Hi,

I have a air 2s, and i want to scan a flood light pole. I need a spiral/ circular/ orbit mission for my task.

But when I use litchi hub, and i click orbit or spiral it says it’s not available for DJI drones.

Is there a way to create a mission in litchi so it does this.

Basically i need to define a radius, and it needs to change the elevation and orbit around the object.

You could use the “Spiral Mission Creator for Litchi” from @wesbarris

> **[Spiral Mission Creator for Litchi](https://www.litchiutilities.com/spiral.php)**
>
> Create a spiral waypoint mission using Google Earth Pro to define the size and location of the spiral with inputs for the height and diameter of the spiral.

Don’t forget to click on the green “instructions” bar on the top of the page.

Hi,

Thank you, i saw this but it didn’t work out for me.

The spiral seemed to steep.

How i did it, i generated one spiral using this script ( same height). I exported csv, and manually added circles (spirals) with different height.

When i play it in litchi, it looks perfect, exactly what i needed.

This toolbox that you recommended is really useful

With “Spiral Mission Creator” you have total control over the starting and ending height and how steep the flight is.
