Didnt save an on the fly photo mission - help needed.
i had to cut short an on the fly mission today due to rain.
it was a new job site for me so i was building a repeatable photo mission for next time. took 27 photos and logged the locations.
in my haste to get my drone out of the rain i didn't save the mission.
is there any way of recovering it?

Did you look in the mission history tab - the little clock icon at the bottom?
yes. looked there. the video mission i had just flown was there, but not the photo mission.
Has the device you flew it on connected to the network while Dronelink is running since you ran the mission?
it was on my phone jim so had connectivity the whole time, plus before and after.
Can you look at the history tab on the phone and see if the mission is there? Did you actually finish the function setup and get to running the mission? If not, there will be no history if you never ran it.
OK - no worries.
You can use this technique to create a flight from the logs.

And then each photo (I assume you still have the photos) will have a GPS location on it which will give you the ability to add photos along the way.
thanks barry.
ive done that in a roundabout way before when adding new photo locations to existing missions when re-running them on subsequent visits.
im not so bothered about the actual route the drone takes.
one bit of info i have learned in the past couple of months that i wished id have known earlier was that the gimbal angle and drone heading are stored in the metadata. took me ages trying to "eye in" photo locations previously.
Jim - no i didnt finish the setup unfortunately, i had logged the photo locations but took a 5 bracket manually at each location so i didnt have to. i was thinking about maybe taking a couple more when the rain hit and i had to bring it home.
If you don't start the mission, it won't be in the history.
