In one of your photos, the screw head(s) look a little bit like they are rusty. Have you had them out in the rain? Possibly it is just what it looks like on my screen. I saw them and immediately thought the heads looked like they may be rusty, but I can't imagine you would be flying with rusty...

Hi Again - When I was using Final Cut Pro I ran across a setting somewhere about using h.264 or h.265. Now, I admit, I do not remember where that was, but I believe I was combining three video clips separated from from one flight. I'm pretty sure I used H.264 and the combined full length flight...

ZmoothOperator - Thank you soooo much for the tips and directions on the Fly app. I have a lot to learn and these directions are most helpful. I will have to check them out next time I take a flight and to a recording. I can only learn so much by reading the 'manual' which is essentially not...

SethB - thank you for the simple explanation of upgrading a software decoder. I certainly have a lot to learn about recording videos and processing them. I have used Final Cut Pro and combined all three parts of my originally Mavic 3 recording once I change it over to a 4k video. The combined...

Thank you slup. I always pay attention to the speed class and the UHS & Video speed class. I became accustomed to that when shooting photos with my digital camera years ago. That is a great little chart. Sorry for taking so long to respond. Among other things, my wife wanted to 'spruce up' a...

Wow, they surely must be. This is all almost over whelming to an older rookie like me! Is there a memory card brand better for taking drone videos over other brands?

Slup - I was not aware that video files can only be so large and then the video is split into several different files automatically. Oh my goodness, I am learning so much and have so much more to learn. Thank you very much for all the information you have given me. You and the others have been...

SethB - Thanks for letting me know the 2012 Mac does not have the h.265 hardware encoding, so now I know and appreciate the information. It's also interesting that different computer manufacturers can choose whatever encoder they want and for the format they choose. Also interesting that...

Marc & Slup - I am very aware of how resolution effects file size from all my digital camera work. My latest camera shoots at 45 MB per shot and I shoot all my photos in RAW. That makes them very large especially after I post process them! Hence, that is one reason why I use fairly large...

Dave - That is what I had done last night. I used Quicktime and converted the three 2.29 minute portions of my 5.1k video into 4k and the three videos played very smoothly without any glitches or problems. I will have to combine them using Final Cut Pro or iMovie to make my original 8 minute...

Quite frankly, I do not know if I recorded in H265 or H264. The reason being, I am quite new doing videos and I do not know how to check that or even see what codec I am using. I just hit the record button on my controller that came with the Mavic 3 and then get a video of the flight. If you...

Last night before going to bed, I brought my 5.1k video into Quicktime. There, I converted it to 4k video and then played it. It played just like it should - smooth as can be and no jerkiness or any other types of flaws. I actually had three 2.29 minute 5.1k videos that I converted from that...

Thanks Slup, for all the excellent information. Oddly enough, I have a 3rd cousin who is Swedish and I email him back and forth almost every day. No, I’m not sure my iMac can handle the 5.1 K video, but just naturally assumed it could. It is at least 6-7 years old, probably older. It is a...

I just received my Mavic 3 and took it out for a short test flight. I was recording a 5.1K video with 50 FPS. Every half second it would jerk on my video when using my iMac and in Quicktime as well as in Lyn. It was extremely annoying and worthless video! On my iPhone 8 the live flight video...
