Master the Art of the Reveal Shot
The reveal shot is a cinematic classic that never fails to impress. Start with your drone close to an object or landscape (like a tree, building, or mountain), then slowly ascend or pull back to reveal the grander scene. With the ATOM 2’s 8K resolution and 3-axis gimbal stabilization, every detail of your footage will be crisp, smooth, and breathtaking.
Pro Tip: Use the Intelligent Flight Modes like Dolly Zoom to add dynamic movement to your reveal shots, and take advantage of the 8K resolution to zoom in during editing without losing quality.
Chase the Action with AI Track
Want to capture yourself or a subject in motion? The ATOM 2’s AI Track Mode is perfect for action-packed shots. Whether you’re hiking, biking, or even kayaking, the drone will autonomously track and film you from above. The 8K video ensures that every detail of your adventure is captured in stunning clarity, making your footage look like it’s straight out of a Hollywood production.
Pro Tip: Combine multiple shooting modes to capture stunning moments and seamlessly edit them into a compelling video. Use Burst Mode to freeze fast-moving action, perfect for sports events or wildlife photography, ensuring no critical moment is missed. Complement it with Slow Motion to emphasize key highlights—like a bike soaring mid-air or a wave crashing—adding cinematic depth. Finally, blend these clips in post-production to craft a dynamic, visually striking story.
Create Stunning Time-Lapses with Interval Shooting
Time-lapses are a fantastic way to showcase the passage of time, and the ATOM 2’s 8K camera and Interval Timer Shooting feature take them to the next level. Position your drone in a stable hover over a scenic location (like a sunset, cityscape, or flowing river) and set the interval to capture a series of high-resolution images. Once set, you can take a continuous series of photographs at each specified time interval. You can then create a time-lapse movie from the still images produced by interval shooting using the computer software.
Pro Tip: For nighttime shooting, activate AI Night Mode to capture stunning starry skies or city lights with enhanced clarity and reduced noise.
Fly Low for Unique Perspectives
While drones are often associated with high-altitude shots, flying low can produce equally stunning results. For skilled pilots, the ATOM 2 offers the perfect tool to skim just above water surfaces, glide through forests, or weave around architectural structures. Its lightweight design, intelligent flight modes, and FPV mode make it ideal for these daring, low-altitude maneuvers, while the 8K resolution ensures every detail is captured in sharp clarity.
Note: Low-altitude flights require advanced piloting skills and are not recommended for beginners. Even experienced pilots should remain vigilant of potential obstacles to ensure safety and avoid collisions.
Capture Dynamic Panoramas
The ATOM 2’s Panorama Mode allows you to capture sweeping, ultra-high-resolution landscapes with ease. Simply activate the mode, and the drone will automatically take a series of 8K photos, stitching them together into a breathtaking wide-angle view. This is perfect for showcasing vast landscapes, city skylines, or even large group shots.
Bonus Tip: Edit Like a Pro
Once you’ve captured your footage, don’t forget to enhance it with editing. The 8K resolution of the ATOM 2 gives you incredible flexibility in post-production. Use software like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or even free tools like DaVinci Resolve to add music, transitions, and color grading. The high resolution ensures your footage will look professional even after cropping or zooming. Incorporate Slow Motion clips to add drama and emphasis to key moments in your videos.
