I keep forgetting to lower my camera a bit on my Phantom 4 so I kep getting my props in the video. I was wondering if there is a setting so that I can keep my camera from panning that high.
Thanks

Under normal circumstances the camera will be tilted down enough to avoid the props being in shot, but the other reason for them appearing is very rapid acceleration. The general rule about shooting video while flying is to keep all your movements slow and gentle. Having said that, no, there is no setting that will stop the props from being seen.

What G'man said!

Before I start shooting, I make sure the horizon/land sky are in the top 1/3 of the frame.

In this video, I am going pretty good...maybe 25+ mph    but no props.....now that I'm watching again, I could have been S M O O THER.......grrrr

Smooth is sometimes difficult eh ?  Especially if you are trying to fly and roll the camera down,  or maybe fly & slew.
Practice makes perfect or sometimes no difference at all.  LOL

Apart from what's been mentioned, check in 'Gimbal Settings' / 'Advanced Settings' and make sure the 'enable upwards gimbal tilt limit to 30 degree' is not enabled. That allows the camera to tilt to 30 degrees above 'level'.

Stay out of sports mode, moderate acceleration and braking, gimbal tilted down etc.

Thank you 30 degrees was enabled.

Duplicate post deleated.

Hi Franko. May I know if you are in Sports Mode? If yes, can you please try to use different mode and let's see. You may also watch the video tutorial below for some tips to change your gimbal behavior. Should you have further question, please let me know. Thank you.

Very informative. I will play with the settings.
Thank you so much.

A handy refresher !

I've read in posts that some people will fly backwards, then show the vid in reverse.  

Good luck.

Thank you. You can also go to our YouTube Channel for more video tutorial and tips.

Will do Natalia

No not in sports mode. I will post back after I get a chance to fly it again.
Thank you all.

Yes the 30 degree gimbal angel can be the problem.

I just realized yesterday,  that my gimbal speed was too high.  It was set at 60,   so I turned it down to 10 and oh MY nice difference!!  Very smooth.

Also turned down yaw,  I think in EXPO settings.....
