controller and you have the builtin screen. (upbeat music) All right, so now let's
go over the DJI Fly app. And I have the drone up in
the sky so I can show you exactly what on the controller,
how everything works. And as you can see on the screen here, there's a lot of different
things that you have to look at when you're out flying. But as we go through it, and as you understand
what everything does, it's actually fairly simple. So first, what you're gonna want to do is download the DJI Fly app, if you're using your iPhone
or an Android device, if you don't have the DJI
RC with the screen builtin. Now this will come
pre-installed on the controller. So when you're in the home screen, all you'll want to do is click the Go Fly. And you'll get to this setup
where you can see everything that's going on with the drone. So let's just go clockwise in
a circle around everything, and then I'll show you how it all works. In the upper left-hand corner,
you have a back button. And this will go back to this home screen. And on this home screen,
there's a few different things that will help you when you're out flying. In the upper right-hand
corner, there's some tutorials. So if you're connected to
wifi or you're using cellular, you could actually get some DJI tutorials. In the upper left-hand corner, it's gonna give you some
information about your location. Where it says Stop and
it has the little timer, well, that's my screen
recording of the screen. So it's not something you're gonna see unless you're actually screen recording. But in that position where
it's at is where you'll see popups come up if you need
to update your firmware. So if there's a new
firmware for your drone, well, you'll see a little popup that says update firmware and download. And that's where you'll do
it here on the main screen. Now in the bottom left hand
corner, you have your Album, which will show you all
your footage and photos from your drone and what's
on your internal storage. You have SkyPixel, which
is DJI's social media app. And then you have your Profile. So when you first set up your drone, it's gonna ask you to set up
a profile and you can go into all your profile settings
here on the home screen. Now in the lower right-hand
corner, it says, Go Fly. You'll click that and you'll
go to your main flight screen. Now, next to the arrow,
you'll see it says N Mode and N Mode is just whatever you have set on the middle of your controller. So you have the Cine,
Normal and Sport mode. I'm gonna flip it over to
Cine mode. It'll say C mode. You'll see the popup in
the middle of the screen. And then now the drone's gonna fly slower than in Normal and Sport. And I'll flip over to
Sport mode and it'll say, obstacle avoidance unavailable, because when you're in Sport mode, your sensors aren't gonna be active. And so if you wanna make sure
that your sensors are active so you don't run into anything, you want to be in Normal or Cine mode. Now next to that, you're gonna
see a little popup that says, Altitude Zone 400 feet. I could actually click
that, it's a button. And this is your pre-flight checklist. And this just gives you some
different things that you need to know before you take off and fly. So at the top, it says your Flight Status. If there's any issues, this
will say, Fly with caution, or it'll say, You can't fly. So if you're in a restricted zone, it'll show you that you can't
fly in this restricted zone. Underneath that you'll have
your Return-to-Home Altitude. Right now, mine's set at 157 feet. I can bring that down because
there's no major obstructions around here. But if you're flying somewhere
with mountains or tall trees, you'll want this much higher, so that the drone, whenever
it's returning home, it'll fly to that height, come all the way back and then descend. So this is that altitude at
which it goes up into the sky to return to home. Now, underneath that
you'll have Max Altitude and Max Distance. I fly here in the US. I
can't fly above 400 feet. So I have mine set to 400 feet. And that basically gives me
a ceiling to where the drone can only go so high before
it's gonna stop itself. Now you could see that you
can extend this way up there, but depending on where you're flying, you'll wanna make sure that
that's set to your upper limit. So I'm gonna set it back to 400 feet. And then it has Max Distance. I could set my distance
at which I wanna fly out. I just keep this on no limit,
but when you're out flying, you wanna make sure that
you're keeping line of sight with your drone at all times. So if you wanna set a limit, here you can so your drone only goes so far. Now underneath your Max Distance, you'll see Storage Location. Mine are grayed out because
I'm currently recording on the drone. What you could do is
switch from your SD card to your internal storage. So if you put an SD card
in, you can swap it here. Or if you wanna shoot using your internal, you can flip back and forth. Now in the upper right-hand
corner, you're gonna see this, this green circle that says 82. That is how much battery
percentage I have left. And next to that, you'll see a time. So DJI estimates how much
time left you have flying with how you're currently flying. So this number's not gonna be perfect. As you fly around, as you're in more wind, as you're going faster or slower, this number's gonna fluctuate. But it gives you a general
idea of how much time you have left till your drone
is gonna be out of battery. Now where it says 81,
that's the percentage and you'll see when it
gets down to like 30%, 20%, it's gonna go from green to orange to red. And that basically is telling you, you need to take the drone down. I usually fly to about 30% and
then I bring the drone back and descend and land and I
never really drop below 20%. Now you can click on this green
circle and it's gonna show you how much time until your
drone's gonna automatically return to home and how much
time until your drone is gonna have a forced landing and how
much time until your drone is completely depleted. So you can use these numbers
if you're in a situation where you're really trying to
grab that last shot of the day and you don't have time
to put a new battery in, well, you could keep an eye
on this and it'll show you how much time you really
have until the drone is gonna be completely out of juice. Now, next to that, it has
a little bar graph with RC that shows how strong the RC
is connected to the drone. So right now the drone's right there, so it has a very strong connection. But if I was to fly away, I was to go behind like a
hill or something like that, you'd see that signal drop. So it's just a quick
indication to show you how much RC strength you have. You can click on that
