its terrible on the inspire 1 because it doesn't have a first person view camera like the inspire 2 so you cant get very technical with it. a lot of pre planning your shots. it is amazing to get straight pan shots for sure but the pilot is essentially guessing. if your above all obstacles its fine. but you cant be anywhere tricky running dual operator.

Right now is not a good time of year for the acreage photos. Even just doing normal aerial photos. The lighting is bright, but the shadows are severe due to the angle of the sun even at mid day. When the snow gets on the ground it should balance out and give a softer light in the shadows.

Oh the typical gimbal tilt. You can manually correct this in the settings. “Adjust gimbal roll” I believe it’s called. Will set your horizon straight and level. Or if you have something perfectly flat and level do a gimbal calibration it will do its own thing and level it. I struggle with mine still to this day. Seems every time I turn it off it resets it back to factory and when I fly it next my settings are off.

I can move the camera any place I want. I just usually mess around with it.

I was just referring to the horizon not being straight. That’s just a pet peeve of mine with my drone. The fact that it won’t auto correct for it.

Another flat earther huh. I just figured the earth is round so the horizon would reflect that in the images.

You won’t see the curvature of the earth in under 500m in elevation. If you compare the horizon on the left side to the right side of your image, it shouldn’t be so uneven.

To see curvature of the earth you gotta be 30,000+ft. Googled it.

If you see any curvature from your video of photos it’ll be from the camera itself.
