Unleash Your Creativity— 3 Top Content Creation Tips

Gone are the days when content creation was reserved for professional creatives in fancy studios and movie sets— today, amateurs can unleash their creativity from practically anywhere with just a small action camera or drone. As part of the evolving toolkit for content creation, drones show how technology can amplify storytelling, providing creators with the means to captivate audiences.

Let’s explore some top tips for content creators and how to gear up to be the best.

3 Best Content Creation Tips

Active track

DJI ActiveTrack allows users to effortlessly track a chosen subject, be it a person walking along a trail, driving a car, or swimming in the ocean. The intelligent tracking system of the drone utilizes its vision and sensing capabilities to ensure safe flight, enabling users to focus on capturing the perfect shot. Once a subject is selected, the DJI ActiveTrack offers various options:

• Trace: The drone tracks the subject at a constant distance.
• Spotlight: The drone doesn't automatically trace the subject but keeps the camera focused on it during flight.
• Profile: The drone tracks the subject at a constant angle and distance from the side.

Vertical shooting 

Vertical shooting allows creators to easily share content across various social platforms without the need for extensive format editing.  Vertical content, when shared, eliminates the need for viewers to rotate their phones for the optimal viewing experience, distinguishing it from horizontally oriented content. Cameras like the Mini 3’s can rotate 90 degrees with an innovative gimbal design, providing the camera with a broad-angle tilt. 

Gimbal stabilization 

Maintaining the stability and smoothness of the camera during flight ensures that aerial footage is free from shakes and jitters. For drones, a gimbal stabilizer is a crucial component—for those who love content creation using their smartphones, the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer Extension Rod offers compactness, automatic deployment, and a range of intelligent features to capture perfect shots and selfies with ease.
