DJI air 2 issue recording in 4K and 2.7K

[charles Chiodi]

Hi.

When I'm recording the video, some stuttering appears on the recording. In 4K and in 2.7K as well.

However in any other setting, the drone works just fine.

I'm using the recommended memory card for it.

Does anyone ever had a similar issue?

Thank you.

Are you filming in H.265? That codec will make playback tough for a lot of machines. If you did, you can use a converter such as Handbrake to render it to H.264 and it will play back better. Another reason for stuttering is caused by panning too quickly and too fast a shutter speed. ON the Air 2, if you film 4K 60, it only use H.265 so you don't have a choice.

Couple years back I used FFMPEG to convert h265 back to h264. And these days I just run h264 because of the nuisance factor of keeping multiple 30GB files. As an aside, its been my experience h265 playback is problematic in many PC apps unless the playback hardware has native h265 support and the software player knows about it.

Granted h265 can reduce in air judder/shuddering; not to be confused with playback stutter. 60Hz is just better than 30Hz.

One option is to slow the shutter speed to gain motion blur which can 'help' the human eye not detect the judder (eyes can't do much motion detection when the image is blurry). There are magic numbers for the shutter speed - many, in fact - depends on situation and specific preferences.

The other option is to understand the issue and pan slower so the frame rate can keep up.

ps: not all V30 cards are created equally. The Gigastone model of your's has this spec:

• [Speed] Read/Write up to 95/35 MB/s, V30 speed grade, Ultra HD (UHD) 4K video recording, UHD 4K gaming.

My preferred Samsung Pro Plus V30 card - with the same markings as yours - has this spec:

• Up to 180MB/s Read and 130MB/s Write speed with Class 10, V30 and U3 compatibility.
• High performance for 4K UHD video and photos and more with 10-Year limited warranty.