and it will tell you. Right now it has a strong signal. And it will tell you, Warning if you don't have a strong signal. Next to that is this
hourglass looking shape. That is your obstacle avoidance. So right now it's showing that
all my sensors are turned on, but if it flip to Sport mode,
you'll see that it turns red. And that's telling me that
the sensors are not working. If for any reason, you're not sure if your
sensors are working or not, you can see a quick indication up there. You wanna make sure that they're white. They don't wanna be red. If they're red, they're not turned on and they're not working and
you'll run into something. Next to that is your satellites. You can click on it and it
shows how many satellites you're connected to and how
strong your GPS signal is. If you don't have enough
satellites to have your GPS location, the
drone will tell you. Right now, I have 22
satellites. It's super strong. The drone's gonna stay
exactly where I've put it and it's not gonna move. If you don't have strong signals, well, the drone's gonna start
drifting because it can't figure out where it's at in the earth. Next to that is three dots
and this is your menu. And we'll go into all of your
menu settings in a little bit, but first I wanna finish
everything on the main screen. So down below beneath the three dots, you'll see a bunch of
different camera settings here on the right-hand side of the screen. First is where you're gonna swap between Video and Photo mode. You can do your MasterShots,
your QuickShots, your Hyperlapse, your
Panoramics, all of your settings, except for tracking are
gonna be here in this menu. So right now I'm in Normal
mode and I am shooting video. Underneath that is a big red dot. You click that, it starts recording. Or if you're in Photo mode,
that will become a white dot and that takes a photo. Now, next to the red dot, you
have a few different options. You have the top, which switches between
horizontal and vertical. So you can just click this button and it's gonna swap back and forth. You have your zoom. So if you click it, it'll just automatically zoom
from one times to two times. If I switch over to 1080P, then what I could do is click on that and it's gonna go two,
four, and then back to one. So depending on what mode you're in, you can just click this and
it will automatically jump to these different focal links. And then underneath that is
manual focus and auto focus. So if you want to fly with manual focus, you can change that here. Personally, I usually always
fly with auto focus on. Now, you could also press
and hold where it says 1x, and it will pull up a
little graph that allows you to zoom in and out. And so if you wanna do a
smooth zoom using your thumb on the screen, you could
just zoom in and out by pulling your finger up and down once you've pressed and
highlighted that zoom. Now, if you have this controller
with the screen builtin, you could use the right joystick
and you could do the same thing where it zooms in and
out using the top jog wheel. So I'm gonna click this,
I'm gonna go back out to 1x. I'm gonna go back to horizontal. And then underneath your Record button, you'll see the Play button. And that's where you'll be
able to see all the photos and videos that you've
taken with the drone and that's on the SD
card or in the internal. All right, so continuing
around on the screen in the bottom right-hand
corner, it says Auto. You can flip this to Pro
mode and this allows you to change all your settings manually. So let's first put it in
auto mode and I'll show you how these buttons work. You have EV, that's your exposure value. So right now I'm using auto. The drone is gonna take an estimate of what it thinks is the best exposure. And what you can do with this EV is change where you want the base to be. So right now, this is at zero. So this is what the drone
thinks is the best exposure for the scene that it's currently in. I could put this at +1.7 or +2, and you could see how
much brighter it gets. So it's gonna take that auto
setting that the drone thinks looks good, and then add exposure to that. So I could add two stops of light over, and you could see that, yeah,
now I look better in the shot, but the background is super
blown out and super bright. So if you wanna make adjustments, sometimes when I'm flying
in the standard mode, I might put it at negative 0.3 or 0.7, depending on the scene that I'm in and how much I'm seen
over-exposed in the sky. Or I might put it at +3 or +7 if I'm in like a cloudy environment
and overall the footage doesn't look that good, I need a little, add a little brightness. So this is a great way to
play with your exposure. If you just want to do auto
settings and you don't want to do all the manual controls yourself. Now, next to that, it says
Resolution and Frames per Second. Right now you can see I'm shooting at 4K 30 frames per second. Let's click that, and it's gonna pop up a menu
where it shows your resolution. So I have 4K, 2.7K, 1080P. And then you have all of
your different frame rates underneath that. So you just swipe your finger across. Let's go to 4K and 30 frames per second, and that's gonna set your
resolution and your frame rate. Now there's a high quality mode, and then there's just standard footage. High quality is gonna
give you that HDR look, but it's not something that
you can turn off and on. And then in your normal
60 frames per second, it doesn't have that
same high quality mode. Now, next to that, it
says Storage and it shows how much time you have
left on your SD card or the internal storage
that's in the drone. So now I'm shooting at 4K 30
frames per second, high quality I have three hours and 11 minutes left. This is why I shoot with 128
gigabyte cards because it makes it a lot easier to be
able to shoot all day and not take the cards in and out. Now, when you flip it to
Pro mode, you're gonna have a lot more options to
change your settings. And what you'll do is
just click on the settings in the lower right-hand corner, and you'll have these two options. You'll have the little iris
icon and then the toggle icon. Now this will give you
all of your settings. And this menu really works
well for the Pro mode. In the first menu, you
have your White Balance, you have your Resolution
and Frames per Second. You have your Storage, your Color, Coding Format and your Format. And then when you go
over to the iris icon, you can change your ISO, your
Shutter, and underneath that, it's gonna show you your metering. So it's gonna say, "Oh,
your footage looks dark or your footage looks light",
compared to what the drone thinks is perfect exposure. So a lot of settings, when you put it into a Pro
