I’ve been shooting aerial drone landscapes for a few years now and talk a lot about shooting multi-layer panoramics in my book and when I do workshops. There’s a mode on the DJI Mavic Pro that a lot of people don’t talk about much and that is Portrait Capture. When portrait capture is turned on, the Mavic camera rotates 90 degrees. This enables you to go from landscape mode to portrait mode, giving you a taller photo. I utilize this mode a lot when shooting panoramic photos so I can capture a lot more sky and foreground in my compositions.

If you could please create a tutorial on how to take photos for a pano and how to edit it after that would be much appreciated thanks!
This is the one I've been looking for. Have you experimented with AEB for each shot in the stitch? Would need some processing power for that though I guess. Nice tute!
Portrait mode available in mavic 2zoom
Hey I have the Mavic pro 2 and i dont have that option for Portrait mode?
great video on portrait options, what is the name of the remote/ipad holder you have,looks like a good one. Thanks Jeff
One of the best features, for me, of the mavic pro over other dji drones, and one feature that won't be in the next mavic generation…
Great video, but did you do a video showing how to shot the pano in portrait mode? I'm guessing you rotate the drone, but how much overlap do you use: half? a third? a quarter? Do you take photos left to right or center to right then left to center? If you've done a field video showing how you take portrait mode panos, please provide the link. Thanks! And keep up the great work!
Very cool!
You can stitch your photos with Affinity Photo – new panorama-mode
Thanks Aldryn🤙
Exactly what I needed! Thanks so much was struggling with a specific composition and this is the tutorial that is going to make it happen. Thank you.
I am learning loads from your videos, thank you for your help, did you move the drone manually from frame to frame or there is an app to help you on that?
FlytPath, is portrait mode only for stills? How to also shoot video in this mode? When I tried, the playback showed the images horizontally. Thank you.
Not yet tried this mode for panoramic images, definitely will do all the time now. You like me like more sky and foreground stuff..
Wow..didn't know about the 4:3 ratio… Thanks man..noob question since I hardly take videos yet.. But same ratio for videos as well?
Great stuff, your videos are well done. Would love to see how you take images for pano and actually do stitching
cool stuff. just bought a used mavic today and watching several of your videos 🙂 are u shooting raw then?
Thank you!
I finally found how to do this brilliant.
Thanks.
How far from the airport are you.
Just stumbled on two of your videos today. Been looking all over for this info about portrait mode. Quality stuff. Thanks for taking the time to create and share. Also, a video on how to edit photos in Lightroom would be interesting. Subbed.
Great video and tips. Thumbs up and a new subscriber
Thanks for the tip 🙂
I'm glad you posted this video. I tried Portrait mode, but couldn't see the camera physically move. So I thought it was just cropping the landscape view. Your close-up showed the camera actually rotates. I wish DJI would provide better tech info. Thanks!
Should I use my nd filters for landscapes in portrait mode?
I'm not sure if you mentioned it but make sure that you disable auto mode for white balance (and all the other settings to something fixed like the shutter speed and iso levels) to keep the sky looking consistent. In other words, use MANUAL settings instead of AUTO. Longtime panorama shooter here 🙂
Just got Mavic and would like to try your tips on portrait panoramic – how do you operate the drone so that you get a over lap of images to allow post production to provide a good image 😊
How are you getting permission to fly so close to the airport?
awesome tips…. learnt more from your vids for my Mavric Pro-Kepp it up!!!!!
Thanks for the video. I've been on the edge of getting this drone, I've been busy enriching my craft with my camera and did not want to take away from that but I keep seeing some really cool perspectives done by using drones for photography and its really peaked my interest. I also live in San Diego, so don't get surprised if I ever tap you on the shoulder to introduce my self. Don't worry I won't do it while you are busy flying.
