You guys allways have good information, and advice. Both of you seem like the most genuine, " down-to- earth guys in the you-tube drone community.

[@HalfChrome]

Thanks. There are a lot of good people in the community.

[@jakeglassmoyer9984]

This is wonderful. Thank you. My first try was so ugly but… practice makes perfect. My gamer son with his hand eye coordination would pick this up fast.

[@adwincorreya8775]

1st comment! As always great video 😄😄

[@jayden._films]

2nd comment!great tutorial 👍

[@WanderlustWithT]

Works like a charm thank you!

[@jamescrawley8565]

Lovley stuff

[@GeroLubovnik]

Thanks. That was helpful.

[@simonblackburn6748]

Originally, you were supposed to keep the first shot-size the same. Did it a million times as a TV Cameraman.

[@yous-dyouzer]

Thanks for that

[@HalfChrome]

Glad to help

[@outdooradventures92]

When I use the zoom with the wheel my camera drops to the ground at full zoom for some reason

[@bushrasafi2052]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@camillewandelt2932]

Nice, thank you for the tip.

[@HalfChrome]

Glad to help

[@pkvloge]

Nice

[@MattMarcio]

Hi Half Chrome, can you do this with the mini 3 pro ? thanks

[@HalfChrome]

Yes

[@seb-depp]

Interesting. But I guess it's easier to do it in post. Would be nice to compare the quality of zoom inside the mini and in post.

[@HalfChrome]

A standard zoom yes. But a dolly in post?

[@seb-depp]

@@HalfChrome Yes. You'd have to do the same planning and move the drone forward or backwards and then zoom in post backwards or forwards.

[@ConsecDesign]

@@seb-depp oh gawd nooooo. the longer the shot is, the more you have to scale the image. this means you'll either have a very brief effect, or the beginning or end of your shot will be potato scaled

[@netbagstv9646]

What is the key need to use in remote to perform that Dolly camera

[@normannutbar424]

Can you adjust the speed and smoothness of the zoom, with the mini 2?

[@riverjackvlog673]

Can you tell us more how to set up dolly zoom setting I can’t see. I try to my own I can’t do same as you take video shot like a dolly zoom

[@HalfChrome]

Make sure the firmware is updated.

[@YAHWO1]

Please do DJI mini 2 have course lock or headless or home lock mode in the app?

[@HalfChrome]

I don’t believe so

[@asha_-ct4fp]

How to zoom for mini se sir??

[@ihategoogle5910]

Why do you only get 4x zoom in 1080p and not in 2.7 or 4k?

[@gregorywiggins8038]

because that's how it works

[@kawi7676]

I can’t even get the zoom to appear on it. I select video but there is no choice to pick the 4K or 2.7. At the bottom it is there and I could pick the res but there is no 1x next to the camera button. I can’t make the wheel or anything. Zoom. It’s like it’s a missing feature.

[@HalfChrome]

Update firmware maybe

[@kawi7676]

@@HalfChrome thanks for the reply. I actually just got it so I did an update. I flew it twice and there’s no 1x in any mode. Maybe it needs to be turned on as a feature?

[@HalfChrome]

Hmm. Not on mine.

[@kawi7676]

You’re right. It was the firmware. The first thing I did was update the firmware before I ever flew it but I checked again and it was still there, so I did it all over again and this time it took. It’s a little finicky with the process of updating and installing. You have to make sure it completes all the steps. I don’t recall this with the mini 1. But now it zooms so thanks for the replies.

[@HalfChrome]

Great

[@gg4099]

Hello Half Chrome, I have DJI Marvic mini 2. I can do zoom on video, I dont see 1x 2x function neither do I see 4K. can you pls advise. thanks

[@weltvonoben]

May you have the mini 1/SE not the 2

[@moniamahjoub1308]

I can’t find the zoom

[@HalfChrome]

You may have to update firmware
