New to Neo, longtime flyer. I want to take video by usine the circle mode on the Neo, but there are trees surrounding my property, many are up to 20 metres height. I'd like to use the Circle mode for this video if possible. I will launch the Neo from the deck shown at right in the video linked below, at 13 seconds in.

To prevent the Neo flying into the trees, can I manually fly from the deck to above-tree height (say 25 metres) then engage the circle option at maximum 50 metres radius. Will the drone return to the start point beside me on the deck, or will it simply start the circle mode using the raised point as its' start and end position?

Here is a recent video of my home showing the deck where I want to start and end the circle flight, and the trees I need to fly outside and above.

Many thanks for any advice as how to best set up this flight so that the drone starts on the deck.
