There are times I like to just put the Mavic up @ 400 feet and make a 360 degree video and come back down.   Is there an automated way to do the 360 degree rotation?  I can hold the stick to slowly rotate but sometimes that's not a consistant rotation speed if I accidentally move the stick too much while recording the 360.I'd like to be able to select the speed of the rotation similar to POI mode where I can select the MPH to fly around the POI.

Any ideas?

You could mess with the stick sensitivity, but I think that could get you in trouble (or fail to get you out of trouble).

Wonder if you can do this in POI mode by not setting an offset distance?

Can Litchi do the same thing with pics instead of video?  Take a panorama automatically?

Yes its what I use it for most as I don't bother with a lot of its other capabilities I just fly to the location I want and tell it to take a 360

You need a minimum radius of 5m, but if you're high I think it would not make a difference and it would look like the aircraft is stationary.
