Phantom 3 Pro Grainy + Rolling shutter?

pilotblue · Oct 31, 2016

Hey! First post... wish it was more positive

My Phantom 3 Pro has been getting really bad grain and this rolling shutter / glitchy issue noticeable while monitoring and also on the recorded video.

The following clip is shot at 4k 100 ISO with a ND8 filter

Bad camera? Whats going on?

Hard to see much from that tiny clip with it yawing violently about.
Could be prop flicker.

Back off the speed for starters, was it windy too? Maybe you're asking too much of the machine?

Might be an issue with your shutter speed being set to long, both grain and rolling shutter effect. Ideally, the shutter speed will be about twice your video frame rate. I typically try to set my shutter speed at twice my video frame rate....somewhere between 1/60th to 1/120th of a second.

Ahhh prop flicker, makes sense. Knew there had to be a name for it. I'll keep a closer eye on the shutter speed.

I also just ordered a faster extreme pro SD card, we'll see if that helps

kept the shutter at 120 and it was overcast so I'm pretty happy with the results. Still a lil grainy but I suppose thats due to the small sensor
