So, the issue I am having is pink bars, semi circular noise patterns and general large scale noise intermittently.

I am a photographer and have had the Mavic for a couple of weeks.  

I noticed on about day two a strange semicircular noise pattern.  I thought maybe it was some sort of glitch with obstacle avoidance as the interference looked a lot like the semicircular obstacle warning.  Then it got worse with each flight.  The mavic has never been crashed.  Never been dropped.  Never even heard a discouraging word.

This is 30 seconds from todays flight.

Any advice will be appreciated, but I have a feeling what the resolution to this will be......

Is that video from SD card or phone cached

This doesn't seem good and i don't think a new install of firmware or reset will resolve this issue. I would contact DJI.

Could you please upload the original videos from SD card to dropbox or google drive then send me the link?
I'll help to check it.

Yeah thats not good.... maybe your camera ribbon cable is damaged

Would say the same. Defective camera cable or interference due to insufficient shielding. Whatever, something is broken and needs to be fixed.

Some of the semi circular patterns look like prop reflections or prop shadows across the lens.  Are you using a lens filter?  Is the clear gimbal cover attached?  Wiring defects or interference should not cause these patterns.  Is the video from the stream (phone) or from the SD card?   Lots of questions to be answered before advice can be given.

Video is from the Mavics SD card.  Edited in Premier Pro just to cut down to the 30 sec clip.  ND 16 filter, no gimbal cover.  Shot in 4K CeniLike profile.  Shutter speed 1/60th, ISO 100.  Pattern appears in ALL color profiles, including DLOG.  Wind 8-12 MPH, temp 58 degrees F.  DJI Go app showed the exact same anomaly on the phone.

Hi. Just an advice to get a quick answer: reply to Mindy's last post instead of creating a new post. Moderators usually monitor replies only. Good luck.

DJI Mindy, not sure why that didn't work, please try this one:


Google drive

The fun really starts right about the 14 second mark.

This looks like a type of electrical interference.  Yes, it looks a little "proppy", but this is electrical, not "photographic".  Makes me think of the "twisted wire issue" in some of the Mavs before they discovered the problem.

It seemed that the video you uploaded still was not the original one. It's likely the camera sensor doesn't work very well. Have you tried to reset the camera setting in APP or refresh the firmware?

As the pilot is facing away from the sun, i doubt it is any prop reflection,  it appears  electro-mechanical as a heavy power interference, or similar , often see it on poorly set up race quads,  never seen on my mavic.
