I am trying to set up a simple 3 waypoint mission with one POI. It's a simple straight line backwards, however, when I set it all up, the drone starts at the first way point and turns to the right but the point of interest is straight ahead. The drone should just move backwards while filiming ,keeping the POI in the center of the screen. Why is the drone turning? I check my settings, way points are linked to POI. Heading is set to POI.
 
Did you fly the drone while creating the waypoint or from the map? I would check the heading setting to make sure it is set to point at the POI
 
This is an example of what happens when I set the POI. The drone turns the opposite direction, flies away and then turns back around again to face the POI. But it shouldn't, all the way points and the POI should be pointed toward me. Below is a link to the video.

Have a play with LitchiHub Litchi Hub You plan all your missions on your PC and with a bit of stuffing around you get them on your RC. It's cool ;)
