looks great was that using dronelink ? with a mavic air 2 ?I've been working hard to get virtualsticks smooth.
The fix is to set the gimbal in FREE-mode, but its restricted in the SDK, so it cant be done from there. So I had to bypass the sdk all completly.
The problem is, that when in virtualstick mode the gimbal always in some kind of follow mode. And that follow mode isn't very well implemented, it's stutters when doing slow yaw-movements. It its windy it gets even worse.
When in waypoint-mode the gimbal is in another mode, where the gimbal is much smoother and doesn't follow the yaw in the same way.
I'm trying it out here:
Virtualstick, super smooth (ok not completly, it was the first try)
So, the answer is Yes, virtualstick can be smooth, but you have to do the setup in i very very certain way. Sofar I havn't seen any other app doing that.
Can you upload any examples of your not so smooth film, Im very interested to try my fix in the same conditions.
If anyone is interested in this I can upload a good demonstration video where you can see how bad virtualsticks really is.
Thanks, very good question, has boothered me for years, I find it strange no one has complained about this until now.
looks very good ,i like dronelink but its just not smooth enough for me ,i was even thinking of trying another drone its bugging me that much im at a loss.mavic air 2, it's my own app. As far as I know no other app uses this technique.
It can do pans as slow as 0.1degree/s, super smooth.
I'm chooked by other jobs, so I wont be releasing it for a while. My goal is to release something when the SDK for the mini2 gets released.
The problem is that DJI might pull me developer license, since I've done some reverse engineering, they don't seems to allow that
Yeah that will not help at all. The guy havnt understood the root cause of the problem.I found a link to the guys youtube page here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCizGjyqRxvA91QWOuoDxsvA/videos but I can't find the post/thread in the DL forum. This is his video where he mentions that he tweaked the settings to try to make everything smoother.
Sorry I didn't mean to sound rudeThe point was just to say that I thought DL has additional settings to smooth out pans. Or they are working on it.
You didn't sound rude. All good.Sorry I didn't mean to sound rude
It's was very good info you gave me!

Awesome!! Thanks for chiming in and thanks for posting your videos about DL!That is my YouTube page,
I found if you change the motion settings you can have better results. These are the settings i used for the above video. This was using Beta 137 . I have not had a chance to try 141 with the same settings.View attachment 124969
There is no “virtual sticks” mode, as such. It just means that the app is continuously flying the drone through the RC as though it were you doing it. If you want smooth waypoint flights using a Mini or MA2, you need a phone/tablet with the fastest processor you can get. All of the real-time calculations for the flight are being carried out on your phone/tablet and this is often a problem for older devices.The problem is, that when in virtualstick mode the gimbal always in some kind of follow mode.

I bow to your greater knowledge. I was (mistakenly, obviously) basing my comment on information from another site. However, I’d still contend that for most waypoint missions which involve camera positioning and more complex manoeuvres, a good processor is one of the requirements to get smoother video - backed up by the Dronelink dev.Totaly wrong.
Where did I say that? I can’t see how you could possibly fly missions in those drones which don’t have a native waypoint capability without virtual sticks (other than completely manually, of course).If you found a way to control the drone without using virtualstick programmatically, I'm very impressed.
There is a 3rd possibilty. You can control the drone with the same messages that are sent by the remote. Mavic 1 uses this when flying in wifi-mode.I bow to your greater knowledge.
