Black Falcon Drone 4K at 60fps, or is that just marketing?

Honestly, I think the 60fps thing is just marketing fluff on these cheaper drones. I’ve seen the same thing with mine, it looks fine for casual flying but definitely not a true 60 frames.

I mean, it’s probably not *true* 60fps but mine looks fine for what I paid. Might just be a quirk of the file.

Honestly, I think it’s hard to tell without really checking the file properties. I just use mine for quick flights and it looks good enough on my phone.

I haven’t bothered checking the file properties on mine, but it’s smooth enough for quick clips around the yard. If it’s not true 60fps, I can’t really tell the difference in good light anyway.

It’s a budget drone, so I wouldn’t expect cinema-level specs. If the footage looks smooth enough to use, that’s basically what you paid for.

Hmm, I kinda disagree. I checked the file properties on mine and it shows 60fps, so maybe it’s just a setting thing or how you’re playing it back.

I'd lean toward Mike Casio and Chris Miller here — the app defaulting to 30 and the phone player not showing the real frame rate are the two things most likely to make it look like marketing when it isn't. Sarah J's point about it being fluff may be true in some modes, but I wouldn't write off the whole drone from a phone preview alone. If you pull the file onto a computer and check the info, that tells you what you actually recorded; if it's still 30 there, then it's a real limitation rather than just a playback quirk.
