Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 - Gimbal moves a few degrees (maybe between 5-10) either left or right as I use the left joystick to turn the craft left or right. Is this a design-feature or can I disable it? It basically doubles your lateral camera movement for a few degrees in either direction.. makes exact panning control difficult.

I can place the aircraft on a table (not flying - props not on) and when I move the left joystick just a little to either the right or left, the gimbal moves right or left by maybe 5 degrees.

I think there is a setting where you can disable that. I think its the follow FPV. in the gimbal settings

Mine does that too.  I think they all do it.  I think the idea is to counter the abrupt movement of the AC to provide smoother video.

IF the settings are the same as for my P4P, on the *camera settings* page of DJI GO app select *FPV Mode*  INSTEAD OF *Follow Mode* and the "dampening effect" will be removed

This is a compensive action of that Gimbal to  record curve flights smoother and protects the yaw axis.

It's the Yaw.  I've tried flying w/ it off day 1 I think the 1st 1/4 or probably the whole video of this flight but it's more difficult because the whole drone has to turn before it moves so small movements were pretty much non-existent but my settings were pretty much at the lowest possible for Yaw.  I put everything back to default and it seems smoother to fly.

It's worse to fly w/ that setting off.  It's like riding a motorcycle with the steering damper set way higher than needed at low speeds.  It makes it very difficult to turn feel wise.
