Air2s - Photos and Video at each Waypoint

Help
1

Air2s - New Litchi user.
If I want to take a photo at each Waypoint, do I need to add pause or stay between the photo and stopping or starting the video ?

Example :
Waypoint 1
Stay for 20 sec.
Take Photo
Start Recording

Waypoint 2
Stay for 20 Sec
Stop Recording
Take photo
start recording

Thank you

Yes.
And in Mission Settings, Path Mode must be set to Straight Lines.
If Path Mode is set to Curved Turns, Waypoint Actions will NOT be executed.

Thanks TriBar

yep… I used straight lines for my flight.

Just to confirm, I would add a small stay, say for 5 seconds, between commands.

Example :
Waypoint 1
Stay for 20 sec.
Take Photo
Stay for 5 sec. <–add
Start Recording

Waypoint 2
Stay for 20 Sec
Stop Recording
stay for 5 sec. <–add
Take photo
stay for 5 sec. <–add
start recording

Thanks

When you want to shoot photos in JPG&RAW this would be a good idea because RAW photos are much bigger in file size than just JPG and will take some time to write to the SD-card (depending on the writing speed of the card).

Does this mean that if I start recording at Way Point1 and end at Way Point3 the video will not record if it’s a Curved Path?

Also how can I see pictures or videos of my mission on my Android Phone.

It is my understanding that the pilot needs to start (and stop) video recording manually when flying a mission defined with Curved Path. Actions are totally ignored.
