The initial post is not about this, please read it again!
The offset is intended. When the gimbal is angled, the camera’s projection on the ground changes versus when its pointing down, so we offset the path to take that into account and ensure correct coverage
I understand the original post was different I was referring to the screenshot in that post which flys the drone beyond the boundary’s. My point is that I want the drone to stay within the boundary lines I create as with other apps. I also understand how the camera will project which is why I want to stay within the boundary lines and let me set the pitch to cover the area I want when capturing video, not photos. If this is the way Litchi utilizes a mapping component then I understand. No biggie. I just like to have the control to fly over a specific area and allow me to set it up to cover what I want captured. Just an example is if I want to fly a map over an open pasture area which has many tress around it I can set it up with the boundary lines so it doesn’t fly out of those lines and into any of the trees.
I want to be clear, I’m not complaining, I’m just giving my observations. I’m one of the nicest people you could meet and I’m never rude in any way. Litchi is a very good app. With the new Litchi hub I’ve been trying to see if there is anything I can do to test any of the newer components or functions to see if it can do something different or maybe even work a bit better than the DL app. I know that the DL app as well as I believe two others don’t work the way Litchi does but I understand this is the way you utilize the mapping component. I appreciate the response and will just work with what there is. Thank you and Best wishes. Mike.
The area you draw is meant to be the area you want to map, not the area you fly in.
If the gimbal is angled and the expected result is a map of the drawn area, the flight path should be offset accordingly.
The other apps you mention may simply not have taken that into account.
I understand why Litchi sets them up this way. As I already mentioned it’s no biggie. I’ll continue to see if I can find any of the new features or functions helpful fit me. Thanks.
