Gimbal pitch

Glynrdav

I  created a list of commands: camera stop, camera mode = video, camera start and these seems to work OK. in the list I added a gimbal command to set the pitch to -30*.

I added the list to the set achieved component in the approach. When I run the preview, the gimbal pitch changes to -30* when approach is achieved, but immediately pitches up to -12*.

There is no POI in the mission

I cannot find anywhere the gimbal defaults to -12* and I don't understand why the gimbal command to pitch to -30* is obeyed and then ignored for the rest of the mission

Any idea please

    Destination components automatically point the drone toward the destination, and set the gimbal at -12 degrees until achieved. If you want the gimbal pitch to change to -30 after the Destination, just move the command from the achieved section to after the destination component completely. We will be putting out a tutorial video explaining command sequencing.

    I have the same problem.  I created a destination (approach).  After that is a separate command to set the Gimbal and start capture, but Gimbal still returns to 0 (not -12) before the path can execute.  The path command follows the set gimbal command which comes after the destination and before the path.  I want the gimbal to point downward as it snakes along the path.  I've removed everything from the achieved section, but if i try to add something there the gimbal pitch is greyed out or won't accept a value.  Can you direct me to the video that shows how to achieve this please.

    Can you post a link to your mission plan?

    You need to place a marker at the start of your path that has the gimbal pointed straight down.

    I just checked, I did put a marker with gimbal set to -75

    It’s not at the start of the path.
