Cool use of time lapse.

Nice vid!

To the best of my knowledge, there is no hyperlapse mode on the Mavic Mini.
Instead, this appears to be a continuous Mavic Mini video, altered in post with speed ramping.

That is correct.
My hyperlapses are video sped up.
I do not care if anyone thinks the true definition of hyperlapse is stitched pictures in a video.
I could never get a hyperlapse past 15 seconds on one battery with that method.
Plus no matter how much I try to stabelize in Adobe it looks like stop motion.

So, hyperlapse is when the video moves fast and the camera moves as well.

Of course.... that’s why I used the term “time lapse”.

Sorry, my bad. However, now we know how it was done, which is far more important to me than splitting hairs over the terminology, since we are creatives, not linguists!

It's the result and not the terminology that counts!

Exactly!
Hyperlapse should be smooth as glass...
...not stop motionesque

Only advantage of shooting a hyperlapse manually is to create a 4K video instead of the 1080p DJI automated hyperlapse. Might as well shoot it in 4K to start, and just speed it up, for a higher resolution output, in one tenth the time!

I shoot in 2.7 with the mini and upscale to 4K60
Turning out really good so far.

Given the Mavic Mini 40 Mbps max video bitrate and max fps of 30fps at 2.7K, I would think that upscaling to 4K @60 fps would really be badly degraded, and would not match any 4K 60fps video recorded at 100 Mbps from the P4P or the Mavic Air, which are the only DJI consumer drones that can record 4k 60fps. YMMV.

Agreed. I have never understood the usefulness of this feature..
