Finally had time to play with my zoom.

I noticed that when I had an upward (positive) tilt up on the camera that it reverts back to 0° when flying forward but yet when looking slightly down, it does not do this.

Any input of this is normal or a possible bug.

I haven't noticed this, but I'm normally wearing goggles when actually looking up, otherwise I'm just looking between forward and down with the RC.
What do you do, hover and long press to look up, then stick forward?
I'll head out in a minute and see what mine does with android.

Yep, mine does too.

Thanks for the reply. This is annoying when I was shooting since the mountain ridge was much higher so I had a positive tilt and it kept leveling back to zero.

My hunch is this is how they eliminated the issue with seeing the blades when flying forward
 
You could be right. Would be nice if there was an override for cases like that.
I did not try switching to FPV instead of Follow mode and just thought about that, did you try that?
 
Try putting it in FPV and slowly sticking forward. But, as soon as you get on the stick, it's still going to center the gimbal
 
How do you like Litchi?
I need something to plot grids to fly for search and rescue.
I have aeroranger, but haven't tried to use it yet
