Extreme FLICKER in INSPIRE 1 4k footage

Drone GUY Vancouver · Mar 10, 2015

Hi everyone, DJI support is saying 'we don't see the flicker', can you watch the UNLISTED youtube link below and tell me if you see a flicker?

8 people at my office can see it.

This was filmed manual mode, 4k, the clip was not compressed in any way before posting

Is this the standard of footage I should expect? It is simply not useable

What I see most is the ugly youtube compression... Any way to post the original file?

I've experienced that in my raw footage too. There were moving clouds above causing it on the day I was filming.

grass is one of the toughest things to record, lots of detail, and when you have cloud shadows moving on the grass its a lot for a camera, plus the forward motion of the camera,I have some similar footage.
i think we are seeing the limits of the camera, but it looks like it was shot in auto. you might get better results in manual mode with a 180deg shutter log color, -2 color, -2 contrast.

Just downloaded and watedch it. I can see in thru the entire video, its at its worse from 18 to 20 second mark

That would be the auto exposure adjusting... well exposure, in relatively big steps because the scene brightness varies a lot.
You'd indeed want to lock exposure or go full manual in such a scenario.

Maybe made more apparent by the 24p framerate too.
