Why we always fly 60 Frames -

The beauty of 4K is in the details

Being able to scroll thu your footage on a time line you can really see what it is you captured.
A 20 minute flight in the storm provided some interesting pictures straight of the time line.

Taking the time to scroll thu frame by frame we were able to get these gems

Here is the video from both outside and inside the storm keep in mind that this was shot in almost pitch black conditions. 3:am Tornado Warnings

Nice shots!

How did you shoot in 4K - 60fps on the M2?
Did I miss something (very possible!)

btw, I really like your M2 lander product

Phantom 4 pro : H264 is showing why that 4K 60 has some advantages.
Let me know when your ready for the Sea Lander we offer a discount to the forum members.

Thank you.

Which Mavic shoots 4K 60fps?

 

[Checki]

No mavic.

I fly 2,7k 60fps, just a tiny loss of detail, if any, but much smoother.

I agree, the OP starts with this statement "The beauty of 4K is in the details", since no Mavic shoots 4k 60fps I don't understand the connection to Mavics. Can't have both 4K and 60fps.

Even though 4K video on both 30 and 60 looks compelling, when it comes to choosing frames in 4K the 60 frames has the advantage .

Since you are in a Mavic forum talking about the advantage of shooting in 4k at 60fps which no Mavic can do, what are you suggesting; that Mavic owners abandon their Mavics for something else? What would you suggest is currently better than a M2?

We fly the Mavics 80% of the time, however we did notice that having those extra frames give us a little bit more detail when trying to capture some epic pictures which has proven to be the only advantage of the extra frames besides some smoother slow motion.

As far as suggestions go: Keep your Phantom 4 Pro's and hope for the Updates on the Mavics because good 4K is in the details.

Thanks for telling us, phantom 4 is better in this regard!
I mean, we all know about that, but I don't want to hear it ?

Even though 4K video on both 30 and 60 looks compelling, when it comes to choosing frames in 4K the 60 frames has the advantage .

Given that the bitrate is 100mbps either way, while you may have more frames to choose from at 60fps, at 30fps, each still frame is actually capturing twice as much data as it would at 60fps, and will therefore create an acceptable print in a much larger size. Also at 60fps, your slowest video shutter speed is 1/60th, which will loses a stop over 1/30th at 30fps, which impacts night flying, raising the ISO, and ultimately maxes out the ISO one stop sooner. It's definitely a trade off. No clear winner.
