What is the difference between the following modes: Follow, Tilt Lock, FPV, Spin Shot. The literature that comes with the new unit is pathetic and useless. A search of the DJI website yields no answer to this simple question.

It would have been nice for the manufacturer to lay out this basic information is an easy to find, easy to understand way. But no, I guess they're not capable of that. I'm hoping to crowd source the answer. Thanks in advance.

Hello there Rope's End. Thank you for reaching out and for these information you have given. In FPV Mode the phone will follow the direction of the camera handle without restriction - though the movement will be smoothed.  It means that the phone will behave like any other camera, apart from the smoothed movement. In Follow Mode the phone will always stay horizontal.  This means that you don't have to worry about keeping the horizon straight. In Tilt Lock Mode, the phone behaves the same as in Follow mode ( horizon always straight ) but in addition, the phone will point ahead in one direction.  If you move the handle, you won't be able to point the phone up to the sky or down to your feet.  You can set it to straight ahead using the " recenter " option, and you can adjust it down to your feet or up to the sky using the gimbals joystick .  It will then stay pointing at the sky or your feet ( or anywhere between ) regardless of handle movement. Thank you.

Thank you for your response, DJI Stephen. It sounds like Tilt Lock is the same (?) or similar to (?) holding the trigger down. If not, what is the difference?
