Timelapse Construction

Robby Borden
Greetings! Im wanting to track the progression of my house that is currently being built by setting up several different shots with exact locations. I was able to set waypoints manually and mark my spots, but it never takes the same shots. Am I missing something? Or is there a better way to set this up?

    but it never takes the same shots

    Can you provide more detail about this?

    I used waypoints and manually set up my shots. When I compare the downloaded images, none of the shots are even close.  For example, I mark a spot directly above my house.  When I  ran the same mission, I get a shot of my neighbors back yard.  I'm clearly doing something wrong, but I cant find the right instructions.

    If you go to your mission history, you can open the mission in question, and click on the fx tab at the bottom of the mission details pane on the right. It will show you exactly where you marked the waypoints and what the resulting mission path was if you want to verify it.

    Not sure about the On the Fly since I haven’t used it for that purpose. However, you can create a mission in the Web app to set it up using a Camera Action with full stop photo which is probably what you want. Then add a POI and adjust the distance of each photo component to get your desired shot. Here has a simple one to show how and a DL article link on how to set one up. If you can use your On the Fly mission then just copy it and then edit it to something like this one. I’m guessing when you set it up with On the Fly you didn’t add or adjust the heading, pitch etc. One way may be easier for you so it’s pilots choice.
