First test flight using DJI G0 4.0.1 Cinematic flight mode...

[JtrJr]

I only got a chance to burn off one battery, the weather here has been trash. It's nothing special, just a simple test to see what the video looks like from the Mavic. Seemed to fly well but the Here maps still weren't working. Noticed the horizon is off again and I did ALL calibrations and I'm on the latest firmware. I recorded at 2.7k and dropped it down to 1080p to post but I didn't do any other editing except for cutting the clips.

very nice.....how cold was it when you were filming?

 

[JtrJr]

Heavy,

I think it was about 36F. I'm not ready to test this thing below freezing until I get a bit more familiar with it. I fly my P3's well below freezing and haven't had any issues.

Merry Christmas, Heavy!

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but where do you find the cinematic mode?

 

[JtrJr]

Mad,

Not a stupid question at all. Click the little Remote Controller symbol on the lower left of the screen to bring up the flight modes. Select Cinematic and you're good! I'm using Android but it should be the same or similar for iOS. Happy Holidays!

Thank you for your prompt reply Jerry.

What does the cinematic mode do?

Does it make all the movements super smooth and gentle?

Toe,

Yes, it slows down and smooths out some control functions.

Cinematic mode also, as the app warns you, increases stopping distance in order to be more gentle with the camera. If you're moving horizontally in Cinematic and let go of the sticks, instead of stopping itself within a couple inches, it'll glide a little further in the direction it was going and slow to a stop.

Great views... What software did you edit/cut with Jerry ? I am just getting into it and am trying to make a decision on editing software.

 

[JtrJr]

Pat,

I didn't do any editing really, aside from slicing, adding transitions and music. No color correcting was done it's straight from the camera. I'm just a hobbyist and don't do much post work.

On this one I just used Windows Movie Maker (free!!!). I also use Cyberlink Power Producer and Adobe Elements. Both of these are relatively inexpensive.

My videos are really for my own amusement (memories) and to share with family and friends so I'm not too worried about spectacular production. Hope that helps.

It certainly does Jerry.. thanks... I am also a hobbyist and don't want to go overboard with serious software... All I need is what you did.... Have a good new year
