So no fix for the Gimbal sway that makes many features like long exposure, video, timelapse unusable?

I asked this of Ken Booth and waiting on a response.

Just in time for my new acquisition.

Is the gimbal issue prevalent on every Lite+?

I haven't seen anyone report theirs isn't doing it.

That blows.

I mean, I can't complain since I was aware of the issue when I bought it. Hopefully it'll get fixed in a few months. In the meantime, I guess I'll have to forgo hyperlapse and exposure shooting.

Yeah can’t do Hyperlapse. Or long exposure. Also if you need steady video that’s a no go. Basically photos only.

Well, I could return it but damn I got it at such a good deal. I don't know. I guess I could stick it out for now.

 

[bkushner]

What kind of deal? Usually full price on new drones.

$1550 for the premium bundle.

So I saved over $250.

Where did you get this deal from?

Where did you get this deal from?

Local seller (Open Box).

I couldn't say no. It was too good.

Want that the price before the recent price hike? I think I paid something like that. Hope you didn’t get at autelpillots.com.

Nah, I bought mine from a local vendor. I'm curious though -- is a scam site?

I wouldn't say that. They do ship the product, just look out if you need to return. Nightmare.

Ah ok cool, because I was looking at some of their accessories and wanted to buy a few of them down the road.

Good to know! Thank you.

It's the first thing I'll test.

Yep, what has been seen cannot be unseen. Every youtube video of the Lite+ I've seen has the sway.

• Optimized heading accuracy in Hyper lapse

Is this to fix the Hyperlapse issue?

I'm hoping thats what it means, and that:

• Optimized the target locking control performance in video mode

Reduces the gimbal issues during video. I had done a cold IMU calibration that seemed to help the wandering gimbal but it still shows up every now and then.

I had really hoped that they would add log to this by now, but seeing it got added to the Nano+ so hopeful it will make its way to the Lite + soon...
