Greetings. I searched the forum and Wes’s utilities but found nothing to create the above mission. For example, the UAS flies to a waypoint, hovers, starts video recording, then starts a slow panning rotation 360°, stops recording, and proceeds to the next waypoint to repeat a similar pan. Ideally, each of the pan shots will be at the same rate of rotation, such 1° per second. I would appreciate suggestions from anyone please. I can fly it with a Mavic 3 Pro, an Air 2S, or even a P4P. Thank you in advance! ---

I have not created a utility like that. It would not be that difficult to create but there are limitations. For example, there is no way to rotate the heading of a drone at a given rate at a single waypoint. A work-around would be to have the drone fly a circular pattern of waypoints spaced close together while the heading of the drone is always pointing away from the center of that circle. ---

Could something like this work? It’s a very tight orbit (which is what I I use to pan), speed at 1, start recording at POI 2, stop recording at POI 3. ![Pan Idea](https://forum.flylitchi.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/75a3d475dfa2aa34279e8b0d28db25ba80a62384.jpeg) ---

It should work but a couple points of clarification: 1. One doesn’t start or stop recording at a POI. Instead, you start or stop recording at a waypoint. I’m guessing that is what you meant. 2. In order for a panning drone to capture usable video footage, the panning speed must be extremely slow. I think you will find this difficult to do. If you do get usable footage, let us know. ---

> [@wesbarris](#): > > 1. the panning speed must be extremely slow. Very true. For example, if you travel a circle of 6 ft diameter at 0.2 mph, it will take 64 seconds. If you travel much faster, the video will be a constant blur ---

Waypoint, yes…my bad. ---

I’ve created a short WP-Mission to get a 360-Vid -\> [Litchi Hub](https://hub.flylitchi.com/?m=d0gZAGerrO) The Main-Idea was, to have a WP for every Heading (here only four) directions facing to East/North/West/South. Note: Put the four WPs with four Headings to the exact Coords, the Drone won’t rotate at this point! Perhaps this helps? Is there a possibility to zoom in more into for placing the WPs closer together? ---
