Hi all,

I have a Lexar633x (64gb) UHS-1 (10) SD card which I would have though is capable of 4K at 60fps but I'm not getting 60fps on any of the video options and that's with H.264 selected. The max it's showing on the app is 50fps.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

P.S - It's for the Phantom 4 Pro+

Tried Switching to ntsc?

Sounds like you are set for PAL and not NTSC?  50 fps is standard for PAL... 60 fps is standard for NTSC

Ah, that explains it then.

I must admit that I was somewhat confused by the option of PAL and NTSC as PAL is the standard format in Europe, I believe?

What's the point of offering the option of PAL and NTSC on the drone, out of curiosity?

apparently he is from the Netherlands, and there the standard is PAL, so he should have that selected, hence no 60 FPS...

Because the drone is not sold just i Europe.

Yeah but my point is this: if 60fps is not available on PAL, then why choose PAL when the final outcome is either MPEG 4 or .MOV anyway? Better off choosing NTSC regardless?

I see your point and then if this is the case, 50 fps will not be available to use on PAL format.  So for viewing on the PC or compatible devices he could change to NTSC for 60 fps I would guess.

All the best

Thanks for the replies. I'll shoot in NTSC in future. The final films will be shown on the interweb anyway, so I don't have to worry about the formats.

I did see a video on YouTube and the guy was having problems with a Lexar SD card. Try swapping the card to see if that helps.

There is no point at all in having the PAL or NTSC choice, as these are televison standards that are essentially obsolete and refer to Standard Definition television broadcast. As none of the Phantom series of aircraft can shoot in Standard Definition, they are not relevant.

I'm not an expert on movies or TV standards, but I think the reason why NTSC and PAL have different framerates may be related to the fact that in NTSC countries the standard for electric current is 60 Hz, while in PAL countries the standard is 50 Hz. Maybe framerates that "mirror" those frequencies have less flicker on the screen? Just an idea...