mode to be able to completely control your exposure
and the actual formats and how you want to actually
record your footage. Now in the middle, you'll see,
it says Downward 5.4 feet. That's just giving me an
indication that there is something underneath the drone five feet below. So depending on where
the drone is positioned, I'm gonna move towards this column. You could see that these lines
are popping up on screen, the little yellow line. That's your obstacle avoidance saying, "There's an object in the way." And you'll see these lines pop up no matter where you're flying. So if I start flying towards this tree, you'll see that as soon as
I get over to this tree, it's gonna stop. So I'm just pushing forward
and now the red line is hitting and the drone
has stopped moving. So the drone is right there
about to hit the tree. But because of the obstacle
avoidance, it's stopped that. And you can see that now
there's this red line that says, "There's an obstacle in the
way. I'm not gonna move forward" And so as I back away from this tree, that line will turn to yellow
and then it will go away. So you'll see these pop up
depending on how you're flying and what's in front of
you and what's around you. And then you have that downward
indication at the bottom, which shows you how close the ground is. So as I just descend down,
you'll see that it turns red when I get closer to the ground. And when I go up into
the sky, it turns yellow. And then when I get high
enough, it's just gone. It can't sense the ground anymore. So it can sense the
ground somewhere around the 15 foot mark. So you have a good indication
of how much clearance you have between the drone and the ground. Now in the left-hand
corner, you have your height and your distance away
from your home point. Right now I'm 36 feet away
and 8 feet off the ground from where I took off. So this will change depending
on where your home point is. And you can actually move your
home point and I'll show you where you can do that
later on in this video. Now in the bottom left-hand
corner, there's a few options. Right now, I have this
radar looking graphic and it shows you where the
drone is in position to you. And it also shows where
your home point is. And it also shows where true north is. So this is a great way if
you just wanna see a radar of kind of where your
drone is in position to where the home is and where you are. So it's tracking all of these
points at the same time. Now in that bottom right-hand corner, you can click that little icon
and it's gonna bring up a map And you could see when I
make this map full screen, you could see where the drone has flown by the little blue line. And this is just an overhead map. So you could see the hiking
trail that I'm sitting at and where my home point
is and where I'm sitting. And you could see that there's
this circle hiking trail right around this little
arch that I'm flying at. And you could see where the drone is and which position it's facing. So as I spin the drone away from me, you could see that arrow
is moving away from me. And as I fly around, you could see that the drone
is moving on the screen and creating a path with that blue line. So you're always gonna
know where your drone is in relation to you, and you could use your
different points of where your controller is, home point and
the drone to be able to always navigate and make sure you know exactly where you're flying at all times. And if you're somewhere with
more roads or more features, you'll see that on this map. Now to go back to your flight screen, you just tap on the picture
in the lower left-hand corner, and you'll see that the
boxes trade position. If you don't wanna see this map overview, you can hit this little
arrow icon in the corner, and it will hide back
just to that little icon that says where the map is. Now, moving up on the left-hand side, you have your H with an arrow. This is how you can take
off and land automatically. So there's a couple ways
you could take off and land. And when we get to the first
flight section of this video, I'll show you how you use both of them. And then the last thing
that you see on the screen right now is my histogram. And this shows me all
my exposures on a graph. Now this is something that I can click and move around the screen. And it's just a great way to
see what exposure I'm getting out of the scene, rather than
just trying to eyeball it. So I'll show you where to
turn that on in a minute. Now, that's everything
on this main screen. Now there's a couple of
menus that we need to go into that's gonna show you even more controls. So the last thing I wanna show you is that you can actually move the
gimbal around on the screen. If you just press anywhere on the screen, a little bubble will pop
up and then you can move your finger up and down the screen, and it's gonna control
the gimbal up and down. So if you just wanna tap and hold, that's another way to move it. Now you can tap anywhere
on the screen and it works just like a smartphone
where it will automatically set your exposure and your focus, where you actually have tapped. And you can press and
hold and you can auto-lock your exposure and then
use the little sun icon on the left-hand side to bring
your exposure up and down. And that's just changing your
EV in the lower right-hand corner, like we spoke about earlier. And then the last function that you have on this main screen is tracking. And I'll explain how
that works when we get to the tracking section of this video. All right, so let's get into
some of the deeper menus and show you what you
actually have access to, more so than just what's
on the screen here. So let's go to the
upper right-hand corner, click those three dots, and it's gonna pull up your menu screen. So you have five different
menus at the top, Safety, Control, Camera,
Transmission and About, and each one of these has a
bunch of different options. So under the Safety, you
have your Flight Assistance, which first has Obstacle Avoidance Action. So if you go near an object, what do you want the drone to do? You can have it Brake, Bypass, or you can just turn off
your obstacle avoidance. I have mine on Brake. So if it goes towards that
tree, it's just gonna stop. If you have it on Bypass, it's gonna try to move around the object. And then you have Display Radar Map. Those are the different lines
that you see on the screen when you're getting near an object. You can turn that on and off. Next is Flight Protection. This has your Max Altitude,
Distance and Auto return-to-home This is just another place where you can change these settings. And then under Safety is
