Orbit Component

The orbit component at its simplest flies a circle around a point of interest; although it is possible to configure the orbit component to fly a changing radius spiral from a one altitude to another.

Step 1 - Add a Orbit from the Create Menu, or New Component Menu

Step 2 - Select the Center Point

You can adjust this later by dragging the component or inputing a specific GPS coordinates.

Step 3 - Configure Basic Settings

Adjust altitude, radius, flight direction, speed, and data to be captured.

Step 4 - Configure Advanced Settings

Expand the advanced settings to access more options.

Starting and Final Altitude

Select Add Final Altitude

Set Starting and Final Altitudes

Starting and Final Radius

Select Add Final Radius

Set Starting and Final Radius

Multiple Rotations

Gimbal Pitch

Set a different gimbal pitch by selecting Add Gimbal Orientation

For multiple payloads, you can add a second gimbal orientation with a different pitch.

Exact Center Coordinates

Input the exact center coordinates to place the orbit in a specific location. Consider using Adaptive Flight Offsets in the field for better mission alignment.
