Hi.
I have a Phantom 4.
firmware 1.9.2 and 602
iphone 5s and ipad 3 mini

The camera does video with continuous blinking and flickers.
On any modes - auto or manual. With AE lock On and OFF.
Change white balance - auto or manual. Blinking.
Always blinking on all my videos with PAL or NTSC, Auto or manual exposition, white balance, etc.
Any idea?

youtube stabilize blinking - in original video its more strong

There's  also a bit of interference at about 28s on the first video, was that from the SD card ?

At the start of the third video I can see some darker banding which I believe is prop' shadows  reflecting on the filter. That can be partly reduced or avoided by tilting gimbal down a bit amongst other things. Do you use automatic settings on camera regarding shutter speed, with no ND (Neutral Density) filters ?

The best thing to aim for is setting the shutter speed to 'about' half the frame rate, and using ND filters to reduce the light coming into the fixed aperture P4 camera. Locking the WB either manually or one of the pre-sets (Usually 'Cloudy' in UK here :-) ).

For example I might use an ND4 filter (cloudy day), 4k @ 30 fps, and manually set shutter to 1/60th (maybe a bit slower if needed), ISO to 100 (maybe 200 if needed), the target being to get the EV shown on the DJI Go 4 screen to be close to or just above 'zero'. This generally results in nicely detailed and contrasted/coloured video (along with smooth panning, flight speed etc). In post editing I usually pull up the colour saturation a little  bit, and perhaps play about with some of the levels. Others may be able to advise regarding sharpness and contrast setting, I normally just go with 0 for these and D-Cinelike for colour.

I am not a professional photographer or videographer, this is just what I think works well for me :-)

Was that from SD card? Could you please upload some original video from the SD card to the Dropbox for analysis? Please provide me with a Dropbox link to download them.

They are 4K videos, right? Try to reset the Camera Settings,  then record a 1080P video, see if it is the same. Besides, for the 4K videos, try to other Media Players or Computers, see if it is better.

no matter 4k or 1080p - blinking with any resolutions

I downloaded some of your files.
They do show some flickering indeed.
Tried various players and all behave the same.

the main problem when I add contrast and speed in AE
blinking increases, makes more stronger
and final edited video is not good

I can imagine. That will amplify the flickering.
I am not sure what causes this.
Is your firmware etc. up to date?
