I've been experiencing intermittent problems with flickering video for several years, at first it was so infrequent it didn't bother me but over time it's become a lot more pronounced.  As you can see from the clip it's pretty bad but it doesn’t happen all of the time, in fact it usually only happens once or twice during an entire shoot.  I have the exposure set to manual, ISO is 100 and shutter speed is 120, it's being captured at 4K-60 FPS as a MP4.  I’m afraid it’s a problem with the camera sensor but I can’t explain why it only happens intermittently, anyone seen this before?   

  

NOTE: watch in 1080p

Welcome Floreto , hope it helps !!

JetSam, so what I'm experiencing is a failing in the codec, does the .mov codec work better than the .mp4?  

Try setting your colour temperature to manual.

to the best of my knowledge: it depends on the postproduction work, mov for mac and Mp4 for Windows

The video is the same, whether MP4 or MOV, the only difference is the 'container' the file sits in. Most of the world uses MP4, but Apple just had to be different, hence MOV.

I'll try this, just so I can understand why do you think this is the issue?

There was an issue with the P4 model aircraft where automatic white balance caused the image to 'pump' and change quickly. This may not be the cause in your case, but it is worth checking to see if it solves the problem. Setting it to manual white balance solved the problem.

Hi. I am sorry for the trouble your DJI Phantom 4 Pro has caused you. As Geebax advised at post #13, please try to set the white balance manually. If the issue still persists after this step, kindly please try to refresh the firmware of your DJI Phantom 4 Pro using the DJI Assistant 2 to isolate the issue. Please keep us posted for further assistance. Thank you.
