Video Lag

[Vanman3456]

Hi. I'm new to drones and this site. I'm having an issue with the video being very choppy. It seems to be lagging and when I watch the video it shows the lag. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Are you seeing the lag from the sd card? What device are you using? What firmware is on it?

As I'm watching the video on the phone it is choppy and freezes. Also the video that records is the same

Don't do that.

What is actually recorded is on the SD card in the Phantom, you need to play that on a computer.

Also look here for mobile device fixes.

If people say there video is poor from the SD card, then I tell them to set the video recording to lowest resolution. Older computers can't process the large data files either.

Thank you for the info. I will check the videos on the SD card and see if that is choppy. I'll let you know what happens.

I had this issue at one time and found it was my cable on my P3 pro. If you are using WiFi, try restarting the controller and drone.
