...certainly agree with you.... since the latest firmware upgrades it's incredibly stable to fly. That's what's so frustrating. ..you end up with this beautiful flying craft that produces unpredictable footage.

Hi there, Kranmc...I live in a pal country....I've found that keeping the camera at 50fps/100iso gives me the largest number of usable clips. To achieve that I've bought an nd 4,8,16 and 32. I shot something the other day at 50fps but had to up the iOS to 200 to get the exposure right and the...

Yes, that's my biggest problem with the p4...one minute it's beautiful, the next rubbish...it's sold on djis website as delivering "sharp, clean video at up to 4k"..this is completely misleading advertising. ..it should be "sharp, clean video on occasions but expect just about anything most of...

I totally agree with you. ..dji advertising is extremely misleading..showing all this beautiful footage. .that's why I bought my phantom; directly from what I saw on their website...it didn't say this is the best shot we found amongst a selection of duds!!

I should have added that staying strictly at 50/s shutter and never going above 100 iso returns a greater number of decent usable takes...sometimes that's not practical in a professional situation.

Hi alex. ..I don't expect perfection...just consistancy of sharpness through footage.

The whole process has left me very wary of dji.

I tried to return mine..as part of the process the company gave me another to see if the good one minute, terrible the next compression was unique to mine...the new one was just as bad...the conclusion from my supplier and the new zealand agent...that's obviously what they're like so we won't be...

I can't speak for others but my 4k quality varies between super sharp but full of moire and aliasing and completely soft and mushy...if I shoot of 50fps and iso anything can happen. If they're all like this then it's a rubbish product. My one does not deliver consitant enough quality to be used...

I'm thinking of going with a P3P if they offer a replacement. .do you think they perform better in terms of compression and consistently sharp video?

Hi alex...I've had months of frustration with the poor video quality from my p4...the people I bought mine from are finally taking the issue up with dji...as I have very similar problems to what you experienced can you confirm that your replacement fixed your issues...I had the opportunity to...

Hi there...I've been reporting that problem for ages...people look at my videos and say there's nothing wrong with them!!! But the difference is huge..I've noticed it in 4k on the Phantom 4....it's got to be some kind of a bug....my stuff seems to be good all the time now as a result of watching...

Hi chris....I haven't tried d log for a long time...just gave up on it. There is quite a few posts on the net about it being broken on the phantom 4. I've been having a problem with two drones I've been using where, when shooting in 4K, the bit rate appears to lower....this is using all standard...

Hi there, achilles....I've been searching the forums for a while to confirm my thoughts re this bitrate issue. I've noticed it on my Phantom 4. One day I'd have great sharp footage in 4k and then the next day the footage looked soft and mushy. It was driving me nuts...I'd take the footage to the...

I think I may have narrowed down my issues with soft, smudgy video....there seems to be a link with the way I power the craft up and power it down as to whether the problem reproduces itself...it's either that or an issue with the go app on my ipad mini 2. I thought back to when the problem...
