Written by The Phantom 2 Vision+ Quadcopter with Gimbal-Stabilized 14MP, 1080p Camera from DJI is based on the same air frame as the Phantom 2 and Phantom 2 Vision. Unlike its siblings, however, it features a 14 MP camera that is stabilized and controlled with an integrated 3-axis gimbal. Gimbal stabilization makes the Phantom 2 Vision+ ideal for shooting aerial footage and photos. The camera can take 14 MP, Adobe DNG RAW photos, and can record video in 1080p Full HD at 30 fps or 720p at 60 fps for creating slow motion effects.
From technical datas of DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, we know that it can record H.264 MP4 files. How to import DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ H.264 MP4 to VLC/QuickTime/Windows Media Player for playing may be a headache problem to most of you guys. I believe that you must have encountered the following issues once or twice: “I’m trying to find out more information about the issue of H.264 MP4. It looks very different depending on what player is used. I’ve done quite a bit of searching and reading on this, but I’m finding it’s difficult to come to some real-world conclusions on this subject. I’ve generally just used QuickTime for H.264 MP4 playback up to now, but I recently tried using VLC (and WMP) to play the same files, and discovered that the video looks considerably darker when played back compared to the lighter output I see with QT. And unfortunately, not every H.264 MP4 file can be played well in QT.”
