Record a flight path while flying manually?

[Bill_Hagen]

I have a construction site that I need to get a really precise video of that I can repeat weekly. So I’d like to manually fly the route a few times to get it right, then once I’m comfortable with it record that route and save it so I can re-fly the same route.

There may be some gimbal angle changes.

How do I record this route and any camera changes with Litchi? (IOS, Mavic 2 Pro)

Thanks!

Obtain the log file of a flight (using AirData is the easiest way) then use my “AirData to Litchi” converter.

Another way for creating a waypoint mission

MANUAL PLANNING WHILST FLYING (When using a Mini 2/Mavic Air 2/Air 2S) In the Litchi App set the function button (KEYS) of the remote controller to ‘Waypoint at Aircraft’. In Waypoint Mode tap the onscreen Mission Setting button and set: -Heading Mode to ‘Custom(WD)’ -Finish Action -Path Mode -Cruising Speed -Default Gimbal Pitch Mode to ‘Interpolate’ -Rotation Direction to ‘Managed’ Now fly your drone manually to a point of your interest (not a POI) and aim (frame) the camera.

Thanks to both of you! I’ll give both those methods a try. I’ll be using the function button method to setup a recurring photo flight or two, but thought it might be a bit awkward to do it why also trying to get a video. Sounds like it’ll just take some tweaking in mission hub to make it look like a single smooth video, but probably doable.

Thanks again!
