Ahoj. This is Zdenka. They took away the snow from me but it's coming back.
Another snow storm should be happening tomorrow.
Well, don't let that fool you though because it's still winter ...minus seven
today. So I'm on the beach, the warmest spot and I have my favorite tools here.
DJI Osmo mobile 3 gimbal and Android Samsung Galaxy S10 plus and few filters
in my backpack. In today's episode we're gonna be filming B roll in DJI Mimo.
We're gonna look at the newly added feature the spin shot. I'm gonna show you
how you can do spin shot transition and I'm also gonna show you how you can
switch between the modes so you don't have to tap on the screen anymore but you
can do that through your gimbal. That's all we gonna be doing today. By the way,
this video is filmed at 30 frames per second. Cannon M50 is right now
filming at 30 frames per second because the video I'm gonna be showing you is
done in DJI Mimo and it films at 30 frames per second so I wanted to make it the whole
thing as one. So no more 24, it's 30 frames per second just in case you see a
little bit different result.
And if you are new here, welcome. My name is Zdenka Darula. If you want to learn how to

right now so I'm gonna be doing a lot of overall shots. So I'm gonna be doing a lot
of close-up shots just like I would be visiting some vacation spot or some
place and I want to film a B roll for myself so I can keep it as a memory.
That's my goal today. There is one thing which is bothering me on DJI Osmo mobile
3 gimbal and that's the fact that I simply can't press the buttons to switch
between tilt lock mode and follow mode. DJI Mimo app the default setting is set
so you have to tap on the screen or go to the menu to switch that, however there
is a way to do it so you can actually switch the modes by moving the joystick.
Let me show you how. So let's turn on the gimbal.
Let's go to DJI Mimo and now as we are in a DJ Mimo go to the settings. So
tap those three buttons on the left bottom corner, you will get to gimbal
settings and you will see press M button. Right now press M button is set
to switch photo recording. Press that and change it to Quick Menu. Close the
settings. Now when we press the end button we will pull out another menu
where we see video, photo and stuff like that. So when you are in a video mode by
joystick moving it to the right you can switch between photo mode, tilt lock mode,
fpv, spin shot. I'm gonna go back to follow mode and move the joystick left
and now when I press the M button again the menu is gone. So I'm ready to film. To
do the first overall shots of this place but there are a few things I need to do.
First of all I want to make sure that my white balance is set not to auto but to
sunny because I don't want, I don't want the colors to shift on me. To change them
I go to settings and I change it from auto to sunny. The next thing I want to
do is lock the brightness. Tap anywhere on the screen until you see the yellow
square with the Sun and once you like the brightness just tap hold it until you
see little lock and that'll lock the brightness and now I'm just ready to
film. First shot I'm going to do is just walk that way and again it's tilt lock
mode because I don't want it to go up and down. I want to maintain the
composition but I don't mind going the pan a little bit left and right.
The next shot I want to pan from left to the right. Whenever you are filming a
B roll, it is the best if you choose one way to pan so your video is not panning to
the right and then planning to the left and planning to the right and to the
left and up and down. It will be all over the place. So I am going to be always
panning in this b-roll from left to the right, then I might do a little bit to
the front, to the back and then close-up shots but that's about it. I just want
to make sure it's nice and smooth.
So the overall shots are done. I want to do some close-up shots here and I found
a little bit of ice on the beach there but I don't want all the reflection in the
shot so I'm using a Cpl filter to block it. By the way all the products I'm
talking about are gonna be listed in the video description below so you can check
it after this video. So in this one I'm gonna press the M button switch it to
the follow mode.
Those wave shots over there, I wish I could do that in slow motion but because
I'm Android user, I'm quite limited in DJI Mimo. I can't shoot there in slow
motion, I would have to use regular camera app or filmic Pro. By the way
filmic pro tutorial is coming out very soon and I'm working on it ...next week I
think. Well, now I have some overall shots finished, I also have some close-up shots
of waves finished. I don't need the CPL filter right now so it's just kind of in
my pocket. I took it off but I had to rebalance the gimbal. Every time you add
on some filters or take it off, you have to always rebalance the gimbal. My next
planned shot is to go around this tree revealing the space over there.
For that I'm gonna press the M button and go to follow mode. Hide again but I'm
actually not gonna be shooting in follow mode. What I'm gonna do, I'm gonna aim at
that place, press the trigger. As I'm holding it, it'll lock it again but it's
not gonna move. It's gonna be locked, fixed on that location and I'm gonna
hide behind a tree and again as I'm holding it, I will reveal that place, it
will just look very nice.
As this tree was quite big,I might actually use it as one of the
transitions because I was kind of hiding behind the tree. I don't know yet. But I
still want to do the same effect, the circling around the object so I'm gonna
head down and as you are noticing I'm always kind of going with the Sun so I
don't film against the Sun. Right now I just want to make sure the video looks
kind of the same way, very lit up and very colorful. So I'm shooting in the same
direction, I'm just continuing and just moving on the beach, along the beach. So
right now I'm gonna try to find a little bit thinner trees or maybe bush or
something like that or small object so I can circle around it to reveal the spot.
Oh if I had a anamorphic lens here today that would look nice in a Sun. And
I think it's time to play with the spin shot. Now spin shot is 360 degrees so
what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna press the M button to get to the spin shot. Spin shot
means that this gimbal will turn 360 degrees like this but as we are right
now in the starting position, it's not actually the start of the spin shot. I
have to move the joystick to the right to get it to this position, so I'm gonna
start on the tree ...the spin... but I'm gonna move the gimbal this way so I am exactly
with the horizon and then when I'm ready to start I'm gonna press the joystick
the other way and start backing up.
This shot I want to film heavily against the Sun so I have my Cpl filter out and
I'm gonna be blocking the reflection as much as possible ...sorry my hands are
freezing...and I'm gonna start probably going
straight to the Sun. Obviously I'm gonna lock the brightness on quite dark and I'm
gonna go down to the ground.
So now that we have all the pieces of the puzzle together, let's play the B roll.
Link to Cpl filter I was using and also music I was using, it is Epidemic
sound the first month is free, you can find in the video description below.
