How is it that the video that records to my phone is not an accepted format for posting on this forum? To date, the only way I've been able to post, (whith my admitted lack of tech awareness), is by first posting to youtube and then posting the link. It would be so much more streamlined to simply upload the video directly from my phone. Agree? Disagree? Have a better way that I don't know about? I'd love to hear it!

I don't fly a Mavic but for me, the video on the phone is lower resolution and tends to be jumpy and incomplete. Not the sort of Academy Award-winning cinematography that we strive for here (j/k).

Hello there Dark Horse. Good day and thank you for these information that you have given. In posting videos here at DJI Forum you need to upload the said video to a video hosting site like SkyPixel or Youtube, then just put the link here at DJI Forum and it will embed. Thank you and fly safe always.

Because no video format is accepted.
The forum doesn't want the hassle of storing gigabytes of video files when you can upload somewhere else and post a link.
That's very common these days.
