Mr Hagan, I have seen a lot of videos on the Phantom 3's and 4's and 4 Pros, and I have to say YOURS ARE BY FAR THE BEST in terms of quality of information, quality of the video itself, and finally smooth narration. You're a true professional and that's obvious and that's why I'm a subscriber. I hope to see more of your fine work on anything with the P4P as the subject matter.

I learned more about video quality and settings from this video than I have in years of making movies. Thanks for the professional, clear, concise and incredibly helpful analysis of the Phantom 4 Pro capabilities.

It's folks like you that are making a hobby for an old retired guy a lot of fun. Thank you!

The finest narration & information I heard so far. You cover lots of topics & in-depth analysis, which I don't get to hear from other videos. Thank you for the wonderful video.

What can I say? What a breath of fresh air your advice and experience is to the rest of us mere mortals Frederick! I have been a professional photographer for many years and am now venturing into using a drone as an imaging platform. Your advice - and the way it is imparted is priceless! Thank you so much for sharing.

WoW, I have been reviewing settings but you own it, your knowledge is fantastic and thank you for taking the time sharing your knowledge in an easy to understand way. Thank you a million times over for this.

Great video, Frederick! Thank you for telling us the "why" and not just the "what!" Very informative, as always!

Fred, I've watched a few of your videos and they are excellent. I set my camera on my P4P+ to your settings and they are great. You are by far the best presenter I have seen and heard on KZfaq. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to seeing more great videos.

Your ph4 color settings vid is incredible. Most professional I have ever seen! Yer gonna cost me a ton of time trying to catch up and I'm gonna love it! Many thanks. Cliff

I learned so much from this. Thank you for providing a video that is exactly what the title says it is, and not making is fast forwarded through half the video to get to what we came for , like so many others. Also for not trying to sell us something or redirect us to some sort of revenue stream. A breath of fresh air in the clutter full world of you tube.if I could like it twice I would.👍🏻👍🏻

There are a lot of "Best Settings" videos, but this was by far, one of the most intelligent and well thought out explanations I have found on You Tube, so far. Please keep this info coming. Subscribed and Liked.

Great work! We just upgraded from the P4 to the P4P and will definitely be giving these settings a try!

Superb how to videos Mr.Hagen! From your calming narration to the dream like background music your videos stand beyond the rest. Will always recommend!

It's so nice to receive this information from a professional. Your video's are the best I've come across by far. Did I mention Clear, Concise and very easy to understand! Keep up the fantastic work, you're truly a fantastic asset for many of us!!

I know next to nothing about photography. This video helped immensely. Very through and easy to understand. Instant subscriber. Great work Frederick.

This is one of the very best, if not best videos I have watched on color profiles. I have subscribed to your channel, and look forward to more great videos on my new Phantom 4 Pro. Cheers! John

Frederick Hagan, your videos are so easy, and pleasant to watch. Thank you! Keep up the great work.

Great tutorial, just what I asked for. Fred you are doing a phenomenal job helping us to get better at this , thanks a lot!

Thank you so much. Your tutorials have made a huge difference for me. Very nicely done. I truly learn from and enjoy your gift to all.

This was extremely helpful. Your recommended settings have vastly improved the quality of my videos. Much appreciated.

This guy is the Bob Ross for Drone Guides. Thanks for your tips! I just got a Phantom 4 Pro and this has helped me tremendously. Keep up the good work, subscribed! Quick question- Since you still need ND filters for this, which would you recommend on a tighter budget (Not sure if I need the entire set).

Hi Frederick, a great video. Easy to understand and full of fantastic information. I've only just subscribed after finding this, but the ease in which you go thru everything, unobtrusive, easy going, simple, lay back information that is pertinent to the cause is fantastic. I'm a flyer, not a photographer so this is of great value for me now that there is a camera involved. Prior to this, I have been leaving everything on auto. Now, not any more. Thanks and Merry Xmas.

