Here is what it looks like in google earth. Your final video should be close. Stabilized it in Da Vinci Resolve will also improve it.
Good luck

fab thanks a million for this. I'll import and try over the weekend and let you know. Really appreciate the effort you've made. thanks RoHere is what it looks like in google earth. Your final video should be close. Stabilized it in Da Vinci Resolve will also improve it.

Not a problem. Just sitting here waiting for the next snow storm to hit tonight LOLfab thanks a million for this. I'll import and try over the weekend and let you know. Really appreciate the effort you've made. thanks Ro
As the OP said in the first post, using the Litchi Orbit function results in a jerky video. Using waypoints helps solve that issue.You should use orbit mode in litchi app instead of using waypoints
If you can that mission in the Mission Hub public would be great as others could use it for their own uses.!OK it now has 90 waypoints all focused on the POI which is the house. All waypoints are 98 feet. You can change the radius of the orbit in Litchi hub to what ever you want. Hope this helps.
Same thing change the txt back to CVS

Well lets wait and see if it actually helped out the OP in his quest. LOLIf you can that mission in the Mission Hub public would be great as others could use it for their own uses.!
This might be true but using the Orbit function for the this he cannot save it to fly over and over again in the same spot which is what he wants to do to document the difference in the construction on the property.Strange, but for me using Waypoints is more jerky than Orbit function in litchi
You can actually save orbits!This might be true but using the Orbit function for the this he cannot save it to fly over and over again in the same spot which is what he wants to do to document the difference in the construction on the property.
That's actually a great alternative to Litchi Orbit. In the video it looks that the orbit is pretty smooth, and it also can be saved as waypoints.Using my Air 2S I wanted to see if I could produce a acceptable orbit in Litchi after reading your post. So what I did was use a program called Mission Planner. It allows the user to create a perfect circle of waypoints. Litchi only accepts up to 100 so I just used a 80 waypoint circle.
If I may make a couple of observations...Now once opened up in litchi I added a point of interest where I figured the construction was taking place. I did have to go through each waypoint a tell it to point to the point of interest I placed. Might seem like a lot of work but it only took about 5 minutes. Here is what it looks like in Litchi Hub with the POI.

Cool program, never new that was around.3) A handy utility to create missions like this is Spiral Mission Maker for Litchi. It provides all the controls you need for spiral missions.
Sorry but I do have to disagree with you here. I have found any DJI drone that uses virtual sticks needs as many waypoints in a tight circle to make it a smooth flight. The large number of waypoints might seem like over kill but it provided a very smooth flight IMO.2) Using this many waypoints to generate a circular missions is overkill. Instead, use far fewer waypoints with curved turns. Litchi uses a spline to create the curve at a waypoint. For a perfect circle, the curve size should be set to 1/2 the distance between the waypoints.
Did you view the video in post #16?Strange, but for me using Waypoints is more jerky than Orbit function in litchi
All of my drones have on-board waypoints. I cannot comment on the virtual sticks implementation. Fewer waypoint with the curve size set to half the distance between waypoints does result in a perfect circle though.Sorry but I do have to disagree with you here.

Was checking out the Mission Utilities for Litchi that you linked to. Seems a lot more work to get to the same place. Mission planner in my opinion is a much faster way of getting the desired effect at least for a circle waypoint mission.
Now the droneception one I will have to spend more time on but looks very interesting.
Yes very comfortable with Google Earth and Virtual Litchi mission. Not my first rodeo as they say LOLAll of my drones have on-board waypoints. I cannot comment on the virtual sticks implementation.

If you are comfortable using Google Earth Pro and Virtual Litchi mission the Spiral Mission Maker for Litchi is quite easy to use. This utility has been available for a couple years now and has many users. If you are not familiar with Google Earth Pro it might first appear to be complicated (more work, as you say). However, a couple tries will show that the process is quite simple.
Instead of loading mission parameters (but not the gimbal pitch nor waypoint-defined speeds) to the drone's on-board memory, drones without on-board waypoint capability rely on the mobile device running Litchi to constantly transmit the flight telemetry to the drone as the mission is being flown.Yes very comfortable with Google Earth and Virtual Litchi mission.

Since you do not use any drones that rely on virtual sticks for its commands you will not understand the difference. Do appreciate your comments and the link to the web page. Learning new stuff is always welcomed but for now I find my way much easier.
Yes I am aware of this. The problem with Maven it is only iOS and I will never own another iOS device in my life.Instead of loading mission parameters (but not the gimbal pitch nor waypoint-defined speeds) to the drone's on-board memory, drones without on-board waypoint capability rely on the mobile device running Litchi to constantly transmit the flight telemetry to the drone as the mission is being flown.
There are different implementations of virtual sticks with some (Maven) reportedly resulting in smoother flights. The smoothness may also be affected by the processing capabilities of the mobile device.
Look here gimbal issue with my Air 2 !!! Also Litchi with waypoints and poi that crane !!! Work beautiful until POI arrived and again beautiful after POI.Hi Guys,
I'm using the Air2S and have started experimenting with Litchi (had typically used DJI Go App)
I know the Litchi support for Air2S has only in recent months been released (and it possible still is in beta) ?
When I started the Litchi app I got a popup warning was along the lines of there is a known gimbal issue which will be addressed - so this may well be my issue
AfterI do my POI/orbit, when I look at the recorded video (from the SD card, it's an sd extreme one) the POI isn't too smooth (i.e. like it would be super smooth doing the same in DJI Go) and is a little sideways jerky - is this the same "gimbal" issue that's referenced when I start the app ?
Also does anyone know when we might expect the issue to be fixed?
Any thoughts/guidance would be great!
