No, but it does work to hold the position. And as you fly and the Quad moves forward or back, the camera tries to stay in its position. So if you fly back, the camera will try to hold itself down to where you have it maxed.
Oh, and your numbers may be closer but they are not the be all end all for all. Mine are quite different than yours and mine max both ways without binding or going in the red.
Do you know what the red means? I guess not. I can tell you its not that it makes it prettier.
You admit you are new to this in your video. As you say you were "puzzled" but you think you figured it out. You even claim it is a bug in the software. No, the settings are what make it right. Granted they could have had it a little closer to where it needs to be but these are mass produced. So in comes RC experience.
Hi, not to belabor this subject much further. I Just felt I needed to clarify some things.
With my settings as they are in the Assistant app with 650 -825 and -950 I get full scroll front and back with a power on centered position. When listening carefully, at maximum tilt up or down there is no further movement or stress that I can even faintly detect on my own Phantom 2 Vision. And even with it in full tilt down, it wont stay all the way down if for example if the Phantom tilts forward, the camera will then tilt up and not stay in the farthest down position. It never stays stuck in any one position.
Regarding the "Red" indicator. Even just now experimenting using a value of 500 instead of 650 (which does not move the camera fully down) the scroll indicator in the iPhone app will still turn "red". What do you have to say of that? You say if it's red the servo is always going to be on and grinding, well it's obviously not as with a 500 value the gimbal can't tilt in it's max downward position yet the app slider will still turn red.
Regarding my overall experience. As of my particular video demonstrating the "fix" for the gimbal issue I only had my Phantom 2 Vision for a week at that point so my experience with the Phantom 2 Vision specifically, was limited. Although I had already spent a large amount of time reading through varying forums, watching all DJI video's and thoroughly reading through all DJI manuals. Also I have a lot of prior experience with RC controlled vehicles and have built complicated RC models back in the mid 80's. I'm also a computer engineer and technician and have had college training in electronic and computer repair as well so I have no shortage of "experience" in the general field of either electronics, or RC products and servos. So from my background and general knack for fixing things, figuring out the solution on my own wasn't much of a problem.
In the end what all this means is we can agree to disagree on this matter. I feel that my personal settings and recommendation work well with my own Phantom 2 Vision (as well as other peoples) and I don't hear any movement or grinding of the servo's or gears at either max down or up tilt. Also in my opinion DJI should have had the values set properly to begin to provide full range of movement of the camera tilt, so yes I consider that a bug, granted though a minor and easily fixed bug.
P.S. It's worth noting though that the latest firmware update did increase the scroll up value from it's previous max of -450 (which wouldn't let you tilt up to a level position) to a max of -1000 (more than needed) while leaving the other two values the same as before, which were 1000 (down tilt which is also more than needed) and 0 for center (which leaves the camera tilting part way down from power on).
