Are you sure you don’t have it?
It’s discussed in a number of other forums (am I allowed to post a link?) including on the DJI forums.
I didn’t spot it in my footage until it was pointed out but it’s definitely there - and I’ve seen posts from people saying they didn’t have it - only for them to go back and check and realise it was there all along.
Sometimes it’s hard to see as the stripe depends on the background colour. It’s most obvious against a pure blue sky. Please do look back at your footage - zoom right in to the top left and see if you have it. It only appears in 4k mode and only in video, not stills.
Apparently DJI have confirmed it is a fault and said it would be fixed in their next firmware update - but sadly it hasn’t been.
Here’s a closeup of the top left - the artefact clearly visible.
How visible it is completely depends on the background colour.
So here’s a still a few seconds later. The artefact is presumably still there but because the sky in the top left is now grey, not blue, it’s hard to see.
From other threads it seems common for people to think they don’t have it only to find it. If anyone is sure they don’t have the glitch would be interesting to see a frame grab from a 4k with a clear blue sky with no artefact.
Yeah, I’ve yet to see 4K video from a Mini 2 that demonstrates someone not having this problem. Whatever the cause it’s clearly not an easy fix for DJI. Not entirely convinced that it can even be done in firmware.
@PingSpike and @milkmanchris - any chance you could post some frames from your Mini 2 (4k with a nice blue sky top left) so we can get to the bottom of this.
The DJI forum thread seems to conclude that all Mini 2’s have the fault so if there some units without that could be significant.
If you’re purely a leisure flyer I agree it’s trivial.
But if you’re planning to use the video for commercial purposes (even just to put videos on pond5 or youtube) it’s a pain.
Yes you can crop in but that’s an extra processing step and it mean you’ll never get true 4k when that’s one of the top selling points of the Mini 2.
It’s still an awesome drone - but it’ll be even better when (if?) they fix this.
