So, I did some flying yesterday with my mavic mini and naturally I wanted to record the flight. However, upon reviewing it on my computer (after transferring it to a local drive) I noticed that the video is choppy induration from anywhere from 3 to 4 seconds and it occurs anywhere from 8 to 10 seconds. No, when I purchased my mavic mini I'll admit, I didn't do my due diligence and research what kind of cards are best for the mini. So most likely it's consumer error. The car that I'm using is a 128 GB SanDisk extreme which has a right speed of up to 90 megabits per second. Is that enough for the mavic mini or is that card not fast enough to support 1080p at 60 frames per second? Thanks in advance.

Do you mean 90MB (Mega Bytes) per second? If so, that is 720Mb (mega bits) per second. 8 bits to the Byte.

Yes, I meant to correct that but I forgot to do so before I posted it. Thanks for the clarification.

So that should be plenty of recording speed. If you have the chance to try another card or re format the card in the drone and try again. You may find out where the problem is.

You haven't edited the video and converted it at different frame rates? Is it the original video that is choppy? The card is good enough, it could also be the player with which you are viewing the video. Try playing it on a different player on the PC or on the TV.

First, I wanted to thank everyone for replying and trying to give me suggestions I definitely appreciate it. In the meantime I did try different cards and different media players on my PC and found varying performance between them. I found that VLC seems to handle this file format the best and playback is nice and smooth. Also, this is the original files they were not altered in any way. Thanks again for everyone's help.
