Control yaw with touchscreen?

[NoblenNutria]

I found a way to control gimbal pitch with the touchscreen. Is there a way I can control yaw with touchscreen? Or even better yaw and gimbal pitch at the same time?

i guess this is not possible. On the other hand, the touchscreen input would be inaccurate anyway. But still there's a little aid - use POI mode which makes yaw movement around selected subject on itself and you can fully concentrate on gimbal movement (and even changing altitude or distance at the same time).

With the Mavic 2 and the SC, the gimball yaw is controlled via the touchscreen. Never used it other than when I saw it in the manual and thought "Really?"

unfortunatelly Mavic Air doesn't have controllable gimbal yaw (yaw camera movement is done by turning the aircraft itself).

Ah ok, sorry, my mistake.

That’s what I meant. Can I control MA yaw with the touchscreen?

if you mean to make the gimbal move in x axis (horizontal movement) then no. x-axis is only for stabilization purposes and movement range is pretty small anyway (around 15 degrees to the both sides).

Can I make the whole drone yaw by moving my fingers on the touchscreen left and right?

not sure about higher models like 2Pro but with Mavic Air the answer is no, unfortunately (unless you fly with mobile device connected directly to the drone without remote controller - then the onscreen virtual joysticks appear as a substitute for remote controller sticks and then you can control the aircraft movement by touchscreen but with very limited range).
