Thanks, you must be right, that makes sense. I forgot the drone is spinning!

I don't understand why Litchi allows more than one nadir image. If the nadir is straight down, wouldn't every nadir image be the same?

I believe that in Auto heading mode it also rotates smoothly to the heading direction set for the next Waypoint. I don't think I can use POIs to govern heading because I'm looking straight down (mapping, camera -90), so I have to define an extra Waypoint after I've finished the map path, once...

Thank you so much. Your software is amazing, like Litchi too. I am setting up a mapping mission in a very sensitive area and it helps that I can show the simulation video to all those concerned. VLM doesn't at the moment obey the mission setting to RTH at last waypoint but just waits there. Is...

This ran once on my PC (great) but now, with new mission, it doesn't start automatically when new csv downloaded. If I start VLM manually, reset initial conditions, then use VLM to open the csv it says 'Sent to Google Earth'. I can see the path in GE but nothing happens. Am I missing something?

Very interesting conversation for me, another newbie. I need to fly a grid pattern at monthly intervals to monitor the growth of saplings. Which app did you use eventually? I have the Mavic Air and use IOS.

Any advice on getting Mavic in and out of Oman? Which bits (battery, quad) should be in checked bags/cabin bag at check-in? Which bits should I carry on my person when exiting Muscat airport? I've read the earlier threads from 2017. I know they have a licence procedure now but I doubt if I'll...

I'd really like to buy a MA but problem is I'm the world's worst pilot. Ideally I'd like to program it with coordinates, altitude (say 100 feet), bearing, declination, and send it up to take a picture (of an archaeological site) and come down. Is this a realistic goal? I have bought a few cheap...
