> 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.






Oh 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.
