True. But i need to shoot the video of phantom slowly going from point A to B. Without slight changes in the direction. So it will be focused on a persons face in the end and wont miss it.
The location is a big field. So no obstacles.
I also prefer to do it manually myself. But was just curious
But the person has to say something. Close up needs 2 be veeeery slow so i dont think that can be a problem.I think you would be better off starting with the close up of the face, then fly away backwards, then reversing the video in post editing. Flying in for the close-up sounds dangerous.
What is the GPS reception like inside the covered bridge? You may have lock but at reduced number of satelites and reduced positional accuracy. If you use return to home you will notice in most instances where you land is off what the craft thinks is the home point, this gives you a feel of how far you can be out from the intended flight path in waypoint. Waypoints should be used with caution in close quarters, watch things closely and be prepared to take control.I too would like to do low altitude flight from waypoint to waypoint. I shot a video going through an old historic covered bridge that had recently been restored. I walked the P3A through the flight very slowly but on looking at the video it looked like I was looking through the eyes of a drunk person. would like to reshoot to get a straight line of flight.
It's all part of the fun, Clark.How the hell did you manage to fly that low, my sphincter would have been twitching

In fact, the film require me to fly in a curved path, not as a straight line. Due to the building arround us. So, CL or HL wouldn't help either, unless we make another adjustment left and right as the bird passing the buildings...I wouldn't be using the waypoints option as a system for close accurate flying - and certainly not the Litchi option. If you want to get close to an object and have full control over the camera, could you not fly the mission first in GO and record that as a waypoint? Then you could re-fly it, taking manual control of the camera. I wonder if this would even work though, I haven't tested it. I use Litchi all the time and it is really good, but not for close-up shots due to the margin of error as discussed earlier.
