Cinesmooth during a mission.

Marc Dufour

I set up a mission that just went to three different way points and then stopped 4 manual landing, and I found everything to be very jagged and rough when making turns.

For me to use cinemooth do I have to enable this in the DJI fly app first or is it something I can do in Dronelink?

 

Edit: I'm using a Mavic Mini.

    I had exactly the same thought, how to enable mode-C. One way to smoothen it is to put markers with POI and point the drone to the POI. Then in-between markers, set the interpolation to Curve to smooth the transition from one view to the next.

    @Jim McAndrew - There is a rising demand for this C mode :-)

    Thank you I'll give that a try

    Can you be specific about what settings would need to be applied to mimic it (other than just slowing down your speeds, which you can already do)?

    Unfortunately not being a developer or any sort of planner in that way I don't know really what's gone into the whole city smooth feature. If it really is just the drone speed then I can do some investigation around that myself. I wasn't sure if there was additional gimbal activity that needed also adjusting.

    Jim - What I need, and what some others also wish to see,  is to make the changes in the direction of the moves (drone, camera) slower so the jerkiness would not exist. The speed of the drone is easy to slow down, but I didn't find and commands which I could select (for my List) to change the response time of the gimbal, the same stuff you can see in the DJI FLY 'Advanced Gimbal Settings', meaning things like Pitch Speed and Pitch Smoothness adjustability. And the Smoothness how quickly the drone turns it's nose to another direction.

    I think those settings only apply to the gimbal wheel when you are manually moving the gimbal. You can adjust how fast or slow dronelink does similar things by altering your mission plan and using the mission preview to get the desired motions.

    In cinemooth mode the maximum speed of the gimbal movement is much slower than in the other modes.

    Cinematic mode in DJI Fly also slows down the yaw rate, which I think is the major control missing in Dronelink. Yes, you can effectively accomplish that by setting headings at markers and specifying interpolation between, but otherwise it seems to yaw as fast as possible. When it's tracking a POI, if the yaw rate could be slowed down, I think it would be smoother, which I think is more important than dead-center accuracy.

    First of all, thanks for this amazing software I am very very impressed:)

    Regarding Mavic mini fly modes there is 3 modes:

    S mode: Sport 

    P mode: Position

    C mode CineSmooth

    There is a difference in both drone speed and gimbal, there is also a difference in acc. and brake.

    So I agree, it would be nice to have the opportunity to choose the modes in dronelink.

    Unless these modes have no effect in droneling or are only in the dji app.

    An example:

    The max drone speed in the different modes are:

    13 m/s (S Mode)
    8 m/s (P Mode)
    4 m/s (C Mode)

    So if the modes dont have any effect in dronelink, so eg. the top speed can be achieved anyway in droneling then it dosen matter.

    Anyway again fantastic software:)

    You can change motion options at the plan settings level:
