How take photos at regular intervals flying a path?

marciano · Mar 19, 2017

I want to fly a path created with waypoints and thake photos regularly, time or distance set. Any app? P4P

Yes, it is called, DJI GS Pro - an iPad app designed to control or plan automatic flights for DJI aircraft.

I already have it but that option is only available for 3D Map not for waypoints

Oh, sorry, I only use for mapping. Does Litchi for DJI Mavic/Phantom/Inspire not do waypoint photos! Not sure.

Yes, they do. But I'm asking to do it along the path at regular intervals of time or distance (I prefer time)

you can do this with map pilot with the addiotnal line waypoints i think its around $20 upgrade fee which then allows photos on a line as well as grid

I have used Map Pilot for mapping. One thing I don't like is that you upload a mission to the aircraft but it is still app dependent. I remember once the app crashed, the aircraft completed uploaded path/grid but it stopped taking photos.
I'm afraid connection with RC//tablet/app could be interrupted for a while then no more photos.
Anyway it is good to know this way. Thanks.

Linear Flight Planning

It seems it is possible only with the camera down, no other options.

For the P4P, GO4, Litchi, FPV Camera and maybe others it is possible. I asked because Litchi doesn't display and store camera preferences but FPV camera does.
New drone models are able to shot jpegs at 2 secs+ intervals