Best teacher I've seen so far. Thanks for taking time to explain the jargon. I've been watching KZfaq videos for over a year to learn videography and often get lost because I don't understand the language (like moire and aliasing) or cannot retain it when it is explained. But with you, I get it and I won't lose it because the explanation is clear and simple. Keep it up, your audience will grow quickly with content like this! I haven't browsed your channel yet so this may be covered, but if you are looking for other hot topics, mine would be a primer on color grading. Answer questions like: Why bother to purposely "flatten" it and fix it later when you can just set D-Cinelike with 0,0,0 and save time? How do you know when the green is green enough, and the red is red enough? Hopefully that is something that could be taught without having to choose specific editing software.

Incredible content, incredible knowledge, and you explain things in a way that I can understand thank you so much for your videos and the way they are formatted

You're amazing, awesome video sir! Flying for the first time today.

Always love your vids Frederick! Thanks for taking the time to do them! ;-)

+1 sub, I like having the setting explained and having back to back comparisons, very helpful.

Subscribed after seeing this video! I cannot thank you enough for how well done this is.

Thanks for the Great Video! I cant wait till the weekend to give these options a try!

I agree, great job presenting the material. Glad I found your channel.. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for the extraordinary amount of useful information and for answering so many questions that I didn't know enough to ask before watching this video. Subscribed, liked, and requested notification.

That was so well explained, Great job and well put together

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I am very new to the drone video and pic taking and need all the info i can get and this video is very informational in regards to what i'm looking for.. I'm flying the new P4P V2.0 and having a heck of a time with the camera settings. Thank you ! Keep smiling !

I absolutely LOVE this video & your channel. Subbed. Thank-you very much for taking the time to share your best P4P settings with us. Much appreciated! I am on vacation in Croatia currently using my P4P for the very first time today, did about an hour worth of filming. I was filming in 4K 60FPS, using Polar Pro's ND4-PL, ND8-PL & ND16-PL filters, still waiting for them to ship out the ND8, ND16 & ND32 cinema series filters-those should be here by Friday this week. Long story short, while flying I could see the zebra lines in many of my shots, and after reviewing the footage I wasn't happy at all, as all the videos looked very over exposed. I will be giving your settings a try tomorrow; keeping my fingers crossed the footage will look amazing! I'm traveling to Italy, Denmark & Germany before completing this vacation-so much more flight time ahead! Thank-you very much for your help! Cheers.

Thank you very much for posting these tips! Explained in easy to understand terms!

Thank you Frederick, this kind of information is just what I was looking for. Great job!

Thank you, thank you!! Really made a difference. My first drone and started to learn to fly then focused on the camera.

Only got a P4P a couple days ago and I have to say, your videos are really helpful when it comes to things like settings etc. Not only do you describe what settings to use but why you should use them which seems to be something that I cant find elsewhere.

Mate, great video. Very helpful and detailed, thanks a lot!

Thank you very much for your camera and filming critique, I have been looking for someone who knows how to work a camera really well. Thanks!

Hi Frederick.. I have a question for you cause you always find the will and time to answer))) this is not about the drone but a camera ( that I will use to shoot videos ) the sony rx100 mark 5,, but the basics are the same... on the last trip I did some videos in auto mode and the result was a disaster.. the trees I was filming looked just way to crispy and sharp ( probably due to a very high shutter speed,, was a very bright day.... now ( after applying what you explained in the DJI tutorials ) I set it up like this ( shutter speed priority mode,, so it is locked (depending on fps) but the aperture is changing automatically ,,, 24 fps, shutter speed 1/50 ,, aperture auto,, ISO auto... but even when it gets to aperture 11f (max) it is still overexposed,, in the case of the drone i would regulate this with ND filters,,, what can i do in this case??? isn t it better to keep just a locked shutter speed so the camera can regulate automatically the aperture for getting the right amount of light??? cause the light conditions are changing constantly...just when increasing the shutter speed to 1/200 the exposure is ok,, but then i have broken the rule of thumb (shutter speed 2x the fps ).. please explain a bit how to keep the values and what to do when light conditions change,, thanks a lot in advance and sorry if some of the questions are stupid but I am just a beginner in manual settings for video))))

Awesome information on achieving desired results with my camera. I look forward to future videos.

new to the P4P and i think this video will really help me as a staring point. I love your relaxed tone and the way you explain each setting and how it affects the results. I have subscribed for more great videos. Keep up the great work thanks

Very helpful and well done tutorial, thanks mate.

Your good at explaining the amazing Phantom 4 camera. Thanks man.

