I have to admit to being pretty chuffed with the pressies rolling off the update treadmill this week. Very happy with the new zoom which is way better than a simple digital cropping zoom; I go pixel-peeping and am mighty impressed. Also show the fn+gimbal wheel trick get smooth zoom rather than jumping from 1x to 4x in one step and go through the new battery countdowns.

All in all, a great set of new functions..... Just need waypoints and we're there! :)

Long video, so here are the jump points:
How to Update: 1:12
Sideways Safety System: 2:36
Battery Countdown indicators: 6:25
Advanced Gimbal Controls: 8:47
Digital Zoom: 11:30

Cheers
Ian

Excellent review of the functions and thank you!
Have you viewed how different the FPV is now too? This could (maybe?) be of help to the other thread (which I can't find) where the guy is saying it's flying almost like it's in FPV mode. Start watching at the 2:20 mark.
 
Ian thank you as always
Thanks fella
As requested, my preferred gimbal settings:
Pitch Speed: Low, around 5
Pitch Smooth: HIgh, around 25
Yaw Speed: Low, around 20
Yaw Smooth: High: around 25

Thanks for the video. With ~ 10 hrs of flight time I’m now interested in learning, so I can do more than just fly around taking random videos and photos of uninteresting stuff! (Although that is still fun too ...)
