- Are DJI drones more cinematic than FPV drones?
I'm putting the DJI Mini 4 Pro up against the iFlight Nazgul Evoque V2 to find out once and for all.
1 Island - 3 Locations - 1 Cinematic Champion!
The results were very surprising!
Both the DJI Mini 4 Pro and the FPV drone are cinematic in their own regards. Which one will suit your video better? Do you need both?

Which of these 2 drones do you think was more cinematic?
fpv all day baby!
FPV
Well that leap of faith was a win win!! You are proving yourself as a leader on UA-cam and WE get to enjoy and learn from your content. Thanks
Thank you! Yep, I'm still leaping and hoping I'll land on my feet. I'm doing my best to put out the best videos I can, and fingers crossed 🤞 it'll all work out in the end!
Both are awesome. The Formula one car, or the casual cruise. Love 'em both.
I completely agree! Love the footage both produce, both different but both beautiful!
i was shocked when i saw your sub count .. awesome video. gained yourself a sub
Haha thanks Noah! Just gotta keep making the videos and hoping the algorithm gods are nice to me 😂 thanks for your support and welcome to the community!
Both awesome. That fpv though so cool
Thanks mate! Yeah, FPV is so much fun, haha 😄
Literally two different tools for two totally different jobs.
I use my autel for smooth slow filming. FPV almost always just cause its more fun to fly. But faster filming. More exciting video.. even when its the bad choice its just more fun
Yeah, FPV is always so much fun, even if the footage isn't any good 😂
Love the vids man😊
Thanks man! 😃
I really love both,but if I had to choose one,most likely would go with FPV. I love the sense of speed,tense and so on. Thank you for sharing,you inspired me and I am learning a lot from your videos :)
Hey! It's hard to pick between the 2 for me. I think they both have a place depending on what you want to achieve. Flying FPV is fun though! 😂 that's awesome, I'm glad your finding the videos of value! 😃
Wow, both video's are excellent...but also so very different. The FPV is obviously fast, fun and exciting. But, for cinematic viewing...I would have to say I prefer the Mini 4.
Wao you've done an amazing video. No comments
Stay blessed and safe bro
Welbeck here from Ghana west Africa
Thans you! Glad you enjoyed the video! Same to you bro, stay safe 😀
DJI video is definitely more cinematic and looks like it tells a story. FPV one is dynamic but directionless; would be great to capture high intensity action sequence with it though.
In DJI one the nature was the subject, in FPV one the camera speed & acrobatics was itself the subject.
Very interesting take on this. I've never heard it put that way with the camera movement of FPV being the subject. Very cool take on it! Good food for thought. Thanks for your comments! Would be interesting to see how FPV footage storytelling could be improved.
The FPV video is like riding on a roller coaster. The Dji produced a cinematic video.
Very true, both very different! Thanks for your feedback 😀
Great video! attaboy!👍👍👍
Thank you!! 😃
To me both videos are great, the FPV was just to fast to enjoy, it was like being in a plane.
Glad you enjoyed them both! Maybe you would prefer a longer style fpv clip, a nice one take mountain surf maybe? Interesting food for thought though. Thanks for watching and being engaged! 😃
to be honest if you are not old enough after flying fpv anything else just feels waste of money :D
Both are great but FPV keeps my attention....
Yeah FPV is definitely more engaging to watch. The movement is so dynamic that its hard to look away!
Thanks for sharing this great video. Both are awesome. However, iFlight FPV is far more dynamic than the DJI Mini 4 Pro. Liked and subscribed. 👍
Hey! Glad you liked the video! Yeah the FPV is so much more dynamic. I love both of them as well haha. Welcome to the community 😀
@@JustinBainbridgeYT Thanks, bro. Yeah, both are fantastic drones. Hopefully, I'll be able to fly both my DJI Mini 3 Pro and Avata on my next holiday. 😊
Nice comparison ^^ I'm fpv pilot from korea, nice to know u!
Thank you! That's awesome, I don't know anyone from Korea! Welcome to the community!
Very cool. Can I ask what you’re filming your BTS footage on? Is it GoPro? Cheers! 😊
Hey! I film it all using my phone, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 😃
I suppose it depends on your mood. Personally, when I'm by the beach/water, I want to chill so if I have to pick one... it's the mini 4pro. But I might be biased... I have one thanks to you and a few other YTers that caused me to 'upgrade' from a Mavic 2 Pro. I don't fly enough so I should probably sell the old one.
Yeah, also very true. Sometimes, you just want to chill and fly the mini. Sometimes, you want to get the blood pumping and fly FPV. 😀
Try fpv. Even if not filming its fun to fly. I mostly fly my fpv. I'll go from ocean mile out and fly all the way in right into my hotel room
Great videos Justin. What filters do you use for mini 4 pro?
Thank you! I use the Freewell ND filters, in this video I used an ND128 and an ND128PL also a bit of colour grading in post to give it more of a look I like. 😃
@@JustinBainbridgeYT Thanks, Justin, these are good filters. You have great content and great videos. Keep it up Bud!
@shamsgm1551 No problem! Thanks for being part of the community bud!
I loved them both, the 2nd was as expected far more of a rush. LOL. My wife got sick looking at the 2nd clip. Too much motion for the sensitive ones.. ☺ 🤮 Great flying !
Haha, I'm glad you liked them both! Yeah, FPV can make people feel a bit light-headed at first. You'll just have to pop the Avata goggles on her and give her the full experience 😆 Thanks again!
I’m new in the drone world but I have for a long time wanted and FPV as I want the feeling of flying. For the past few days i’ve seen multiple YT videos of the new Avata 2 and the Mini 4 Pro and finally I can see what the difference between FPV and cinematic is. Thanks for a great video (I’ve seen almost all your videos today) - new sub. I think I will get the Avata 2 for the speed etc.
