Question About Interval Timing of Stills
I haven't purchased DroneLink yet, so I'm in a place where "I don't know what I don't know." I have a DJI Air 2S. I would like to create a mission where I use the drone to create a timelapse, oriented to the horizon (where I'll be doing clouds, etc) with the drone in a truck motion,left-to-right, right-to-left, whatever.
The trick is that I want an interval of one second for the stills. I'll be shooting still images and putting them together myself in post.
So the question is this: will DroneLink allow me to configure an interval for stills of less than two seconds (like the stock DJI app has)?

Whatever software you use,I don't think you'll configure for less than 2 seconds
Ok, thanks. I was wondering if maybe it was a limitation of the drone itself. If it's two seconds, it's two seconds. I'll make it work. I usually do one second on my time-lapses using my Nikons, but only because, "that's what I've always done." I can get used to the "rhythm" of two seconds too.
Yes, DL will allow you to set that.
Whether it will work will depend on your drone and your settings. A drone with a fast R/W speed, using a fast micro SD card (or maybe internal memory if available?) and set to JPEG only might work. A slow SD card set to RAW and JPEG...not going to work.
I'd suggest giving it a try - you don't have to be flying to see if it will work. Just create a mission that starts the camera with the settings you need and run it while on the ground.
Thanks Barry,
That's what I wanted to know before I bought the software. I'd say it's worth a try. Of course, when I bought the drone (DJI Air 2S), using it for timelapse wasn't on the radar, so if it doesn't work the way I want, I still have the other 300 reasons I bought it for.
