Let's go
Do you want to know which gimbal settings to use in your Mavic
in order to have smooth camera movements, in this video I will tell you the top five
camera and sensitivity settings that you will need to change in order to have
that famous cinematic look!
last week I talked about which are in my opinion the best camera settings to use
on your Mavic Pro, and if you didn't see that video I strongly recommend to watch
that first and here it is the Link! if you did see that video instead I'd love to know if you
used those camera settings and if they work for you
so please leave me a comment below and let me know. Next Thursday instead I will
have a video about how I color correct and grade my drone footage in post, so if
you are interested subscribe and don't forget to turn on the bell! but for now
let's focus on how to adjust the sensitivity of our Mavic and how to
smooth the Gimbal movements, let's get started right away!
so I will try to keep this very simple and easy to follow even for someone that
got his Mavic Pro just today, so on top of the screen click on the propeller symbol
and it will bring you to the main controller settings scroll down and go
to the Advanced Settings select exp so the EXP menu has a three controls the
throttle up, the rudder right and the forward right, originally they are all set at
0.25 but I actually leave alone the throttle up and I change the rudder
right and the forward right to 0.20 in order to smooth the sensitivity of those
two controls, now let's go back and select sensitivity here we have three
different options attitude, brake and yaw movement limit the attitude
controls how the drone will react your inputs and I set these a 50 the brake
instead controls the drone reactivities to lack of inputs
and mine as you can see is set at 130 lastly the yaw movement limit controls
the reactivity to panning movements and I set it at 50 which is the minimum I
don't really touch the gain settings instead! and we are finally into the
gimbal settings so slide the gimbal, advanced settings and you will see that the first
of these settings is the gimbal pitch speed we want to make sure for a very
slow up and down tilt the footage will never look very cinematic if we keep a
fast pitch speed mine is super slow I have it at 10, the second settings
enables the gimbal to tilt up of 30 degrees and I had this off for the first
months as you can see the propellers in the upper corners of your images but
since I like to use a letterbox, that is taking care of the problem so the
possibility is to have your drone to look up and not only down I think is
very cool, so now I have it ON! The gimbal pitch smoothness controls the gimbal
roll off, I set these to 15 to avoid sudden stops when pitching that will not look very
cinematic. the very last setting is enabled synchronised gimbal pan follow I
keep this on as I think that it helps to get more fluid gimbal movements
of course all these settings, like last week camera settings, are they ones that work
for me, so use these settings as a reference play with them change things
around but mainly practice as much as you can, in the end you will find your
own best settings as I said next week I will show you how I color correct and
gray my drone footage, it's a quick and very simple workflow that will help you
to give your images that cinematic look we are all searching for. so if you like
