It's a design flaw. I've tried every setting, adjustment and tutorial.  The yaw movements are just jerky on these things.  I'm adding a physical stop block so the stick can only move a slight bit.  You also need to adjust the expo values to around 3.0 to 3.5.

Aloha quado,

     Here are some good posts regarding smooth PANs and 4K video.  


     Hope this helps!

Aloha and Drone On!

Aloha Jeffrey,

     Well, you have better thumbs than I do.  In EXPO, I use 2.5 for YAW, 3.0 for left/right, forward/back and 4.0 for thrust.  This also works real well in SPORT Mode.  Really tames SPORT Mode to manageable.  

     Like your "stop block", I made a PAN Stick to help with smooth transitions.  Here is a video of it in action.



     The newer EXPO and the other settings have made my stick something of a relic though.

Aloha quado,

     See my Post #4 for some alternative settings.

It is not a design flaw at all, all video cameras do this, and professionals usually avoid pans for this very reason. The jerkiness can be reduced by using a higher frame rate, or by employing ND filters to slow the shutter speed. Try Googling 'jerky pans' and you will find pages of threads on the subject.

thanks all for your valuable help
and a special thanks to  Cetacean for a fully explained answer

No, there is a flaw. I’ve only had this issue on the p4prov2. Never with previous phantom 4s, both Magic’s, and my inspire2.  Ive also recalibrated everything. Sending back to DJI

It in NOT a flaw, as explained above.
