ok so flew 2 test missions today had one fail (incorrect camera settings)

the 2 i flew where ok ish, both involved orbits and climbing orbits from 20 foot up to 200.

it seemed a bit jerky in places as though the drone (MA2) had forgot for a split second what it was doing not smooth like the built in quick shot orbits ,i tried one to compare ,the mission orbit when a bit higher seemed a little smoother.not too bad for first attempts .the RTH was spot on .any ideas why it was not super smooth as there was no wind at all.

When using my Samsung Tab A, I found the same thing, the Phantom would stop just about every time it took a photo when doing a mapping flight. When I switched over to using my Smart controller, it became very smooth flight with no stopping or jerking. I can only assume my old Tablet doesn't have the processing power to keep up.

ok jim thanks not sure what i can change as it was perfect conditions today ,large 300ft radius orbits at 8mph.

the MA2 is very very stable even in wind but there was none.
