Interesting, I am using a Lexar 1000x U3 card.

I was testing the Quickshot modes on my Mavic Pro yesterday and things got a bit weird when I went back to normal video. It looks like after exiting Quickshot, something glitched and caused the recorded video to be treated like Quickshot final products and took the gimbal with it. I saw the...

Is this why people insist on keeping their guns? I hope my future home in CO doesn't have this type of problem.

Great contest, nice shots everyone