Another great video. Really helpful. Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences with us.

Hi Thanx for being so fast with your reply i will send it back as i bought second hand as new on eBay they can have it back thank you so much Colin please keep the videos coming as they're great . I've had a taster of the hobby so i need to keep my eyes peeled for another hopefully with more success asap as ive not had so much enjoyment in a long time as that brief encounter yesterday evening i was totally absorbed in it. My wife is disabled and i care for her 24/7 and because she is in so much pain it's hard to find something that takes the pressure off best wishes colin

Wow! Very informative and a video for any beginning drone pilot to look at.

Excellent, clear advice. Filming in normally pretty sunny conditions most of the time here in the Philippines, it has been hard to get really clear footage. I now use an ND16 filter, which has helped, to and will try your recommended settings on top. Thanks very much

Thank you for this great video with lots of helpful hints and tips!

I like the way you explained the terms and jargon in plain English...thank you!

thanks so much for the video frederick, very clear and informative for the beginner photographer i really appreciate the time and hard work you've put into this video for the benefit of so many including myself

Great video! I'll be coming back here a few times I'm sure and the film profile settings is fantastic reference.

Both informative and enjoyable - thanks for an excellent tutorial!

Perfect explanations, everything plausible, very nice guy and awesome grading in the end. Thank you for your work, keep on supporting us. Liked and subscribed.

Thank you sir! This was a very logical walk-through and explanation which helped me out a lot.

Je vous remercie de ce formidable tutoriel bien utile. Bonne et heureuse année

Thanks for the overview. My main takeaway is to bring the contrast down all the way. I hadn't looked at it the way you explain here (preserving shadow and highlight detail).

Thank you for taking the time to post all this valuable information. Your videos are excellent.

Thanks again this a great video well done!! Quick question for you...is D-cinelike considered a Log profile like D-log? What is difference between Cinelike and D-log? If I use d-cinelike like you suggest...do I need a special transcoding tool like on DJIs website last year they suggest using with D-log, OR can I just take D-cinelike footage and edit normally in FCP or another software editing highlights, shadows, etc without a special transcoding tool. Thanks!

Like your videos, not in the last place because of the nice tone and speed of speech, obviously in combination with your deep knowledge. Thanks!!

Incredibly useful information here. Thank you my friend.

Your videos are extremely helpful, thank you !

Great tutorial! Thank you so much!

Great video. Explained very well. One of the better videos on the p4 pro, thanks

Excellent - best video I have watcher. I work commercially and I still learnt a lot of good stuff. Thanks. Mark UK

Mr Hagen, thank you! As a novice videographer, your 'Best Camera Settings' video is VERY helpful! Did I mention - thank you? Paul

I love this video. I bought a phantom 4 pro and I know nothing about cameras, so this is a huge help.

Thanks! Just got my P4 Pro. Lots of good info in here.

Great video , thanks so much, will give those settings a go over the weekend. have you got any videos up for night time settings for the phantom 4 pro ?

Awesome. Can't wait to get my P4P now that I know the best settings to use. Thanks! 😊👍✨

Very useful and well explained. Thanks from the island of Cyprus!

I just got my p4p last week and this video totally answered all of my questions! It's so helpful. By the way, what editing software do you use in those sample videos in the end. Thank you so much!

THANK YOU for taking the time to make this for the rest of us.

Great info on video settings on the P4P.. Thanks very much Frederick ;)

Fantastic video, sir. Love the soft background music as you explain your settings. Couple questions...Would the settings for the P4P carry over to the Mavic? And, do you have any videos/tutorials on post, and what program do you use? I only have iMovie. Again, very nice video !!

I love youtube! This is the first video on your channel that I've watched. Very informative and concise tutorial :) learned quite a lot on here from you which is very helpful. Do you have any other videos on post processing to get the desired video results right near the end of your video? they looked amazing. thanks!

this is fantastic help and very well explained to a novice like me, I have a p4p,mavic air and i1p and still tying to learn about camara setting .

