Thanks str1776. I wish I could, but I don't have sufficient time to take the needed shots for composing a neat video for uploading to Youtube.
Back to the subject of Coach mode which was spotted by Rich - I remember I read a topic in other forum about the distance limitation for a clear video feed from the bird to the slave RC. It was observed by quite a few Inspire 1 users that their gimbal / camera operating buddies would experience jerky or even no video feed on their slave RCs from their Inspire 1s at not-so-far-away flying distances (several hundred metres only) when the video down feed to their own master RCs was still perfect up to several kM.
It was suspected that either the 5.8GHz Tx from Slave RC Tx antenna reduced the sensitivity of the 2.4GHz Rx antenna of the Slave RC, or the Slave RC were not successfully keeping pace with the 2.4 GHz band-hopping between the Master RC and the Inspire 1. Such limitation was said to be inherent by design.
My mentioning of this is to hope folks here will aware of this possible limitation when flying in Coach mode, so as not to let those learning guys get frighten by early experiencing of any lost of video feed, discouraging their confidence in mastering the aircraft.
