My first Mavic Air video

[Mavic_Dan]

Hi all,
Here's my first video attempt with my MA. I seem to get some sort of 'interference' with my scenes involving trees which is very obvious in the video.

If someone can advise me on what I did wrong to get those wavy or jittery trees, that would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

I liked the footage of all the ships with, what I assume to be kite surfers in the foreground. If I got chance I’d fly further out over the sea and get more of that

Hi @dannybgoode,
You're right, those are kite surfers. Couple of reasons I didn't venture out further.

It was my first real flight and I was afraid of losing control of my drone. So I was playing it very safe by not venturing too far out to sea. Haha! The winds were kind of strong that day and so I want to make sure I don't have problems flying it back.

Also, it was very sunny and I couldn't see my screen very clearly, so a lot of guessing work and looking up at my MA. Wasn't able to think clearly...

One word. Fear. Lol.

Will try again on my next trip to that location.

Thanks for the advice!

My guess is that this was recorded in a compressed format like mov or MP4. When there's a great deal of fine detail it may create some CPU lag in the processing of the compression. I am no expert by any means, but I hear about people recording in raw mode, so I'm betting that this is the issue.

Hi @DanMc
The Mavic Air only allows for video recording in MOV or MP4 format. RAW is for stills only. So I guess that rules it out. I've read somewhere in this forum that it could be due to the propeller shadows or something like that. Got to try it out in different scenarios and see if the problem persists.
