What the thread found

• Reducing the drop time when operating in very low mode can improve control and camera positioning
• Practicing with the hand positioned above the gimbal helps operators become comfortable with this technique over time
• Operators can develop proficiency with above-gimbal hand positioning through repeated practice sessions

Depends on

• The discussion does not provide specific drop time values or measurements
• Experience with above-gimbal operation varies by operator skill level and equipment familiarity
• One contributor mentions using equipment in a disabled state during practice, which may not reflect real operating conditions
