The orbit shot is one of my favorite ways to show off a subject, but they're not always the easiest to capture. Especially if you're trying to add some additional movement to your orbit. But with some experimenting I have found a way to create epic orbits using only simple inputs combine with a few features available on the Mini 4 Pro and other DJI drones. If this is something that interests you, then I highly recommend you check out this video!

What a decently thorough video - great job dude - you went a lot deeper into all the available options than most do...

Thanks Mark for all the work going into this! Sometimes subtle adjustments make all the difference in the outcome of the shot. Excellent explanation of your process as well. It will save us a lot of time over trial and error.

Dang man, yet again you blew my mind here. There’s something about the way you explain things that make it simple for us simple folk. Lol. Very cool shots here. You got something special here with your channel. Keep it up, brother!

Thanks buddy! Part of it might be that fact that I'm just figuring this stuff out while making the videos, so I'm just explaining what I learnt along the way. Anyway thanks again for the comment I really appreciate it!

This is another excellent video for achieving professional orbit shots which would be impossible manually. Really I like your attention to detail (eg settings etc…). Would you consider producing a similar video using Spotlight orbits on a moving subject? Many thanks Mark 🙏

I too am just learning the mini 4 pro. I got it about a month or so ago so I have a lot to learn about the wee drone. I must say every time I fly it I get more confident in it's ability to do it's thing. Every time I fly out to the beach and fly up and down the beach a bit then fly home it's just incredible technology and should only get better 🏴‍☠️🚁

@CreateandKaptivate 4 ай бұрын

I'm often amazed myself, how capable the mini 4 pro is. There's a lot of technology packed into such a small drone.

This is a really cool tutorial. Thank you so much for this. I’m headed to Ecuador in two weeks and I have a couple places in mind where I’m going to try these shots out.

Hi Mark, just a note you would add in one of your next course. If we try to create a Vertigo effect with 2 or more waypoints (zoom in, zoom out or vice-versa.) With 4K 60FPS : impossible to be done. Even if your waypoints settings clearly shows a zoom in of 2 or 3 in the last waypoints. When you switch to 48 FPS, you’ll have zoom 2X, and with 30 FPS you’ll be able to get 3X

@CreateandKaptivate 5 ай бұрын

That's interesting, I didn't realize the FPS affected the max zoom. I know the resolution did, but I'll have to check that out, thanks!

@ericcote8146 5 ай бұрын

As long as you were shooting at 30FPS, all features are there. I have other limititationn found lately@@CreateandKaptivate

@ericcote8146 5 ай бұрын

@@CreateandKaptivate Correction, after extra test. at 30, 48, 50 FPS you can use the zoom, 2X, 3X when recording waypoints. At 60 FPS, it's a no go. Although what I find an intrigue is, when you fly-by at 60 FPS, you can zoom-in up to 3X. Now the other issue is at 50 FPS, you can go down to 1/50th a sec in recording mode, at 60 FPS, no less than 1/60 sec. I believe these limitation are done in the programming by DJI

did you use spotlight for the elliptical orbit buddy? i always try do spotlight to keep the camera locked on unless it's a reveling shot like you say, but i find it can cause issues in full orbits if you select an area and it ends up behind the building and then the camera goes way off center trying to stay perfect to the original area at the front you selected. i did find if i selected a much bigger area to track it doesnt do it as bad.

@CreateandKaptivate 5 ай бұрын

Yes, I was using spotlight for all of the examples except the first one. I was having trouble getting a nice orbit at first, but once I was able to get the location marker near the center, it would stay locked on that orbit.

another thing you could try are waypoints.

Yeah that certainly would work, I actually did something similar in my waypoints video.

Why don’t you fly this using the Cine Mode?

@CreateandKaptivate 7 күн бұрын

I may have been able to use cine mode for some of these shots, but for some it would have limited my lateral speed too much. Most of the time I just use Normal mode and adjust the gain and expo settings. That way I can just limit the controls I want, which is usually the max rotation and gimbal tilt.
