Although I have managed to insert camera trigger points into a Structure Scan survey within Tower.
However then recording still shots (see method below) while flying a circle,
the front left leg of Solo gets in the shot (bottom left of photo).
This because the Gopro camera on gimbal is weighted on the left side of the craft, and a) the orbiting craft is tilting left.
If the Solo orbited in a counterclockwise direction (default is clockwise)
I think the left mounted camera, when Solo is orbiting right would not capture the right leg in photo frame.
So, does anyone know how to change the default Tower orbit direction when flying a Circle or Structure Scan?
Given the left mount camera on gimbal, I think the default direction should be counterclockwise.
Create Still Shots using Tower.
Method in summary,
I create a very small normal Survey Mission.
From this, I edit all except one waypoint that exists between the auto generated camera trigger points.
I then select the mid waypoint (between trigger points) and from pull down menu, change the Waypoint to Structure Scan.
When uploaded to drone, it changes to a circle (no worries), as it performs the same duty.
Solo flies in orbit while taking still shots, at distance intervals modified in Trigger Point menu pulldown.
