I've been flying the Mavic for about a month now, and had a toy drone before that. So, thus far I've been very comfortable with the flight controls. I've taken/shared some very nice still photos, but to date the videos have been just shown to people from my phone. They're interesting, but I had not done any editing.
I'm working on my first video and realized how jerky movements are when I rotate the mavic or the gimbal. The sweeping shots when I'm just climbing or cruising are great. So it may be that I just have to plan my shots better.
Anytime I initiate a rotation (left stick sidewise movements, default stick setup) that moment is unusable. In fact, even when i thought I was doing a smooth rotation pan i find that I am actually moving too fast and the image isn't crisp. At the time, I thought I was rotating slowly and on the display during the flight it looked that way.
I am aware that I can dumb down the stick controls so that input results in less movement, but I do like the most agility I can get for flight controls. ? I haven't messed with stick calibration, but perhaps if I could set it for gradual movements for <50% actuation and full speed for >50% actuation, that would help.
I may have answered most of my own questions, but I'm open to advice.
I suspect when many of you sat down to edit your first video you unexpectedly found yourself looking at the same steaming turd.
