Have any of you used or experimented with flying your Mavic while in spotlight mode? In theory it sounds brilliant to lock onto a subject so that it stays in frame while you focus on piloting the drone around for cinematic effect. However, if your subject moves and or you pilot the Mavic in anything other than a straight line, things get crazy. Once you initiate Spotlight Mode all the directional controls are locked/fixed according to the direction the Mavic is facing at that moment. So if your Mavic is facing due east, due east will now always be forward on the forward stick regardless of which way the Mavic ends up facing later on. In other words, if the subject moves, thus causing the Mavic to rotate while keeping the subject in frame, you will be surprised to find that your controls do not correspond to the way your Mavic is facing, but rather the way it was facing when you started Spotlight. Once the Subject has moved off the original line, it becomes very confusing to try to pilot the Mavic because all the directions are now irrelevant to subject and drone. They are based on a initial posture that is now long gone. This is "Course Lock" in spotlight mode. Unless there is something wrong with my Mavic, I believe this is standard when using Spotlight Mode. It seems it would be much more intuitive to maintain actual flight controls relative to the posture of the drone. Do you guys know of anyway to lock onto a subject and have the freedom to control the aircraft as it actually faces? |