Thank you for the information!! I hope this works better for my next capture

Hi Thanx once again you've given me new hope I'll do that first thing and I'll also watch your video about camera settings and change mine colin

Frederick, I'm just getting my P4P+ today and am very glad to have run across this excellent settings video you posted. It's nice to see a video where you know what you are talking about and understand the complexities of dynamic range and post work. Thank you. I chose the P4P since I am a professional photographer and have also been an R/C model (glider) flyer for years. What freaks me out about drones is that there is no glide ratio associated with their flight characteristics. Maybe someone should invent a deployable chute system on the top in the event of sudden power failure or using the abort feature? Just in case though, I did buy the 12-month DJI Care Refresh. Looking forward to your updates or other videos. As for your update notes on the Film Modes - do your original descriptions match the new descriptors (Art, Film, etc. ) in the same sequence or did DJI marketing mess this all up? Thanks again, Doug

Thanks very much for these recommendations. Very well explained too! I wish you were a drone camera instructor, I'd take your course!

Thank you, Frederick! I'm not new to video production, just to aerial video, your tutorial was very helpful! Can you recommend any books on aerial video composition and lighting?

Great video my friend you are the best I just have one question where should I have the Aperture setting if I am using sunny or cloudy I will not be using auto white balanceSo if you click on either sunny or cloudy is the aperture setting automatic or do I have to mess with it thank you Frederick

Very informative, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for this fantastic video I have a few questions I just bought the phantom for advanced and I must say it is amazing. My question is do you use one of the presets white balance such as sunny with a custom white balance at the same time? What about a custom of 5000k i’m not going to do any post coloring it’s going to be straight out the camera. And my next question is if you had a choice which filter would you use the most ND 32 or ND 16?I love both of them. And since I’m not going to be doing any post editing with the color can you write down the sharpness, contrast, and saturation settings if I’m not going to do any post coloring editing, thank you so much Frederick you are the man. By the way I shout in 2.7k at 24 fps. So it should be 1/50 is that right? Thanks again

Your videos extremely informative. Tone, content, and delivery are perfect! I just picked up a Phantom 4 Pro Plus as I'm brand new to drones. My question would be do you know of a sweet spot on the P4+ camera for aperture setting. All my regular camera lenses have a sweet spot where they are their sharpest and I'm just wondering if the P4+ would have one. Thanks very much in advance for any info.

Hi Frederick. Nice video - very impressed with your clarity and detail. Quick question though - what are you using for colour correction? I currently use stock standard Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. Would LOVE to see you do a tutorial on this subject. Cheers, D.

What a great well explained video, I get a lot of that 1st stepping shimmer thingy "That's Moire!!" ;) never knew that, let alone thought that I was able to control it, probably need to watch this again and a few other videos of yours and try some of the settings to get a better feel of what my eye likes, but its nice as a relative noob at this to at least be able understand what your talking about, as I am new! I practice and film in the same location for now, so that gives me a chance to compare the same footage taken with the different settings. Thx p14b

Thanks a lot for this video! Learned a lot.

Thank you so much for this video I just got my phantom 4 pro and had its first flight today after watching this video and copying your settings!! Wow what an awesome drone and your colour correcting is amazing any chance you could do a video on that ?? I love the cinema look!!

Master Work here Fred. Thx so much.

thanks for the great info not sure I understand how you got the changes in the videos at the end but they were great

Hi Frederick. I love your videos and find them very informative. I wanted to give you a tip. Instead of leaving the "adjust gimbal roll" up on your screen, you can hold C2 and turn the right dial on the remote to adjust the gimbal roll.

Love your videos. I like how you explain what exactly you do and the reason for it. My videos have improve immensely. Thank you

I dont have those Film Colors... Maybe because I havent done any firmware updates... Is it safe to do that?? I'm afraid to do that after my experience with updates on Phantom4 which turned my drone into the garbage and they didnt fixed until now! So I run my P4P and Mavic Air on original firmware... Also P4 use to have Vivid Color option with was tremendous

Thanks for the info, very helpful!

Very nice. Thanks for your time.

Thank you! Very clear!

Very informative video Frederick. I upgraded recently to a phantom4 pro plus, and I'm still playing around with the settings and colors, but still not very confident with things. Do you mind sharing how you did those color grading shots at the end of your video, and what kind of program did you use ? I never used a color editing software before (at the moment I'm using windows movie maker) and would like to know your recommendations on what's a good program to use on a normal strength pc. Thank you for your time.
