Following on from my review of the DJI Air 2 S, which you can watch at the link below, I needed to see if there was a way I could modify the controller and joysticks to give me some sort of tripod mode as it has been replaced with the much faster tripod mode. In this video, I show you what I did to do this and also how I made my own diffusion filters for this and the Mavic Air 2 using simple household things.

Pausing the video just after that long beautiful shot through the tape measure. Genius. It has always pained me how that other channels have millions of subscribers for recycling the same content month in and month out. I have to sit down with no distractions as I love watching your crafted, planned to the tiniest detail, beautifully shot films. Being honest and genuine is another reason why you are on a different level. Thank you!

This popped up in my timeline just as I was about to write to DJI to beg them to slow down the A2s! I was literally reaching to open another tab on my browser. Nice work, Mr. Bloom. Okay, now, DJI! STOP THIS MADNESS! WE NEED THE FIRMWARE UPDATE TO THIS OTHERWISE WONDERFUL DRONE!!!!!

the fact that you went through all this to achieve this mode, DJI should just put it back off pure principal alone
I had no idea tripod mode was gone! Thank god Philip is here to save the day.
Something about hearing Mozart’s requiems on your videos warms my heart!!
Good sir your videos are the only ones in all the KZread world that need complete end credits and copyright info, each one is a complete masterpiece, we applaud your level of detail. Thanks for the content!!!!
I have dual monitors, I usually play game on one while passively watching youtube videos on the other, to help pass the matchmaking and loading times. But for you philip bloom, I tun off my game, and bring your video to my main color calibrated monitor and watch at full res with full attention. They are that informative. I enjoy them.
Have to say I was giggling to myself all the way through this video, such great lines in your dialogue lol...and the shot, drawing backwards over the master craftsman's table trying to find that workaround solution is hilarious. First class as ever! Thank you for such great videos.
Hi Philip, this is the first of your videos I have seen and I am blown away by your production quality. Not only is the content of the video intriguing, but your camerawork (both with the drone and a handheld), editing, sound design, and voice all add perfectly to create a wonderful experience. It looks like I have a lot of quality content to catch up on, keep up the phenomenal work!
There are people who talk the talk and those who really put the work in. I've watched Phil Bloom's work on and off for years. Frankly, anything he does is likely to be worth watching. Good humoured and intelligent with honest, generous, real world applications to people out there trying to walk the walk; amateurs or professionals. I salute you sir.

Simply outstanding. Storytelling, music, great looking video, your narration. The subjects you cover. A pleasure to watch.
Philip Bloom, you are special, and inspire me to be the best I can be, at getting images that are very well taken. I do no video, nor work with drones, but your penchant for excellence in a craft, is infectious. When we see your footage, I'm sure we all want to get better at capturing good imagery, even if its still an unpaid hobby.
Another fantastic review with superb storytelling, presenting, tips and ticks, music and cinematography. I loved the DIY hack - such a great idea! You always continue to inspire me 🙂 Thank you 🙏
Each time I watch new video from Philip I'm so absorbed that I lost track of time...Amazing how skilfull you are Philip!
You are an absolute legend! The quality and deapth of your videos is unmatched! Also, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT FOOTAGE IS FROM A DRONE!
Philip is pure craftsmanship.. full circle❤️
Absolutely brilliant! One of the most creatively shot videos I've seen in a long time. Love your style. Thank you
This video is pure art. I watched it because I own a Mini 2 and wanted to know if there's anything useful for it. Gotta say I was completely blown away, felt like a 2 hour movie!
Excellent R&D Work Phillip!! You are so right! Will try that too. The measure Shot was awesome
Awesome tripod style footage. Very inspiring. The music really emphasizes the serenity and beauty of the scenery. Genius design with the washers and o-rings - might need to hit you up for a pair!
I’ve only got a super old DJI Drone, but I loved this video. DIY projects are awesome, and as always, this was shot brilliantly with a bunch of info
Next level content! What I just watched was an absolute work of art. You've got yourself a sub and a raving fan looking forward to the next watch. Gonna be telling all my students about you! Thank you for your hard work and I look forward to getting to know you better.
Wow! Good job all the way around!! The shots, editing, attention to detail... Great production!
I literally stood up and applauded especially with that areal ending scene. He scripted (maybe), directed, shot, acted, and edited. A one man fabulous short film. Bravo. It must be sooo much fun making these, tedious as much.
Great job, as always. It's such a pleasure to watch your videos. Keep going!
Just made a KZread video about this very issue the other day! Glad to see other people are talking about it and trying to solve the problem! Very creative solution.
Great work !! Luv the video keep them coming lots to learn….👍
Great looking video, nice views from above with the drone. Keep up the flying, thank you for sharing and have a good day!
Just SO well presented Phil, watched this entire masterpiece, great work!
I do really think that every video is a kind of masterclass. Thank you very much for the job behind the scenes and for sharing to all of us.
Sir Phillip Bloom it is just a privilege following you and enjoying your videos.
That continous shot of all teh building and DIY madness was marvelous!!!
This is the first time on youtube that I've not just skipped the sponsor segment. That says something about your storytelling. I came here by accident looking at the Air 2S and then was so captivated I was 3/4 through before I realised I still had full screen mode to switch to! And... CATS!!!!
Absolutely love your drone videos man inspire me to definitely level up on my own footage and I always seem to learn something from everyone in your videos much appreciated
This video in itself is a work of art, not to mention what will come from your mod
Just piling on others, really fantastic vid, mate! Beautious scenery and shots and advice, well worth watching.
Great vid as always! Thanks for doing these. I always enjoy them.
As usual another great video, thanks for the diy tip!
Oh my gosh. I’ve never seen drone footage looks so much like Hollywood camera movements. That’s amazing! The walking/talking portion was incredible too. Don’t know how you did that so well haha.
So well done! Love the storytelling and the info here!
Philip, this was so well made!! I loved watching the entire thing. Your voice is perfect for narrating a show/movie. I hope that happens one day (if you’d want that)!