also where you can update your home point. So let's fly the drone over here. I'm gonna fly to a different spot that's away from my original home point. I'm going to pull up my
radar so you guys could see that the drone is now
away from the home point. Let's go into the menu,
go to Update Home Point, and then you have two options in the upper right-hand corner. The first is set the home point to where the drone is currently. Or you could go underneath
and set the home point to where the controller is. So if you move, if you're hiking
and you go like 20 minutes with the drone following you, and you wanna make sure that
the drone doesn't take off and go back to where it started, well, you wanna make sure that
you update your home point, so you can go to the controller,
so wherever you're at. So I'm gonna update to
where the drone's at, because it's actually over there. And now the home point is
over there where the drone is. I'm gonna go back into
this menu and I wanna set the home point back here,
cause I don't want it to go back over there once
it runs out of battery. I want it to come here
where the controller is. So I'm gonna click the controller icon. And now the home point is set right here where the controller is. Now you could also drag on
the screen and do a custom home point if you want
it to like be over there, but the controller and
the drone are over there. So it's something that's
super useful to use because you wanna make sure
that your drone is not gonna go to the wrong home point,
especially if you're moving and flying the drone and
you're going in a completely different place than where
you originally started. So under Safety, you also have Sensors where you can calibrate
your compass and your IMU. You probably won't need to do this. And if you do, the drone
will actually prompt you and it'll say, "You'll need to calibrate
your compass or your IMU", and it'll walk through
steps on how to do that. Underneath that you
have your Battery Info. You can click on your Battery
Info and it's gonna show you everything about your
battery and how many times you've charged and all
the different information about the cells and all of that. Now next you have Unlock Geo Zones. So if you're flying
somewhere that's restricted and you have access to
be able to fly there, well, this is where you'll unlock it and you'll have to input some information and that will allow you
to unlock a specific area. You have Find My Drone. So if you crash your drone
and you can't find it, you can click the Find My Drone. It's gonna pop up a new
screen and it's gonna show you a map and it's gonna show you
where your drone was last seen You could Start Flashing and
Beeping in the lower right-hand corner and the drone will
start flashing its lights and actually beeping. And then you have a few
options here on the side for the maps to show you where you're at, where the drone's at, where true north is. And then you can also use
different styles of maps, the Standard, Satellite,
or you can do a Mixed. So some different tools to
be able to help you find your drone if you're flying somewhere
and you end up losing it, like in the brush or in
a tree, or, you know, it goes over into a mountain. So it's a good tool to have if you end up in one of those situations. And then the last aspect in your Safety is your Advanced Safety Settings. We'll click on that. So if your signal's lost between the drone and your controller, you
could tell it what to do. So right now, mine is
set to Return-to-Home. You could have it just
descend wherever it's at, or you could have it just hover. So you wanna make sure that you
set this to what makes sense for the situation you're flying in. Most of the time, Return-to-Home
makes the most sense for me Unless I'm moving and I'm not
able to update my home point, then I might have it just say, hover. And then if you're somewhere
where you're worried about it just hovering in the air,
you can have it descend. And then underneath that, it's gonna show you your
Emergency Propeller Stop. So if you pull both your
joysticks inward or both outwards, the propellers are gonna stop mid-flight and the drone will fall out of the sky. It's kind of an emergency thing. It's also a way that you can
turn your drone on and off when you're actually
ready to start flying. And I'll show you that in
the first flight section. All right, so now let's
go into the second menu, which is Control, which is how
you control aircraft, gimbal and basically all the physical
aspects of your drone. So first under Aircraft, you could set how you want
your units to be displayed. I'm in the US, I'm using Imperial, but this is where you could
switch to Metric if you use that This is where you can
turn on Subject Scanning. So this is a cool feature that
DJI has put in this drone. But when this is turned on,
it's gonna automatically detect if there's a subject to track. So when you click this on,
it's gonna show a little box and it'll have a little plus icon. And you click this, it's
automatically gonna start tracking that subject. Now, next is the Gimbal Modes. You have Follow or FPV. So in Follow mode, that's
just your standard shooting, where the horizon's gonna be level. In FPV, the horizon will shift if you move one way or the other. So if you want more dynamic
footage and you want that FPV look, while you could switch
to FPV mode here on this menu. Now underneath that is your
Advanced Gimbal Settings. So this is where you can
change the speed of your Cine, Normal and Sport mode. And so with each mode, you'll see that it has Pitch
Speed, Pitch Smoothness, Yaw Rotation Speed, and Yaw Smoothness. So for Pitch Speed and Pitch Smoothness, that's how fast the gimbal's
gonna rotate up and down. And then the Pitch Smoothness
is how much it feathers in and out of that movement. Now with Yaw Rotation, that's actually the speed of the aircraft. And the Smoothness is also
feathering how fast it moves into that speed and how fast
a pull comes outta that speed. So you could change this
for all of your settings, Cine, Sport and Normal. And at the bottom, you can
reset back to the defaults. So I would play around with
this and find settings that make sense for the type of flying
that you're filming in. A lot of times, I'll take my
Cine mode and really slow it down so I can have
super cinematic footage. And then my Normal and Sport
mode, I kind of leave because the standards that comes on
these controllers works great. And if I need to move
faster, well I'll put it in Normal mode, I'll be
able to move pretty fast but have my sensors turned on. And then Sport mode, I use
that if I want to take off and just like get to a
location really fast. I know there's not gonna
be anything in the way. And also in situations where I know the drone's not gonna hit something, I'll put it in Sport mode
