Spark still flies too fast in tripod mode

New pilot, the spark still seems to move too fast in tripod mode. I’m looking for those slow buttery cinematic looking shots and things still seem fast and jerky. Is there a setting I’m missing? TIA
 
Haven't done it for a while but I think you can reduce the "power" of the sticks in the RC settings.
 
The Spark’s 2 axis gimbal shows its limitations when turning, this can be masked by plenty of forward motion while turning in a gentle arc. Remember to move the RC sticks slowly to avoid unnecessary jerks, the more you bang the sticks, the less buttery the footage.

Sadly this function is not available for the Spark Tripod mode when comprared to its bigger siblings. You can adjust the overall stick speed but that affects every mode... I have been begging for just that function to be added to Tripod mode over at DJI for a while, as have others.

What Koala said too.... move forward or backward at the same time as you yaw, and it will be better-ish! By elevating or descending at the same time you yaw will also improve the result. If you watch a lot of cinematic spark footage, you will begin to notice the absence of any yaw shots.
