Hey all :)

I got my Air3s over the weekend (after having a Flip, swapping for a Mini 4 Pro then settling on the Air3s - normally I research a lot !).

Took it for a couple of flights to polish up my skills, but waypoints has got me stumped.

I want to:
- Have a POI for it to focus on
- Create 2-3 waypoints that sweep left to right and rise a bit towards the end

My question is - for POI's (in this case it was a cricket pitch at an oval for my point of reference) - do you have to actually fly over the top of it and point the camera down ? When I hovered it looking at it from an angle with the gimbal tilted slightly, when it went to fly, it flew the course in facing POI for both waypoints, POI was linked to those waypoints, but the camera/orientation was completely the other way and at 0 degrees.

Also :
- Do the waypoints upload to the cloud now ? I saw someone mention a firmware update that did that.
- Can you create a mission on Litchi and import it to the drone ? Is that done via uploading with the microSD in the controller ?
