Here's an update for anyone interested. I contacted DJI Support. They were excellent. The Dutch Support dept. was in touch with me throughout last weekend, agreed recording in PAL is faulty and, at this point, think it may be aircraft 'sensor'-linked. Two days later the I2 is on it's way to them...

I just repeated my test on my Mavic 3 at 25fps 50hz (PAL). Footage was smooth. I think whatever module controls video recording/encoding on my I2 needs replacing. I've contacted DJI and asked my dealer to ask them.

The f/ware won't roll back, unfortunately and I don't want to go 'off piste' to try to do it. DJI must sort it out. The fact that the cameras are fine in NTSC and jagged in PAL (regardless of whether I shoot 25fps or 30fps or whether I watch on a 50hz screen or a 60hz screen) really points to a...

Thanks for the time, effort and suggestions, Donnie. I think the fact that the issue is the same on both X5S and X7 rules out the camera. I have read that this kind of thing is not uncommon; but it's much worse than it was with my previous X5S pre-f/ware updates. I barely noticed it before; now...

Thanks, AAP. I used H264 to make things easy; frame rates as above - 25 and 30; shutter 180 degrees. If my issue was a common problem, I'd have thought the forums would be awash with it. But let's see..

Thanks for the thoughts, Donnie. I don't accept that this is par for the course. Both X7 and X5S are behaving in the same way - so it's not the camera. It's not right that it should be ok in NTSC and unusable in PAL. Check out these links to two clips I've dropped onto YT. One labelled NTSC and...

Ok, so I bought an X5S to try - same issue. Refreshed f/ware. No change. But, just discovered footage is almost completely smooth in the NTSC setting. In PAL - needed for UK - it's awful and not what I experienced pre latest s/ware. I am viewing on a 2018 Macbook Pro which has a 60hz refresh...

Here's a clip of my X7 shooting on dealer's I2. The stutteryness is still there. The conclusion is that this is normal for the X7:

Thanks Niki. I shoot 25/50/100 fps for Euro' PAL video standard. There was wind in the test but I get the same stutter even indoors; so it's not a wind issue. Rotors off, solid kitchen table, no fan noise. It's not mechanical that I can ascertain. It happens on both my and the dealer's...

Thanks for the comments. Visually, gimbal panning in both planes is completely smooth. I don't believe it's a mechanical/RC issue. The dealer is using my I2/X7 using his own controller, so I don't think it's controller. Re-installing I2 firmware is a good thought as is the Cinecore idea. I'll...

That clip was recorded by my dealer - the drone's with them right now. Yes same issue in the air. I'm a professional photographer/videographer and can make a super smooth pan without any mechanical stuttering. The gimbal settings were set for cinematic smoothness including at stop. I'll find...

Sorry folks, my partner's daughter just had emergency brain surgery which required my partner to fly UK to Australia and she's struggling, rather. She's had to set up a Just Giving page to raise funds to cover some of the med x's. As a result I've had to park this until now. Bench test is best...

Folks, I cannot get a smooth pan/drift/follow etc. either by camera movements or drone movements, on my X7. My dealer has been testing it and I've included a link to their test clips. It's unusable and the previous X5S on my Inspire 2 didn't suffer this issue. They've tested with my camera and...

Jumped the gun - still no recording to the SSD. Everything looks set correct. Pro res' license is recognised. SD is recording h265 in 4k, fine. 3840 showing in ssd settings and switched on (green). Tearing my hair out. Can anyone shed light? Photobeauty?

It worked! Thanks a lot Photobeauty. Off topic but we tested 422 and 4444 and found 4444 to give more detail. Is your experience different?