and you can get some really dynamic footage when
you're flying super fast. Next there's a button to recenter gimbal, and that's gonna either
position the gimbal straight out at 90 degrees or straight down. The next section is Remote Controller. You have your Stick Mode. So I fly with mode two,
but if you wanna fly in one of the other modes that
changes how these sticks work, well, you could set that up here. Everything that we're gonna
be talking about in this video is gonna be using stick mode two. And then underneath that
is where you could set up your button customization. So if you're using the other
controller that just has one customizable button,
you'll see one option here, but I'm using this RC that
has the two, C1 and C2. So I can set up two different
things for these buttons. And when you click them
you'll see the options. You can Recenter Gimbal, Follow/FPV mode, Camera Settings, Auto
Exposure Lock and Unlock, Increase Exposure Value,
Decrease Exposure Value, Hyperlapse Cruise Control, and Portrait and Landscape Mode Switch. So depending on what you
use, set these custom buttons to make it easier so that you
don't have to go into menus to be able to use all
these different functions. Underneath that is your RC Calibration. And then under Advanced, you
can change some of the settings for how your joysticks move. I just leave all this on standard. But if you are someone
who likes to play around these kind of settings,
there is this Advanced mode. And then underneath that
you have a Flight Tutorial, which is great to use if
you're a first time flyer. And then at the bottom, that's where you re-pair your
controller to your drone. All right, let's go into
the Camera settings. So under Camera settings,
first, you have your Format. You can do an MPV or an MOV file. You have your Color. This is where you could switch
from Normal to D-Cinelike. D-Cinelike is more of a flat profile, which is better for color grading. Underneath that you
have your Coding Format. So you could shoot at H.264 or H.265. And then next you have
an Anti-Flicker mode. I just leave mine on auto. You have your Histogram. This is where you can turn
that histogram on or off. And when you're back on the main screen, you could actually just
click the X in the corner and it will turn it off. But if you need to turn it back on, you have to go into your Camera, go back to Histogram and turn on. Now, Peaking is great to use
if you're using manual focus. It'll put an outline of what's in focus and you can have this low, normal or high. You have an Overexposure Warning. So when you turn that on and
your footage gets super bright, it's gonna show zebras of
where it's over exposed. I like to use this overexposure
warning in my histogram, just so I know what I'm
getting out of the footage. And I don't have to rely
on the screen itself to see where my exposure is. Next, you have some Gridlines. And so you could turn
these on to be able to see where center mark is or your thirds are. And it's just lines that
go over your screen so that you could use this to
create better compositions. Now, next underneath that
you have your White Balance. You could set to Auto or Manual. And then you have your Storage. So right now I have my SD card in. You also have your internal
storage and the Format button in the upper right-hand corner. It's how you can erase
everything off of that card. Now, next you have Cache While Recording. So the screen will automatically
record whatever it's seen and record it on the controller. Now it's using the
transmission from the drone to the controller, so it's not
gonna be the best recording, but if you always wanna have
a backup or just something quick to use, well, you
can record using the screen and that's Cache While Recording. And then at the bottom, you can reset all of
your camera parameters. Now the next menu is Transmission. This first option is your Frequency. I always just keep it on Dual-band. And then Channel Mode,
I just leave it on Auto. But if you have any issues
with your transmission from your controller to your drone, this is where you can play
around with those settings. And then the last section is your About, which is basically gonna
give you all your information about your drone. It's also gonna be a place where
you could check for updates for your controller or for
your drone to make sure that everything is up to date with
the most current firmware. (upbeat music) All right, so you're ready
for your first flight. And ideally what you want
to do is find a space where you could have a
lot of room to play around and you're not gonna run into anything. So I'm up here in these hills.
There's nothing around me. It's a great spot to fly the
drone and play around with it. And what you'll wanna do
is just find an easy place to take off and land from. So just nice open, nothing in the way. And ideally when you start, you wanna make sure that
you have a full charge on your controller and a
full charge on your drone. Now, since I've been making this video, I've been draining the
battery of my drone. So you'll see it's at 48%. But for your first flight,
make sure that you have a complete charge on both your
controller and your drone, 'cause you don't wanna take it up and then run out of battery right away. You wanna have some time to play around. Now to turn on your drone,
you press once and then hold and all the lights will light up and then you'll hear a chime. And that's when the drone is turned on. And the same thing with the controller. You're gonna press the power button once and then hold until all the lights turn on and then you hear the chime. And then both your controller
and the drone are turned on. Now, out of the box, they're paired. So you shouldn't have
any issue with the drone connecting to your controller. But if they're not paired,
you go into your menu setting where we showed you earlier
and you re-pair the drone. Now you're ready to take off. Both the controller and
the drone are powered up. You're at a good spot and
the drone is ready to go. There's two ways that you
can take the drone off from the ground. The first is the easiest. On the left-hand side of your screen, the little arrow with the circle. You press that, it's gonna pull up this
menu that says Take off. And basically what it's
gonna do is the drone's gonna ascend into the sky and hover. So I'm gonna hold that button
in the center till the green is full and then the drone is
gonna take off into the sky. (blades whirring) Now the drone's just gonna hover there until I start using the thumbs sticks. So if I wanna land the drone,
I can do the exact same thing. So I can click that little
