I was referring to other users bud. I understand perfectly but enjoy your videos. I like the no BS approach and testing etc. And you can never have enough knowledge or alternatives to sometimes my own stubbornness 😅😅
Such a great video. First time I’ve found your channel and am so happy! I don’t know much about you but truly hope you are a teacher! Great job and thank you!
Hi Ian, just got my DJI Mini 3 Pro, and your video saved me a lot of trail and errors, well done saying all that without stopping for a glass of water :) :) Thank you for your video all the way from Springwood ,NSW Australia :)
Hi Ian, I just got my mini 3 and am having a blast! You videos have, and continue to be, a great source of inspiration and information. I am soooo grateful! If you are ever in Cleveland, OH, dinner’s on me!
Hi Ian, Just an amazing easy to understand tutorial. I am brand new to drones and in the early days of discovering all the features of the mini 3. This tutorial takes me back many years to my darkroom and roll film days. I guess I am going to have millions of questions along the way but will take each of your tutorials step by step and with your help discover and enjoy this new journey for me. Thanks again.
This is a great tutorial, thanks! One thing to note around shutter speed is that there is technically a 'correct' value to aim for - this is not an arbitrary decision. For the most realistic motion blur in an image, the denominator in your shutter speed should be double the frame rate. So for 60fps, your shutter speed should be 1/120. In order to achieve this without overexposing your image, you'll likely need to use ND filters.
by far the best explanation of the settings menu I've seen anywhere, of where to find it, how to get to it and just a wee bit about what it all means. Thanks
Came here to try and understand what the default settings should be for this, as when I flew yesterday everything was bright white I could barely fly. Eventually discovered the sliders to change ISO and shutter and guessed some values that made it look better (know nothing about photography). Now I've realised I must have accidentally put PRO mode on, will switch back to auto next time but definitely need to try and learn more about these settings, this video has been a great insight - thanks!
Chris from Worcestershire. As usual your videos are the best and most easy to understand an RUclips I've gone from mini 1 to mini 3 ,I'm 100 % complete novice with photography and technical equipment so the help I need is simple and straightforward and not to much at once you have it spot on for a nice ,thank you and please keep up these great help videos Regards chris.
Thanks a lot Ian, just had the Mini 3 Pro as a Christmas gift which is amazing and so far I'm very happy about it. Your video is filling many little gaps here and there as I come from a Mavic 2 Pro menu :)
@Ian in London ahaha exactly Ian. It's so light in your hands it feels like "omg I'm gonna break this thing". Then you put it up in the air and the image quality is as great as the Mavic 2 which was very surprising. Also, I tested it up on Malvern Hills in strong wind conditions and it could handle it pretty darn well which is another unexpected superpower. When the drone is on and sitting for too long, it overheats and shut down after only few mins and it's annoying, especially when you are setting it up for the first time or transferring files. How did you manage to keep yours cool while recording this video?
Thanks as usual for your informative drone videos!!! Would love to buy you a coffee (or other!) in person some time!! In meanwhile, keep on keeping on!! Murray in Florida
Some settings you missed out..how to turn OFF the default display of tutorial video clips when selection the Intelligent Flight Modes. How many shots have I missed because of time wasted turning these off, one at a time? I don't want them to display, full stop. Any advice about this would be appreciated.
My personal choice is I like your personal choice 🤣, can't believe you had to explain the correct pronunciation of ISO!! Great video as always. Have a good weekend 👍
My last time I had a photographer teacher trying to correct me, telling me it was important to get it right for students and newcomers.... And he was a teacher 🤣
Hi Ian, great tutorial, quick, informative and straight to the point. Just what I needed to get my mini 3 pro set up correctly. Many thanks. 👍 Great work!
Many thanks Ian, new purchase today and your video is a great step in getting started, couldn't readily find the video frame rate settings. Thanks from South Africa👍🏻
I so (you see what I did there) agree on how to pronounce ISO, so I got your back on that one. As a new owner (and also first drone ever) of a DJI Mini 3 Pro I thank you for this vlog. :-)
Hi Ian. For somebody who wants to tear my hair out over ISO etc I at last have some idea why my videos turn out like negatives. I have saved your video and will return to it when I reboot my hair and make some sense of it all. Thank you for making sense of it for a guy with his mouth still open in bewilderment.
