I'm a new pilot, and one of the things that I'd like to use my Phantom 4 for is to get what are known as 'crane shots'. These are the wide establishing shots that pan down as they zoom in, ending with a medium close-up of the talent. From there, the editor cuts to another MCU shot of the talent, taken with a conventional camera, and the scene proceeds. It's how they did the opening scene of 'The Sound of Music', with Julie Andrews in the alpine meadow. Of course, for that, they used a helicopter.
To get the shot, I'd have to fly the drone in a straight-line arc that looks pretty much like this:
Manually flying that arc would be very difficult. Here's my question: Can the arc be automated, either in DJI GO or in AutoFlight Autopilot? I'm not having any luck Googling the question, and I suspect it's because I'm so new I don't know the correct search terms yet. So, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
