Feature Request: Invert Gimbal Wheel Direction
When flying, I always seem to roll the wrong direction first.  Not attractive when recording video.
It would be nice to have this to match other Drone controllers.
My thoughts about the gimbal roller: In aviation, when you push forward, you dive.  When you pull back, you climb.  Currently the Spark gimbal control is opposite that.
What ya think?

My thought, this could be a configuration setting by the other GIMBAL settings.

I would like this to be an option so that I can choose which direction that I prefer.  It might be nice to have a gimbal only tripod style mode as well.  So I can keep flying at a normal speed but get a really slow gimbal pan.

I agree with this, it is a good feature request.  I would also like to be able to toggle the operation of the gimbal dial with one of the programmable function buttons.  A couple other things I would like to get this dial to do are:  exposure compensation dial, and use the dial to set the circle speed for ActiveTrack Trace mode.  You wouldn't even need to toggle back and forth between two choices, it could just keep cycling through your gimbal dial choices each time you hit the function button.  It could all be done in software and would make the dial much more useful.  It should be fully reconfigurable.

Currently you can slow down the Gimbal speed

I had another post about this, but had some users suggest LEFT - LOW , and that helped with my muscle memory.

This is an excellent request...I have the same tendency to scroll the gimbal wheel in the wrong direction.

@55, memory is a bit tougher to train

Yes, I find I always push it the wrong way, even when I am concentrating on pushing the opposite of the logical way.  Somehow my brain cannot learn.
PLEASE add the option to INVERT direction of this and the ZOOM (right) wheel for MAVIC 2 ZOOM.
Thanks guy.  Great product otherwise!

Yes yes yes! I know I'm late to the party but yes that would make perfect sense to invert. Maybe says more about me than the controller, but I get it wrong each first time.

The real question here is why was it configured backwards in the first place?    This is something that makes the controller look like it was designed by a math challenged engineer

I THOUGHT I had it figured out. Nope. Still go the wrong way every time.

It is quite unnatural, how simple would it be to make a patch for this option? When did push to go down, and pull to go up become so difficult?
