A big Thank You for an awesome video. I have graduated from a toy drone to a Bugs 2 to a Mavic Pro in three months. Can you say addicted (lol) . I am a very senior citizen that managed to mostly crash my fixed wing rc planes for years and now my MP makes me look like a hero ! I love turning the sticks over to a local kid and see them light up. Your videos are the BEST I have found. This vid in particular really has helped me with my camera settings !

Thanks for this video. I've been thumbing around my video settings for a few weeks now. Very helpful. Awesome job.

I want to thank you for these vids,the one where you showed how to set physical settings,yaw,exp....made a huge difference in my footage!! Please keep up the great work!

That was educational. I've had my mavic pro for over a year and I'm just now getting into messing with the settings. This thing does great not just video but also aerial photography. Thanks for sharing!

Finally! This is the first video where I actually got some information I can use. Thank you very much.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate it very much. As you said, there are thousands of videos and beginners just make us more confused to decide how to choose the best camera settings.

You are the best at explaining I’ve seen on KZfaq!

Extremely helpful. Thank you for watching all those videos for us!!

Thanks for another informative tutorial. All of your Mavic Pro vlogs assist us rookie operators. Cheers!! 🍻

I recently upgraded from a spark to the Mavic Pro Platinum. Man, what a difference. I've watched a few of your videos and you've been helpful, even though they were for just the base Mavic, I think it's all the same other than battery and motor performance. Helping you with your passive income on your old videos. Take care and Merry Christmas.

you really summarised all the important notes we need to fly our mavic and enjoy its videos...great video...thank you

You must have been reading my mind. I needed this lesson! THANK YOU!!! Saved me a LOT of Time!

3 years later your still teaching people..You just saved me so much time And i had just got a mavic pro cause Its better than mavic air in my opinion even tho is older Thank you 👌🏼

Solid round up, I've been flying drones for 8 years, pro cinematographer for longer, always always always shoot at the highest res you can. In premiere in your ingest settings click the create proxies button choose the lowest res h264 this creates tiny copies of each one of your files, premiere will use these files to edit with and they are always linked to you large files and you will always export your high res files. There is also a toggle proxy button so you can take a peak at how you high res stuff looks when coloring your footage then toggle back to make you cuts. I have a beast of machine but edit stuff all the time on wimpy laptops using proxies. When you choose anything but full 4k your using less of already tiny sensor.

Hi Russ, thanks very much for the video covering MP settings, these will be very helpful as I start fine tuning my MP. As always, thanks for all these great helpful videos!

Amazing source of info, a real bonus to figure out where to begin with setting.

Clear, concise presentation. Thanks for researching and giving the average as well as some explanations. Wish I would have seen this before the other 20 videos I watched, LOL.

Well done! Effective structuring and flow of your video really got your points across. Thanks for taking the research time on the chin for us. Col D

One of the best camera settings videos I have seen. Thank you.

I really appreciate home much you have helped the drone community. You always put out great content.

Great video and advice.... I'm still learning with my MP but your content has helped...

Great vid - thank you for putting all the work into this! Big help to me.

Great video. Thanks for putting in the time to do the research. Sam from Australia

Thanks for this wonderful video. It really helps me!

Nice job mate. Will look to use some of these suggestions in my upcoming videos.

Thanks for simplifying and clarifying all that for us non-pro photographers. Really appreciate your presentations. You're getting better and better every day!

One of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Thanks 👍

Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this. Video settings have been a bit of a mystery to me. I'm going to follow your recommendations. Time to order those ND filters!

Very well done. Wonderful presentation. I love simple!

Hey Russ, I recently passed the UK drone pilot test and proudly have my licence. I have a Mavic pro (1st drone). absolutely Love your vids. You're Very down to earth, and you make it simple for a beginner like me. Great advice and thanks again. As we say in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 DIOLCH ! Thanks.

Thanks! Keep up the good work buddy!

