Aloha gherd,
Nice thread you have going here! Sorry I am a day or two late for the festivities. Like you, I am constantly in pursuit of the perfect pan. POI is the smoothest PAN I have been able to get so far, but I am still working on it. Maybe DJI-Ken can confirm that the algorithms used for POI compensate for even the steadiest thumb in a wind while POI or PANning. If there is any wind at all, my steadiest manual pans encounter a pause jerk.
But, sdharris had some good input with Barton's video about using a card / box top to hold the stick for really good pans. I think a tongue depressor type of wide, flat stick for the yaw stick might work even better. The P3P and P3A controllers also have a display holder that has a narrow long gap between it and the controller body and the body itself is slightly curved which put together will allow a nice even pressure to be applied to the wooden stick to hold the yaw stick steady in the pan or POI. The control stick "crowns" even come off completely so there can be very little slop at that end if you drill a small diameter hole in the wooden prop and screw the crowns back on. If you do it right, the crown spindle could be used to tension the whole thing. The wood also has just enough friction on the plastic body of the controller to help hold things in place. It will never be as good as the algorithms, but it may be a good improvement.
Mahalo guys! You got my creative juices flowing again on getting the yaw stick control tightened up.
Aloha and Drone On!
