What is the difference between the "follow" gimbal mode and the "FPV" mode on the DJI Mavic 4 Pro: The Mavic 4 Pro offers two main gimbal modes: "follow" and "FPV," each with distinct purposes and visual styles. In follow mode, the gimbal stabilizes the camera on the horizon regardless of how the drone is tilted or rotated, creating a smooth, level image ideal for cinematic footage.

This mode is preferred for most audiovisual productions, as it eliminates distracting jerky movements. FPV (First Person View) mode, on the other hand, partially blocks horizontal stabilization so the camera follows the drone's tilts and turns, simulating the perspective a pilot would have on board.

This creates a more immersive and dynamic feel, commonly used in action or extreme sports footage. The choice between the two modes depends on the desired visual effect: professional and clean stability in the case of tracking, or realism and adrenaline in the case of FPV.

Switching between the two is quick from the DJI Fly app, allowing you to adapt to different scenes during the same flight. This way, a single project can integrate fluid and more dynamic shots without the need for complex equipment changes.
