  • Page 12 Altitude: is the altitude that the drone will have when it’s reach the waypoint, (altitude relative to take off point) the drone will gain or loose altitude progressively from previous waypoint altitude. If it’s the first waypoint, the drone will first reach the waypoint altitude (is currently lower) then it will start moving towards the waypoint Let’s add more waypoints: (long tap) as you add more waypoint you will see also draw the path of the mission, and the...
  • Page 13 Insert a waypoint: To insert a waypoint between 2 existing one, you have to “drag” the (+) annotation, touch it for 0,5 sec to start to “drag” then drop it where you want to insert a new waypoint! now let’s add more waypoint before dig in more waypoint’s options here you can...

  • Page 16 Gimbal Pitch Angle you can set the gimbal pitch angle, here you can also set “on waypoint” or “progressive” with the same logic explained above for the heading while you edit the gimbal angle, a “target” will appear that show you what will be in the center of the frame, so you can easily adjust it note: keep in mind that the target position is calculate by the altitude and the angle, considering that what you see on map is at the same take off altitude.
  • Page 17 Waypoint Action Here you can set what action (take pics, start recording…) the drone will perform after reached the waypoint (also after complete the heading and gimbal rotations), before proceed to the next waypoint. Waypoint Action require “Stop On Each” as mission flight mode Speed The speed that you set here, is the one that the drone will use from here to the next waypoint.
  • Page 18 Mission Configuration Menu These options will affect the entire mission: Action After Finished: by default it is "RTH", so you do not have to add waypoints to go back. The waypoint Behaviour: “Stop on each” will allow to define waypoint action (such as take pic, start/stop recording) , “Continuous Flight”...

In the POI menu on the right, you can delete, move or adjust the altitude of the selected POI, (the altitude is relative to the take of point) You can also mode the POI by dragging the POI annotation on map (long tap to start to drag) Now add a waypoint, then in the waypoint configuration panel, choose the heading to “POI 1”...
  • Page 20 Now add one more waypoint, adding a waypoint next to one that look to a POI, will automatically set it to the same POI. Lock on POI please note: Heading Rotation: when 2 consecutive waypoint have the same “POI”, the heading rotation will be “Lock on POI”...
  • Page 21 Save Mission Once you have done to plan the mission, hit the save button, and the mission is ready to run! on screen will appear a video preview from the drone (if connected) plus all the necessary telemetry. here you can edit again the mission, run the mission, or go back the mission list.

  • Page 25 The drone have a limited memory dedicate to store a waypoint mission, so it can not be too much “big”, the memory occupied by a waypoint vary based on many factor but mainly from the “heading mode”, as indication: if you use all waypoint with “progressive” heading you will able to add up to 99 waypoints in a single mission.
