I am trying to understand what is the better option for our fixed wing airplane when using pix4d. We have the option to build a roll axis stabilized gimbal or a non stabilized gimbal for our cameras. While the image quality will most likely be better

Then I am back to 3.2.3, and gimbal works again. When flying te
