  The easiest way to do this is by setting the map capture mode to none, then insert a simple video capture list as the arrival component in the map start, and a stop capture command after the map component as I've done in this simple mission, which you are welcome to copy https://app.dronelink.com/martin-reading/public-test/plan/SKsnAD9jVAZwFj80d18y/ZAlnPN11mMoQzBzCsF6j

  Hi Martin,

  I am very new to the dronelink, I just bought dji mini 3 pro with RC Pro..
  Can you please explain

  "then insert a simple video capture list as the arrival component in the map start,

  and a stop capture command after the map component as I've done in this simple mission"
  
  Do you have a video reference that I can watch and learn that?
  
  Thank you

  Hi Hasan. I Understand your new and it will take time to understand much of what DL has to offer and all the functions. There are usually many different ways to set up a plan depending on the pilots knowledge and preferences. I noticed you accessed one of my shared missions with video capture. You can see in that plan a 4K camera component list. If you select that camera list and click on the three dots on the right side card you can add it to a Repo or Create e a new one like, 4K Video. You can change the Repo’s name anytime later as well as any of the camera commands in those component lists. You are not stuck with them the way you set them up initially. I’d suggest selecting create the Component and create several different video and photo component lists. Different values and settings so it will make it much faster to + add the entire list from your Repo rather than adding each individual camera command in every plan. You can also reuse any path, map, orbit motion component doing the same process into any other plan quickly. The link provided should give you the information needed to set up any component list. They are Really handy. I run path missions about 90% of the time and sometimes include Orbits. I place my Video Component list at the very top of the mission before everything else so it triggers the recording at the execution of the plan and runs throughout the entire mission. No stopping of video even when transitioning to another component so it’s one long video. Other pilots here which can help you with ideas and suggestions which should be very helpful. I’m sure there are several others here which can share a component list if it helps. Enjoy.

  Hi Martin,

  I have managed to copy your setting,

  and put in on my flight plan.

  I make a polygon in google earth pro, then make KML file, download the KML file

  and

  import the KML file to your setting,

  and amazingly, it can be used instantly..

  I am really glad to join dronelink community. The community helps alot..

  By the way,

  can you explain the number 1 and 2 in the map?

  why there are 4 little icon on number 2..

  Where can I get the complete icon meaning?

  Again, Thank you very much for your reply.. your explanation helps me alot...
