Inconsistent speed on straight paths

On a mapped drone course, the drone (DJI Matrice 600 Pro) is flying with an inconsistent speed on straight lines. Does anyone know why this is?

    JIMENA GARCIAPRIETO. Other than what has been discussed about that being an unsupported drone, the photo captures should still be able to be switched off by selecting capture mode and changing to “None” in the mapping component. The rotation rate needs to be set in the drones firmware under the settings in the DJI app. I don’t have that drone but both my MM and MA2 are set to a low rotation rate so I get slow and smooth rotations when rotating the drone heading from following the path to 90°. I believe that drone uses the DJI GO app and unless there is something different with how the settings work you should be able to change it. Hope that helps. Enjoy.

    Unfortunately the M600 is not officially supported and we don’t test it.

    That makes sense. We think the drone is stopping and starting on flights because it wants to take pictures and because we cannot change the min capture interval to 0. However, on our mission estimate, both photos and videos are set to 0 so it should not be trying to capture any footage. Is there a way to turn photo capture off entirely?

    Also, I set the rotation rate to 1 degree per second on my map plan but when the drone rotates in 90 degree intervals between lines it is much faster. How can I fix this?

    Sounds from what Jim said above you are trying to fly an unsupported drone with Dronelink, so you are going to get problems
