l had issues with my camera on the first day of uploading with overheating, beeping, warnings, green half-screen flashes on my ipad, etc.
When it cooled off the next day, the warning was gone, status was good, l put it in the air. Wow! Do these things ever fly well!
Anyway, from the ground l thought everything went smoothly, l had no beeps, no warnings, l brought it in front of me and put the camera down then up then in position l wanted. All smooth. So l thought it had just overheated the night before and all was well.
Then l looked at the video.
The default player was Quicktime and the video was very jerky. Every second it would jump ahead, there was no smoothness at all, just jump, jump, jump.
Needless to say l was disappointed and ready to send it back. ln order to do that l wanted to send the video to show what was happening. Lo and behold when l uploaded to youtube the jerking was gone. Put it on vimeo the jerking is gone. Even watching the same video in windows media player the jerking is gone.
Sorry to be so long-winded but l'm tense about this and don't trust that it's normal. l'm within my window of opportunity to return it, but l want to keep it if it's normal.
So my question is, is it normal for quicktime to play like that? Does it struggle with this type of video?
Given that the gimbal overheated badly the night before, and the warning that gimbal can't receive MC data, and the ipad was getting half-screen green flashes on it, does this add up to a defective unit or am l being paranoid?
This is what l did pre-flight:
gimbal guard off
foam piece removed
controller update successful
copter update successful
IMU cal as the app requested
gimbal cal
sticks/wheel cal
compass cal in field
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
