OK turns out DJI are better at making quads than they are cameras... Lots of Inspire 1 owners complaining of the same thing as that also has a 60mbps bit rate and lots of compression artifacts. oh well. good drone for my use, just camera not ever gonna be great.

Yes exactly. For definitive proof. See the two still images below - taken less than half a second apart. You can see the detail totally lost. In fairness grass is quite a difficult scene, there is a lot of fine detail everywhere so you would expect compression to struggle here but the way it...

How do you guys deal with the sun? Flying with an Nvidia Shield and **** I can't see shiat. i need a decent sun solution.

It's not difficult to believe that DJI are setting the image performance of the P3 firmly below the Inspire for a reason. The camera on the P3 is definitely the weak link in what seems to be a really solid package all round.

Whenever someone mentions any issue with 4K, some wiseguy pipes up and says, it's not worth it, go back to using 1080p. LOL. I appreciate higher res. Lots of content creators are jumping to higher res broadcast because lots of computers now support it. Any recent mac supports well above 1080p...

If you are talking about rolling image shutter problem then I don't think it's that. I know what that looks like and it's not this, This problem happens mostly during fast pan/tilt or with lots of motion. in this case I'm pointing down at grass which requires a lot of bitrate to capture all the...

The best way I can describe it is the image seems to pixelate and you lose detail in the image. Here is a clip I put on youtube to show it. Youtube's own compression seems to cover the problem slightly but about 3 seconds in, the whole image fuzzes out, then comes back. this is visible much...

Yep exactly. And what happens when that bitrate limit is reached is really obvious with the P3P camera. Some cameras handle it better, this seems to drop out much worse than my GoPro black which also has a 60mbps bitrate.

You mean my shutter speed was too fast? That would show an underexposed image, I'm not seeing that. I'm seeing very obvious compression artifacts, that is a bitrate issue and nothing else.

Had my P3P for a couple of days and some some flying. Noticed a number of times in my footage that the bit-rate of the video seems to drop out briefly and result in some really horrible and obvious compression artifacts in the footage. For example if you fly forward with the camera pointing...
