DJI Mavic 3 Pro Setup and Settings for Cinematic Footage
Ғылым және технология
These are the best settings and setup I have found for the way I work with the DJI Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Pro. I walk you through the app and show you how I have setup photo and video modes as well as the custom buttons that can be programed. I also walk you through the advanced safety settings and how I have the RC pro setup to work with the Mavic 3 Pro. I also give you some tips on how to expose and shoot videos and photos for the best results.

Thanks Jake. This was very helpful! I've been away from DJI for 3-4 years and needed to get familiar again. In fact back then the Fly app had just come out, and I was disappointed about the features we lost from the Go4 app. It looks like Fly has come a long way. I feel much more familiar after viewing your vid a few times.

Thanks once again for taken the time out to show us your settings. Question ⁉️ Does the Mavic 3Pro Cine you are using still kill the sensors in Sports mode and if so can you manually put them on?
@JakeSloan
11 ай бұрын
the sensors will not operate in sport mode and there is no way to keep them on
I was especially interested to hear/see what Gain & Expo settings you use. This was great to see. What I hoped you'd mention was the fact that when in 7x, the Yaw and Tilt max speeds for example are dumbed right down for good reason, but I find no way of adjusting these max speeds while in 7x. Am I missing something? One thing that just came to mind (which I haven't checked out yet) was whether or not the Gain & Expo settings page is dependant on which camera lense you currently have selected, but I'm guessing it doesn't.
@JakeSloan

@@JakeSloan yes, I would be upgrading from magic 2 pro and I have the smart controller. However, I couldn't imagine spending $1100 on a controller if I didn't have to. I do go behind lots of trees and plenty of buildings, but as long as the regular RC controller can hold up then I'm good.
Hi Jake I just watched your video and it was really helpful…. I also have a dji mavic 3 pro I was wondering if you could help with a questions I normally burn my videos shot while recording whales specially when they breaching so could u please tell me what iso,aperture, shutter would you use ?!
@JakeSloan
11 ай бұрын
I would set aperture at f8 or f9 and keep ISO as low as possible. shutter speed should be 2 times your video frame rate but for photos on that kind of subject material I would put my shutter speed to 1/250 or 1/320
Good coverage Jake. I particularly like that Camera settings, with multiple auto/manual toggles give us not just Shutter Priority and Aperture Priority but ISO Priority and any combination in between. Further, Auto ISO uses increments of 10, so instead of 100/200/400/800/1600 - you can have, for example ISO values of 810, 980,1550. That granular ability plus utilizing the multimeter, 3 cameras with really decent Split filters in the Fly More now.. All of which makes everyone a potential master cinema artist, or hopelessly lost. I fall somewhere in the middle. Depending on the day, lol.

active track does work with the 1x camera just not in 5.1k resolution or if you have the cine version it won't work when you are recording in prores. The 1x camera can active track in 4k 60fps or lower

Just a point about the obstacle avoidance icons (in the Fly App screen). I don't know if the M3 Pro has this issue, but the M3 did (and possibly still does). As low light conditions begin to set in, a very brief alert appears in the Fly App advising that obstacle avoidance is no longer available (insufficient ambient light). This is so brief that you have to be looking at the screen when it appears. Otherwise, you have to notice the obstacle avoidance icons have changed to red. I don't know why an audible alert sound couldn't have been included.

Hi Jake, thanks for the tutorial. Just want to ask what the difference is between the option of 3x 70mm lens 12mp or 48mp. Someone said 12mp has a larger range of dynamic range than 48mp, but I did not see any test of it.
