Using the awesome Waypoints feature of the DJI Mini 4 Pro along with the gorgeous Night Mode, learn how to make day to night Transitions. I use Davinci Resolve to do this, but you can do it with virtually any editing package!.

Whilst it is not a legal requirement to use a strobe in the UK, I strongly recommend getting one to maintain good visual line of sight (VLOS) especially at night, but also during the day.
I got mine from Amazon : amzn.eu/d/eWWLTDW
Incredibly light weight - If you're lucky it may not even put your mini drone over the 250g mark!.

And yes, before anyone comments - I have 5 Barbecues and quite regularly leave the house with some low and slow going - but I wasn't talking about me was I?! šŸ˜‰šŸ¤£

    - Link for the strobe : amzn.eu/d/eWWLTDW - In the UK it is not a legal requirement to use one (but it helps!) If it does put the drone over 250g then to fly in the A1 Open Subcategory you must have the A2 CofC qualification. See www.uavhub.com/ for details. - In the US It is a legal requirement to use a strobe between sunrise and sunset - see FAA rulings for details. -Davinci Resolve Editing Package available from www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/products/davinciresolvā€¦ - Top tip from other viewers - change the opacity of the top video track for an easy way to line them up! Thankyou!

    The nightmode looks incredible for such a small sensor. I think you're probably owed a commission from DJI as this video has sold me on upgrading my Mini 2 to a 4 Pro.

  • You can also program actions at the waypoints, it is in the waypoint itself, you can choose to do things like take photos and start and stop recording as well as adjusting the speed between individual waypoints. So you could set it to start recording at the first waypoint and stop recording at the last for example or to go and take photos at different waypoints. The Point Of Interest (POI) feature is useful too, you can set a point of interest and then set some waypoints to look at the point of interest, so the drone will go between waypoints whilst looking at the point of interest. You can do this manually by manually positioning the drone to look at it but the built in feature it could be useful for some scenarios. The reason the clips were slightly off could be to do with the positioning accuracy of the drone, positioning accuracy with GPS is only +-0.5 m, so worst case the position is a metre off between runs. It will also depend on how the drone goes between waypoints, whether it follows a route of intermediate waypoints or it just tries to get to the next waypoint in any way possible. It might be interesting to test it but with adding more waypoints in between to see if the followed route can get any more accurate.

    Wow! I'm a Photo retoucher by trade, an RC car enthusiast, and all round nerd interested in buying a drone. This video has convinced me to make that step! Many thanks for an epic video šŸ‘

    *Journey of Light: Day to Night* With the Mini 4 Pro, letā€™s take flight, Waypoints set for day and night. From dawnā€™s embrace to dusk's delight, A seamless dance of fading light. In the morning's tender, golden rays, We map our path through natureā€™s maze. Each waypoint whispers where to go, Tracing the arc of sun's soft glow. As shadows stretch and twilight nears, We capture moments, calm and clear. Night Mode wakes, with magicā€™s touch, Transforming scenes we love so much. Day to night, a grand transition, Crafted with a precise vision. In Davinciā€™s realm, we weave our tale, With hues that shift, like a dreamā€™s veil. For every glow and shadow cast, The Mini 4 Pro makes moments last. From vivid noon to starry skies, Its lens, a portal to our eyes. Through editingā€™s art, we bring to life, A journey void of daytime strife. The colors blend, the scenes unite, A symphony of dark and light. And though in UK skies we soar, A strobe ensures we see much more. Not just a law, but safetyā€™s light, Guiding our craft through deepest night. So take to air, with heart and sight, Let waypoints guide your wondrous flight. From dayā€™s bright start to nightā€™s embrace, Discover beauty, space by space. Inspire, create, with every frame, Harness the power of DJIā€™s name. Let Mini 4 Pro be your guide, Through endless skies, horizons wide.

  • Great job! Donā€™t forget thereā€™s an option in the inspector for transparency. Makes lining your shots up easy. Thanks for the awesome video!
  • @nicholasr82
    This is really good. A step by step way of doing all this very much appreciated.
  • @davilesp
    "P Mode" = Position Mode by DJI. You can use almost all features such as the anti collission sensors, GPS and Glonass for the positioning, VPS sensors to keep the position above the floor and much more. So this level offers much more safety than some other modes.

    Just subscribed. Love your sense of humour. I'll be following along to see that cardboard youtube award turn into the real thing.
