I often see people asking this question: “Can I fly to a waypoint and then capture a 360-degree panorama?”
Litchi may provide this feature at some point in the future but it is not available today. There is a “Panorama Preset” as a camera action, however, this preset captures only one row of photos. So, depending on what you require, this may or may not work for you.
To make the capturing of a 360-degree panorama at a waypoint available now, I have created another web application that can be used to create a Litchi mission to capture 22 photos at each defined waypoint that can be stitched into 360-degree panoramas.
My solution does include some idiosyncrasies due to constraints of Litchi waypoint missions. These constraints include:
Full instructions and details can be found within this web application.
I have tested these panorama missions with success on:

My solution does include some idiosyncrasies due to constraints of Litchi waypoint missions. These constraints include:
- The “Tilt Camera” waypoint action does not allow positive gimbal pitch angles.
- No two adjacent waypoints can share the same coordinates.
- A maximum of 15 camera actions can be configured per waypoint.

I have tested these panorama missions with success on:
- A DJI Go drone
- A DJI Go4 drone
- A DJI Fly drone
