so you have a Mavic Pro and you want to know everything about it for sure you
want to know which are the best camera settings
well these video is for you, I'm going to tell you which are the camera settings
that I am using, I will explain you why in my opinion they are the most
cinematic settings in just a moment
the Mavic is a fantastic machine and I was super excited when I got this, of
course it is important to understand how to operate the camera and which settings
to use and this is what we're going to talk about today at the same time you
need to know that there is another component in order to get very cinematic
footage, which is the gimba!l the gimbal settings are also very important and I
will make a separate video about it so if you turn on the notification on my
channel and of course you subscribe to the channel you will know when that new
video is up but for now let's focus on the camera settings and actually let's
get right into it, So here we are on the Mavic controller and you can see the
display of my phone the first thing is that you want to make sure that you're
on video and the first settings is the ISO I use the manual and I try to use
the lowest ISO possible I use menu because I don't want my image to change
brightness or exposure while I am shooting so I try to plan my shot ahead
and keep the lowest ISO possible which on the Mavic is 100. On the Mavic you
cannot control the aperture of your camera but you can control the shutter
speed my recommendation is to set your shutter speed at twice the frame rate
you're using, following the 180 degrees shutter angle rule in order to have a
nice cinematic motion blur in your images. I am a 24 frames per second at
the moment so I will set my shutter speed at 50! of course when you are
outdoor it is very difficult to be able to use 1/50 of a second shutter speed
there is too much light for it so you need to use nd filters I personally use
the Polar Pro nd filters and I will put a link in the description if you are
interested to check them out I think this is one of the most important elements in
order to achieve cinematic images in your footage. So let's go through the
second menu first thing video size I use a 4k at 24 frames per second
most of the time 90% of the time sometimes I do set 30 frames per second
if I think I'm going to slow down the images in post by 20%, then video format
I prefer to use the MOV as I work on a Mac and I think the MOV is more suitable
in post-production. I live in the United States so I use the NTSC and I control
and set manually my white balance every time I heard the auto works fine on the
Mavic but I think it's easier to grade the images in post when you control the
white balance according to what kind of light you have. in here we are at the
style! the style is a controversial one you will see a lot of different videos
and tutorials that are suggesting different numbers I will tell you my
numbers and I will explain why I use them. I use -1 on sharpness
because I think that the image is straight out of the camera from the Mavic
are too sharp I use -1 on contrast in order to add a wider dynamic
range and I am satisfied with the saturation so I keep the saturation in
zero because it works fine for me. as far as they concern the color profile I use
the D- CInelike, I think it's a very easy profile to correct in post and also it
works very well with Cinelike D color profile on my Panasonic G85.
The very last menu will give you the possibility to decide what to see on
your screen and what not I try to keep my screen as clean as possible but I do
want to see my Histogram on it and this is it plan your shots ahead don't forget
to out-of-focus before you start shooting tap record and you're ready to go
so I hope you got good information about the camera settings of the Mavic next
time we will talk about the gimbal settings if you click on the like button