Great content. Very helpful. Thanks and greetings from Greece.

Great advice and presentation - thanks

Loving your videos - Just subscribed 👍

I really like your channel and your unpretentious and honest presentation. You do not make a big show out of it / or yourself. The Information is always relevant and valuable to me. Thanks a lot & keep up the good work!

Great video and is very helpful. I put a 128GB micro SD card on my drone and I get about 4 and half hours of recordings on a single SD card. That is on a 4K setting.

Another great video. Thank you!

Thank you for the advice!

Thanks for this video. The first thing I did when I ordered my Mavic was to watch as many videos about camera and gimbal settings as I could stand to watch. One thing I will change because of what you say here is; change from MOV to MP4 as I do edit on a PC. I never knew the real difference and have really had no problems using the MOV.

Great video, as always :)

Perfect info video.

Really helpful! Thanks (first day flying the drone)

thanks for the info keep us update

great tutorial....no one has the BEST settings, every situation is different.. Thanks. !!

Thank you for really useful video... you've saved me loads of time! Great :)

God, this video was EXACTLY what I was looking for!!! Took me like 10 videos to get to this

Cheers man, very helpful.

Hey ty I'm really green your videos are a gold mine!!

Very interesting. I'm a newbie and I use every one of those suggestion except style. I usually go with -1, 0, 0. Great video!! Thanks bro!!

Man, you are so right on about the Mavic Pro camera settings videos here on KZfaq. If you had no idea of camera settings you can set and rest for days by witching the "Best Video Settings for the Mavic Pro" Thank You very much for using the the K I S S approach.

A year later and still relevant info. Thanks.

Outstanding video!

Awesome!!!! I thought my Mavic had a video recording problem. Tried everything. Even exhausted DJI tech support. Recorded in 1080: went back to my old (2008) MacBook Pro and video played perfect. Less quality of course but problem solved. THANK YOU!

Thank you very much for the video. Could you create / share a list of all Mavic Pro Best Camera Settings ? Each time there is a big upgrade, we have to re-enter those settings. So a list would be recommanded for me and others please. Thanks in advance.

Love this bloke unreal makes life so simple

Going for the ND filter. Currently taking the baby steps with my Mavic. I think the 2.7k speed rate is a good balance. Keep up the series.

I love your videos! Keep it up!

Phenomenal and awesome video one of the most informative for me since I'm really starting to dig into the video and camera settings. However there was one thing I would like to ask you to bring up in a future video. I've only had my mavic a month and flown about 7 times. Recently after watching your night flying tutorial which again was very helpful, I was flying and using the LED lights on the front of the Drone to keep track of my drone as I had a far up into the night sky and after going back inside my house I realized I never hit the record button. So I went back outside to shoot a another night shot of the city and after launching my drone back up into the air I must not have been looking up because I hit the record button then looked up and noticed the only thing I could see was the flashing green light. Well instantly I looked at the Mavic thinking oh my gosh I can barely see this thing and there's no red LEDs that I relied on earlier to keep track of my mavic. Well long story short I took awhile to realize that every time I press the record the red LEDs are meant to go off or turn off I should say. But before I realized all this I was thinking that my drone was broken that somehow filming out in the cold have done damage and I was in despair as I had not yet done the DJI refresh video to get the DJI refresh. So anyway if it might save some other knucklehead like myself from going into sheer panic and thinking that they're mavic is broken please mention this at a future video. Thanks so much and as always thanks for providing such a fantastic information and for taking the time to watch all those camera setting videos, it was very helpful. Oh, I also wasn't aware that this setting can be bypassed in camera settings as well as the main settings with the drone icon for those who want to attempt to film or photo with the led lights on. However I was told that you risk glare in your filming by doing so. Haven't tried it yet but I plan to. Even with my glasses on its hard as hell in pitch black to see that thing 200' or more in the air. Especially if its facing me. Thanks again and sorry for the lengthy message.

