Darren ! I am impatiently waiting for my Mini 3. Couldn't afford the pro. I have bought 2 other DJI drones in the past and could not get the hang of it. Ended up selling them. If I had found this video back then my life would have been different. I am now confident I have a way forward to get some skills. This video IS a game changer ! I am 71 yrs old and I haven't been this excited in a long time ! You are now at the top of my list, my number one go to. You are an incredible teacher and am now a huge fan. Thank you SO much ! Rick
Found this channel while looking into the Mini 3 Pro. This will be my first drone and your videos have gotten me so excited to get into this hobby. Great information, footage, and well put together tutorials. Can't wait for mine to arrive tomorrow! Keep up the amazing content.
I got my first drone last November in 2022, I wish I had seen your video before my first flight. Your videos are the best educational, tutorials videos that I've ever seen. You are the best. Thanks you so much.
Thanks for the camera move ideas. Can you tell me what exact camera settings you use? 4k 30fps? 60fps? What color mode ,etc. Can you tell me what you use for both daylight and night filming?
Been enjoying all of your videos ever since the leaks of this baby !! I truly appreciate you !! You made want to get it !! It’s finally getting here tomorrow !! Can’t wait to fly it !! Have a great day continue creating great content I enjoy and I have been learning a lot !! Thanks 🙏🏼
for flying far back from closeup, if you lock yourself with active track spotlight mode and then do the far maneuver, then you don't need a gimbal wheel to operate manually :)
Great video of basic moves that show great results. I feel many people expect a cinematic video to be the result from one single flight and get disappointed when that doesn't happen. A great video starts with a group of single shots as you show them to be followed by some clever editing. Thank you for all your guidance.
I'm a new Mini 3 owner. 6 Flights under belt. This was by far one of the best tutorial videos I have watched. Thank you. Can not wait to try a few moves.
I got my first done in 2018 and am now with the Mini 3 Pro. Excited to see insights and creative input on your channel. Some of the ideas I already (intuitively) performed, and there is more to come. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the great tutorial, Darren. I need to work more on the use of the gimbal wheel. Looking forward to your advanced techniques. Cheers from Wisconsin.
I love watching your videos and i think i almost watched all of them and i can say it helped me a lot as a beginner pilot. What i like about it is it's easy to follow your tutorials compare to others. Continue to share your knowledge, ideas and experience. I highly recommend you when someone asking me how i learn basics stuffs about mini 3 pro and it's features. Newbie here from Philippines.
Hi Darren, I have to call my boss that I don't have time to come to work for the time being. I've had my mini 3 pro for two days now, but I don't really have time for that either. I definitely want to watch all your videos. Super educational just great I am convinced that this, especially for any novice droner, is a great addition to learn all the possibilities of this fantastic hobby fairly quickly. Thank you for your input and hope you keep doing this for a long time to come. greetings Harry
Fantastic video, Many thanks DM Productions. I had already started using some of these moves without actually understanding how to do them properly from a Stick configuration prospective.
I just wanted to thank you for producing the best instructional videos on RUclips. Your videos go beyond telling the viewer what to do and help us learn HOW to do them. I would love to see you produce a series just for boaters if possible as there are some fairly unique elements to launching, retrieving and filming marine video. thanks again!!
Hi Darren love your videos top quality, I've got my mini 3 pro three weeks ago we're going to Majorca in July, do I need to do any more tests before we fly to Majorca I've got my flyers ID and operator ID in the UK
This is brilliant. Iam also looking for better settings for gimbal and throttle, is there any vids on the Channel, because these vids are very good, helpful and clearly explained! Thanks 😊
Hi Darren, isn't the orbit just pulling the sticks in opposite directions but horizontally? I have not tried diagonally yet, but I wonder the effect. I learned orbit as either both out (left one stright left, right one straight right or left one straight right and right one straight left).
Had my drone for a few days now. Had a first flight and first crash. Time to just take it easy and practice a few of these moves at a time. Thanks - great content 😀
Excellent video! just got my first drone 2 weeks ago and still unboxed! LOL trying to digest as much info as I can and whenever I have more free time will start to experiment with it.
Thx for this. Love the dramatic reveal shots and music at the start. Great the way you cut to scenes on those violin drama beats... Adds so much tension/atmosphere and gives it that big production feel. Brill and well done. I would love to learn the basics of how you do it Darren it If ever you get a chance in a future RUclips vid. Cheers
Hi Darren. Another great informative video ,thanks. Just got my Mini 3 pro today ,it’s awesome so quiet. Quick question in the settings why won’t the yaw go any lower than 20 in normal?
I have a DJI mini 2 and will be soon upgrading to the mini 3. But having the mini 2 means 4k at 30 fps. 30 fps is a disaster, but it taught me all of these moves, and they work. You can also pan up the gimbal (raise the camera, up and down) when brining the subject into view as you gain altitude or lower altitude.
So much to learn here! I will try some of them. But I wonder how to determine the relative height of objects. I'm new to drones, but I'm thinking I could center the gimbal and then move the drone up/down till the grid-crosshairs are seen on top of the object, or is there some other trick?
Ready! Can you make a video on how to get the best lighting using the settings? I have purchased ND filters to help with shooting mid day, but they almost make it ~too~ dark.
Thank for the educational videos you produced. I a newly drone owner and new to the world of drone. I’ll going for travel for 2 weeks for now. So hopefully it will help me a lot.
... Thank you very much.... I won't get my Mini 3 Pro until June 13th. I get really excited when I see your moves. I hope I don't crash my first drone right away... 😐
This is my first or second comment in RUclips in 10years I don’t remember. May be I am excited about DJI I don’t know, but Very well explained video, details are crystal clear without confusions. Awesome dude.
Hi DM learnt a lot watching your video now got to put it into practice and like they say practice makes perfect 👍 keep up the good work and as I’ve said before look forward to seeing more of your videos………..
Nice one Darren! Simple, straight forward and great examples clips! You going to try a dolly zoom/vertigo effect? I've heard you can do them on a few of the Mavic ranges. Great content on Insta too! 💪🏼🔥🤟🏻

