I was "fascinated" by the coincidence that cine mode gimbal 0 made my drone go at 4.6m/s, which is pretty close to the speed DJI use for benchmarking the maximum flight time.

Does this particular section of the manual perhaps explain to some extent at least, the speed conditions?
It would appear that all other things being equal, that the gimbal's positioning indeed affects the general speed of the drone.

During video mode in Normal or Cine mode, the flight speed is limited when the pitch of the gimbal is near -90° or 0° in order to ensure shooting is stable. If there are strong winds, the restriction will be disabled to improve the wind resistance of the aircraft. As a result, the gimbal may vibrate while recording. © 2021 DJI All Rights Reserved. 11

ooops didnt quote the relevant person

Thank you S-B-B. It's the old story I suppose, manual reading should be automatic but rarely is

Indeed but it's the bits that get missed that are troublesome lol
