This class shows you how to properly use your DJI Mavic, DJI Mavic Air, DJI Mavic Pro, or DJI Mini series 1 or 2 aerial camera to capture breathtaking photos and cinematic video. Not only will you learn the best settings for the drone, but we will dive deep into dynamic film theory to equip you with the skills you need to be a better aerial content creator to impress everyone on traditional or social media.

This class can help every aspiring drone pilot learn to fly their unmanned aircraft, regardless of brand or model. While this class utilizes the DJI Mini 2, the hardware and software are almost identical to the DJI Mavic Mini, DJI Mavic, DJI Mavic 2, DJI Mavic 2 Zoom, DJI Mavic Pro, DJI Mavic 2 Pro, DJI Mavic Air, and the DJI Mavic Air 2.

Every technique and principal is universal and can also be used on the DJI Phantom series, DJI Inspire series, or any other brand of drone (Tomzom, Ruko, Snaptain, Holy Stone, Potensic, Dragon Touch, etc.)

First, we'll learn the drone hardware and software

We'll start by examining the body of the DJI Mini 2 (an update from the DJI Mavic Mini) and the Remote Controller (same one used on the Mavic Air series), going over every single button.
From there we will learn how to fly using the DJI FLY app's mobile touchscreen interface and pertinent menu settings.
We'll learn how to properly expose your image, adjust its color temperature, set the resolution to 4K and the framerate to 30 per videography standards.

Then, we'll cover aerial photography and cinematography technique:

We will do a deep dive into various drone shots and aerial angles and analye what makes a shot truly cinematic. Bird's Eye View, Circling, Liftoff, Dronie, Rocket, Epic Grow and Reverse. I've even included a list of 34 different drone shots for you to learn.
We'll learn how to master DJI's preprogrammed QuickShots. We'll ease any concerns you have about drone flying.
Then we'll discuss filming on location versus having footage focused on a single subject.
We'll even learn how to make the most of your stationary aerial tripod shots with tilts and pans.

Finally, we'll discuss the post-process to make the most out of your aerial content:

We will learn how to color correct and export your drone footage so that it is seen in the highest possible quality. I've included a free custom DJI Mini 2 LUT to make the process even easier. You'll become a professional drone pilot in no time.

Time to take your aerial cinematography to the next level!
