I believe it. Every input in one seems to require a change in every other input. It's like shooting a bird
with a multi-shot camera when you are fully zoomed in. The camera shoots until your mempry card is full,
so that's no problem. But you are fully zoomed in, AND there is enough lag in your viewfinder that everytime
you try to move the camera to keep the bird centered, you end up WAY over-correcting and then there is no
bird in the field of view, so you try to correct for that and it just keeps getting worse. The only
way to get it back is to stop shooting and re-frame. Of course in a chopper, you can't just 'stop shooting'
because you are piloting a completely unstable aircraft. You can't just glide your way out of it.
