Pause at Marker

Daniel de Haan

Hi, I'm relatively new to Dronelink so appologies in advance.

Is there any way to pause the drone (stop its speed) along a path?

I know the "wait" component is not intended for this, but pausing a flight is something that should be a core component of any drone flight manager (like it is in Litchi and Autopilot).

I need this to take pictures at a specific location along a flight path or to stop and take video footage from one location before moving on to the next spot.

I can probably terminate my flight path do stuff and then start a new one, but thats a lot of added complexity and in my opinion not very clean.

Thanks!

    Why is creating multiple Path components not clean? The other option is to just use Destinations.

    Thanks Jim,

    Ok so I have a commercial mission to fly to 9 destinations around a construction site and take 13 pictures total of 3 POI.  At 2 of the destination pictures are to be taken of all 3 POI all other pictures of only 1 POI, the drone is to come to a full stop at each destination since location precision and picture quality are key.  The client wants to create a time-lapse movie of each destinations pictures over a period of 4 years.

    How would I best go about creating such a plan in DL?

    p.s. by clean I meant efficient.

    You can use the On the Fly photos function to see one example of how to do it. Either run it in the native app in the real world, or do a test in the browser with this button:

     

    By the way, your current plan (Premium) does not allow for commercial missions. You need to upgrade to one of the business plans.

    Thanks Jim this is really helpful and shows off the power of this amazing tool!

    Good to know about the business plan requirement (I frankly was not aware there were 2 versions of the software license model).  Its probably going to be a deal breaker since this is a one off and not my daily bread & butter.

    I guess I'll have to revert to other existing offerings for the commercial bit and use my Premium plan for personal stuff going forward.

    Thanks anyways.
