Hi,

I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to set an orientation within a mission.
Say I choose a circle from the templates, how is it possible to have the phantom facing the center of the circle during the mission?

Tnx in advance

Can't be done even with the full blown ground station.
Many want this POI feature, but it's presently only available as a control feature on the more costly FCs...

Well an improvement would be to be able to also set the orientation, the same way you're able to set speed and altitude, per WP.

Not related, but kind of. You can achieve this in IOC mode. Set Home Lock or Course Lock and you have control over orientation of the craft as it flies a circular path(home lock and control stick to a side) or in a straight line (course lock and control stick forward or back). It's not waypoint flying, but it is a valid workaround for now.

Thats a great work around. But I want the waypoint system to be able to yaw during flight. That would be awesome. Much more smooth flying for panning shots.  DJI TAKE NOTE

And the very fact that it can do it in IOC tells me that it is certainly possible to accomplish in Waypoints. Sounds to me like a simple software modification. DJI, we are asking nicely....

I guess for now all we can do is pause in the middle of the mission if we want to move the yaw.
Yes for sure it would be possible.

Hi DJI,

Has any progress been made creating/adding this capability?   Allowing yaw during the mission would be awesome.  I can tilt the camera just fine but my flight pas is weird as all hell just to point at my POI.   It certainly can't smothly circle and film.

my gimbal does not rotate 360 degrees.
The rotation in the Groundstation was very good.
Anytime.
Will be soon?

Hi Autumn,

Yes, I would love to be able to yaw the quad as it goes on a mission with the groundstation.  Flying FPV, while the quad is moving through the waypoints, I would point the camera by using yaw to pan left and right, and gimbal tilt for up and down.  PLEASE add this capability!  Is there any progress since January?
