The CineSleeves M1 are two sets of resistive joystick sleeves that go over the top of your fixed or unscrewable joysticks to give a similar feel to our CineSticks but unlike our CineSticks, the resistance is fixed. They use a specialised silicone boot designed to give you the smooth control that standard little joysticks just aren't capable of.

In this set you get two sets of silicone boots; 1 set of Soft & 1 set of Firm CineSleeves.

These were designed originally for the older DJI controllers that have fixed sticks that don't unscrew. We've found that they work equally well with many other DJI joysticks as well so please check the compatibility section below for other compatible controllers as people test them out. The CineSleeves M1 keep the joysticks at the same height so they're 'thumber' friendly. 

You'll be able to achieve those cinematic movements such as pans, dollies, tilts and trucks without any of those little jitters that are so hard to avoid with standard joysticks.

We use specialised and super soft silicone rubber to give you the smooth motion you've been dreaming of. 

So why do we have these touchy, small joysticks?

When drone flying first started the majority were those homemade FPV drones and when they're raced they needed to be able to turn in microseconds, so it made sense to have such touchy joysticks.

Unfortunately, it seems that nobody at the drone manufacturers ever considered the kind of joysticks that would suit standard consumer drones (cinema drones) so we got lumped with these unsuitable sticks.

Not only are our CineSleeves M1 good for cinematic motion, but due to the very deliberate and smooth motion, we've found that newcomers to droning find they can get the hang of things far quicker.

How to use

Attaching to the CineSleeves M1

1. Remove the rubber grip on the joystick, otherwise, it will fall off when the sleeve is applied
   
   
2. 
   
   Stretch the CineSleeve over the Joystick and push the silicone boot down to the base 
3. Push the top of the CineSleeve down until the joystick just poke through.

Note: When using the CineSleeves, particularly with the Firm boots, letting go of the joysticks may not return to the centre exactly. Instead, you should bring the CineSleeves back to the centre and then confirm visually that there is no drift.

Note:

These videos are for the CineStick R2 version but the effective smoothing will be very similar with the CineSleeves.
