Microsoft Flight Simulator – Mastering the Drone Camera for Cinematic Shots

8 Comments

1. You didn't touch on Field Of View (zoom in and out), the first thing any self-respecting director of photography keeps in mind. E.g. can you do a dolly zoom with the drone?

2. "Mastering the Drone Camera for Cinematic Shots with a gamepad" would be more appropriate.

3. what is the control inpts for the controller? i wanna setup the same way you did on your controller

4. Have you tried Lens Correction = ON
   This setting gets rid of the fake and unnecessary, irritating (for me) Ultra Wide Angle distortion that artificially exagerates the size of close things and makes scenery panning unreal.
   Lens correction gets rid of much of the artificial distortion to look more lifelike. Edit – also with a more lifelike perspective.
   FWIW, I will no longer watch any vids without lens correction on.

5. I am using the xbox controller to control the drone camera and I think the axis control is better in controlling the sensitivity of the movement. What I really need is the ability to control the plane while in the drone mode to get the plane in action while panning the camera for a more dynamic shot. I trying to get my cinematic channel going appreciated if you can give some comments. Thanks alot ?

6. Wow! Great tutorial!!

7. Works with the wired x box controler as well. Been playing with it for a while and also wished it saved your settings. I have mine set up like a RC helicoper so it can bank on the right stick. Forward and back on the big buttons and up down on the left stick. That also does rotation. That way for a old school RC pilot it felt very natural. Also the wired controlers are very cheap. Great video again.

8. thanks, I definately needed this demonstrated 🙂
