Verification of video recording fps

James Kneebone

In another thread (https://support.dronelink.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360037576713-Maybe-not-a-bug-but-another-failed-mission-), there was talk about getting a dataset of what fps settings work with each of the video modes.

I have started the process to collect this information. I only have a Mavic Air so I have completed that section. I would welcome assistance from others that have different drones. All information about what is supported etc. has come from the specs on DJI website.

In terms of usage:

Dronelink repository:

1. There are some public repos I have made available that have each of the settings. For 2.7K, because DJI has three different resolutions, there are three tabs.

2. Copy the plan to your own repository. If the 2.7K one you may need to change the specific resolution to the one you are testing (default is 2720x1530).

3. Take off with the drone, hover and load each plan one by one and test. It will either be 'accomplished' or 'failed' due to the fps / resolution not supported.

 

Spreadsheet:

1. There is an 'index' tab saying what has been tested, not yet tested or not applicable.

2. There is a tab for each of the different resolutions for Spark, Mavic and Phantom drones (I will add Inspire etc. soon).

3. On each of the tabs it either has 'NS' - Not supported on the drone (such as 50ps on 4K for Mavic Air). Any that need to be tested are blank. Following testing, it will either be 'Y' - yes it works or 'N' - no it does not work. As an example, Mavic Air on 4K works with 23.976fps but not 24fps.

4. Update any that you can, if you have tested all of them, update the index page as well to say 'Tested'.

2.7K repository: https://app.dronelink.com/ingoldsby/verify-camera-recording---2-7k

FHD repository: https://app.dronelink.com/ingoldsby/verify-camera-recording---fhd

Sing out if something is amiss. I will update the sheet with C4K (4096x2160) plus the other DJI drones.
