I've been experimenting with creating moving aerial time-laspe videos.  I start my putting the Mavic in tripod mode so it will move really slow.  I set the Mavic to shoot stills and adjust my setting in manual mode.  Once I've composed my shot and determined my direction of travel, I push the right stick in that direction and hold it in place at full limit.  Then, with the other hand I tap the shutter about once every second.  At home, I compile the stills in After Effects, make a few adjustments and export them as a 4k movie.  Works pretty good!!

Took me a while to understand what you were trying to do but the effect is quite good.

Wow, works well. Shame the auto picture taking on mavic is limited to eery 3 seconds because shorter durations would be handy and involve one less finger ;-)

Wow, that is a lot of shutter presses

Exactly!!  3-seconds usually isn't fast enough.  I wish the Mavic would do an update that allowed faster time-lapse shooting.  I'm not sure why they don't since it's capable of recording RAW files every second.  Thanks for the feedback!

Right? Somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 to 600 for every scene.

Amazing.
Now just hope DJI will release a timed shutter that can make xx nr of exposures with intervals where the interval and nr of exposures are variable.
