Same here: if the gimbal angle is fixed and forced into FPV mode, then this feature that I was initially pretty enthusiastic about is essentially useless to me.
I haven't actually tried it yet, but if that's how it works then I'm baffled as to why DJI would choose to cripple a potentially very useful feature that way. I can always choose to change to FPV mode and to leave the gimbal at a given angle, but if you force those settings on me then the usefulness of the feature is greatly reduced.
Not having experienced Fixed Wing Mode myself, I'm speaking out of ignorance, but I think there is a slight difference between using FWM and designating Gimbal for FPV. And that is stick control. It seems FWM changes how the sticks navigate the AC to feel more like flying a fixed wing aircraft. Whereas, setting the gimbal to FPV doesn't affect sticks. It just locks the gimbal so pilots will get the banking visual affect of sitting in the pilots seat when flying. Again, I'm speaking without any direct experience with this new feature.
I suspect in time, the purpose and functional use will come to light. I just don't think its going to be of use to pilots interested in photographic capabilities...... |
