Mapping recommended speed
First of all, I want to say thank you and congratulations for creating this amazing application. It is a fresh air blow in the world of drones.
Since Dronelink does not stop before capturing the image while mapping. What speed do you recommend to get the sharpest images?
I have Mavic 2 Pro, let's say at 40 meters high.

Oops, you still didn't get a reply?
I planned a mapping mission for my Mavic Air at the same altitude:

Of course you would get the sharpest images if the drone stops while it captures them – so I tried to find a compromise:
The drone should not move more than the Ground Sample Distance during the exposure time.
After some calculation – unfortunately I can't write down a formula here – I ended up with 5 - 6 km/h when the exposure time is 1/100 second. Since the image resolution of your M2P is higher, maybe you even would have to fly a little bit slower.
But I am not really experienced, so I hope you will get more comments...
Thanks for your kind reply, Soeren.
I will start with 5km/h and 1/120 exposure time and let's see how is going on.
Curious to see what you found!
I am new to DroneLink, so learning as I go.
But I have a M2P and wondered if the Max Speed is where you are setting this or deeper in the hierarchy?
Thanx!
