[@Przemo-c]

I know it can be cheesy if exaggerated or used too often but i like to do zoom pull sometimes. Using the wheel to slowly pull while closing in. Can add some drama.

[@CadohaAdventures]

100% going to add a couple of these to my next montage. Good job, old sport. Keep it up! 🍻

[@Joey_Helms]

[@aledjoseph2261]

All your shots look amazing. I just hope I can shoot shots half as good when I get my DJI air 2s. all I need to do now is learn what and how to colour grade, pick the right music and edit all this together to make some jaw-dropping clips to make my insta friends jealous.

Great video, thank you so much! I missed the 'wing style' shot. Not possible on all drones but my Fimi x8 2020 has a flight mode that simulates a fixed wings plane and that's adding cool dynamics....

Do you have it on sport mode on 7?

All those shots are in standard. Due to the low altitude it looks like you are flying much faster. Neat trick ;)

[@RangerRickTV]

@@Joey_Helms ya I just got my drone, but it seems like sport mode doesn't have obstacle avoidance.

[@geodrone7643]

@05:10 why your image is so fragmented on margins? Have you forgoten the SS = 2 x FPS? Or just forgot to check maximum yaw speed for F2.8 24FPS? :)))))

[@willjchoi]

Such a Solid vid! Well done man, very helpful!

[@Joey_Helms]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RenoSydney]

Great tips! Is this footage scaled in post? All of it looks to be higher focal lengths than what's built into the DJI drones.

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks a ton! Nope I was shooting it all natively. Very rarely cropped, ...if at all. Cannot remember.

[@RenoSydney]

@@Joey_Helms Thanks for the reply! So I take it you're using DJI's built in zoom feature? If I'm not mistaken, this is the same as digital zoom right? (unless different drone models have optical zoom?) Shots like 0:49 look slightly telephoto and are so freaking epic & crisp, even on a 4k monitor.

[@Joey_Helms]

That's on the Mavic 2 Pro which has a wide and crop 4K mode. I usually film in crop

[@sophiefrischknecht2977]

Nice video. I just started practising my drone flying and am still struggling with getting smooth trajectories without having to do any abrupt adjustments... one question here.. would you need gimbal adjustments for any of these maneuvers? Any tips on keeping the subject in focus (manually)?

[@Joey_Helms]

Thanks a lot!
I recommend dialing down the gimbal speed as well as the smoothness to around 20 and play from there. For me it depends on the situation, if I fly with gloves and have less feeling and precision in my fingers I have those numbers on the lower end, if it's warm and I don't need gloves you can be more nimble with the wheel. As for focus, since you are mainly shooting wider shots at a high aperture I have yet to find the need to adjust the focus mid-flight, usually I set it to infinity and go.