Great video once again Ian. Thanks for posting. I went ahead and posted a link to this on the DJI Forum. Cheers, Bob (Still waiting for Best Buy to start shipping the DJI Mini 3 Pro). I ordered on launch day so hopefully I will be near the top of their queue.
Excellent explanation of camera & video settings. You managed to present the information in a concise and easily understood format. Great job!! Subscription added. Cheers.
I don’t have a mini or 2 or 3. New kid on the block. Still love watching all my favourite drone reviews like yours Have Mavic 2 pro but always get good info 👍👍✌️
Another very informative and useful video Ian. I really appreciate the work you put into your videos. Hard to believe you had to explain the correct pronunciation of ISO!! How is your leg healing? Keep up the great work.
Another brilliant informative video Ian. Thank you so much, DPD should be delivering my mini 3pro tomorrow ready for my upcoming holiday!!! I always name my bits and bob’s. This one will be called Maverick….I wonder why 😜.
Thanks a lot for all the info. You made it very clear and easy to understand although going outside with the drone in the air it will be trickier to remember. But there’s the fun 😊
Wow Ian thank you so much for that excellent Tutorial on the Camera setting very informative as always, as you said a lot of information so I have saved your URL to a text file so I can sit back and go through it over and over again till it sinks into my thick skull, regards TJK UK.
Thanks for this video, wished I'd spotted it sooner. After flying this fantastic little drone none of my footage would play on my laptop. It turns out the drones default video setting out of the box is for the h.265 codec which my older laptop doesn't support. It appears that you do have to select a quality and frame rate that gives the option to change to h.264 in the setting menu but once done it automatically shoots in that codec in all available qualities.
1. For smooth movements leave the EXP to 0.43...Or will react strange after you pass middle point. 2. Use H265, D-Cine....at least is 10bit, can save some DR from what is cut by the Limited RGB in drone. 3. Use -1 Noise and -1 Sharp. 4. Use 4:3 full sensor. You choose where to crop it. But is full sensor used. 5. All settings on Manual, pay attention to Histogram. 6. Use as much as you can over 48 FPS in order to exit that stupid so called HDR in-sensor...is ghosting a lot at low light...a lot. Simple as that. Cheers.
Just got mine the other day. Mainly interested in doing stills to begin with. I have it set in Auto mode and Auto Focus. When I push the shutter button halfway, the green square appears, which I assume means I am in focus.... Right next to it a small sun like 🌞 symbol appears. What exactly does that symbol represent? Unfortunately the manual leaves a bit to be desired... Thankfully, folks like you are sharing the knowledge, because I'd be totally overwhelmed by this drone....
Thanks Ian this is just what I needed on holiday with my lovely Mini 3 Pro and I can now play with the camera. Really appreciate the time and effort you go through to help the novices like my self. 👍👍
Great informative video as always after 52 hours with the Mini 2 I purchased the Mini 3 and just amazed with the results, I would not be able to do 50% of jobs if it was not for the Mini’s keeping the videos coming and thank you 🙏
Many thanks for your great vid, subscribed. My mini3pro choices (photo/video): underexpose -1/3 or -2/3 EV to avoid burned areas, manual WB for sure (but fine tuned in post prod), and to max out settings for better post prod: RAW 4:3 format 48mpix & D-cine like (LOG) 4K 30fps HDR (smoother side travelling & no HDR when 60fps). Easier with the ND filters for both photo/video modes, considering the fixed f1.7 aperture, when bright sunny day (but also during the marvellous golden hour just after sunrise or before sunset, to reach -1/3 EV).
The square box with the sun icon on the touch screen to change exposure .... Not clear what it's there and I find myself sliding it around not knowing for sure if the exposure is right or not. Is there just an auto exposure so when I touch the screen I don't keep getting this? Thanks
Hi Ian. I went to have a look at Mini 3 and made a comparison to Air 2s. I have with me a Mini2. Which one should I invest to? Could you help me out in giving me the pros and cons. Would appreciate it greatly.
Can "D-Cinelike" colour be used in "Auto" mode? When I go into manual mode and use D-Cinelike, and then flip back to Auto.... the colour is still the same unless I manually switch.
Hi Ian, this have no relevance to this video but I don't see an option to ask a random question. Can you recommend an aftermarket light/strobe for the underneath of the Mini 3 Pro to use at night that won't affect the video or photo footage taken, thanks
Will you try and find out what's going on with the Mini 3 Pro today I have it with the RCN1 remote and ever since this last update it will not complete the autonomous flights through the app like Circle mode in hyperlapse or Waypoint missions in hyperlapse find out when we're getting the next update please

