Hey guys,

I used the Mavic today but when I watched the video, I saw this ugly green part. Is it an issue with the camera? I didn't fly with the plastic bubble.

Thanks!

You're looking directly into the sun.  All lenses have internal reflections to a certain degree when facing a bright light.  I'd call it normal.

It seems like the lens flare, did you fly it the gimbal cover? Please try to fly it without the gimbal cover. And other suggestion is to avoid direct sunlight to the camera.

at about 45 degrees either side of direct sunlight this lens flare will occur. With nd filters it will still occur but not so heavy as without. It is lens flare. It happens in a small window - find where that angle is and either avoid filming in that zone or prepare for it and take counter measures. I either drop my camera to face more down going through this zone or i pan through it - means i know its comming so i just keep panning till its past before i can stop the pan.
