Study Notes
Hyperlapse Tutorial
- To perform a hyperlapse, set multiple waypoints, and the drone will fly to each point, capturing a photo at each location.
- Use the Waypoint mode to create a dynamic view by flying to each point, then press the Waypoint button to set the next point.
- Set the interval to 2 seconds for a smoother hyperlapse.
Video Production
- When shooting a video production, consider the frame rate of your timeline, as hyperlapses may need to be sped up to match the frame rate.
- Shoot in PAL format (25 frames per second) for European and Chinese markets, and NTSC format (30/60 frames per second) for American markets.
- Hyperlapses are valuable assets in video production, providing variety and smoothness to the footage.
Drone Tips
- When flying, use the "furthest first" rule, getting your furthest shots first to conserve battery life.
- Course lock mode allows you to set a frame and fly in a steady direction, useful for hyperlapses when running low on battery.
- Use the "tornado motion" to bring the drone down quickly, avoiding Vortex ring state.
- When landing, fly straight down when 10-20 ft above the desired landing spot, and ensure the drone and you have the same orientation.
Battery Management
- Check the battery level frequently, as it can drop quickly, especially when performing hyperlapses.
- A full battery can only support a couple of long hyperlapses, so plan accordingly.
- Stopping a hyperlapse mid-flight will not inhibit the drone's capacity, and the video will still be created.
Additional Tips
- Smoothness, variety, color, and evoking emotions are key to creating great video productions.
- Master shots and quick shots can be useful, but they take time to set up and waste battery life; learning to fly motions yourself is recommended.
- Always check your airspace and follow the rules of takeoff, including flying into the wind and having the same orientation as the drone.