fantastic tips thank you Ian
Thanks for the nice overview! My Mini 3 Pro arrives tomorrow! This was really helpful.

Why is my video jerky in POI mode?

Spot on. I need to re-do this video from last year which covers this in detail.... ruclips.net/video/0dFqtB8yudY/видео.html
great info Ian thankyou

OMGosh I just realised I wasn’t subscribed! It was you that got me to buy fast usb/usb c fast chargers!
Phew! Gonna have to watch it again Ian! I’m sure I’ll get it! 👍keep it up bud! 👍
Many thanks Ian, new purchase today and your video is a great step in getting started, couldn't readily find the video frame rate settings.
Thanks from South Africa👍🏻
You say ISO I say EYE SORE!!
Great video Ian.
I came, I saw, I conquered? :)
Great, great video. Just a superb, simple language walk through. Thanks.
Another excellent video Ian
I so (you see what I did there) agree on how to pronounce ISO, so I got your back on that one. As a new owner (and also first drone ever) of a DJI Mini 3 Pro I thank you for this vlog. :-)
A fantastically rich and timed video. How to reduce 60 min+ info into 17 min. Amazing!! Well done. And thanks!!
Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Ian. For somebody who wants to tear my hair out over ISO etc I at last have some idea why my videos turn out like negatives. I have saved your video and will return to it when I reboot my hair and make some sense of it all. Thank you for making sense of it for a guy with his mouth still open in bewilderment.
Maybe watch this video too: ruclips.net/video/0dFqtB8yudY/видео.html
Great info here, just got the Mini 3 Pro last week and used during a week in China filming, really epic drone 🌄😊 Greetings from a Swede in Beijing 🌆
Really great video that answered all of my questions. Thank you very much.
Great video once again Ian. Thanks for posting. I went ahead and posted a link to this on the DJI Forum. Cheers, Bob
(Still waiting for Best Buy to start shipping the DJI Mini 3 Pro). I ordered on launch day so hopefully I will be near the top of their queue.
Cheers Bob 👍🏻
Excellent discussion of settings Ian! Thanks very much for putting it all in perspective!!!
Great video thank you
Wow. Excellent blog Ian and a good recap on photography/video skills. Always useful to recap. Helpful for us still with our Mini2s.
As a newbie to drones but not photography, this was excellent. Thank you.
Excellent explanation of camera & video settings. You managed to present the information in a concise and easily understood format. Great job!! Subscription added. Cheers.
Thank you!
Outstanding tutorial, Ian,. Thank you.
Great tutorial, clearly explained without any BS. Just what I needed 👍
I don’t have a mini or 2 or 3. New kid on the block. Still love watching all my favourite drone reviews like yours Have Mavic 2 pro but always get good info 👍👍✌️
Another very informative and useful video Ian. I really appreciate the work you put into your videos. Hard to believe you had to explain the correct pronunciation of ISO!! How is your leg healing? Keep up the great work.
Excellent tuition. I learned so much from this video. Thanks for posting 👍
Such a great video, no messing around, nothing extra and just what we need to know, thanks
That’s what I noticed. There are ‘extra’ bits, but these are more like ‘honest observations’ or experience anecdotes.
Another brilliant informative video Ian. Thank you so much, DPD should be delivering my mini 3pro tomorrow ready for my upcoming holiday!!! I always name my bits and bob’s. This one will be called Maverick….I wonder why 😜.
Top work Sir. Cleared up loads of ?
Enjoy your cuppa
Great information on this drone, thanks for sharing 👍
Really brilliant explanations. Thank you so much for sharing!
Very helpful Ian, thanks for taking th etime to do this.
Excellent informative tutorial. Thanks.
With me now trying to take advantage of the camera capabilities in my new M3 Pro, as opposed to the M2, thIis helps tremendously Ian, thank you.
Thanks a lot for all the info. You made it very clear and easy to understand although going outside with the drone in the air it will be trickier to remember. But there’s the fun 😊
Great video I learned alot from it and I feel I understand more about the camera setting Thank you
Wow Ian thank you so much for that excellent Tutorial on the Camera setting very informative as always, as you said a lot of information so I have saved your URL to a text file so I can sit back and go through it over and over again till it sinks into my thick skull, regards TJK UK.
Brilliant Ian still trying to snap a good photo this vid will help.
Good job Ian. I needed the refresh in white balance. I have always kept it in “Auto” and I need to get away from that.
Hello Ian, Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into always making informative and wonderful videos!! Much appreciated my friend!!
Cheers Scott 👍🏻
Another good tutorial Ian
Cheers Lyn 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing Ian. I need a cup of tea hehe👍. Cheers 🦘🇦🇺

