I had a Mavic Pro but sold it so couldn't test on it. Not sure how this post ended up here. Maybe I put it here by accident or someone moved it here.

So does a video thumbnail show up for you in my post above?

Did you see the video above? Are you able to do that with your Mavic Pro with just moving your finger around on the screen. First part of video Mavic 2 not even moving, I'm doing all that just by moving the camera with my finger on the screen.

Sure... First part I have Mavic 2 Pro stationary. Only camera is moving by me hard pressing on phone display. Second part I am moving the drone with my right hand and using left thumb to press and move around camera using phone display. Now obviously one has to be careful to not pan to far left...

Now this may change everything for me or perhaps for everyone... Can someone confirm for me if horizontal camera panning (that you can control) was on previous drones??? I just saw today that I could hold press the screen on my Mavic 2 pro and pan the camera from side to side during flight...

Does tripod mode use obstacle avoidance? I have been turning that off since it beeps all over the place when I have it turned on indoors. Can you explain more what you mean by #5? Are you meaning, don't fly it and just hold it like a camera?

I just got a Mavic. I have flown it indoors a bit. Set RTH to hover and turned off obstacle avoidance. The one thing I still notice is that when it goes over an object it is close to (underneath it), the Mavic auto-lifts up. Is that from the downward sensors being on and has anyone flown with...
