Create an orbit component with cardinal shots
I have seen the Cardinal Photos function in the On The Fly section of the DroneLink native app, which is great, but I was wondering if it's possible to add a Cardinal Photos function/component to a flight plan created on a laptop/PC? The reason I ask is because I need to fly missions in which I capture two 360° orbit videos at two different altitudes and two different radius' from the center point or POI (see attached image) and then I also need to capture 8 cardinal photos along the same two orbit paths. The Cardinal Photos function with On The Fly is great but I need to capture the cardinal photos along the same orbit paths as the videos (see red dots on image). Since the On The Fly function has to be hand flown I cannot be guaranteed to achieve the same POI/center point and orbit radius' as achieved in my pre-planned flight plan (image attached) Is it possible to add a Cardinal Shots function to a flight plan created on the web that captures images along the path of the orbit (ie red dots on attached image)? Thanks.

This could be done with a function by hard-coding the center point. Otherwise you can generate a cardinal photos mission plan and then copy it out of your recent missions list into one of your other missions plans that has the rest of the stuff you want to do.
I did a search in the support portal < component "Cardinal Photos" >, but got 2 items returned, this being one. Is there an article on the On-The- Fly "Cardinal Photos" component? I'd like to learn more.
Daniel Snyder, are you looking for something like this

Yeah, I don’t see an actual help article for On the Fly cardinal photos but just like with all of them the DL app walks you through process. This one should be simple since all your doing is flying to each location and setting up the framing and camera settings to trigger. As always once you start the mission you can then go into the Web app and make any adjustments.