Well done and in a nick of time.

Hooooo perfect orientación 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽😃Nice video Thanks Boss the BEST

Thank you!

Nice video. Thanks for the tips. What program are you using to show your gopro screens? Thanks. Jim

great video,,, will save it for future references

Love the common sense approach you take in your vids 51. I'm a fan

Hi Russ new pilot and new mpp owner. Good video! Learned a lot! Right now I’m just flying around close to me for training purposes. I can’t be the only one that is on pins and needles as this one even at 11/2018 used prices a lot of money for me at least. Been LEARIMG AND ENJOYING your work. Also I appreciate the comments too. Seems this channel has some really smart creative friendly types and how cool is that! I’m rambling so thank you and All the best to you and yours everyone

Great video! Thinking of getting an editing program but don't want to go the premier pro. Would you recommend premiere elements for a beginner?

Thanks for that Tom, maybe worth checking it out!I used to fly radio control aircraft in the 80's and the only insurance you could get was via S.M.A.E, society model and Autical engineers, but that was only like a third party against injury or the like they would not cover loss or damage to the aircraft! But I will try some insurance companies here in the U.K. And see where I can go! Will let you know of outcome in the near future! Dave

Your videos have really helped me get comfortable with the mavic pro. I am still getting used to flying. Next project is to focus on footage. Thanks

thumbs up.. good video..

👍nice good job

Nice video..

Great video! Thanks for doing all the research for us!!! I’m currently using +1, -1,-1 for customs. I’d heard that the Mavic’s processor isn’t good with sharpness at zero or below. Anyone else hear that? Now, if they’d only fix the gimbal tilt wheel direction (it’s backwards!)... or give us an option to reverse it! Please DJI!!

Nice approach to resolving questions regard MP camera settings. One suggestion, though: if you are planning on showing your video on youtube, then 2720x1530 is as high as you need to go, as youtube severely downgrades the video resolution before storing/displaying it. The idea of making your footage "future proof" is a good one, so one might wish to shoot at higher resolution but at the expense of needing more storage and CPU processing power. Note also, 4096 only gives you 24 fps.

again another great job question when running my program the display say cache is full recording has stop I bought the 64gb card you recommend and view and download video files each flight...I know it in setting but can't locate? thanks again keep up the great work on Mavic. S

Great video. I appreciate the information in all your episodes. Very helpful. In this one you mentioned that you shoot in 30fps and look for the shutter speed to be 1/60sec as per the 180deg rule. The other option is 24fps at 1/50sec which some others recommend. Would you care to expand on this please. Thanks heaps!

I've watched a bunch of Mavic Pro vids too. So what you're basically advising is to adjust the Manual Camera settings at each flight if the conditions dictate and forego Auto altogether? WB to Sunny if bright outside, Cloudy if there are any and to also tweak the ISO accordingly? Makes sense. Maybe that's why I'm not completely happy with my footage up until now. I use PolarPro ND Filters too. Not sure those are benefiting me as they should. I'll mess with your suggestions and see what works for me. I do no Post Production work and I'll try 2K. Thanks!

Do you know where i need to go on my settings to turn my mavic pro platinum LCD LED Lights back on??? Thanks..

Great video, very informative. But you had your WB on auto at the beginning of your video. Is auto WB that bad or can you skirt around it?

I've brought the mavic pro 2 -- wanted to know if your able to zoom in and out when recording on the drone

Thank you.

Hiya, like the idea of the 2.7 choice and possibly your settings, and your video looks good too! Would you use Any filters on these settings and if so what number? And would it be a good idea to say have No4, No8. And I already have a No 16, Thanks buddy Dave

Hi,Thanks for the video.would you advice me should I update my mavic mro from 01.0400 to 01.04.0500.Thanks.

