Flying at a 45º angle inclination, is it possible?

[lmrsa]

Let's see if I can explain myself in English... Let's say I want to film something at a constant speed but at an angle of 45 º, like flying to one direction while the mavic is pointing at a 45º angle towards that direction (please check the incredibly basic scheme attached... .

Is it possible with sticks control (I assume it would be something like half stick forward and half stick left...)?Would it work?

Of course.

Doable!

I think one of the intelligent flight modes does this too - course lock? A similar problem is trying to fly past an object in a straight line while keeping the camera pointing at it.

Course lock

Yep, either course lock, or hold the right stick up and to the left.

I do it in RTH . I go the path I want then do it but now I do that at distance .And that way I know if I can go out there is nothing for me to hit blindly coming back .

Both course lock and home lock will allow this, in either mode forward and aft stick will fly a fixed line regardless of which way the “head” is pointed so you can fly the course with the left stick and aim the camera with the right.
