I just watched the DJI video touting their story modes. In the demo they showed filming a skateboarder and the gimbal rotated while filming. Is there a way to have the Pocket 2 do that outside of a story mode?

You can control the gimbal with the joystick or with a mobile phone in the Mimo app.

Yes, I'm aware of that.  I want to rotate the gimbal as shown at the 0:58 mark of this video.

Hmm.  I'm not aware of a manual way of doing that apart from using FPV mode and simply rotating the handle.  

Addendum - see this video where he tilts the camera forward like a flashlight, in FPV mode, then gets hold of the lens head and points it ahead, then uses the control wheel (or use the joystick) to rotate the lens.

Hi, Viva Terlingua. Thanks for reaching out! There is no current way to manually perform the same result other than using the preset function in Story Mode.

Hmmm.  The method I suggested does work for me.  I guess the question is, will aligning the gimbal head the way shown in the video risk damage to the motors?

Interesting.  I will give it a try.  Thanks.

Is it possible to shoot in 'Portrait' format with my Mavic Pro, or any other DJI, without including the propellers. Thanks!
