I find that the controls on my P1 are a bit sensitive for shooting good video. I set the yaw gain to 40% and now it is easier to pan the copter around for smooth video. I wanted to do the same for some of the other controls and some of those default settings are 125% gain. Why are they more than 100%? Why are not all the gains set to a maximum of 100%? Has anyone set these lower to smooth out the handling? I understand that this might make the copter a little sluggish and not be able to hot dog it around but I am willing to make this trade-off in order to shoot some professional looking video.
Smooth control for videos. What's with 125%?

I find 125% fine. But it took a little practice - my first few flights were really jerky. I've managed slow or fast turns and maneuvers at 125%. A better transmitter will also make it easier without having to sacrifice performance/capabilities (though, they cost a pretty penny).

Or a better remote... and just so you know, by "first *few* flights", I am defining "few" as a pretty decent number. It took me a while, and most of my early flights were learning flights.
Lots of guys have modified their RC to slow down the yaw rate. Basically you splice some resistors in the wires from the yaw potentiometer, and a toggle switch to enable/disable.
Also, lowered the gain from 125% to 30% and got a lot of yaw drift. Now back to 125 until the potentiometers come.