Mine fav is down with gimbal up
Fast down and forward was my fav !
Yes that’s a great one !
Some brilliant “gold standard” cinematic moves!
Thank you 😊

Same here - Wednesday delivery. It's already left the DHL service area!!!!!!!!!
for flying far back from closeup, if you lock yourself with active track spotlight mode and then do the far maneuver, then you don't need a gimbal wheel to operate manually :)
While you are right, I think the whole point of this particular video is to get YOU to do things manually, rather than relying on automation.
Am I dumb or would the drone not rise up with the stick position you show for the orbit move ?
Thx for the great video
Great video of basic moves that show great results. I feel many people expect a cinematic video to be the result from one single flight and get disappointed when that doesn't happen. A great video starts with a group of single shots as you show them to be followed by some clever editing. Thank you for all your guidance.
Thank you Ben, cinematic shots can easily be achieved, as you well know that’s only part of the puzzle, next comes the editing !

Hope not too long Paul!?
My mini 3 arrives tomorrow! I am so excited it’s also the last day of school for me so learning how to fly it is great
Sounds a perfect day ?!
This has been the best video I've seen for explaining how to get good shots for beginners. Thanks
gonna check it out after work, thank you for your awesome work.
Thanks hope it helps
Greatly enjoying my Mini 3 Pro and this channel! Learning more about flying and filming as I go and this channel has been very helpful. Thank you!
Beautiful shots captured on the Mini 3 Pro. You got some great filmmaking skills as well.
Thank you very much
My mini 3 pro is arriving tomorrow. Perfect timing!
Perfect timing indeed!

Thanks George, yes the wheel and how to use it smoothly is one of the hardest the master but once you have it’s a home run
Another great video! I’m ready here in California for more advanced moves. Bring it!

Fantastic video Darren. Wow, those are some great moves for us to learn. Thank you again for sharing.
Cheers Mark ! Which is your fav one ?
Gonna practice these moves this week thank you
Nice one good luck!
Hi Darren love your videos top quality, I've got my mini 3 pro three weeks ago we're going to Majorca in July, do I need to do any more tests before we fly to Majorca I've got my flyers ID and operator ID in the UK
You need to register and do a test depending on the drone, if you Google it it till take you to the relevant Spanish site
What editing software do you use? I want to take the next step and start creating videos with music for social media posting. Thank you
Hey I use Final Cut Pro and Artlist for music which I’ve linked
I am so glad I found this video! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
This is great. Thanks for the ideas and tutorial.

Love the Top Gun reference 😄. Really useful video, thanks Darren!
Thanks Ben 😊
Super tutorial. I found out today that one can actually set the gimbal wheel to be much less sensitive under advanced settings.
This is brilliant. Iam also looking for better settings for gimbal and throttle, is there any vids on the Channel, because these vids are very good, helpful and clearly explained! Thanks 😊
Notifications gang checking in, ugh I’m so tempted to buy this for my Philippines trip!! In September

Excellent lessons, Darren. I liked the one when the video is pulling away from the town. Btw, love the Top Gun baseball cap.
Haha it’s a nice hat ! 🧑✈️

It’s a good idea to always be around 20/30 away or above any object as a minimum to get good composition
Ready! Can you make a video on how to get the best lighting using the settings? I have purchased ND filters to help with shooting mid day, but they almost make it ~too~ dark.
