I generally keep my shots short so wouldn’t try to orbit all the way around a building. Also, the light changes and messes up the exposure too much. However, it may be possible to re-set the Spotlight Pro target on the fly, as it were, while continuing the POI flight (in Composition mode). Maybe...

I think that happened to me the other day but when I got Spotlight Pro involved, everything went well. If you use POI to fky the aircraft, just use SP to fly the gimbal. Sorted.

The same goes for Waypoint flying, as Spotlight Pro is separate from the automated flight functions making it very versatile.

I just set up the POI, by either method, then paused the action and setup the Spotlight Pro target, and continued the POI action. Simple as that and everything stayed perfectly in frame.

I tested POI for the first time yesterday, marking the centre point with both aircraft position and map position, and found that the best way to use it was in combination with Spotlight Pro to keep the subject in the centre of frame. This worked well for me.

That’s interesting.

Thanks Casey, that all make sense (unfortunately for me). With three batteries in this state I can only hope they can be revived, even if it means sending them back to DJI, although that what cost? I was hovering a foot off the ground, waiting for the batteries to discharge to 5%, when they...

Yes, thanks for the info, but I can’t get the batteries to charge.

Perhaps foolishly, I decided to deep discharge my TB50 batteries after updating the I2 firmware. I hovered above my landing pad and was going to take the batteries down to 5% before landing. However, the aircraft shut down before 5% was reached. Now, I cannot charge three of my six batteries and...

Ok, thanks for the update. Looking forward to hearing how you get on.

I’m following this discussion with interest. Did switching the gimbal to Free mode help, T-Bolt?

Thanks. Please can you tell me if Autopilot will work correctly if DJI GO is open? This would at least make it possible to monitor and adjust exposure settings in GO while running or pausing an Autopilot mission. If you have to close down AP before opening GO, the exposure may have changed...

Are there any plans to include Zebra pattern in Autopilot? I think this feature and, possibly, focus peaking are essential and would mean we could use the new Go App style interface with confidence when setting exposure.

Does Litchi give all the camera control settings found in Go 4? I Iike Autopilot but there's no exposure lock, histogram or zebras yet.

Have you considered adding some kind of jitter effect in post production? I once used one to create a hand-held look after shooting from a tripod.
