Hi,

I have owned a Mavic pro and then upgraded to the Mavic2 Zoom whenever it came out.

I fly the drone from my wheelchair and use an assistive mouse to control my tablet and access all the controls via the DJI Go4 app.
(My limited arm/hand movement makes it impossible to use the roller on the controller for the camera)

Using the assistive mousee I was able to click on the screen and drag to move the gimbal up and down on the Mavic pro and then on the Mavic zoom I was able to move up and down on pan left and right.

I have just bought a Mavic mini 2 and the only way that I can see to move the gimbal up and down is to use the wheel on the top of the controller.
When I click on the screen and drag as with the previous drones the camera Gimbal does not move.

Am I missing something? Is there another way to move the gimbal through the DJI fly app?

Thanks in advance

I was sure you could drag on the screen to move the gimble.. I'll try in a little while and will report back...

Well I was utterly wrong about that... No idea why I thought I'd done that before or thought I'd read about it in the manual.

Swiping around on the screen does not move the gimble, though that would be a great feature.

(And in the process of checking I managed to shred my hand on the props!)

Can you not do it by screen? what about if you start with the wheel then use the screen once the indicator shows? i cant try it now, its 4am lol

I remembered what it was that I was thinking of... Pinch to zoom.

Sorry it doesn't help much, but it wasn't moving the gimble it was just zooming by pinching on the screen that I'd read about

Thanks for all of the replies.

I saw Dji had released the sdk for the Mini 2 and so Litchi had a Beta version for the Mini 2.

The gimbal function is available by clicking and dragging anywhere on the screen in Litchi .

Maybe Dji will bring it to the Fly app in the future
