If you're within RC range then yes. But if you're doing that kind of work it would probably work better to do it manually and maybe clip some orbit shots together.
My concern is it not automatically adjusting the pitch while out of range. You said that your "work around" for this is to adjust the gimbal to the desired pitch before it goes out of range. That would mean that it's pointed down for 1/2 the flight and only the part I needed it to be pointed...
I know the P4 has very limited range but when I got the litchi app I was hoping the "waypoints" flight option was my answer to get good quality long distance footage (by good quality I mean being able to pitch the gimbal down to look at a defined subject during the flight and not just staring at...
UPDATE: I got a direct answer from Litchi...
Pretty disheartening considering I measured on google maps the distance for the controller to start cutting out (2000 feet), I was hoping litchi waypoints was the answer to getting decent, longer distance footage.
Yes gimbal was set to follow and yes that should be plenty of time to for it to move down. I'm wondering if those power lines caused interference with the gimbal.
I've tried a few waypoint missions and each time when I have the waypoints set to "Focus POI" (POI is set to a few feet off the ground), The craft is facing the POI's direction but it doesn't tilt down to see the POI, it just stares out into the horizon oblivion.
Here's the flight (skip to 3:25...
If you set it to interpolate, you can then adjust the gimbal pitch for it to manually look down on waypoints. I think my issue may have been because I set it to interpolate instead of focus POI. I'm gonna make some adjustments and test again this afternoon.
Using the DJI app, when I make contact with the ground and hold the left stick down to land and shut off the rotors, it leans backwards then shuts off and rocks forward to a stop. Scared me a few times that it was going to tip all the way over backwards or forwards.
UPDATE: I did another litchi waypoint mission and this time I didn't manually mess with the gimbal at all, I just let it fly and come back. It seems like the root issue is that when it should be looking down at the POI (which is set a few feet off the ground), it's actually looking straight out...
