Hi all
Sorry for my various posts looking for help.. I think I've 'almost' got everything to do with my Mavic figured out, but there's a couple more things I want to sort out.
The first is this:
When I fly full out in sports mode, there's a bump that occurs during filming. Well, there's a couple of bumps. First there's bumps when I first push the right stick forward and when I stop, fair enough I figure, probably nothing the gimbal can do to compensate for the sudden starts and stops, but then there's also a bunch of bumps while in motion, even though I'm flying steadily ahead. My phone also displays constant gimbal pitch limit reached notifications (not just one, but the message pops up repeatedly on top of itself). Are these notifications and bumps normal?
I know that sport mode isn't really made for filming, but if I could make it work without those bumps it would certainly be useful. I often find myself speeding up long shots of landscapes in editing, which is all good unless it's a shot where you can see people walking and they look like they're walking weirdly fast. Filming a car driving, it would be great to be able to film while flying fast as well.
Here's an example of the bump. This was filmed in very low wind conditions, and it's consistent with the bump in sport mode I always have. What do you say?
Also to give you a little more troubleshooting background, I did an IMU calibration and gimbal calibration because I was having some jello issues in bright sun. Haven't had jello since then so maybe that solved it. I didn't fly too much in sport mode before I did this so I can't say for sure if it was bumpy in sport mode before the IMU cal or not. For the record I did check the floor I did the IMU cal with a level before I did it, and I left the props on during the calibration like in the picture the phone shows while doing it (but unlike DJI's instructional video that says to take them off - it seems there's some lack of clarity there - you'd think that would be important because having the props on would change the angle of the Mavic on the floor slightly).
