DJI Mini 4 Pro | Create STUNNING Day/Night Footage!

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.
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?! 😉🤣

- In the US It is a legal requirement to use a strobe between sunrise and sunset - see FAA rulings for details.
- Top tip from other viewers - change the opacity of the top video track for an easy way to line them up! Thankyou!

That automated night time landing is truly impressive!

The Youtube algorithm just forced me to watch your video 🤣, I'm glad it did. Very informative and I love your dry sense of humor. I just subscribed.

Editing is the key to life! Well done!!

Love you down to earth style with the odd joke :)

You explained it very well. I will definitely try it with my new mini4pro. The YouTube subscriber table on your wall is very humorous. You gained a new subscriber.

What a video, huh! super comprehensive tutorial, It’s really detailed, congrats!
You nailed it! Keeps us hooked until the end 👏👏👏

[ianjones]

I’ve learned something new 👍👍, did not know I had that night mode, seeing I live by the coast I’m going to try it as soon as possible.
Oh and your garden looks much better in night mode 😂😂

Entertaining content, but what REALLY got me to subscribe was you showing off the "Cardboard Play Button" on the wall. Sweet.

[ChrisRichardsonwtfgamer]

Great job! Don’t forget there’s an option in the inspector for transparency. Makes lining your shots up easy. Thanks for the awesome video!

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.

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

I would say that it may be best to do the night scene during the early blue hour (just after the sunset) as it gives you more leverage when it comes to editing for a noise free result. Transaction is prefect, well done.

Thanks man, i ordered a mini 4 pro...love your video! I like how you dont rush through everything, very relaxing. i keep this short, want to watch more from your channel!

[NickB_Yorkshire]

Good stuff. Looking forward to trying night mode with my new Mini 4 Pro. I also use DaVinci Resolve (Studio) for all of my editing. Brilliant software. Wouldn’t use anything else now 😊

[paullawrence]

Looks brilliant! Never tried a night flight. Got a job flying it in the daylight😅 Really enjoyed as always! 👌🖖

What a great looking beach, Tomasz, and all to yourself. 🎉