H icon with the arrow and then hold in the center. And the drone is gonna
descend down to the ground, find where it's gonna land and
the propellers will turn off. So for the first time you're flying, I would suggest do this. Take it up, let it hover for
a minute, bring it back down. Just to make sure everything's working. Now the second way, which is the way that I
normally take off and fly. As I just pull both joysticks inward, that's gonna start the
rotation of the propellers, but it's not gonna take off. It's just spinning there on the ground. Now I pull up on the left joystick and the drone will ascend into the sky. And if I let go of the joysticks, the drone will just sit there and hover. And that's one cool thing
about these kind of drones is that if you don't touch the joysticks, when it has a strong GPS signal, the drone will just sit
here in this one spot. And now if I want to bring
the drone down and land it, I just pull down on the left joystick. And I just keep holding the
down on the left joystick until the drone fully
goes down to the ground and the propeller shut off. And then I can let go of the controller. So those are the two ways
to take off and land. (upbeat music) Now let's go over how the drone
actually flies in the sky. So I'm gonna pull both joysticks inward. I'm gonna start the propellers. I'm gonna pull up on the left joystick. It's gonna fly up into the sky. And let's go over how
these joysticks work. Remember I'm in mode two. So if you're flying in a different mode, your joysticks are gonna work different. But I suggest flying in mode two. So let's get a shot of these arches so you can see what I'm doing. So on the left joystick, if you press up, the drone's gonna go up into the sky. Now, if you pull it down, the
drone is gonna descend down. Now, if I pull left on this left joystick, the drone is going to rotate in a circle. Now, if I pull right, the drone is gonna rotate the
other direction to the right. So you could think of your
left joystick, like the drone is in a single spot on the
earth and then it rotates. So it can only go up and
down that single spot and then it can also just rotate. That's all the left joystick does. Now, let's point at this archway again. Now for the right joystick,
if I push forward, the drone is gonna move closer
to where those arches are and it's going towards that tree now. Now, if I pull backwards
on that right joystick, the drone's gonna move
backwards and you're gonna see the arches come into frame and
the drone is gonna move back and past us over there. Now, if I pull left on
that right joystick, the drone is gonna move that way. So it's like sliding to the left. And then if I pull right
on that right joystick, the drone is gonna move that way. So it's sliding to the right. So you could think of your right joystick as moving away from that center point. So wherever that center point
was, if you push forward, it's gonna move that way
forward away from it. It's gonna move backwards
away from that point or left or right. So the easiest way to think
about these two joysticks is left joystick, singular
point, rotate around. Right joystick, it's
gonna move out and away in any direction. And then the last thing is you
could point these joysticks in a 360 around. So if I wanted to push up
and also spin to the left, well, I could put to the
upper left-hand corner and you could see how this
drone is moving up and rotating. And now if I pull right
on that right joystick, the drone is also gonna
be moving to the right and you're getting this
big arching helix motion. So you could really get
fancy with your combinations. And there's a lot of different
ways that you can move this drone into the sky to be able to get some different looking footage. And at the end of this video, I'll link to another one of
my videos that goes through a hundred plus drone
moves that you could use. And I go through all these
different moves that you can make using these two joysticks and
also your gimbal and your zoom And so the last thing
that I want to go over is how you use your gimbal. So let's fly back towards where we are. I'm gonna use both joysticks
to kind of position myself away from us. As you can see the structure in front and me out here in the distance. So the left jog wheel is
controlling your gimbal. If you pull that left, the
gimbal's gonna rotate down. And if I pull right on that jog wheel, the gimbal's gonna move up. And the cool thing
about this drone is that gimbal can move up to
60 degrees looking up. So you could have the
gimbal pointing straight up into the sky. Now with the controller,
with the screen builtin, the other jog wheel, if you
pull right, it's gonna zoom in. And if you pull left on that
jog wheel, it's gonna zoom out. And so that's all the different
ways that you could use this controller to move your drone
and the camera in the sky. All right, so now let's
go into the next section, which is all about the Active Track. (upbeat music) So let's go over Active Track and how you can track
yourself for subject. So as you could see, nothing's on the screen yet for tracking. If you wanted to do that subject tracking we talked about earlier,
you go into your menu, you go to Control and you
turn on Subject Scanning. Now you'll see this
plus icon where I'm at. You could click me and it's
gonna automatically start tracking me. Now, the other way, if you
turn off Subject Scanning is you just find your subject
and then you just draw a box on the screen
from the top-left corner to the bottom-right or vice versa. It's gonna pop up this little
screen. You could skip this. And then now I'm being tracked. So automatically by default
you're in Spotlight mode. Spotlight mode basically
means that the camera's tripod in the sky and wherever I go, the camera's gonna
continue to focus on me, but it's not gonna move. Now the cool thing about Spotlight
mode is, I could actually use the joysticks and push
the drone in a direction and it's gonna keep tracking me. So you can manually fly
in Spotlight mode and do your own moves and the drone
will stay tracking on you. So if you wanna do some
different movement patterns, or you just wanna fly manually, but always keep a subject centered, then just keep it in Spotlight mode and you can see how well this works. I'm just flying around
with my right joystick and it's keeping me centered
as it flies around me. Pretty wild. Okay. So now that I'm on this point, let's talk about Point of Interest. So I got to this epic landscape, but I wanna do like a
rotation shot all around me. Well, I'll click Point of
Interest and then you're gonna have this option pop up with
an arrow going either direction So I wanna move fast to the
