I have seen a few videos of people flying fpv with and without gimble in GPS/ATTI/Manual modes.
What do you guys use? and for what purpose? Fun/ smooth cinematography ect.
I think im gonna try manual Mode With FPV but not sure if gimble is best...
What are you guys doing?
 
1. Practice in manual mode before trying it through FPV. Completely different control behavior than GPS or even plain ATTI mode.

2. If/when you use manual mode for FPV, I'd stick to a camera not on a gimbal, because you have to be extremely in tune with the aircraft's motion, position and orientation.

3. Even when flying FPV in GPS/ATTI modes, the above still holds true to some degree. While lot of people do use a gimbal-balanced camera for FPV, it does not give you a great sense of which way your Phantom is rolling or pitching and by how much. The fisheye distortion on the GoPro and other cameras on a gimbal can also make distances very hard to judge visually.