What a great video. I’m very mad that KZread hasn’t recommended your channel to me before! Clearly they prioritize loud noises and hype over hard work and quality
Loved that 'dab' of Vaseline! HA! Well done! Recently purchased the Air 2S & amazed at some of the things it can do already. But it is good to hear what veterans of the prior models liked in those & what is missing in this little gem. DJI really ought to listen.
Brilliant! How you make an already amazing drone even better. Kudos!
Very entertaining. Great job Philip. Really like the way you did the problem solving. I would have just gone on some forums looking for cracked firmwares for the drones. Which I probably wouldn't find cuz the drone is fairly new.
This is the BEST drone video I've watched!! I CAN NOT WAIT to watch more!!

Fantastic video, so much effort gone into making it. Loved the pull back up the tape measure. What is that backpack looks super useful for all your kit. All my gear gets put in a sock any just dropped in a standard backpack
Just found your channel and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Keep up the great work
What a legend. Love your diy filter I’ll give it a try.
Well Done once again! Felt like I watched episode 2. Looking forward to the Mavic Pro 3, for now I’m staying with the MA2.
The structure of this piece is awesome Phillip!👏👏👏👏
Great music and creative storytelling!! Many thanks for this !!

Wow! What a beautiful production and forward thinking!
What a nice Video. I think I have to try to make those filters myself, they looked really good in my opinion, and way more cinematic not so video like. Ps. I always enjoy your music selection. Really nice and calming. 👌🏽

Really shows the amount of thoughts that go into making the videos. That mechanics for the joystick control is a slick idea! On a separate note, does this open up demands for some form of variable filters on drones?
Yes! Been waiting for this one!
Yet another wonderfully crafted video 👏🙂
Your work is brilliant. It is simultaneously inspiring and then makes me wonder why bother when some one as good as you is out there !!😂
Love your work - pushing ever forward I film with moneyshot mini with my sony A1 or A7s3 - no limits really Philip to the Holy Grail :) keep up your great work, your work always inspires me
Only channel I don’t watch in 1.75x speed. Gotta savor the edit.
Brilliant video, so very professional, let's all hope filters do come out, and also with ND options. Would be funny though if after all this effort to make this video, DJI did release a firmware update just before you hit export. Sorry just my sick mind :) well done, great vid.
And your music choice is so nice!
What a masterpiece of a video! Well done Sir! KZread recommendation finally gave me something quality content 😊

Fantastic video, lets hope DJI see it and respond positively to it. Otherwise your fix seemed to work beautifully. Love the creativity.
As always you create the more entertaining yet educational videos. It doesn’t matter the length of your videos is always worth watching them! Time well spent on KZread. Thank you very much!
I truly love how your mind works
Thanks for making this video for us!
Absolutely fantastic. Bravo Phillip.
Your videos are the best! I recommended your Air 2S review in my Air 2S almost unboxing video. (Basically me just waffling boringly on a decision, haha) I did end up keeping it, BTW. One day I aspire to create well edited videos like yours. Very nice. I also loved the tape-measure shot in this one. On a side-note: I feel like you should just be able to call DJI up and go "I'm Philip Bloom, and here's what I want you to do in a firmware update". I'd be surprised if they didn't listen.

You figured out a solution to a problem, great job. Subscribing
Dear dear, the Cat King has failed to fail. This solution exceeds specification, and looks good doing it. Such answers can not be said to be proper DIY hacks. Perhaps one might even say this is in fact a real solution to the problem. a real hack over promises and under delivers. Well made Phillip, far too well made.

Thank you but nothing can ever be far too well made. Either give it your all or don’t bother. 🙂
Great thinking outside the box! Cine mode had caught me out coming from the Phantom 4 pro - expecting nice and slow and then i nearly reversed my air 2s into a building at pace. I try and mix out stiick sensitivity with expo to give some leeway around the central stick positions to take jerkiness out but there isnt enough in the app . You did really well mixing the drone audio out of your piece to the flying camera at the end. I bet there were some good outtakes on that shot. I just could not hear any buzz.

Amazing work Sir! Great storytelling as well. I learned a lot. It is amazing that DJI has not figured this out already. We need the Tripod mode (Dumb Name) back. And by the way, they should call it "Dolly Mode" it would make more sense.
Awesome video, very entertaining and interesting 👌
What a great storyteller (and drone operator) you are. The obvious best answer here would be for DJI to give us a firmware update to adjust the cinema speed. If they're reading, it would be fantastic to adjust the obstacle avoidance tolerance as well. It's either off or _way too_ on.
I just upgraded from a spark to mavic air 2, and it is amazing. The difference is stunning.
