Here is a couple minutes or raw unedited video from this mornings flight over the Calico Hills at Sunrise. The yaw is very smooth with this little drone. The turns were done while adjusting the gimbal up/down to keep the horizon in view. Gimbal is also very smooth. Camera was set to Rock Steady. Winds were moderate at 10-15mph. There was a bit of side to side wobble at times during this flight that Rock Steady was unable to correct. Horizon steady might be a better camera setting for Cinematic flights like this. Very happy with the overall Camera Quality.
 
That was insanely beautiful footage!! Gorgeous!! I'd be terrified of losing signal going around some of those rocks.

Loved the scenery. The camera quality looks terrific. I am looking forward to getting my Avata soon! Thanks for sharing.
 
Just wondering, does it fly only in FPV mode?
No. The Gimbal has only 1 Axis (up and down), but not side to side (banking). However, there are options for setting the Camera, they are Rock Steady (FPV mode), or Horizon steady which keeps the horizon flat electronically through a program. It works amazingly well. It really is good at both FPV and Cinematic photography
 
Very nice flying and filming. Pleasing to watch. It's good to see an Avata used for something more sane than what's shown in the DJI promo videos. Nice edit job, too.

Thanks folks, glad you enjoyed it. Heading back out there tonight to catch the sunset, temps are back into the 90's, last blast of summer!
