Orbit center height
I made a Dronelink Orbit and the camera seems to be aiming under the ground so the object I want to study is always in the upper edge of the videoframe. The object is not at the same height as where I start the mission from. How to solve this?

A couple ways to do this. First click on the Orbit center pin and go down to add gimbal orientation. It will indicate at what pitch it is which is always based in the diameter and height. Then change to the desired pitch until you find the amount which will place it in center of frame. You can also use a POI but I believe changing the pitch will be the easiest.

Hi,
Thank you. I realized that I could change the gimbal orientation but I thought this was a very typical situation and thought there should be a way to indicate height for the center. I will probably add a POI and test that when I have time.
Without seeing the plan it’s hard to say why it isn’t in center frame. If the green center pin is directly over the object then it should be focusing on that object regardless of the height of it. If it isn’t then you can move the green center pin so it’s directly above the object. If it’s way out of center frame like you said then there must be a reason in the set up. I’ve flown many Orbits over the years and other then changing the gimbal pitch slightly on some they have always been focusing on the object such as a building. Share the plan and I’m sure someone can help.
Maps may disagree with the real world. In these cases we recommend just using the Orbit mode in the app to do it on the fly.
