Hello,

I've been reading several time the definition of the two mode (Follow and FPV mode) for the gimball and I don't quite understand the diferrence
I'm currently using follow-mode as I understood from the user manual that the camera lense will always point in the direction pointed by the aircraft (angle constant ?)
Still i'm unclear what FPV would be (indicated as "will synchronize with the movement of the aicraft")

Which mode are you using or why ?

Thanks in advance

l use Follow so that the horizon is always level (in theory anyway).
FPV mode is like you're piloting a plane, the view tilts left when the plane tilts left, etc.

If you wear goggles to fly, FPV mode would likely be preferable. ;-)
It allows the camera to tilt with the drone.

Follow = follow horizon.
FPV = first person view, does NOT follow horizon, like you are superman.
