Bad video, Is it me?

[MrBigbe]

Can anyone tell me what the heck I am doing wrong

 

[MrBigbe]

Video is jumpy as heck, all in all it is just bad

Double Check and make sure you are using a Class 10 SD card that supports high data transfer rates.

I would consider removing that DJI logo from the videos unless you have specific permission to use it.

On that video I was using the card that came in the mavic. Not sure how to get the logo off as I sent it to you tube from my djigo4 app

Try flying in cinematic or tripod mode to slow down the stick response. What are your settings? ISO, SS, frame rate, ND filter? How fast are you flying? Have you reformatted the SD card in the drone? I think the rapid yaw motion is happening too fast for the gimbal to keep up so you get that jumpy look when it yaws quickly.

You say the video came from the DJI Go app. Were you using the video cached to your phone in the app or did you transfer it from the microSD card first?

 

[BD0G]

Apologies. I thought you added the DJI logo in post processing.

 

[MrBigbe]

I have a crystal sky

 

[MrBigbe]

I am not sure , where I pulled it from. I know I put the SD card in my crystal sky. I then did the whole link the phone to the tablet thing and sent it to you tube.

 

[MrBigbe]

I will be honest I have only had my entire set up for a week. I know I was traveling at about 17 to 20 mph.

I just watch one of my videos that I posted on you tube and its doing the same as yours. I have 4 on you tube red under Glenn Sjoerdsma. So I went back in my files and watch before i posted it. It looks awesome, so that tells me something happen in the transfer over to you tube

Do you mean you have a microSD card in the Crystal Sky and that’s where the video came from, or you took the microSD card out of your Mavic, put it in the CS and transferred the video off of that card?

If the former, that’s your problem. You’re seeing the lower quality video that is sent back to the CS via radio. The video recorded directly to the microSD card in the Mavic is much higher quality.

I sent it to you tube from my djigo4 app

There's your problem.

It used the low resolution, stuttery live feed to generate that video, not the full quality footage from the card.

 

[4wd]

Yes this is the 720p cache for previews - not what is recorded at full resolution on the Mavic SD card.

 

[Gienn1762]

Watch your video before you posted on you tube, hows it look. I went from drone to my pc to you tube using card that came with drone. Video before I posted on you tube looks great. After looks just like yours

 

[trancer5007]

How did you record your video straight down versus the front angled view?

If I'm not mistaken, the default resolution on the DJI Go4 app is 720p. I would consider a change to different rendering software, like Resolve 15 (-free), and while there's a learning curve, you'll be infinitely more satisfied with the end results. The Mavic Pro is capable of crazy sharp images, but you must have it set up correctly. My video settings are:
Manual mode
ISO 100 -200 for best images (-use lowest ISO possible) ND filters almost always to get the proper 1:2 ratio
Shutter to around 60 (-should not be more than twice the frame rate)
Set white balance for ambient conditions (-Plenty of Youtube videos to show you how)
Set 4k/24 fps (4096x2160 (2.7k is great too)

Now for your jerky remote responses:

Go to ADVANCED, then EXP to adjust sensitivities
Throttle down - 0.25
Rudder Left - 0.20
Backward/Left - 0.25

Sensitivity
Attitude (-how aggressive it reacts to control input) = 100
Brake - 130
Yaw Endpoint - (left/right rotation limit) - 50
Urgent Stop Mode = DON'T set to "always", set to "Breakdown"

Gimbal Settings (-the camera icon)
Gimbal Tilt Limit - OFF
Gimbal start/stop buffer - 18
Gimbal Pitch EXP - 23
Gimbal Taw settings - ON
Gimbal Pan Synchronous Follow - ON

These will smooth things out for you, and you can tweak from there. Everyone's different.

And don't film the thing downward only. Hard to watch. Our brains need context etc. There's a million videos online on framing shots with drones Tilt up slightly and it wouldn't make me feel nauseated the tips already provided will help gimbal speeds etc.

How did you record your video straight down versus the front angled view?

I am confused by ur question. You can point the camera straight down.

 

[sjnovakovich]

Your shutter speed may be too fast for the video. It should not be faster than twice the frame rate. To slow the shutter down when it is bright out, you should us an ND filter.
