Study Notes
Drone Features and Limitations
- Without a micro SD card, the drone's capabilities are limited, and video resolution will be downgraded when recording to a phone or tablet.
Battery Life and Age
- The drone's battery life decreases over time, even after a month of usage.
- Cheaper drones tend to have shorter battery life.
Recording Modes
- The drone can record 4K 60fps video.
- In photo mode, the drone can shoot in raw format, allowing for more editing options.
Pano Shots
- Panos can be shot in the drone's photo mode.
- Multiple photos can be taken and then stitched together in Lightroom to create an HDR pano.
Hyperlapses
- Hyperlapses can be created using the drone's Waypoint mode.
- The drone can be set to fly through a series of waypoints to capture a hyperlapse.
- The hyperlapse can be customized with different frame rates, lengths, and modes (free, circle, course lock, or Waypoint).
- In America, the standard frame rates are 24fps, 30fps, or 60fps (broadcast standard), while Pal countries use 25fps.
- When creating a hyperlapse, the drone will capture a video with 250 frames, but the actual length of the video will depend on the frame rate (e.g., 10 seconds in Pal format, but 7-8 seconds in American format).
Vertical Hyperlapses
- The Mini 4 Pro drone can create vertical hyperlapses by physically moving the gimbal into vertical mode.
Advanced Aerial Videography
- The drone can be used to create advanced aerial shots, such as reveals, slides, and orbits, which can be learned through practice and study.
Landing the Drone
- When landing the drone, it's best to find a flat surface and land into the wind.
- Avoid landing in grass, dirt, or water, and do not land in your hand.

- Standard frame rates in America are 24fps, 30fps, or 60fps (broadcast standard), while Pal countries use 25fps.
- A 250-frame video is captured, with actual length depending on frame rate (e.g., 10 seconds in Pal format, 7-8 seconds in American format).
