Burst rate and recovery on Mavic 4 Pro

[offtheback]

Manual says 3,5,or 7 frames per second(assuming fast enough shutter speed).With the fastest card does anyone know how quickly you can take the next series of shots?

That's going to depend on the resolution of the images and whether you are recording jpg or dng or both.

I'm shooting surfing and prefer raw but will take standard jpg's for a faster clearing rate.I've not seen any data from DJI or other source.I'm spoiled by shooting with an Olympus mirrorless where I can shoot 10 FPS raw for about 10 seconds+ and buffer clears immediately.I've shot with a Mavic 2 Pro but the wait is about 3 seconds to clear and it's often better to shoot single frame and follow the surfer for 2 or 3 more shots.

I presume the recovery rate is faster using the internal SSD for storage than any card. Have you tried that?

I have not.Thanks for the suggestion.

It is documented that you will have faster recovery with the internal memory. Have tested it and it is much faster.

Even with the SSD it feels like an eternity when shooting bracketed shots. It's probably at least 5 seconds before you can do the next shot. Probably much faster if you shoot with the lower megapixel setting.

If you are shooting bracketed shots in the 100MP setting, it will obviously take 4x as long as bracketed shots in the native sensor resolution of 25MP, regardless of where you record them.
