good day to you i have a simple poll question that i'd like to pose to everyone. it isn't too difficult of an enhancement to DJI drones, in fact why couldn't it be a simple firmware update to the DJI GO 4 application? what i am referring to is Time Stamps. wouldn't it be nice to have the option to incorporate a time stamp at some location of the screen that keeps time in that time zone up to the second? wouldn't it be nice if it could be labeled as well to which time zone you are filming in? wouldn't it be nice to also have the option to incorporate perhaps a stopwatch as well? picture the screen showing the time in **London** **New York** and **wherever you might be in the world?** including perhaps also a stopwatch feature that can be included at someplace in the image, as well? this image enhancement, i'd imagine, could be a graphic tied to the internal flight log time algorithm when you look at your flight log in the GO 4 app, since DJI has that time information already journaled. why couldn't we make use of it on our videos? i'd like to sometimes film and have the final sd card version graphic embedded with the Time Stamp included that i shot in the video and my date that it was recorded is absolutely useful during some shots, particularly if you do contracted work and your client requests this kind of data for record keeping, which currrently you have to go back in post and insert a running clock that many who need this feature incorporated, do not know how to do themselves in post?
DJI - it's time to include that feature and this Poll will dictate the demand for such feature and its usefulness for many DJI drone owners and prospective customers in this segment...
Poll:

-Do you think it's time DJI should incorporate, and provide, the option to include Time Stamps on videos which perhaps can be a firmware update into the DJI GO 4 Application?

Can you not just use the video caption feature.   It records time, camera settings etc as subtites you can optionally turn on later.

I just click over the frame in my Mac and tap 'get info' and it tells me the date and time the footage/still was taken with a host of info on the camera settings that I used to create the frame.

That's still not a nice graphic that blends into the video properly like mileage and distance and speed like on the DJI GO 4 application. Instead, those graphics can be replaced on the drone sd card video that has the Time Stamp replaced in its place with time and date as well as adding the time of another location you could customize in the app???

Yes, it is possible to find out the time and date information in the file folder that is if it wasn't sometimes corrupted if the drone lost connection and the recording Time Stamp became inaccurate? I think DJI should include Time Stamp options based from the DJI GO 4 app because it is running on accurate information likely from the dedicated GPS module inside the drone????

Something pretty would be nice to have I guess.

I've never had a corrupted file but I guess that can happen

Yes something pretty would be nice and it's not as if I''m suggesting I'd use it on every flight, but the ability to have that feature as an option to utilize when you want to document something at that particular time and date and moment then this feature would be most useful aside from any other features DJI would consider implementing to the Mavic 2 lineup?...just my two cents

I wonder if it would detract from the M2 Enterprise, as that has some feature for securing recording locations/date/time etc.

I've had some corrupted files when I mix my GoPro and other camera recordings using the same Micro SD card with my DJI drones. It doesn't happen often I might have you, but it has been known to happen now and then. I also don't exactly trust the information on the file folder as being the exact time the recording occurred, is the time stamp on the file folder the time the recording started or stopped and what triggers the file to record the time stamp? DJI could implement much better Time Stamp functionality in the application that we can use as an enhancement, but I'd want the control of having it on my videos or not, not something that would be included without giving me the option to control whether I want it in the image or not....get my drift???

It will be a good option to have for those that need for sure.

It doesn't say on the website for the M2 Enterprise whether there's some type of built in Time Stamp, however, I would imagine DJI has already experimented with this feature and has chosen not to roll it out for whatever obvious reason. I just think they should give the user the ability to utilize the feature, not implement it completely by jamming it down our you know what....

That's all I'm trying to suggest here in this thread..just give us the ability to control that option on our videos, it shouldn't be too difficult to roll that feature out???

Yes it would be cool if just like GoPro cameras can put nice graphics with GPS (path, speed, acelerometer) and other info
