Hi Guys-

Is there a way, using either LItchi or DJI Go, to use Waypoints and then manually fly my Mavic Pro between them, while controlling the yaw and gimbal? I'm envisioning something similar to a dolly shot that the big guys use in Hollywood.

What I'd like to be able to do is fly parallel to my subject, controlling speed and yaw manually. (i.e. Flying alongside a train track and not having to worry about my heading being off by a few degrees in course lock and hitting the train) I would like to be able to set up two (or a series) of Waypoints, then fly along them using my right stick to control speed (and direction, forward or back), while using the left stick to control yaw and altitude.

Basically, I'd like to take heading out of the equation, but have more precise control than simply using Course Lock.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Greg

Look at Autopilot. The flight modes “Zipline” or “Cruise” might me of interest to you. Flight School - Hangar
