waypoints
Good morning, in the waypoint mission, I would like to make the drone camera in each waypoint point towards the next waypoint and with a downward inclination of -12°. What settings should I enter? Thanks

Can you share the mission, so we can see exalted what we are dealing with, the - 12 is no problem, just set that in the settings at the first waypoint, the pointing at the next waypoint will depend where waypoints lay in relation to each other
Unless I’m misunderstanding the question, the drone will always be flying following the path pointing towards the next waypoint therefore the camera is as well. As Martin stated all you need to do is set the gimbal orientation at first waypoint to -12° pitch and it will stay at that pitch for the entire mission. It does not need to be set again at every waypoint. Any setting at the start of any mission will remain unless you change it somewhere else in the plan. The simplest way to check the setup of any plan is to run the mission preview. It will show the heading, speed, gimbal pitch, altitude etc. This way you will know how it will run before go out to fly the mission.
I did forget to mention the waypoints path needs to be set to straight pathing, not bezier curves. Once set you can change the corner radius to get either long sweeping curves or sharp tight turns. If set to straight pathing the default radius is 20° which will give it really sharp turns and make it so the drone is pointing directly at the waypoint. When you run the mission preview it will confirm this.
