I want to fly to the same point in the sky every day and take a picture of a project from the exact same location. When the project is finished, I will take the still photos and show a progress animation, using all the photos. The result will be a little like a timelapse of a building project done from a camera on a tripod.
I am using DJI GO4, not Licthi.
Here's the problem.
I flew to the point where I want to take the picture. I then adjusted the drone's orientation and gimbal to get the shot I wanted, and then pressed C1 to record the waypoint. I landed the drone, and edited the waypoint to tell DJI GO to take a still photo at the waypoint.
I then tried to run the waypoint mission, but when I pressed GO it said I did not have enough waypoints to run the mission.
Question #1: is it possible to have a mission consisting of only a single waypoint?
Second, I went ahead and added a second waypoint, just so I could continue with my testing, and then flew the mission several times. What I found is that the pictures taken were not even close to being the same field of view. The drone was rotated a little differently each time.
Question #2: are there any procedures I can follow to maximize the repeatability of the waypoint pictures so they look like they were taken from the same position, as if the camera was on a tripod in the sky?
Finally, I decided to add one more waypoint before the first waypoint, so I could have the drone almost all lined up before going to place where it will take the picture, and then, very slowly creep towards the photo point. I figured this would reduce any overshoot and therefore give me more consistent results. However, the waypoint I added was labeled #3. I wanted to make it waypoint #1 and simply re-number the two existing waypoints without touching them.
Question #3: can DJI GO change the order in which waypoints are flown, without making any changes to any of the waypoints?
