DJI Mini 4 Pro Waypoint Hyperlapse Shutter Speed

I will quickly show you some clips made at different shutter speed values to show how

important motion blur is. This one was taken without ND filter at a very fast shutter speed of 1 over 3600 of

a second. This is a mistake that many users make when they start

The movement of the cars is extremely jumpy, nowhere near what we would see in real life

Simply painful to watch. A disaster. The next one I put an ND filter but it is not strong enough for the light conditions

The shutter speed value is 1 twentieth of a second. The result is marginally better but still unusable

The movement is way too jumpy. For this one I choose an interval of 2 seconds for a longer short movie

I have the correct ND filter but with this interval the slowest shutter speed available

is 1 fourth of a second. The resulting clip we start to see a bit of motion blur

The effect is not exactly what I aim for but it can be considered acceptable

We are trading off some motion blur for some extra length in the hyperlapse

In this one I set the interval of 3 seconds and I put an ND filter of the correct value

to use a shutter speed of 1 second. To simplify we can consider 1 second as the most suitable shutter speed value for drone hyperlapses

As you can see the movement is now very smooth and the hyperlapse looks much better
