Good stuff Joe!
Glad that worked for you.
Looking forward to see more of your videos.

Hi Joe, did you just go 30FPS or also in NTSC?
You can’t select 30FPS when set to PAL, you can’t select 25fps when set to NTSC …. so it has to be a both or neither.
Can only get 30fps with NTSC. This config works well for me. I just need to keep shutter speed down with use of ND filters.
I forgot this limitation with the MP… The M2P does allow 30FPS Pal… but my video is crazy choppy and regularly I get what appears to be lost key fame where I get strange washes of colour for a moment across the image. Not only is this noticeable when yawing, but also its noticeable when flying forward or a bird flies across the camera. The footage looks really bad on a 4K 55" screen.
I’m using an A-Data UHS-2 card capable of transferring over 150MB/s. I’ve tried…
several memory cards
I use filters and keep the shutter speed at 2x FPS.
Windows media player
DIVX media player
VLC
KODI
Still the footage appears choppy. So far, I’m not impressed with the cameras on the Mavic series.
Have a look through this post from the other day, and see if there’s anything there to help … I’m thinking refresh rates or, as a couple of people have indicated, the TV sharpness settings introducing “effects”.
It’s taken me the best part of 6 months before I finally worked out the best setup for my MP. At first I thought I’d have to send it back , but @OzoneVibe recommended I try 30fps. My last vid (not published yet) is on par with the best 4K vids I’ve seen on YouTube so I’ll definately hang on to my MP even when I upgrade to possibly a MP 2.

I’ve just put up a new thread to ask if someone with an M2P can lend me some raw footage… Will see if its my early Sony 4K TV that is the issue.

I can give you a clip later after work
Did you record in 10bit? (Dlog-M and HLG)
H.265 10bit files require a crazy amount of processing to decode.
Playback is choppy on my laptop, haven’t tried the TV but could later.

This juddering problem has many causes including SD card speed, encoding, pc power. The problem is also caused by a mismatch of the frame rate and shutter speed used to shoot the video. This is why shooting at higher frame rates often seem to cure the problem. It can, but only by chance. If you keep the shutter speed at double the frame rate you won’t have the problem. It happens for a mathematical reason - instead of having exact divisions (eg 1-60th shutter and 30 frames per second) you have ‘divisor remainders’ and this causes the footage to go out of sync and judder. This is why the Mavis 2 pro is so good - you can set the frame rate and the shutter speed and then control exposure using the adjustable aperture. Using an ND filter is a must for very bright conditions.

My last footage (not yet posted) shot at 30fps with ND8 and the quality was very satisfying .
