Was out this morning flying missions with Tower and wanted to fly a circle of a large commercial building. Unfortunately, the circle command only goes allows for a circle of about 164'. I could have drawn WPs around the building and designate the building as a POI, but without the gimbal as each WP is reached there is noticeable jerk as it changes direction. I then decided to try the 'structure scan' option with only 1 'step'. That seemed to do the trick and below is the result with no gimbal and no post stabilization. Interesting note on the Structure scan feature is you can program how many times you want it to go around the structure and put in a change of altitude between each step. This essentially will do a cork screw maneuver around the structure. Other than the 'tilt' of the video from not having a gimbal, I thought it did a decent job. This is with the Peau 4.35mm non fisheye lens, 1080p 60fps.
The command also allows you to put in the # of circles you want to fly and have an increase in altitude between each circle, producing a corkscrew effect as it rises. Now, how long before we hear 'DJI has this in beta!'
