Orbit with a point of interest or path with POI
I am attempting to do an Orbit but I would like to have the drone face a specific POI as it goes through the Orbit.
The plan I have set has an Orbit and then I adjust the drone heading in degrees which is a bit difficult to get exact without a few trial attempts. I am trying to get this lighting effect above a specific subject. The attached lights on the drone need to stay pointed at the POI(camera) to get the best effect.
Should I just use a path and waypoints with markers and a POI? You can add Markers and POI on a path but not an Orbit. or at least I haven't found how to get it on an orbit.

You can add a POI to any orbit.
Yes I can add the POI but usually, I use a marker to have the drone face the POI but in an Orbit, I don't see how to add a marker, and the only way to face the drone is in drone heading which requires putting in the degrees.
You don't have to add a marker. Having a POI on the Orbit just means "focus on this POI during the whole orbit".
Hi Ron. Here is a simple Example for your. You can place a marker at any point you want the drone to focus. Using your mouse or touch screen to bring up the list and add a POI marker. Hope this helps.
Enjoy, Mike……

Great thanks... I figured out what I did wrong. I had a POI but also had a Gimbal heading which caused the drone to drift off the POI. Thanks again
👍🏼 Sometimes it’s the simplest things. Enjoy.
