Hi all

I have a use case where I need to get still photo images from the drone into a custom piece of software.
This could be something like either:

* a REST endpoint somewhere e.g. `http://ipaddress:8080/takePhoto` that triggers the drone to take a photo and then returns the result
* a REST endpoint e.g. `http://ipaddress:8080/getLastPhoto` that just returns the last photograph that was taken (e.g. use the manual trigger).
* automatically copy any photo taken into a folder on the PC during flight, and have teh app just watch that folder

I'm working with:

* Mavic 2 Pro
* DJI Smart Controller (Ideally I'd like to use the in-built flight control app for all other functionality)

It seems in theory I can develop something like this using the DJI Windows SDK (discontinued) which can connect to the DJI Smart Controller. It would be great to know if there are any easier ways to go about this.

Note : When this is done with a DSLR it's often referred to as 'tethered capture', which is a bit of a weird word to use here since it'd imply having a string attached to the drone,
Something equivalent to this type of REST remote capture functionality is built into many recent DSLRs, gopros, etc.

Are there any existing workflows?