You’ve got the patience of a saint. Most of theses wahoos are fine tuning things that just don’t make that much dif. I get a situation where it seems that the playback appears to be skipping a frame. Like jerking ahead. The data is there but I think it’s because the default is 4K probably. When I choose lower settings, like 720 instead of the max, I get nice smooth playback.

Hi , great info , finally some body that makes sense :) , so if shooting in 2.7 , will it play on my hd led TV , which is not 4 k . Cheers

EXCELLENT video ! Would you carry over the same settings to the Mavic 2. I get mine today !!! Thank you, sir

Good info , I record in 2.7 More than good enough

Great video. Thank you. My question is, do you have to reset these settings every day or does the drone store them once you set them?

sweet bro!

Can you make a video on the other settings and what they mean please?

need your help please , dji pro, when i turn left or right it looks blurry, i wish there was a way to get normal home video on a clear or partly cloudy day with no post editing and to get good color, like with my phantom 3, with my old phantom 3 the color was always great right off micro card, so?? is there a setting to fly my dji pro to get the same good clear real color video, i shoot at 2.7,, thanks

You're doing well when I'm feeling a bit videoed out, spot yours - got to view that, and sure enough, you get me to sit up and pay attention :) Only videos of yours I'm not too keen on yet, are your reviews - and that's a compliment, because I feel like you could get me to spend a $1,000 on a chocolate tea pot so I'll do reviews later - spent more than enough for now ( paying for a holiday to Norway, plus a couple of nights away in a hotel prior to departing, plus gadgets all in the space of a week)

Hey “rabi” 4K footages is more about where is it that processors and GPUs, what do I mean, you need to editing on SSDs or in raid 0 with 4 hdd minimum in sequencial, 4K footages needs speed of read and writing.

When looking at my color settings on the Pro 2, I only have 3 choices. Why don't I have more choices as I see in your video? I realize this clip is a few years old.

I changed some settings on my mavick 2 zoom.and now when I push the yaw stick to the left or right and let go it does not stop just keeps going for a little bit then stops. When I received it in the mail and all the settings were set to defalt it stoped. can you help me out.

I'd like to know more about the gear setting's if you don't mind .. I am some what new to all this and really like your video's they help me a lot and you dont go real fast like most video's on you tube . I am studding for my Part 107 with the Pilot institute . I am going to start out with real estate as soon as I get my 107.Do you have any video's or are you going to do one on How to start your Drone areal company ?? I'v got a pretty good idea but would like to pick your braib on How you started and how you do it now or do you just do you tube Video''''s ?? I am going to build my you tube channel as well just not sure where I am going to focus on filming ?? Maybe just my video's of maybe just cool old building's IDK just yet there is so many video's like what you do but I wont it to be funny I guess..I have a friend the fly's fixed wing plane's we are talking about doing something together but post it on are own channels idk what do you think ?? I will always plug your page because it has really helped me the most.... Welzcargollc81@gmail.com The name of my company will be (OUTLAW Drone's areal photography) and inspections and EVENTS .All so I'd like to do inspections along with Big construction faze photo's ..My you tube channel is (Slingshot circus 81 ) The few video's that are posted on there suck but I was watching a you tube video that said post all your video's even the new rookie video's that suck .What do you think about that ?? will you like and subscript to my channel ???lol Thanks,Welz Oliver AKA Slingshot P.S what would you charge to film event's ??$200 or $400hrr or like by the day like $400 or $500 ..I 'll just do fun raisers for free and or a % of what they raise that Day ?? P.S I have a Mavic Pro and hope to get an Mavic 2 when the 3 come's out HOPING the price will come down on line used ..Because I think having more than one drone is a must to have a drone photography company don"t you think ??

What sd card would you suggest. For the mavic pro alpine. Thank you.

What are the best settings to record at Night? Greetings from Costa Rica, ur videos are great!

could you please teach me more about the gear settings

Great videos! Do you have any tips on focusing the camera? It seems to be always set to near and I keep forgetting to reset. Personally I think a default of "infinity" would be better.
