Finally flew from the boat! Sad about the results

:confused: I finally plucked up courage to fly the Mavic Air from the boat and caught it! Got some amazing footage but, sad to say, it is all jerky. I think it may be something to do with dropped frames as I recorded in 4K (thinking it was my only chance and probably wouldn’t do it again) If only I’d recorded in 1080p.
Any ideas how to fix? Here’s a short clip.

Damn, is that straight off the Air, no editing?

Great video as well.

I think your diagnosis is correct … 3840x2160 would probably have been OK.
Have no idea how you can fix, tho, sorry.

LUVERLY boat, btw … and perfect conditions!

Was it immediately after reformatting the card? That can sometimes help at 4k.

On a more interesting tack (:wink: ) … whereabouts was that? Looks beautiful!

Not sure about the film issue. But love the boat… :heart:

Don’t suppose you need an experienced deck hand?

Hi Callum, yes, that’s as it is, although it’s now in 1080p to upload to Vimeo. There is a video repair app called Stellar, but its £37 and I’m not convinced it will work. I’ve got some other lovely clips and its all jerky :disappointed_relieved:

Did you have video caching on?

Any video you can recover from app? I know it’s only 720p but better than nothing.

Thanks Ozone. The conditions were great, just enough wind for the sails, not enough to blow the MA away! I’ll post the catching video - it was soooo stressful!

Cheers Turbys9. She’s a Varne 27. Actually looks better from a distance!

That’s a good idea. I haven’t turned it off, so I guess it’ll be there. Not sure how to get at it though.

It was at Oban, West Scotland. We’re so lucky to be living here, apart from the rain!
This was where we had lunch!

I always have it switched off but maybe someone else will be able to point you in right direction.

Have you seen the new map feature Ash?

What did you use to get it to 1080?

Can you upload the raw/source to Dropbox and share a link?

My pin on the map stands out like a sore thumb :joy:

Always glad to meet up Dave. That reminds me I haven’t put a pin in yet.

If only I could find out how to do it, I’m not very bright.
