Mavic 3 Secrets that DJI didn't tell you. Today I'm going to give you three secrets about the mavic 3.
we're going to skip the intro and jump right into it secret number one this bag that comes
with the combo is much more than a drone bag in fact you open it up and it turns into a backpack
this is really two bags in one a drone bag and a camera bag so this is the reason why i definitely
get the combo because this drone camera bag is so much better than bags dji made in the past
and now i'm prepared whether i want to just fly my drone or i have a bigger production so just
fold it up as a drone bag i put five batteries nd filters all my propellers and my smart controller
and my ipad and my normal controller if i want that too and then on bigger shoots i could put my
camera my microphone and all my extra gear that i need so i'm prepared no matter what the situation
is so if you get the combo i think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how great this bag is
secret number two is the zoom feature which is both great and not so good so let me explain
why now the zoom feature you can use a smart controller or the normal controller but the
thing about it is if you zoom in all the way to 28 times you're not gonna like it so anything
past seven times zoom is not usable in my opinion as a professional or whether you really value the
quality of your image so for that reason i would only zoom up to seven times not 28 times to zoom
in with the mavic 3 you're gonna have to go in the app you gotta tap on the binoculars icon
which is explore mode and at the time of this recording you can only use it in auto
but imagine in the future you can use the pro mode which is manual mode as well so once you
tap on the binoculars in this explore mode there's many different ways to zoom in the simplest way
is just to tap on that 1x and keep tapping on it and then it will turn into 1x 2x 4x 7x 14x and
28x so you can zoom all the way from 1x to 28x at different increments however the 1x the 2x and the
4x are with the four thirds sensor on the bottom so you're going to get much better image quality
with 1x 2x and 4x so that's what i use now if you go to 7x 14x and 28x you're going to use the top
camera and that's not going to be quite as good so what i recommend is you only go to 7x maximum
and even after you go to 4x it kind of jumps when you zoom in now you could also tap on the screen
and just use your finger up and down to zoom in and out but i wouldn't recommend that you could
also pinch it like a smartphone with your fingers to zoom in and out but i wouldn't recommend that
way to zoom either the best way to zoom in and the way i do it is to use the control dial so on the
smart controller i use the dial on the right side and just zoom in and zoom out like that and with
the normal controller it's on the left side with your left finger press the fn button with your
thumb while simultaneously rotating the dial with your left finger you can zoom in and zoom out and
it's much smoother and you can also get that dolly zoom effect so the dolly zoom effect i use from
1x to 4x with the bigger micro four thirds camera and that's what i recommend you do so in order to
get that effect you want to fly your drone toward the object and you want to start zooming out from
4x to 1x or you want to start at 1x start zooming in as you fly your drone away so when you fly your
drone away and zoom in you're going to get this effect and then when you fly your drone towards
something and you zoom out you're gonna get this effect and that effect is called dolly zoom now
if you go beyond 4x it's gonna jump and you get that weird jump in the screen because it's going
to a different camera and then it's also going to a different focal length so it's not smooth across
all the different focal lengths which i was a little disappointed but i would recommend
just keep it 1x to 4x and you'll get the optimal video quality so secret number three
is dji color display assist so secret number three is when you shoot and d log you can use something
called color display assist and instead of seeing a flat image that's kind of dull and you can't see
any of the colors it adds a color grade onto it so you can show this to clients or you could just
use it yourself to have a better idea of what the exposure and final colors would look like
after post-production and color grading so just so you know the dji is color display
assist which was first available with the air 2s and now with the mavic 3 they're adding it as well
it's not very publicized so that's why it's a hidden secret so to use dji's color display
assist in the dji fly app you're going to tap on the three dots in the upper right hand corner
then you're going to select camera under the color tab you want to choose d log and then right below
that you'll see color display assist now keep in mind dji is still adding new features and firmware
updates to the mavic 3 so if you don't see dji assist just yet it's coming very soon what i
recommend doing is you uninstall and delete the dji fly app and then reinstall the dji fly app
on your device so you have the latest version and then you'll see color display assist there
and if you don't see it just yet like i said hang tight it's coming very soon now if you want great
cinematic luts for your mavic 3 consider getting my dji drone pro course in that course i give you
a ton of cinematic luts for all dji drones and i also show you my entire color grading workflow