Thanks Ian, very usefull information. A lot that I didn't know. Cool.
Great video. Had my Mini 3 for a month and loving it. The Time-lapse is great. Thanks for all the info :)
Nice and clear as always there buddy, well done.
Great job, exactly the video I was looking for. Cheers mate from across the pond.

Excellent. The best explanation of ISO/Shutter Speed I have ever seen!
Simple when you know how!!
Another great video Ian, good to know about the camera settings - many thanks for sharing the info :)
Thank you so much for your video! Informative and interesting video. Anyone who is new to DJI droning, must follow...
Awesome video thanks for taking the time to go through it all. Still waiting for delivery of mine, cant wait!
Just what I needed thx. a lot 🙏
Excellent video. Thanks 👍

Great Shot Ian!
Excellent work. Very helpful.
Just ordered one, looking forward to putting it to work ✌🏼
Great informative video as always after 52 hours with the Mini 2 I purchased the Mini 3 and just amazed with the results, I would not be able to do 50% of jobs if it was not for the Mini’s keeping the videos coming and thank you 🙏
Excellent Ian
Another great video 👌🙂 thanks and hope you enjoyed your tea..
Thanks for easy explaining setting. If i go for 2,7k filming, how would you sett you framrate? Thanks.
The resolution (ie 2.7K) won't affect what framerate you choose....
Many thanks for your great vid, subscribed.
My mini3pro choices (photo/video): underexpose -1/3 or -2/3 EV to avoid burned areas, manual WB for sure (but fine tuned in post prod), and to max out settings for better post prod: RAW 4:3 format 48mpix & D-cine like (LOG) 4K 30fps HDR (smoother side travelling & no HDR when 60fps).

👏👏👏 Now I want to see the out takes please. 🤣🤣 You did incredibly well enjoy your Tea
I put those out to the channel members! :)
Great tips Ian as always many thanks for putting this together mate!
Cheers Dave 🤠👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This tutorial is great. most others dont even bother to show you where the funtion buttons are they just bloviate and have no teaching skills. Thanks
The square box with the sun icon on the touch screen to change exposure .... Not clear what it's there and I find myself sliding it around not knowing for sure if the exposure is right or not. Is there just an auto exposure so when I touch the screen I don't keep getting this? Thanks
Top video Ian, very clear and informative 👍
Thank you Ian. Nice explanation. I'm using Mini 2 but eventually going for the mini 3
Hi Ian. I went to have a look at Mini 3 and made a comparison to Air 2s. I have with me a Mini2.
Which one should I invest to? Could you help me out in giving me the pros and cons. Would appreciate it greatly.
As always great video and very useful information thank you for sharing Ian 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Can "D-Cinelike" colour be used in "Auto" mode? When I go into manual mode and use D-Cinelike, and then flip back to Auto.... the colour is still the same unless I manually switch.
Thanks Ian. Did you do the other video of master shots?
Hi Ian, this have no relevance to this video but I don't see an option to ask a random question. Can you recommend an aftermarket light/strobe for the underneath of the Mini 3 Pro to use at night that won't affect the video or photo footage taken, thanks

shutter speed effects motion blur right? if im taking stills of a moving object, the higher shutter the less blur right?
Correct. Motion blur isnfir videos 👍🏻👍🏻
