welcome to the third episode of DJI film
school while the pilot is flying the
drone the gimbal operator takes care of
the camera movement and camera control
let me show you how to set up and
operate the gimbal on the inspire 2
establishing the right settings is
essential and each gimbal operator
prefers a different setup it is crucial
to optimize your keyboard settings to
ensure a smooth workflow you need to be
able to work intuitively with your
remote control setup your personal
preferences and keep practicing the
movements will feel more natural each
time as they are transferred to your
muscle memory

when it comes to the gimel stick
configuration some people like to have
the gimbal pan and tilt on the same
individual stick
others prefer to separate the pan and
tilt onto two different sticks this can
be helpful to control the axis
independently which often results in a
smoother image
make sure to map the gimbal role on one
stick so you can correct the horizon as
well as needed one of the most important
things when operating the drone camera
gimbal is finding the right gimbal speed
settings the inspire tube gives you a
couple of options to configure the
gimbal characteristics to your needs you
can configure gimbal speed gimbal
smoothness and gimbal ex-post separately
for the pan and pitch axis configuring
the gimbal for fast action sports often
requires a different set up compared to
shooting a landscape scene focusing it
is crucial that the gimbal reacts fast
enough to keep the cars in the frame on
the other hand we don't want the speed
of the gimbal to be too fast otherwise
we would have to continually correct the
framing to keep the subject and framed
the shot would be ruined there was an
abrupt camera movement by the gimbal of
bread sometimes we also have to adjust
your gimbal settings depending on your
location to find the optimal balance
between the speed and precision
try to start with well you somewhere in
the middle of the range and check if
your settings are too fast or too slow
some shots would choir more pan and tilt
work than others
the smoothing feature is critical and
helps create fluid movements and hide
subtle Corrections
you want to obtain a smooth movement and
not stop the image too abruptly but you
also want to have the ability to change
the direction fast enough in a nutshell
set this moving as low as possible and
as high as necessary
to ensure the camera never hits the
physical limit of the pan access enabled
quick spin as an option there's nothing
worse than almost finalizing a shot and
the camera hits the end of its spin and
ruins the shot assign the gimbal reset
the feature to one of the buttons on the
back of the remote controller during the
flight the gimbal operator can reset the
camera very quickly regardless of the
gimbal settings this helps when there is
limited time between shots we usually
use a fixed focus in all WRC events
since focus putting on such a fast
action would be very hard we always set
ISO aperture and shutter speed manually
to have full control over the picture
the shutter speed should be double the
frame rate to maintain a good balance
between excessive and insufficient
motion blur use nd filters for bright
conditions to bring down the shutter
speed using these you'll have full
control over your camera aperture
the use of the slow-motion feature is
nice when shooting a rally because it
highlights all the dirt and dust flying
around just use a higher framerate
so now you know how to set up your
camera and gimbal to create some cool
shots and with the help of our excellent
support group we managed to wrap up
another rally if you have further
questions please leave a comment below
thanks for watching
