Yaw endpoint

[DGNOO]

Hi Folks
I see lots of posts re smoothing out the control of the drone.
However some post mention the yaw endpoint at 30. Mine will not allow lower than 50.
Please advise how I get this lower than 50.
Thanks

What you read might apply to a different drone. The Mavic 2 has a minimum setting of 50 for Yaw Endpoint (And Yaw Sensitivity under Cinematic settings).
It says in front of the box which shows your selected value which setting is applicable: 50%-250%

In EXP and SENSITIVITY you can smooth down things only till a certain degree.
If you want very smooth flying for filming I would use the tripod mode.
Once selected you can dial it down a lot. Esp. the Yaw setting is very helpful.

Thanks so much but where do I get to this screen once on tripod mode?
Thanks

Wow you the first person to advise of this. I have been flying for a while and have been told by “ experts” no way of turning down yaw.
Excuse my ignorance but what is HS and VS?
Thanks So much

Horizontal Speed and Vertical Speed.
If you dial everything down the drone moves not faster than a turtle ;-)

You are a gent and a scholar!

Don’t you lose sensors in tripod mode? ...I’m going to read up on this since I’ve been trying to control yaw without much success.

Hi
I did not think so but please let

You don't. You can switch off/on all sensors in either flight mode.
There is only one sensor that can't be switched off: The upper infrared sensor.
That can be annoying indoors or if you fly underneath trees or similar. The drone will decline to go up close to a ceiling/obstacles.
Workaround is to tape that sensor.

Anyway:
The sensors don't have anything to do with how fast or sensitive yaw movement is.
This only depends on your setting for yaw endpoint or yaw setting in tripod mode.
And how smooth your fingers can move the sticks

Actually in tripod mode, you gain the side sensors.

And in Active Track as well...
In this mode it's mandatory and can't be switched off, which is also a bummer.

I know, I was just pointing out in the other post it was opposite to what they said. Tripod turns on, not off.
