Now that I have my Plus and see that the manual camera tilt via Ch7/Tx lever only works when the app is 'not' running (unfortunately making it pointless since you don't have FPV if the app isn't running) I'm wondering if anyone that has reverted back to older firmware in the Plus has tried to see if the manual tilt works then (like it it did on the P2V)?
As indicated above (and in the other Ch7 thread) the new firmware certainly does not allow 'Tx lever tilt' of the camera in a way that's of any practical use at all .... leaving the slow and cumbersome up/down arrows of the app as the only means to point the camera, which (IMHO) totally sucks.
With the lever and a bit of practice ..... you could just push it all the way, half way, or wherever you knew you wanted the camera to be, just by touch alone, without ever having to move your hand off the Tx or even look at the preview window.
It was great!!
Now you have to move your hand off the TX to hold the arrow icon, and worse ....... 'wait' for the camera to slooooowly move to the angle you want ... and you 'must' lose all "situational awareness" because you need to be looking at the preview image and not the Plus while navigating things like under bridges low fast shots, shots close to objects, and etc.
The camera tilting by tilting the Tx/app device combo is 'really' awkward .
It's just inconsistent in use.
You start off at one angle, then you end up with the TX/app device combo at a different angle to achieve the same camera angle until the Tx/device is completely upside down, or at least pointing away from you at such an angle that you can't even see the screen.
It looks good in the specs, but is not really pracical in use.
Hopefully there's a work-around .... or an update on the way that will allow it to work like it did in the P2V.
Lets all piss and snivel to DJI to bring back the Tx tilt ... and do it via the "gang banger" link that another person posted!
