Infinite Cable Cam

[matwelli]

Phantom P3P and the Litchi App

Set up 6 way points, 1 and 6 at 5 meters high, the rest at 3 meters (Litchi allows this , DJI GO wont drop below 5m)
Set the speed to 0 kph (allows you to control speed along the virtual cable with the pitch stick )

I set the first and last waypoint higher so I could tell I was nearing them. If you hit the last waypoint it stops.

Heading was in "free mode" so I can control it manually

very happy it worked, so could set this up in a sizeable area, and run backwards and forwards tracking sport or similar. I would set the end height really high (say 30M so you know you are approaching them)

looks fun Mat, were the yaw deviations in the video from you flying it like that, the gimbal, or the software?

That was me on the yaw, yawing it to keep boat in frame while also checking visually the flight path (running quite close to obstacles) , will do a run with the software running the yaw as a comparison
