Photo intervals not following the plan
On this plan: https://app.dronelink.com/ole-frederiksen/missions-WCWkmvex4uaB6NSX5GgE/plan/nBlUlQBsf4Cndw2DcX94/oV5cz9sAgsVpOSQLSJtd
I have two orbits which have been set to take photos each 2 seconds. But when flying the actual mission, it takes a photo each 10 seconds only. I can even see on the screenshot from the actual flying mission that the interval is set to 10 secs.
I fly the DJI Mini 3 Pro with Aircraft firmware 01.00.0600 and the DJI RC Pro with RC Firmware 03.02.0200. The Dronelink DJI Version 4.6.0 (259) | Kernel 4.6.0

When you use the automatic photo capture setting, DL just switches the camera to interval photo mode but doesn’t change the previously set interval, so if it was 10 seconds previously, then it remains 10s. The map before the Orbits is set to a 2s min capture interval, but maps used distance based triggering (not interval photos) by default, so it doesn’t actually change then interval before the Orbits (unless you select time based on the map). If you really want to be sure it gets set without relying on the map to do it (or if you prefer to leave the map in distance based which is recommended), then you need to add some commands before the Orbits to set the correct interval.
Thank you very much, Patrick!
It took me a while figuring out, how to add a list of commands to the Orbit start - but now it works.
Having used Litchi on my old drone, this is almost as going from Word to Word Perfect (for those who remember that :-D ): Apparently you have to specify each property you want for some specific tasks. This isn't necessarily bad - you just have to learn the app and all its details before being able to use its full potential.
I'm sure I can also add the list to my repository, so in the future I just have to add the "2 second interval photos" to my orbit start to make it easier for myself :-)
Ole Frederiksen, you don't necessarily need to save the list to a repository, you can copy it to the clipboard and use it in future missions from there.
