So much is being talked about on how to get the smooth, and not so jerky motion of the camera, and panning of the P4P. What settings are best for this?
The other aspect of shooting I have tried to use is HDR. I feel that my pictures are not coming with the color and quality that I am seeing of others. Again, I really do appreciate your videos! Cheers! John
Great video. I've been shooting in 1080p at 60fps. Manual mode. 1/120th shutter speed. D-Cinelike style. Any suggestions for changing that around? Should I go with 30fps and 1/60th shutter speed? If so, what advantage would that give me? Thanks! I have the P4, not the Pro.
Magnum The main reason that I shot in 30fps on the Phantom 4 was to record in 4K. 1080P at 60fps yields some buttery smooth footage though (and you can also slow it down to 30fps in post for slow motion purposes). Sounds like your shutter speed settings are spot on!
I ordered the car charger and tri-battery charger yesterday fromì your site. This will help out immensely and help with the back charges. Do you use the car charger? What has your experience been.
+Dee Trott 4K60 is recorded in h.264 only, which has a lower bitrate (60Mbps) than the h.265 codec (100Mbps). So there is a little more detail in the video when shooting in h.265. That being said, 4K60 brings with it some great flexibility, such as slowing the footage down 50% to achieve slow motion 4K footage. My frame rate does vary depending on what I'm shooting. My newest videos including the latest VLOGs were shot in 4K60 on my P4Pro. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! John
One of the best videos out there for video settings on the drone. However people should be shooting in 4K 60FPS much smoother for pans and other shots. I have been a stickler about this for years and have held on shooting the 4K because it was only offered at 30fps but now the Pro lets you do 60. If your computer can't handle the job its time to upgrade that also. Me I use Xeon processors and highly recommend them for video editing. I find myself doing less work in the high end video stuff these days and more commercial photo using this drone. But its camera is a game changer with the mech shutter.
Having the ability to shoot 4K60 in a drone of this size & price range is amazing. Sometimes I prefer 24/30FPS and other times I use the 48/60FPS, just depends on the shoot. Jealous of your XEON processors! 🙌
Hey John, Thank you for this tutorial. Ive started to follow you, and really like what you are teaching about he P4P. I am shooting real estate. Photo's and Video. I really don't have the knowledge or the time for the editing, so we are having a 3rd party to edit for us. When giving them direction to make the videos look alive, and have color to it how do I direct them, in the editing process for the outcome that you are producing? I do appreciate your advice. Cheers, John St. Louis
Hello. Great video and even better tips!! Since i am not an expert about photofraphy, every tip (tips) that came out is pricelssssss for me!!! Howerer...i own P4 and i know its not even im same universe as p4pro, but i learned a lot from your vidsy. So......great job!!! Ps. Woild be awsome if you share a video aboiu p4 best camera settings ans maybe some nd filtes on it. Bit doestn matter....you helped me a lot!!! #
Hi thanks for useful video I'm shuffling through the camera setting on my phantom 4 pro ...Can U point me in right direction please ...got a problem with my p4p I'm in UK and just bought p4p in camera settings in trying to set up 4k. In UK we use pal . But when i switch to this setting i loose the 60 frames per second it drops to 50fps .No idea why and i don't think this is right any ideas? Colin uk
ISO isn’t how much light enters the sensors, it’s the sensors sensitivity. The aperture controls how much light is let in.. I’m sure you knew this already
Hey John, quick Q, I have those red lines on my video footage like you have around the railings in you footage. What are they please? are they useful or can I get rid of them. Many thanks...
+Jon Peters Drone Media They are focus peaking lines, they let you know what areas in the image are in focus. You can turn them off in the camera settings menu if you like.
DroneOneMedia many thanks I knew you would have the answer. And thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Do you also use manual focus i.e.; set to infinity?
Hope everyone enjoys! What videos would you like to see in the future? Let me know right here! 🍻

How do u turn on the camera on the iPad because mine not working
DroneOneMedia Hey, do you have the link to the drone App?
Great i will download. I am from Brazil by the way. Are you going to make a camera playlist?
I never heard if you mentioned park threshold focusing, very important! Now I have to double check
In terms of the camera for the pro, should I switch on mechanical or keep it off?

+John Kaddouri Use it a lot, works great (little slower than the AC wall charger, but very convenient!
hi John do you have to tap to focus on every single shot?
Thanks John. Really clear and concise. Very helpful.
Thank you for watching! Glad it helped 😊
Great video, but you didn't cover what the best image ratio is for camera stills - any recommendation?
very good clear instructions
Hey John. Why don't you record in 4K/60 ? I'm sure there's a good reason. I'm just trying to make sense of it all. THANKS

And.one more.question?
W1hich postproduction program ar you useing for this great resault?
Thanks for answer and fly safely.
Nice video. I appreciate your effort.

Great clip but why can you only choose 4K with 24fps or 30fps on the P4P? Shouldn't there be 48fps and 60fps (in NTSC settings)?
+Daniel Saredi Its because I shoot in the h.265 codec. For 4K 60fps, you must select the h.264 codec.
ISO isn’t how much light enters the sensors, it’s the sensors sensitivity. The aperture controls how much light is let in.. I’m sure you knew this already
Yep, my bad.
Nice video
good video..very helpful.
Thank you for watching!
How can you record the screen of your smartphone IOS?
+a Mulher do Drone There is an app called Airshou that you can use. For this video, I recorded my screen with a separate camera.
The iphone have this function already, without a app, look for the notifications buttons in the adjusts...

+Jon Peters Drone Media I don’t use manual focus on the P4P as I’ve found it to be unreliable and the auto focus works just fine.
Which music did you u use?
Sir my new phantom 4 plus drone recording only 2 minutes video clip stop recording 2 minutes what can i do
I like : "ISO is to control the noise in the image" :)
Waw thats cool! :)
+Coline Aerial motions Thank you!
Coline Aerial motions Nice channel.
You go to fast for beginners, you skipped over image size
