I am aware of the "yaw" and "pitch" settings, but can't get a happy medium for flight videos.
Every setting I have tried makes videos jerky fast movements.
Any and all suggestions welcome.
TIA

Usually there are 3 settings on your remote controller: Cine, Regular, and Sport so please try Cine.
 
SO are you saying you understand Gain and Expo?

Turn slower.
As a general rule-of-thumb, an object should take at least around 6 seconds to cross one side of the frame to the other in order to avoid judder.

Also, follow the 180° shutter rule.

Slow the yaw down first of all, and then find an open spot ( not your suspicious neighbors house) and practice orbits. Lots and lots of orbits. The key is muscle memory and that takes lots of slow practice.
Your drone can do things the movies could only dream of just a few years ago.
 
I have mine set similar but I am still learning to do orbits manually, after much practice I am still finding it difficult to keep the object in the centre, I am not a fan of quickshots as they don't allow me to use 60fps and I find the video stutters slightly when you play it back at 30fps, I am going to stick to learning to do it manually then I have the satisfaction of knowing I did it myself

Here is the best from my last practice the other day, obviously the tighter the circle (chimney) the harder it is to keep things in the centre.
I took many videos then decided on the best to use, I guess that's the best method take lots of video keep practicing and now worries if you have a decent size SD card and time on your hands.

Are you flying these circles because you like to fly yourself or are you not aware the drone can automatically do this for you [perfectly] in several ways? Or, maybe it's just the Mini 2?

I covered this in my earlier post ;)
