When in Fixed Wing mode and flying in Sports...the image bounces around alot.

Anyone else have this problem?

If so, has DJI attempted to address this issue?

Can you post a video that demonstrates what you're seeing? Sport mode is a little tougher on the gimbal, so it's possible that what you're seeing is normal -- but it may not be.

Fixed mode is NOT for filming or taking pictures. It is just for fun flying!

It has a camera and one should be able to use it with reasonable results regardless of the flight mode.

Again when you fly fixed mode the horizon is EXTREMELY tilted when you make your turn and the AUTO FOCUS and the Exposure can't and will be able to catch up to adjust. So again No reasonable or let's say professional results will come out of it.

The fixed wing is mainly to be used with the Goggles so you can have the immersive view while flying.

goggles or no goggles, users need a satisfying image when flying and right now that's not the case with the fix wing mode...especially with a head wind.  bounces around like a train wreck.

Why don't you post a video so we can see what you are talking about.

In fixed wing mode the camera goes in to FPV mode whereas it locks the gimbal in place and offers no stabilization. Hve you ever used or seen video from a race drone?? This is great compared to that. It isn't meant for you to have a perfect view.
