Can someone help me.  I'm new to video so I'm not all that sure I have my video settings right.  When the craft is moving fairly quickly, my video is jerky.  More than I see the other peoples.  Note, this is not a shakey picture that might suggest a gimble issue.  It's like the picture can't keep up.  I am using a high speed video SD card.

Sorry, I'd love to show you a clip but, like I said, I'm new to video, the phantom, this forum and my mac so I can't figure out how to post a video.
None the less, I'm hopeful with this information that you'll recognize a common mistake.
I have the latest firmware V1.50030 installed.  My video size is set to 1080p at 30f/s, video format is MOV, NTSC,  White Balance + AWB, Style = none, Color = D-log, and Anti Flicker = 50 Hz.
Hopefully you'll see a setting that might help my issue.

I'm actually having the same problem.  Received my bird back from DJI today for an issue I had with the GPS not "GPSing".  Took her up and started flying when I noticed a shake....then she shimmied.  When I got her back, I did notice I also got the new motors put on it.  Thought that was a bonus!  Everything is fully updated and there was little to no wind.  Video below.

Hi ,

Yes, I did that right after I received my bird back from support and before her flight.  I can redo the calibration early next week "just in case", and will report back after a few batteries.  Thank you Patrick for your reply.

Was that the P3 shaking or the gimbal/camera?

Neither shakes.  I figured it out.  I need to slow the bird down a little, especially when close to the ground.  I think the frames/second just can't keep up to the hi speed of the aircraft.  The problem is gone if a fly a bit slower and pan slower.  Long distance shots are not an issue at all.
Thanks to everyone for trying to help.

Well that's hard to answer since I couldn't see the bird, just saw the video.  Not sure how to test whether it's the camera/gimbal or the bird itself.  Weather here hasn't been cooperating so I haven't been out yet, hoping maybe tomorrow.

Since you are filming in NTSC, I think the Anti flicker should be at 60 Hz. (It will not help jerky moves, but it can help with image flickering at times).

Please keep the aircraft hovering and check if it's the aircraft vibration or gimbal shaking .
