[size=14.6667px]We have been conducting a private beta testing of Mission Planner in the past 3 weeks. We are about to start a small scale (round one) public beta testing, targeting 50 beta testers on iPad. If you are interested to join, please sign up at http://fpvbooster.com/beta/. We expect beta testers willing to provide feedback on problems/bugs and suggestions to improve the app.

[size=14.6667px]We would like to share with you 2 videos of “Fly Multi-Target Mission” and “Setup Multi-Target Mission” to get an idea how it works.

[size=14.6667px]Mission Planner is an advanced ground station to program autonomous waypoint flight based on Google Map for creating superior footage. You can set maximum 99 waypoints in conjunction with multiple shooting targets in a single continuous mission. With aid of progressive Auto-Tilt gimbal control, it always keeps your targets right at the center of your footage with smooth camera tilting from one target to another even with some very difficult footage.

[size=14.6667px]Mission Planner is powerful and easy to use. It guides you through mission setup step-by-step. You can plan your mission anywhere you like without requiring connection to RC or aircraft, then save the mission file on your iOS devices for future use like a document file.

I just tested Mission Planner for the first time (Phantom 3 Pro & iPad Air 1st gen, iOS 9.2.0). I'm planning to use the app for 360-photography.
I have some notes after the first test:
- I am going to shoot 360-views from proposed high-rise building. I want to take panoramas from several heights (to simulate different floor views), but I want to keep the map position in the same place. The problem is that Mission Planner says there must be at least 2.0 m distance between way-points.
- I didn't find setting for manual exposure. But I noticed when I lock the exposure setting first in DJI GO app, the Mission Planner keeps those same settings.
- It takes a quite long time the app to shoot a panorama. Full 26 photos 360x180 panorama took over 2 minutes. It looks like the app wants to set very precise camera angles and therefore the panning is very slow between photo takings. Most panorama software can easily handle poorly placed camera angles as long as the image overlap is adequate. So I think the Mission Planner could take photos faster....
- The app crashed few times. One time was in app lounch and one time in mission start.
I hope you pay attention my notes in future updates.
Sorry for not chiming in sooner. If you need multi-altitude panorama, I think you may set a single Pano-Waypoint mission. Once you finish the first panorama, push/pull throttle stick to fly required height at the same spot and start a standard panorama again and onward for all required altitude.
A new FPV Camera v2.1 was released a week ago, which may improve the panorama reliability issue.
I got both errors:
Radius too large and altitude to high.
Cured radius by loading DJIGo and Mission, deleting both and loading mission. It's actually in the instructions!
Altitude too high not so much...What does this error signal mean?
