Pls help..  has anyone tried to orbit their mavic pro 360 around their shoes within 1-3 feet away from the subject/feet?

Don't think you can orbit that close, even if you turn off object avoidance, but even if you could you're asking for trouble -- those props will shred your shins. Just say no.

How bout just holding it and walking around your subject -- the camera will record without the props turning and the gimbal will still stabilize the video.

oh thats a very good idea!  CLEVER! ill let u know how it goes..  thanks

Holding it is probably your best bet. But if you want to be daring you could also try tripod mode and try and do it manually.

Thanks Brian88..  I’ll try that as well..  

You must have really nice legs and shoes, otherwise, why would you want to do that.

@locoman.. lol I’m helping a friend of mine shoot his shoes while he’s walking around his neighborhood.  Yes he has some really nice shoes..  lol

You can use the DJI Osmo Mobile

Air Jordans?  Just PLEASE - not Baller Brand!   

This is the first time I've even seen a question like this LOL Yeah, OSMO or a Mavic katana are your best options for this I guess.

Love them shoes eh?

@DJT_MVSP. Thanks for the suggestion..  

@stanfordWebbi..  yes Jordans, Yeezys, And Air Max’s..  tryna get the drone to follow my friend walking down the block and would edit into post to show case diff shoes on while walking then take off  wry high at the very end of it

@A CW,  nice thanks for the suggestions..  I’ll research Katana

Rent a helicopter to put the ornaments on a Christmas Tree!

Hover the drone and put the shoes on a turntable
