There are a number of settings to change the “speed“ of things, you have obviously found out about and come to terms with the joystick settings with logarithmic instead of linear regulation, and the “sensitivity” advanced settings. Both of these affect the reaction of the drone itself; whilst important for good filming they do not directly control the gimbal itself. These settings are a compromise between flight performance and filming requirements.
For the gimbal, you need to go to the “Gimbal” advanced settings where you will find four settings specific to the gimbal, as follows:
This is what it says, the “maximum” gimbal tilt speed. If set at zero its going to take more time than the battery allows to go from horizontal to vertical, make it 100 and you will give yourself air sickness in record time. Try out on some test flights and remember you can also control the gimbal speed from the wheel itself.
- · Enable Upwards Gimbal Tilt ….
This will allow the gimbal to tilt upward by 30 degrees Can be used to get some dramatic shots but includes the props mostly. This also changes the gimbal position indicator on the controller screen so you can find the “true forward 0 degrees” position.
- · Gimbal Pitch Smoothness
This is perhaps the most important setting it sets the stopping speed of the gimbal tilt, 0 means that the gimbal will stop instantly the moment you remove your finger from the wheel. Above a setting of 20 or so the gimbal stops smoothly, by 30 then you might start to think about stopping before you get where you want to be, it is a personal thing. My first films were very jerky to begin with until I sorted this out, I use 20.
- · Enable Synchronized Gimbal Pan Follow
This switch allows for a smoother transition when changing flight direction to left or right (mode 2, right stick). Do a test flight set up one configuration option with one the other with off; you can change the configuration during flight with no problems.