right and then I click Go. So the drone's gonna spin
around me fast to its right and I could stand here and I can be like, "Whoa, look at this epic view." Pretty cool. Huh? And while the drone's doing this, there's no obstacle avoidance
sensors on the side. So if there's something
it's gonna run into, well, you gotta be super cautious
because Point of Interest, it might run into something. It's just kind of the
reality of this drone. So now, if I want to make
this Point of Interest go a little bit further
away and not be so close, I can pull back on the right joystick. You can see, it says, "Subject too far." It does have limitations, but you can actually move the
drone while it's tracking you. And if I wanted to center
myself up with the gimbal, I could tilt down. And so now it's, gimbal's
rotated down a little bit, still tracking. Now, if I wanted to put myself
into like the right third, I could pull left on the right
joystick and now I'm being tracked, but I'm off to
the one of the sides. So really cool thing about
DJI's tracking is that you have this ability to be able to
change up what the framing is while it's tracking and it's
not gonna cancel the tracking. So I'm gonna center myself up by playing with that left joystick. And now we have just this rotation shot. It is just gonna keep
going until I stop it. And so I'm gonna hit the Stop button. And there we go, it's
just stopped right there. Now the other thing I could do, let's go back to Point of Interest. Let's go the other direction and hit Go. On the controller itself, you
have that Home or Pause button So if I click the Pause button, well, it's just gonna stop the track. So that's an easy way on your controller. If you need to make it,
it could stop immediately. Just click that Home/Pause button and it will stop the tracking. So that's Spotlight and Point of Interest. Now Active Track is where the drone is actually going to start following me. So I'm gonna click Active
Track and there's two options, Trace or Parallel. Let's start with Trace. So Trace is just like
tracking you from behind. So wherever I go, the
drone's gonna follow me. So let's just run this
way for a little bit. And you could see that
the drone is following right behind me. And it's gonna avoid obstacles
if they're in the way. So if we get to this tree, you could see that as soon
as the drone gets near something that might hit,
it's gonna move around it. So it kind of moved out and around. Now I'm gonna run this way. You could see that the drone is pivoting and it's gonna keep
following me from behind. So with this Trace mode, the drone's gonna pivot and
move with you wherever you go. Now let's pause, freeze. Now, one hack to be able
to get this drone to follow in front is you basically get the drone right in front of you, turn on Trace mode and the drone will follow from the front. Now this method is more
meant for following behind, but it does work in this way. So if you have the drone
right in front of you, you can follow from the front. And I like to use this mode
for like walk-and-talks. I've done it in a few
videos and it works great. The only issue is in this mode, if I was to like pivot this
way, well, it's not the best. And you could see, as soon
as it gets to my side, it's gonna try to find behind me and start tracing me from back. And that's because this Trace mode is really meant for following behind. It's not meant for following the front. But if you do have it
right in front of you and you're walking in
somewhat of a straight line, it will stay following you. So I'm gonna move this way and you can see it swings back around. So if you're someone who's
doing like a mountain biking and you're ripping down a
trail, well the Trace mode is great to follow and show
exactly where you're going. Now, let's pause. I just click the Pause. It
goes back to Spotlight mode. Click Active Track. Let's go to Parallel. So with Parallel, I have the
drone facing this direction. So now when I walk towards the drone, it's gonna move backwards. If I go this way, the drone
is going to slide to its left. If I go forward, or if I
go away from the drone, it's gonna follow me. If I go this way, the drone's
gonna follow to the right. And so what Parallel means
is that the drone is always gonna be facing that way, the
direction that I've set it. And no matter what movement I do, the drone is gonna try and
stay in that direction. It's not gonna pivot. So it's gonna just go forward,
backwards, left, or right to try and keep me centered
and to always be facing in that one direction. And look, went behind an
object but it found me. So if you do go behind an object, well, the drone will try to find you. And sometimes it works
and sometimes it doesn't. If you're moving fast enough
and it's a quick enough, you know, going behind something, well, then the drone will
be able to find you again. But if you're behind
something for extended period, it's probably gonna lose you. So if I wanted to do a walk-and-talk, well, I could use this Parallel mode. Drone will always stay in front that way, but it's also not gonna rotate. So if I like pivot and I go this way, well, the drone's not
gonna swing out in front. It's always just gonna
stay in that direction. So two different modes, different uses, but both work really well. Now, if you wanted to track from above, I could just pull up on that left joystick and you could see that the
drone is now getting above me and it's gonna track me from above. So you could really put
this drone in any position and it's gonna track you, which makes this tracking super useful. So I'm gonna pull down
on the left joystick, still tracking me, still
in that Parallel mode. And now we're back down this way. So that's all the functionality
of the Active Track, and works great. Just keep a line of sight
between you and the drone and you'll always have great tracking. When you're done, you could click Stop. And then when you want to get
out of tracking a subject, you just click the little
icon on the top of me, little X icon on top of me,
and then it stopped tracking. Now, one last thing about tracking. If you're in the tracking modes, you could click the zoom
feature and you could track at a 2x zoom. So if you wanted more
parallax with your background, you could track using the zoomed in lens. And you could also zoom
while you're in flight. So I could zoom in, I could zoom out and it's gonna be tracking
me the whole time. So a lot of options and
a lot of functionality with these tracking modes in this drone. (upbeat music) All right. So let's talk about
QuickShots and MasterShots. These are like automations
that allow you to get better looking shots
