Help! Jerky footage + CPU Usage

Mikewilltakeyouto · Jul 9, 2017

I've been flying quite abit and after the recent updates, I can't get solid footage. The footage often comes out jerky... I have tried resetting my phone/drone, updated everything.

In this video the footage is jerky, but so is footage out in the green paddocks with no buildings near by. I have this problem when I fly 50 meters away or 1KM away regardless. I can't seem to find a solution...

Can anyone help?

Also I have received the warning of CPU Usage being full, I'm using an iPhone 6, and never had this issue until the recent update, possible causing jerky footage?

Is that your phone/device video?
Is it the same when your plug the SD card to a PC or Mac?

Not every time, but it's still jerky too often

Yikes that is nasty. Are you using iOS 11 Beta?

Did you try clearing video cache or re-formatting the card?

Seems like the latest update ruined it for you....sorry to hear that.
Last resort....try a diff card maybe?

I always use the sdcard formatter from the sdcard association. It sets the correct block size etc. I have seen read and writes drop to 30% of advertised speed when using the standard windows OS format command. It's a free download - mac and windows.

SD Card Formatter - SD Association

I first noticed a similar issue a few years ago with my GoPro cameras - the correct formatting tool resolved the issue.

Wait I'm confused. Is this the raw footage from the card, or the cached footage on the phone?

Raw footage from sd card

So that's usually a symptom of the card being too slow to write to. Try reformatting the card with the software mentioned by @Skrems and upload a picture of your SD card.
