    When using the M5 with the landing gear option, is it normal for the UAV to free spin a little on takeoff. Not oscillate or move back and forth but just rotate freely. I have it in airborne mode and believe I have it in the "Park" setting. The pan motor gives some resistance to movement but not enough to stop the UAV from spinning at startup. The UAV will normally spin between 180 to 360 degrees while spooling up. Anyone else had this issue?

    I have used the Movi M5 as a handheld unit and on the drone with a standard gimbal, not as part of the landing gear. In both of those cases it worked well. Also once I get the aircraft off the ground the gimbal works well.

    Curtis try putting it in Kill mode rather than "Park" until you have some lift on the copter. Pan motor will slowly spin the deck unless there is resistance, same as when you hold it.