without a whole lot of work. So I'm gonna click into my camera menu. I'm gonna go down to QuickShots and then it works the same
way as you're tracking. So right now it sees me, I'm gonna click that little plus icon, and now it's tracking me just
like it did in Active Track. But in the right-hand side, you'll see this little arrow icon. So this shows you the different
modes that you could do. You have a Dronie, a Rocket, a
Circle, a Helix, a Boomerang, or an Asteroid. So I'm gonna click Dronie. I could set my distance down here on the bottom of the screen. You could go really far away
or you could go pretty close. I'm gonna hit Start. 3, 2, 1, it's gonna start recording and then the drone's
automatically gonna move. (upbeat music) When it hits a hundred percent,
it's gonna stop recording. And then the drone is gonna
return to where it started. (upbeat music continues) So the last thing I wanted
to show you for this section is MasterShots. So MasterShots are very similar, except for it's gonna take
a grouping of QuickShots and put it together to create a sequence. So I've estimated two
minutes and you could change the distance, the height, all of that. And so it's gonna do a
few different motions. So it's gonna use both the
gimbal and the zoom in, and also these movements
that we saw in QuickShots. And DJI has pre-programmed
a few different moves that when cut together will
create a cool little scene that you could use from
the place that you're at. So if you are someone
who's newer to flying, this is a great way to like
capture the moment when you get to a cool location and
you don't know exactly how you wanna fly the drone. And so, as you could see,
it's actually calling out what types of moves
it's doing as it's going through this scene. So it's doing a Circle,
it's doing a Dronie, it's doing this, it's doing that. It's gonna give you some
different indications while it's actually filming. And then once it's done the
drone returns right back to where it started,
just like the QuickShots. So an easy way to create
these different drone moves when you're flying and you
wanna shoot some cool videos. (upbeat music) All right, let's talk about
the different photo modes that you have as options on this drone. So I'm gonna switch it over to Photo mode and you have just have a single photo. But if you look down in the
lower right hand corner, you could change your format. So you have the same auto and
pro settings that you have in video, but you have this
option for Format as JPEG or RAW So if I take a JPEG,
easier for processing. If you want a RAW, it gives you more flexibility
when you're editing in post. So I just took a photo. (camera clicks) Now, also in your photo
mode, you have 48 megapixel. So if you want a high-res photo, well, you could click the 48 megapixel. It's gonna give you a lot
more resolution to work with. (camera clicks) Now, also, you have AEB, which is gonna take a series of exposures so that if you want to
combine photos in post, it will give you a lot more options. So let's do five and
it's gonna basically take what it thinks it's the proper exposure and then it's gonna take
brighter and darker, and it's gonna do five
different exposures. And you could use this
and combine them together and do something like an HDR photo when you're doing your editing. Now, also you have a Burst mode. So if you wanna take a series of photos, say you're doing something
like a cool jump, and then it'll give you
the ability to choose which photo you want. So if you're in a
situation where one photo doesn't make sense, maybe
you'll want to use a burst. Now also you have a Timed Shot. So if you wanna like
put the controller down and get a cool shot, I'll
pick it to seven seconds, 7, 6, 5, put the controller down, 3, 2. (camera clicks) And then it's just gonna
auto keep taking a shot every seven seconds. So it might be something useful
if you want to get yourself to a cool location and
you wanna get a cool shot, but you don't want to
just have the controller here taking photos. Now, also, when you're taking photos, you could either click the
circle icon here on the screen, or you could click the button on top. That will also work. Now, the other two options
you have with photography is one, Hyperlapse, which basically will
take a series of photos like a time lapse, but
the drone will move. So you could freely move the drone. You could have it go in
a circle like an orbit. You could set it in a
course and just have it go in a direction, that's CourseLock. And then you can actually set Waypoints. So if you wanna like go
this way and then turn and go that way, well, you could set that
all up with your Waypoint and that will be able
to create a hyperlapse. So if you have something cool,
like clouds in the skies, this is a really useful tool. I have nothing really
that exciting out here. So a hyperlapse would literally
just look like I'm flying and you'd see kind of some
jitter going on on the ground. It's not really that exciting
in this kind of setting. But if you have something cool, that's gonna be moving and it
takes a while for it to move, use the Hyperlapse. Now the last is the Panoramic modes. So you have Sphere, 180,
Wide-angle and you have Vertical. So it's gonna take a series of photos. It's gonna stitch them all together and it's gonna create this panoramic view. Now my drone's tell me I'm
running out of battery, but you could see that it's
loading on the right hand side and it's just waiting for
that panorama to be stitched together before you can
actually take more photos. So we're letting that finish. I have five minutes left of battery life, as you can see up there, 14%. So that's all the options
you have for photography, a lot of great options. But I'm gonna Return-to-Home because I don't want this drone to crash. So what's next? Well, there's a bunch of different skills you wanna learn to craft better videos, and I'm gonna put them here on the screen. You'll wanna learn just
your filmmaking basics, which I have a video that
goes through all of that. You'll wanna learn different drone moves so you can get cinematic looking footage. Then you're gonna wanna learn how to edit your videos together. And if you want to get a
better look out of your footage and not just always shoot standard, that way you can film in your D-Cinelike and learn color grading
to be able to create some different looks out of the footage that you're getting out of this drone. So I include links to
all of these resources down below in the description. And next, to get started on this journey, make sure you check out this video, which is all about drone
filmmaking and the different skills that you should learn
to craft better stories. I'll see you on the next video.
