I thought I would share something I put together to help me plan my flights: I kept wondering what altitude (AGL) to set my waypoints in order to get the shots I wanted, so I went out and based on my surrounding conditions (relatively flat topography, gimbal at -90 degrees) I set forth on taking a photograph with the Mavic 2 at: 75', 100', 125', 150', 200', 250', 300', and 350' ft.
Below is a single area broken down by each altitude level. I then decided to plot both the area (acres) and length of photograph. Yes, it's probably a bit overthinking. But I'm a data person, I need to view things either excel sheets or specification drawings.
