One thing I would find very useful is to have a horizon indicator overlaid on the video from the drone. As you tilt the camera down, the horizon indicator would of course move up on the dispay. If you tilt down far enough the horizon indicator would have to disappear off-screen.

I'd really like to see what's above and below my horizontal flight line, especially for low-level flying, and when the camera is tilted it's not always that easy.

I (maybe naively) think this should be quite easy. You already have the option for a few grid types. For the horizon, all you have to do is overlay a horizontal line based on what the camera angle is. I think this could be implemented entirely in the app, except maybe for things like spotlight mode, where the drone would report the gimbal angle in the telemetry.

This could be an option right underneath the grid settings.

You can see this if you turn on the radar view.

OK, thanks for the info. I was not using the radar view because it's a little unfamiliar, but I'll try it soon. I think I'd still like the horizon indicated on the video feed, but the radar view might do the job.
