Mission half accomplished (newbie)

Thomas C

First, I love the idea of DroneLink and I see myself using it often.  It's like having a clipboard full of things to copy/paste.

I made a mission plan to complete a Map run making photos, then a Path run making video.

The Map worked as planned and ended with a Camera Stop.  For the Approach to the Path, I did a Camera Reset.  Then did a Camera Start.  The drone completed the approach and then sent me a "Mission Failed" notice as follows: 

Mission Failed: Camera Mode | Video | Camera is busy or the command is not supported in the camera's current state(code:-3002)

I assumed this was because my frozen fingers hit the camera button on the way to the Approach. I returned home and restarted the mission.  I saw later there was a 1second video recorded at the Approach location

Same thing exactly except the error message and no video:

Mission Failed: Camera Start Capture | Camera Unavailable

But there is a Start Capture!!  And I even remembered to change to Video.

I would appreciate any input.

    Camera unavailable means there was a hardware error with your drone.

    Hmmmm......  I took a video after the mission failed.   I removed an extra Stop Capture and the Preview worked fine.  It was too windy today to try my new version. 

    Another question... in the Camera Reset should I delete the Video Operations if I'm planning a photo mission, and visa-versa?

    They don't hurt anything, but you can copy the reset component and make it your own!
