Hey guys, I own a DJI Mini 2 Pro, I was wondering if there's a way to change the controls so I can use the Gimbal Dial (preset is used to aim camera up and down) to lower and raise my drone. I tried the defaul control setup that comes with DJI Fly, and I'm not a huge fan of it, also changed it so all of my horizontal movement is done with my left stick, and my vertical and rotation movement goes on my right stick.
I basically wanted a similar setup, but have the right stick control the "camera movement" just like any FPS game, so I can rotate the camera in all directions with my right stick (rotate drone and control gimbal) and move the vertical movement of my drone to the Gimbal Dial.
Is there a way to acchieve this? Thanks!

Maybe another app that would unlock those control options?

The software is written so you can choose stick mode 1, 2 or 3.  I don't think any will let you raise and lower drone using the gimbal dial.

You can customize the 2 sticks with any functionality, but not the Gimbal Dial which is locked on the camera gimbal movement, that's not even exposed on the settings.

That's because that feature is not currently available.

Looks like I have no other option lol, that's what I'm doing now, just wanted to ask if this was possible, it doesn't seems too far fetch and tbh it makes sense for anyone used to using controllers and related to gaming too, EVERY game uses what I'm trying to achieve as camera movement, so having this option would be very beneficial for newbies too.
