I think it's great that your intro before the main video is so short. That's very appealing to continue watching! BTW, this was a fantastic short tip that is 100% on point!

Thank you. Always good to be reminded of how to get maximum advantage from the time available flying. I'm travelling to north-west Spain in September for part of the Camino. I'll keep your advice in mind. 6am starts on the hike are common. 7am to 8am would be golden hour there at that time of year. Evenings will mean I will have to hike a minimum of 1km away from the towns I'll be staying in, due to Spanish drone laws. I watched your video on taking drones on airplanes yesterday. Greatly appreciated the benefit of having your experience to go by.

You just proved it Jake. Everyone says "you can't make stunning videos without exotic locations like DJI uses to sell drones" - there's truth in that, but it's not ALL location, as you illustrate perfectly 😉 -and yes, I do at least 75% of my footage during Golden & Blue Hours, here... in North Carolina 😆 PS Evo 2 Pro has the most beautiful lens flare of any of my drones, multi-colored with jeweled pentagrams plus a halo at straight on sun.

@JakeSloan 2 жыл бұрын

Great advice! We do realestate videos, and the realtors always want to shoot at noon! It's so difficult to get them to understand, and they definitely don't want to pay for us to come out twice which is sometimes ideal for certain properties.

O'Hare Airport! Yes! ...er...um...on second thought...no. So, a couple of questions; Did you use the Mini3 for the upward shot on the water tower? What filter did you use when getting the sun shots? Thanks for the education.

That was O'Hare lol I forgot to film my landing in NC lol. This was all filmed with the Mavic 3 except for the few shots iii chicago which was the mini 3. I used ND16 if I remember correctly

Having fun with the Wide Angle Lens for Mini 3 Pro. Not sure why DJI dropped it before many got out there but Adorama has them on close out. Tip: Order as guest, not logged in or shipping is crazy priced. I logged off my account and got one for $41 shipped to North Carolina. Works in ALL modes including Focus Track (my Mavic 3 works in all but Focus Track after FW V01.00.0700 & 0800)

@JakeSloan 2 жыл бұрын

cool I didn't even realize they made one lol

@BlairAir 2 жыл бұрын

@@JakeSloan ME either, but yep. Some barrel distortion but works in all modes including Focus Track and even Panorama- Mini 3 Pro has no mechanism to detect its presence, which might be why they pulled it - DJI Hates not having control, lol! Looks noticeably wide in Portrait Mode footage. A great creative little tool. Grab one while you can, just make sure it's not a pre-order and stock still exists. Adorama still has some, but they won't last.
