I've shared my crash video. I posted a question about spurious mission ending and loss of gimbal control. I can now post a video that is fairly watchable and gives the bigger picture. Yet also shows some possible cinematic flaws with Litchi gimbal control only. But the overall flight and video show litchi to be quite capable in precisely following a track and maintaining a good POI heading over a prolonged flight. (I said heading. Gimbal control can be a bit erratic on this flight which I've flown three times now).
Here is the goal. Fly exactly over every leg of my property line (33 acres) with the camera pointed at the house at all times. Idea being to give a unique perspective of property extent. While I know how to set up a path to follow terrain, that would not have given me what I wanted. So I stayed at 200 ft over takeoff point which was almost the highest point of the property. This is from the mission that lost gimbal control near the end. But it accidentally yielded an end better than the original focus on poi intent.
Note the jerky gimbal movement at one or two points as well as the off center poi at times (not an error in mission programming because subsequent flights behaved differently in these regards.)
Have sound on and enjoy the soothing music.
Here is an example of a Litchi mission demonstrating what you can do (there are a couple glitches with gimbal aiming which I need to sort out.)
The idea is to fly directly over my entire property line at 200 ft with the camera trained on the house to provide a perspective of property extent. I used google maps (which shows property lines) to get Lat/Lon of each turn in the property line. I used them to create waypoints in litchi mission hub. Then added more intermediate waypoints to smooth out camera aiming (may not have been the right idea). I used the litchi POI function to keep focus on the house. Gimbal control hasn't been perfect. But heading and waypoint flight was rock solid.
Turn up the sound and enjoy the music.
