Ok, I shot some more panoramas.
Even more than the TWO I already shot? Unbelievable, you're boasting!
Quote:
The time to shoot a panorama is about 2 minutes without stitching time. Extremely long. I hate this.
Me too. That's exactly the reason why I didn't shoot a second panorama with the Nano. Especially because stitching happens immediately, disturbing the flight and additional recordings.

No camera manual settings to shoot panoramas (WTF??)
Yes, WTF! Manual settings are always a MUST! Especially for Log recordings.

The photos come out with significant vignetting, I have to correct this heavily in Lightroom. This never happened with DJI (Mini 2 and Air2S).
That's not such a big deal for me - just every camera has vignetting. But most cameras have profiles for automatically compensating vignetting with leading post-processing softwares. No such profile for the Nano till now. The Nano's RAWs also show strong distortion towards the picture corners, very difficult to manually remove. Also, a profile would do the trick. Autel, do you hear me?

The drone is significantly slower than DJI Mini 2 against the wind (20 kmph wind speed). With tailwind it flies OK it reaches 35-40 kmph, but with headwind it is a disaster it crawls at 5-6 kmph. You are going almost nowhere.
Did you try deactivating obstacle avoidance by now? I found many situation where this combined with ludicrous mode and speed priority made a vital change to the better.
But there IS an issue with the other two modes, Autel is too conversative with motor power. Seems like they set a distinct maximum value, ignoring the present speed. Thus it seems like motor power is retricted to a value for reaching a specific speed under windless conditions - without increasing motor power if wind conditions change. This needs a correction, as this is likely to cause the "creeping".

There is significant delay in video transmission from the drone. This impacts the framing of the photos. You try to position the drone for the shot and the drone moves after you stop touching the controls.
I read they use a high bandwith for transmission, also use 2.7K transmission if the drone is near the controller. This might explain the delays. I see NO use for 2.7K if flying with a smartphone and it's tiny screen. Thus restricting the bandwith to 1080p/720p may speed up transmission noticeably. Also an issue needing a firmware fix (or a better explanation of the settings if that option is already there).
All in all: It's all software-related issues which Autel COULD fix, but we don't know if they actually DO. So I understand your thoughts and concerns quite well.
