- gorkish 2y agoIn truth it actually does have an ergonomics issue. Since the button position is orthogonal to the screen and mounted upside down, the left and right directions are evident but up and down directions are ambiguous. It turns out you 'pull' the thing toward you for 'down' and 'push' it away from you for 'up'. Did you guess right?

The only thing dumber than that is that DJI remotes use the same braindead scheme to control camera tilt: pushing the wheel moves the camera up and pulling on it - moves it down. Anyone who piloted anything would, of course, agree that it's insane (you push the stick to go down and pull on it to go up). I had to open mine up and swap the wires because DJI in their infinite wisdom didn't make that configurable in their app.
- brokenmachine 2y agoOh my god, I've had this exact problem. So many "cinematic" drone videos ruined by me tilting the wrong way... I spent ages searching for that option in the app, but never thought of physically swapping the wires in the controller. You've just given me a new project. It's so stupid that DJI doesn't make that configurable.
