Does anyone know if the DJI WKM has a separate gimbal override setting?

I was told that MK has an option to set the speed and response for an override switch. On my setup now, if I use my assigned lever on my radio to override the pitch, it will read in real time and therefore is very glitchy. I saw someones post recently showing how they added an aluminum dial to their transmitter and i noticed the control of the gimbal was very smoothed out and controlled. The only way to muffle the override on mine is to turn down the gimbal speed it self and this just makes the gimbal self leveling obsolete. I am really hoping DJI has this option as it makes a second operator for pan/tilt more realistic.

The smoothness of the Tx input is often a function of what type of Tx you have, the servo outputs beyond the 4 main stick inputs are often not as high resolution and maybe analog only.

You may be right but from what I have seen, the delay from input on the tx is way too slow for this to be the case. While maintaining a responsive gimbal speed for normal stabilization, you should also be able to set the gains for which the gimbal reacts to override input. I know i have seen this on MK just wondering about the WKM.

With the wookong you can set the disturbance volume and the center point. which is useful for the roll function. I used a spirit level to set up both axis so that it maintained a level base plate. It's only drawback is that it is a little slow during the initial movement. That can be overcome to a degree with a 3X servo pot. The TX input travel speed has to be set inside the Tx. On the 14 MZ only one of the additional channels has a fine enough resolution to operate the pitch function to a pro level of smoothness whilst having the pot sensitivity increased.. Other later radios may be different. It is usual to not have a stick/rotary knob input that can move the camera at more than 5 deg/sec.
What we don't have is a separate gain for the accelerometer and one for the gyro, we need more gyro and less acc. To get around this problem I ditched the gears and used a direct servo arm and then used ineffective crank angle to accentuate the initial movement without increasing the total travel volume.

What i want is this kind of lag in response. The MK software allows you to set the gains for the gimbal and the override separately from what I have heard. Bart. care to chime in here?
