Hi guys,

my first post in this forum :) I had to open a new thread because I had no luck with the search function and even google didn't help me.

What's the issue?

My videos are full of Moiré. Do me a favour and look at this video (3 scenes):
Test footage.mp4
You'll see that the footage is really not nice to look at.

What did I do so far/ troubleshooting?
- Played with Sharpness, ranging from -2 to +2
-> No change
- Played with different ISO values and shutter speeds
-> No change
- Using ND filters and aiming for a shutter speed/ 2x frame rate
-> No change
- Refreshed firmware + reset camera settings
-> No change

Since when do I have this problem?
-> Since receiving a replacement drone after a warranty claim

I'm shooting in 4K/24fps, flickering at 50Hz and D-Cinelike. I didn't play with D-Cinelike or the video format/ resolution because I never had any issues like this before.

My question now is, do you have any hints? Could it be a faulty sensor of my replacement Mavic?

Thanks a lot guys!!!

Cheers,
Phillip

Are you talking about the low res. video from the phone/tablet or the HD video from the card on the drone?
 
Hi guys,

do you have any ideas how to solve my issue mentioned above? Have you ever heard of a faulty camera sensor?

Thanks!!

Cheers,

I downloaded it.
The bitrate of your edited render is low for 4K .
There doesn't seem anything much else wrong except it's a little flat.

On bright days try the sharpness at zero.
+1 sharpening will look crisper but you get a 'fizzy' look which benefits greatly from a little noise reduction software when editing.
If you can't do that use sharpen zero unless it's a gloomy day.

The other things you mentioned won't make much difference, but changing them randomly won't help - for the most part you are better just leaving it on Auto.

Flying over ten lanes of traffic between tall buildings is not too smart.
