I know 4k is the future and you are going to get slightly better quality etc i just wanted to dangle the 4k carrot and a few of you bit,but that was sooooo obvious!!
Video not so smooth

I get my 6 stops ND filter today, but the video is not smooth in 4K - 24 FPS - 1/100 sec.
Look at this:
Any suggestions how to improve the smoothness? I'm a little disappointed. Only 1080p with 60FPS work for me now.

Nikon that video when I play it on my 27" iMac with a 5k display looks great and I am not seeing any lag can you tell me about the time in the video where you are seeing the stuttering? Also in speaking to a professional film editor he informed me that they all now shoot in 4K and have been an down sample it to 1080p when the end product is delivered, his words were the more picture data the better when it comes down to the editing a movie. The detail of the water and the birds flying is great. Have you tried a faster SD card, I am using the SanDisk Extreme Pro 64gb and have not had any issues.

So today I received my Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB memory card and take 2 shots with one ND filter of 3 stops.
One shot 4K with 1/200 (this shutterspeed works well for others on this forum) 30FPS and one shot 1080p 1/200 60 FPS. It looks for me that the 4K version is sharper, but the 1080p version is smoother. I know it is 60FPS vs 30FPS but it's a huge different in smoothness, even when the 1080p version is viewed in 30fps.
Please give your opinion guys on the two shots. Which one do you prefer? Oh btw, shots are right off the memory card, so no editing.

The frame rate does matter, yes, but don't forget that shutter speed is the most important smooth effect to consider. If your shutter is running at 1/1000 (for example), you just capture 1/1000 of light out any 1/50 sec (at 50fps). The gap between the captures are looong when you move fast (an example is rotation of the bird). Most high level video editing software (Premiere, Finul cut etc..) have a specific function to fill the gap in this case. The solution is the ND filter, that let you use slower shutter time, instead of 1/1000 for example 1/100 with 10x filter.
I understand Dome But look at my video's above. Which one do you prefer? The sharper 4K or the smoother FullHD version ?

What do you mean filming without GPS? What have GPS to do with video quality?

For anyone having shaking/stuttering video, I accidentally discovered a fix for mine. Had my MP replaced by DJI for this issue. The replacement did the same thing. Video was jerky and stuttering regardless of slow/fast movement. At one point I received a brief warning "Video Positioning System Error". So I did a VPS calibration through the Assistant2 and now my video (from card) is totally smooth. Problem solved for me. Worth a try. Haven't had a chance to test all the various camera settings, but so far so good.
