Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual - gimbal rotates independently?

[WeekendMedic]

I had a chance last week to let a friend's grandson learn to fly my M2ED, he's a farm kid with an interest in film production. I was really pleased with how attentive and careful he was while flying, and we were about to get some great shots of working tractors on his family farm.

While flying, using a standard RC1A controller with the DJI pilot app on an Android tablet, he asked "how do I get the drone landing gear out of the shot?"

I looked over his shoulder (using a Hoodman hood for sun glare so sharing the screen was a challenge) and he was right, the camera was turned to the right and he was seeing the back of a front leg.

I let him use up all of my batteries, so I wasn't able to fiddle with it, and it's rained since then (thanks NY!). I have a scheduled flight tomorrow and wanted to sort this out.

Did he engage a feature I'm not familiar with? If so, what's it called and how do I enable/disable it? Was this a gimbal error? (Gimbal appeared fine when he brought it in for a battery change).

Thanks for any input - and if you can, take a kid flying. He smiled the whole time, as did I, and his family has reached out since several times to say how much fun he had...

I might have found the answer on a DJI product page for the Mavic 2 - I'll test tomorrow and see if this works...

"Can I use the remote controller to move the Mavic 2's gimbal 75° from left to right?

No. However, you can control the Mavic 2’s gimbal movements with DJI GO 4 or a connected pair of DJI Goggles. In DJI GO 4, press and drag any point of the app's live view interface to do so. You can also rotate the gimbal left and right to a maximum angle of 75° when using Head Tracking mode on the DJI Goggles series"

If you press and hold on the screen an area, the gimbal will rotate to that area.
So you cannot move the gimbal side to side with a controller button or wheel, you can move it side to side by pressing and holding a spot on screen.

Should be a setting for one of the back buttons that will re-center gimbal.

This was the fix, thanks!
