For waypoint missions, allow a deviation from the flight path without stopping the mission. This allows manual override to avoid unexpected obstacles and to tweak the camera angle in real-time. The maximum flight path deviation could be a setting in the mission settings, e.g. 5m in each direction (up, down, left or right in direction of fight). If the user has deviated from the flight plan, lets say 3 meters up and to the right, then that same deviation would be carried through all subsequent waypoints until the end of the mission, unless the user manually adjusts back to the ‘neutral’ position. This would be especially useful for missions flown low to the ground or close to trees etc where the location of terrain features may be misrepresented on Google maps.
This allows you to plan a flight before you arrive on location, but also enables you some flexibility to react to tweak the flight plan on the fly to suit conditions at the time.
