It may not be the drone but the settings. I've seen some amazing night footage from this drone from other photographers. I'm not saying there aren't better drones for low light / night photography & video but I do think you can get good results with the MA2
@@neilcollinsrecording I owned maybe 6 drones before this.. this one is the worst in night video recording.. I tried everything to record in low light!..also cuz I used it too much for more than a year.. the remote now charging fully then be dead in 5 minutes of using!!..I sent it back to dji and they said they will replace remote battery for 75$ so I ignored that and bought new one from ebay for 80$.. so at night it's veryyy bad u can see nothing and u will have bettery issue in far future.. I think mavi pro 2 is the best but i am waiting for the 3 pro it should be crazy good
I get dark horizontal bands running up the screen - possibly coming from the POI tracking software settings.? For example going round a town's Xmas tree:
I don’t use mine at night very often so probably not the best person to ask in that respect. May be better to ask someone who has more knowledge of astrophotography 👍🏻
Nice video, watched it when before doing my 1st night flight with my Mavic 2 Pro in my hometown (to film the X-mas lighting). I shot with 800 ISO, 30 fps and 1/60. if some (not) of the strret lights are flickering - which adjustments would you make? Thanks, mate
Change to 1/50 if you can? Shutter speeds of 60 are at the same frequency as a lot of street lighting so that should fix that or shoot at a higher shutter speed 100 or something?
The meat of the video does indeed. Its all subjective my friend and I appreciate some people want to get straight to the meat but I do need to build some context and introduce the channel to people who haven't been here before. It's a tricky balance to strike and I'm always learning! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment though
The Image was already falling apart at 3200, I wouldn't go up to 6400 unless you are planning on doing a lot of noise reduction in post. Personally I wouldn't push the ISO past 1600 on the MA2

Hi thank you for your video but say although I also have a mavic air 2, my iso goes no further than 1600, whereas on yours we have 3200 and 6400 !!! so how do we get 3200 and 6400? Serge from Canada
I could be wrong but I think if you are shooting in Cine D the maximum ISO is 1600, if you shoot in Neutral then you can go right up to 6400, let me know if this is the case?

What settings would you put if you record a video at an open rooftop at night?
what about 6400?

I'd use ISO 6400, 60fps or 30
Not too much noise?

Well that's up to you.. I like it a little brighter and you can always ad contrast in post... Try it out.

You could save us 12 minutes and tell us what we know - can not make any night footage with the dji air 2 !😅😂
Not usable. Waste of time.
Well as I have taken some night footage with the DJI AIr 2 whatever. It's not the best at night footage admittedly but I dodn't claim it was
Those are literally the worst settings you chose 🤦🏽
They are literally not but thanks for your input. No problem with you sharing your settings so people can compare and contrast?

you need to go a tad higher.
3200 or even 6400 which could be useful on the Air2.. not least if you willing to run the footage thrue a denoiser..and then you can mix it up with lensfilters in regards to the scene.
