hi! I noticed something strange in mavic 1. when you use yaw and move the camera up and down, when the camera stops moving the mavic stops momentarily and then continues. to understand it the mavic must rotate quickly. this only happens in p-mode. I tried a friend's mavic and it does the same. Has any owner of mavic 1 noticed this?

Why is it an issue?
When do you make these moves for a video?

Ok.
That might not have been the main thing they had in mind when designing this thing 6 years ago

The gimbal was the weakest link of this bird if you ask me.
But I really loved the MP a lot.
Had to sell it recently because of the new EU regulations and the fact I had to get a licence to fly it.
That was not a road I wanted to take now (rather expensive here in NL)

Now I have the M2, for the time being.
Not sure if that is going to stay, but time will tell.

it is not an issue of gimbal. is clearly a issue of software. in sport mode it does not do it. I think we will all sell them in the end my friend

Could very well be the case (that it is software).
I have not really investigated it, since I almost never ran into it.

Yeah, the <250g drones could become huge here in the EU

I do miss my MP btw.
It has a very nice output (especially given its age)