Just curious, is it possible to do more cinematic videos with Avata 2 (if you fly more steady and calm and/or edit in post)?
Hey! That's awesome, Glad you enjoyed the video and are looking into the world of FPV drones. You can also do slower more cinematic shots with the Avata 2 but it's not as good at that particular style of shot as the Mini 4 Pro. Its only a single axis gimbal so it has its limitations. Also its got a much wider native FOV so you will get a different look to the image too. It is possible to an extent but it's easier to achieve with the cinematic drones.
thank you
You're welcome! 😀
Both drones produced great footage and which is best really depends on the purpose of the footage, I wouldn’t say one is more cinematic than the other just that they are both good but in different ways. The DJI is good for slow and stable shots whilst the FPV drone is better for more dynamic and flowing shots.
It would be very interesting to see you make a single edit combining clips from both the DJI and FPV drone, it’s something that I haven’t really seen done very much and it may let you use the best aspects of both types of flying.
Very true. Both have their different purposes for different stlyes of footage. Yes that's very true. It's not often people combine both types into one edit. I have some future video ideas where this could fit into. Thanks for your input and thanks for watching 😃
What camera are you vlogging with???....Watching your contents from the Solomon Islands
I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Wow that's awesome! 😃
OK I have the drone bug, Proud owner of mini 4 pro and Avata 2 and although I am not an expert, I am comfortable flying in manual now. So thinking about getting a pure FPV drone. Which model do you have please Justin? Is it the Nazgul Evoque F6 V2? Is everyone like this lol, wanting more than one drone for different situations? 😊
I have the Nazgul Evoque F5D V2. The F6, 6 inch is also a good option but the 5 Inch is a little more agile. I also use this drone as a dual platform where I have a long range and short range setup with different batteries and antennas so I can avoid having a 7 inch drone also. You can't really go wrong with either the Nazgul or the GepRC mark 5. Personally, I went with the Nazgul, and I haven't looked back. It's a tryuly beautiful drone to fly. Yeah, I think everyone goes through the stage of wanting loads of drones haha. Some people then want a smaller fleet that can do everything, and some just keep buying them till they have a house full of them 😅
@@JustinBainbridgeYT thanks Justin! Yeah just been watching some videos of Bardwell and he was singing the praises of the Nazgul. I think I will try and pick one up in next few weeks. With that one, my Avata 2 and mini 4 pro I am covered for most situations. Thank you so much for your advice!
@@JustinBainbridgeYT that’s digital right? I don’t think I could stand analog!! Been looking at the Nazgul Evoque F5 V2 O3, is that the same please? Might wait a little as they are surely gonna bring out an O4 version soon no? Compatible with RC3 and goggles 3? Apologies for all the questions!
4 pro❤
It does create beautiful cinematic footage! Thanks for watching 😃
DJI is the one for me - the FPV is fun, but due to speed, you miss alot of the surroundings and details
I won a pair of the N3 Goggles, do you know what would be the cheapest non DJI drone and controller for a beginner?
There's a lot out there to pick from. You could go with something like the radiomaster pocket or boxer. Get the ELRS version. And for a drone it really depends what you want, smaller drones I'd reccomend something like the new Cinelog 30 O4 from GepRC. Or if you want a 5 inch then there's plenty to pick from, iFlight Nazgul, Cineflow. GepRC Vapor. Whatever you get I'd reccomend getting the O4 pro version. 😃
both are good for what, I'll say, your end results are. I have to admit that I am not as good editing which is what makes everything. I have found that if you wear goggles with the dji drones, the ones that allow that, you fly them entirely different than if you use the screen controller. but, if you don't have good footage to begin with, you have nothing to end with.
Editing does play a big part, but also, as you say, you need to have good footage to begin with. Hence why I also link at the end a video showing how to get more cinematic footage with the Mini 4 Pro and also with FPV. So, hopefully, that will be less of an issue 😃
Thanks, man!! I was inspired by you, and I'm planning to buy the DJI Mini 4 Pro to start recording like you, bro
Hey man! That's awesome, I'm glad I helped you to get into drones, you're going to love it! Let me know how you get on with the Mini 4 Pro! 😃
I love fov
Number one was more cinematic
Main ke Indonesia bang
i prefer fpv its so cool
That's awesome. FPV is such a cool way to capture footage for sure!
I tell u one thing, u get more joy flying fpv. Those that pick dji is bacuase they don't know how to fly acro mode. I was once like that too, nothing is close to acro mode fpv.
This is true. There's nothing like flying full acro FPV. I do still enjoy capturign some nice cinematic stuff with the mini, but 9 times out of 10 I fly FPV 😃
Neathier because you LIE Which is better DJI or DJI.... you ain't fooling me bro their both DJI anyone into Drones and FPV knows DJI sells a Air unit all in one to work with their goggles so the only difference here is 1 his Post Editing and the fact that one is the gopro vs DJI Mini pro 4 camera on board I mean if you didnt know this you would think its the same but idk I feel like this guy is fly because even his "FPV Drone" ONE OF the core elements hes still using DJI just a different controller
Not sure what you're getting at here 😂 It's an O3 air unit on an iFlight drone. The drone is not made by DJI and it's an FPV drone. Where the Mini 4 Pro is a stabilised drone. That's the core comparison of the video. If you think FPV footage and DJI Mini 4 Pro footage are the same then I'm not sure what to say. Thanks for the feedback 😃
Mantap bro salam kenal salam satu pilot udah gw sascreb like balik bro 👍✌️🇮🇩
