So I recorded a bluebell forest earlier today and am trying to get it to look good on a YouTube channel I just set up. I've used Final Cut Pro and I set the project to the settings of the video it was filmed in, so 4K, 4096 × 2160 at 24p. I've then uploaded to YouTube via the Final Cut Pro...

I'm no expert but it looks like a mechanical wobble to me, not sure why though, if it was windy it would have shifted more. Beyond my pay grade, it could be small power surges, a motor that needs cleaning...anything...hopefully someone else can help out. Nice lights by the way. I'm thinking of...

Hi - i'm in an area with no wifi and no phone signal, can i still fly the drone and if so what are the best recommendations for safe flight? Any help would be great! Thanks :)

OK great thank you for clarifying, I'll just disable downward sensors.

Just a follow up question, do you need to turn off Landing Protection even if you intend to take off on land and ascend to say 25m then fly over the sea? Also is Landing Protection the same as downward sensors?

Those are some great tips, and really important to have known as I wouldn't have done any of that. Thanks!

OK, so I'm going abroad soon to Australia and am looking to get some great footage of the coast. I'm new to the Mavic anyway, probably 20 flights in, all over land and am really enjoying it, getting some good footage too now that I've understood the camera settings more. I will be totally new...

Hi Jimmer, Sure, the RMTP streaming option works well, its not too complicated to get working. Just make sure your Youtube is set for Live Streaming, if it is you have the Live Streaming option in the menu on the left in Youtube below Video Manager. Go into Live Streaming then scroll to the...

I think its fine, my live feed to the phone from the drone seemed to be displaying the feed being sent to youtube, so sometimes depending on your phone signal, the picture would be a bit pixelated and stuttery. But then it would be clear again the next moment. The only thing I did notice is...

So, 400 feet is the altitude limit in the UK and I'll always adhere to that. My question is, if you are on a clifftop, that is for example 100ft above the sea, when you take off, surely the drone will say 3ft in the air, then if you fly over the cliff edge, are you now in theory at 103ft? Just...

I had this problem too, and after much research concluded that DJI are aware of the problem and will address in next app update. In the meantime, I got streaming working to Youtube perfectly by using the RMTP link in Endcoder Setup on youtube, just use your RMTP link from there in the RMTP live...

OK so great news, I seem to have sorted this! Thank you to everyone for your tips and advice :) What I've done is change the video mode to NTSC and 4k at 30fps. I've also turned the camera into manual and set the ISO as low as I can and the shutter speed as high as I can, and level out the...

Thanks for the reassurance Rob. I'll have a go in the setting you suggested. I'm also getting the trial of Final Cut Pro so will see if i can post edit videos to help. I see so many ultra smooth Mavic videos online in 4k, is the smooth frame rate achieved in post video editing?

Thanks Rabid, i'm using normal settings, so not tripod mode or cinematic. I had a steady slow joystick input so i don't think its that. I did read that NTSC has more framerate options than PAL at only 24/25 fps, so i'm going to give NTSC a go and see what that does. Hoping to get sorted soon as...

Hi - I'm into my second week with the Mavic and loving it. However, i'm struggling to capture any footage that does not have stutter and jerking whenever i slow pan. I've tried multiple resolutions and its the same in all of them. I'm using PAL as am in the UK, and i also tried using 60hz...
