Mini 3 Pro smooth orbit
In the past, I tried to use DL for programmed paths with Air2s and Mini2. I was really disappointed with the jerkiness/micro-adjustments, so pretty much only used DL for mapping. Litchi wasn't any better, by the way.
I recently watched a YouTube video of somebody using a Mini3 Pro with Dronelink, and I didn't see the robotic adjustments, but the turns were gradual so hard to tell.
To check, I ran the same 16.1 meter radius corkscrew plan with the Air2s and Mini3. I calibrated the compass on each before the runs. The Air2s output was as jerky as I expected. The Mini3 Pro output was pretty much indistinguishable from footage using the Fly App POI mode. If this kind of result is consistent, this is a huge improvement.
Here are the videos(be careful staring too much, as your vision might continue the spinning):
I searched this site. Why is nobody talking about this?

We have made zero code changes to address this issue since it was originally determined to be a hardware issue that only DJI could address.
Probably because everyone that was blaming us for the issue originally moved on.

So...would that imply that there are improvements in the Mini 3 Pro hardware/firmware that make things smoother?
To the OP Neal McConnell check out these 2 videos I did with my mini2

Bad links when I try them Martin.

Likely, or just different firmware entirely.
Had some jerkiness on Autel Evo II Pro v2 some time back...haven't tested since but it ended up looking like a drone thing, than the flight software issue. Jerkiness characteritics on Autel's Evo II Pro v2 is different from what i observed on the DJI Mavic 2 Pro. i'll try the Miin 3 Pro wheni have an Android device that works with the Controller.
From an initial test yesterday using my DJI RC Pro controller, Dronelink DJI app and Mini 3 Pro, I was also very impressed with the smooth waypoint mission I set up - no jerkiness or micro adjustments, typically found on yawing with the Mini 2/Air2s setup.
Let's hope this stays, as it's a very convenient alternative to that of the DJI onboard waypoint/Mavic 2 pro - especially in those areas where the M2P cannot be flown.
