Beta Circle or Spiral Feature

Help
1

Hi, while using the beta version I notice in the waypoint menu there is an option to create a circle or a spiral. When I try to use it, i get a message that it’s unavailable for the drone I’m using. (Mini 3 Pro). Does anyone have the same issue or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks Russ

Are you sure you picked the correct drone model in the Flight Settings.

Hi TriBar, thanks for the help. I did find the option to select my drone. One more question though since the “Export to CSV” is coming soon and not available yet is there a way to move the POI in the circle or spiral options?

Thanks Russ

You can Drag a WP/POI to whatever position you want, but ONLY when your flight plan is UNLOCKED.

Hi, when I create a simple circular mission it places the POI in the center. When I try to move the POI out of the circle it move the circle with it as if there tied together. This is the case even when the mission is unlocked.

I made the mission public so you can have a look. Name is RAC TEST

The POI is the center of your orbit/spiral, so naturally when you move the POI it also moves the entry and start waypoints

Hi, thanks for the info. I realize why the POI is in the middle when it’s created. What I would like to do is move the POI outside the circle so my light on top of the drone always faces the camera at the launch point. I know there are other way to do this but I was intrigued when I seen this option in the BETA version.
