360 photos

Scott

Some questions regarding 360 photos:

1) I can't find a way to add a 360 panorama to the achievement of a waypoint step.

i.e. Assume I have a KML with some waypoints, import them and I want to take a 360 at each of the waypoints. in other words Fly to location 1, take 360, fly to location 2, take 360. 

Adding the 360 seems to add its own waypoint instead of taking the 360 at a waypoint selected. When I try to add a 360 as an achievement component I get an error "unable to include this type of component here".

2) Looking at the 360 component it appears to have metering changes built-in. Is the component documented somewhere? I assume I can make one with no metering changes as 360s should be shot with fully manual camera settings. I normally set all the camera settings in DJI first. Is it possible to get DL to just use the DJI panorama option if that was the camera option selected in DJIs software before switching to DL? I've noticed this appears to work when flying manually i.e. take off in DJI select pano, swap to DL take a photo and it takes a pano using the DJI settings. Wondering if I can automate that?

3) Is there a limit to the number of commands/waypoints/360s the drones can take in one mission? Does it differ between the Mavic 2 Pro / Phantom 4 Pro / Inspire 2?

    If you mean the achievement of a Destination, you cannot do that as it would mean running motion components (Headings) inside another motion component (the Destination). You can only run one motion component at once. This is why our public 360 photo component performs the destination first, and then does the lists with Heading components after.

    Is the component documented somewhere? I assume I can make one with no metering changes as 360s should be shot with fully manual camera settings.

    See link above, you can copy it and change it to your heart's desire.

    Given I can’t create a plan or place a waypoint with Dronelink because the mapbox resolution is unusable. How can I import a KML with waypoints then take a 360 pano at each of those points. Is there a way to add the 360 function without a destination (I.e. take pano at current position with current camera settings). Ideally being able to just insert it after each waypoint would be perfect.

    Trying to avoid manually entering lat/longs if possible as I have to do that once already on the google maps (trying to streamline the workflow).

    You can make a copy of our 360 photo component and just delete the destination out of it. When you insert the component into your imported mission plan, it will be at the end, but you can use the arrows to move it up and down in the order. Not perfect but workable.

    Ok thanks I’ll try that out.
