Camera angle too small?

[MissJ]

Just tried hyperlapse for the first time using 2 waypoints. It says camera angle too small. What does that mean, and what is the easiest way to exit quick shots?

Easiest way out of quick shots is by pressing the RTH button once. It acts like a "pause" button.


I haven't tried this but I've heard it works.



As for the other part, it means there won't be enough of a change to look "good" but "good" is subjective so that's really your call in the end.

So, you can still set the waypoint even if the controller says the camera angle is too small or two large? I did not know that.

Usually the pause button or a flip of the mode switch will cancel the operation.

I've had that problem as well. What the hell is my drone doing telling me the angle I choose is not ideal?

Must admit I've not tried telling it to take a hike and set it anyway. Next time I'll show it who's running the show around here!

Be careful. It may decide to take a hike, and disappear over the horizon. ?

Tried this a couple of days ago. Would not accept a second waypoint. We were camping and I sent the drone up to take a hyperlapse of us putting the tent up. The first attempt at selecting a waypoint and it said 'too low'. Uh? So I took it up a few meteres and tried again. First point accepted. But no way was it accepting another. I flew it around for a few minutes and tried different angles between the drone and the tent and different angles on the gimbal but no go.

Anyone know a solution to this? Or what parameters it's using to deny the selection so I can allow for them?

I don't know the exact parameters, but 'angle' doesn't need to be taken literally. It should rather say 'change' since you can just move the drone without any change of angle or gimbal direction and after covering some distance or height, it'll say 'good'. (and later 'too much').
It may not help you much with the tent scene, though.

Mavic 2 waypoint hyperlapse - waypoint rejected becasue of camera orientation being too small / big

There has been a number of threads in this forum and the others asking the question and it seems that no one has been able to offer an answer yet. After chatting with the DJI technical support people on line and performing some test today, I managed to come up with an explanation that seems...
