hi all,
im a hobbyist with a mavic air, now can anyone tell me what is the best to shoot in 4K or 1080P i dont want to do a lot with my videos IE: cropping, i just want a clean shot, with 4K it seem choppy and im not to keen on that, 1080P seems to be better or is it my imagination.

thanks in advance

You should check is your hardware able to play and edit 4K video. It’s useless if your monitor only has 1080 display. 4K video is 30 frames maximal which only good for slow moving. 1080p can go to 60 or even 120 frames. It’s better for faster motion or object moving fast. You can make slow motion video by slow down 60 / 120 frames video during editing.

The cropping result of 4K video may caused by your PC don’t have enough power to play 4K video. 4K is monster hungry for cpu power and storage. It took much longer time to edit or convert. You are looking for trouble if your computer is not top enough.

I shoot at 4K@24FPS for best cinematic feeling and in 1080p@120FPS for slow motion.

I normally shoot in 2.7K. Quality is excellent and largely sufficient for most purposes.

As others have stated the device (PC) that you intended on rendering the 4K image with is a major factor

Also, make sure you are running a high end micro USB card for 4K as well.
