check the vid.  when I roll left or right should the gimbal compensate like it does forward and backward?


thanks for lookin'

Hi, please check in the Go app, under Gimbal Settings, if you have the gimbal mode set to FPV or Follow.

Check in your settings whether you have the gimbal set to FPV or Follow mode. It will do that if it is in FPV mode.

Not quite the same time, but close enough that it doesn't matter. Thanks for continuing to serve the public.
Many others have left the forum, for different avenues of enlightenment. It's always good to have some folks here with experience and knowledge to help those newcomers over these early hurdles, and steep learning curve humps. Ha

Hope you are enjoying a most pleasant day, and your valuable time spent in the forum.  ;-)

hrmmm.  thanks all, I saw that mode today as I was playing with the settings and it was in follow mode.  I will dbl check and make sure I didn't change it on purpose or by accident.  

checked, still in follow mode... I did a gimbal calibration earlier today and went ok.

when I am idling on the ground, and hit left or right on joystick, the props spin up on whatever side as normal but the gimbal also moves left and right which I find strange, but it has always done this....

The gimbal will move left and right when you pull the stick to left and right.
It' normal, please don't worry about that.

cool thanks.  any ideas why gimbal would be stuck in fpv mode when the app says follow mode?

Do you have the RC, drone and Go app running together, before making app settings changes?

Aloha fiend,

     The blue highlight is the choice.  Go back and forth to see that when you choose a selection on many pages the selection turns blue.  This may be your problem.  I only mention it because it was my problem at one time.

     Hope this helps!

Aloha and Drone On!

You may be accidentally pushing the 'C2' button on back of controller (easily done) by default it is set to toggle between 'Follow' & 'FPV' gimbal modes.

I reset my 'C2' to switch between 'map' & 'camera' view on screen, just in case I push it.

aaaaahhhh Aardvark, that would be it.  I was trying to find the controls that allow me to adjust my horizon, pressing buttons like a madman haha
great! thanks everyone I will change that button to something more useful.

Aloha Cetaman. When I posted my video from Iceland you mentioned try follow mode for better results and I was gonna try it, I just haven't been able to fire up the bird for a while, so now I know what you intended, thanks.

Press and hold C2 and toggle camera wheel.
When you hold C2, you will see a green cross,adjust your horizon by the the wheel.

Is there any other way to have soda?

there was a place here in Calgary that made ice cream slurpee floats , soo good.  I will have to see if they are still around.  I moved but it was a favorite stop on my summer bike rides

7-11 used to give you a scoop in a slurpy, but you had to go to the front desk and ask for it... ;-)
Probably still do... A&W also will give you a puck of icecream for your root beer float...

But for a real delight, visit your local Dairy Queen... Chuckles

Aloha RedHot,

     As fiend indicates just below your post, it was letters in the order of his choosing.  I just deleted letters in his moniker.  But, I still am a nasty boy!

Aloha and Drone On!
