its just as smooth for me, the only difference is that its only taking movement orders from your inputs, it wont try to hold position when you let go of the sticks like it does in gps mode(no brakes) and if there is a cross wind it will get pushed off course, drifting with the wind where gps mode counters the wind and flies straight.
It's not the flying that's tough, it's the drift when I'm shooting video. In GPS is dead on to what I need it to do. I need to keep practicing the atti to maintain the shots. I guess I'll break out my little Hubsan.
oh yea, i hear ya, it definitely takes some practice. im not saying only fly in atti mode, im just saying you should learn how to use atti mode with a decent amount of skill and that way if you ever have this problem(which you wont) or lose gps signal for any other reason which does happen sometimes, then you can switch to atti to regain control and likely save yourself from a crashIt's not the flying that's tough, it's the drift when I'm shooting video.

Mod values are always checked. Before every single take off.
most everyone will tell you that compass calibration before every flight is not necessary, just check your mod values and make sure they are in range, if not then calibrate, if they are you can safely fly.
Yes you are right I probably calibrate my compass to much, I always check my mod values. I don't calibrate every battery but usually every different location.
If your mod values are out of range try moving 20 feet away in a different direction. .
Make sure and power off your ac between moves or you risk having flyaway behavior. ..
