I love how you were exact about your pro settings. Certainly people can choose for themselves, but you gave a great baseline and explanation about every setting in the pro mode. You explained it so that I could understand with examples and reasons "why" for every setting. I am going to type all your tips on flying and settings out so I can use them in the field without having to look at my iPhone. #1 DJI Mini 2 Video so far!
