Bear with me, I'm new. First little fledgling flight today.
I have a mini 3 (non-pro) and am interested in doing panoramas. I chose the mini 3 because I can set the camera vertical which will get a bigger sky.
I'm mainly just interested in single plane ~180 degree panoramas. In vertical the angle of view isn't very big and to get overlap takes a lot of shots. If I did my math right for 50% overlap I need to take a picture every 8.5 degrees.
I see I can make the compass visible in the corner, but it is pretty small and nothing more than a pointer. I wasn't flying very high and though just looking at the drone and screen I could gauge things pretty well, but when I went to stitch the images there wasn't overlap. It was my first flight too, but..
I know the drone keeps track of the yaw angle. I'm just using the fly app. I don't know if it accepts plugins or not. I have heard there is third party software as well. I was thinking if I could display just the current yaw angle on screen along with the image I could use that.
I'd like to take the pictures sooner rather than later as I may run out of suitable weather pretty quickly. I have seen people talk about manual panos are better and some spoke of doing if vertically as well, but I really haven't found any clear instructions how to do it with any precision other than someone said to turn the grid on. I did see how to do that, but today while flying I couldn't see how to do it, maybe I have to do that before I take off.
So if anyone knows if there is or definitely isn't a way to display yaw angle I'd like to know as well as any other information on how to do this.
Thanks in advance
