Mavic 4 Spinning am I missing something?

[Kilrah]

The specs are out and yes that's what they say...

If I read correctly, the Mavic 4 Pro can only shoot up to 70 deg vertical, not at 90 deg. Is this true?

The gimbal tilts up to 70°.
But that doesn't mean that the camera only sees up to 70° above the horizon.
The centre point of your image would be 70° above the horizon but the wideangle main camera has a vertical field of view of 49.8°, so with the gimbal tilted to the max, the lens would be covering up to (and a little past) 90°.

that's the maximum pitch of the gimbal - from -90 (nadir) to 70.

Shooting in vertical mode the gimbal pitch is greatly reduced, 7 degrees I think it is.

The yaw in horizontal is +- 22 deg, but I don't know if directly translates into pitch in vertical mode.

11 degrees max each way is my guess then... as I have watched a few reviews on YouTube
