Thanks, but see post #11 :)

My iPad is nearly dead. I shall return to this thread later with some charge :)

H264

That footage actually looked smooth. I’m not getting anywhere near that irrespective of ground or panning speed.

The stuttering is evident before the image reaches my computer. Even on 1080p playback on the Smart Controller, I can see all of the stuttering taking place. I just get to see it bigger and sharper on my Mac when I review the footage proper. But, as I keep saying, it’s not a problem unique to...

That wasn’t my video. It was posted on these forums earlier. I just used it as an example. But I have seen similar things on actual ND filter tutorials on YouTube. Where the virtues of the filters are being extolled, and the stuttering is still evident. I’m pretty sure that the hardware doesn’t...

I’m flying with a Freewell Variable ND filter, with a frame rate of 25fps, and a shutter speed of 50. Motion blur is my friend, but I cannot get it. I’m getting stuttering instead. And so are most folk. Honestly, go on YouTube and look at most of the footage out there with a critical eye...

But that’s kind of my point..... It’s not just my problem. I’m seeing it everywhere. And yes, I could find ways of minimising the effect in post, but if any animals or people are in shot then it’s Charlie Chaplin time. The old video I posted was just shot, and edited, in real-time. A...

Glad you’re not spoiling for a fight, lol. Neither am I, I’m just confused as to why everyone seems happy with what appears to me to be a backward step. And yes, it’s the stuttering that you eluded to that is the problem. Maybe my “jerky footage” description was a bit deceiving.

For a point of reference, this is an old video of mine, shot on the old, Mavic Pro. It’s not great, by a long shot, but it exhibits the degree of smoothness that I cannot come close to with the M2. The only videos I’ve seen that seem glassy-smooth shot on an M2 have been low-light affairs...

The problems I’m seeing are not gimbal related. They are not created by the turbulent air, or anything like that. They are produced by the hardware being unable to render what it is capturing. The faster the craft goes, the more evident the problem seems to become. But it is evident with any...

..... is the Mavic 2 range trying to punch above it’s weight? Let me explain: I recently posted a thread concerning jerky footage. I wanted to know what I was doing wrong, and what I could do to improve things. I had a few very helpful suggestions. But nothing really made any difference to...

I just bought a set of the Freewell Variable ND Filters for the MP2 Zoom. Truly excellent. I am very, very pleased with them. And the real beauty is that there are just 2 filters that cover the full range, ND2 right through to ND512. So chances are, unless conditions change massively, just...

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I think my original post is being misinterpreted. If you check the video I posted, you will see that it is not a “stick” issue. I know how to pilot the drone for smooth footage. The problem is in the way the camera is capturing the footage. Pans look like...

I bought the Zoom over the M2 Pro because I didn’t want the extra overhead of requiring a more powerful computer to process the more demanding footage. When everything gets compressed on YouTube anyway, I can’t really see many advantages over the Zoom.
