Dronelink Command to Set Gimbal Angle
I have a Mavic Mini (1) and Dronelink Premium and am trying to tell dronelink to always point the camera 60 degrees down on a planned route made of curved lines.
If I set it to 60 degrees down before launch, it takes off with the camera 60 degrees down, but then, before commences the planned route, the camera swings up to the horizon. I have to over-ride it to put it back 60 degrees down with the Mavic Remote and then it is fine for the whole route.
What is the Dronelink command to set the camera "60 degrees down" within the mission plan?
Thank you,
Mark Hunnibell

I do not know how to do that.
Is this what you need?

Check at the first marker I added.
Perfect. Adding a marker. I did not see that as option. But I just added one to another route. Also... my first point was at 25 feet AFL and I wanted to keep that, but if I change it to 35 feet and slow the speed to 5MPH at that first point, will it maintain 35 feet at 5MPH for the rest of the route? I am trying to find wildlife nesting in a hayfield before they mow it and the 10MPH speed makes the screen jitter too much.
Hi Mark. DL has a ton of tutorial videos and help pages. It will take time to learn all of what DL can perform but these help pages and the DL tutorial videos should assist you a lot. You can always get additional help here or on the Official Dronelink Facebook group. Good luck and enjoy.

Yes. Once any command is executed it will perform that until changed. Markers on a path are a great way to change or add an additional commands for speed, gimbal pitch, altitude, POI, etc.
Thank you all for your FAST help. This is my first drone and have not used it until this week. What a great community this is to get the answers and show me where more help is needed. I will admit that I don't usually read all the instructions before starting everything and, instead, look up solutions to issues as they arise. Thanks again.
