Gimbal
The gimbal settings enables the Pilot to set the pitch (up and down) and yaw angles (left and right of center)
for the gimbal. Once the Pilot checks the Gimbal box, a white crescent will appear on all placed mission
waypoints. This crescent indicates the direction of the camera after departing the waypoint. To set the
Pitch, use a numerical value between 0 (forward) and 90 (nadir). To set the Yaw, use a numerical value
from 0 to 180 to the left or right of aircraft forward position.
Mode
Sets the mode of the camera to either capture photos, videos, or surveys.
Photo - Sets the camera to photo mode.
Video – Sets the camera to video mode.
Survey - Sets the camera to survey mode, i.e. photo mode with camera settings of AE mode and
Unprocessed color mode.
TIP! Flight speed is an important consideration to capturing clear and clean orthomosaics
and digital surface models. Ideally, flight is at 4 meters per second/8.5mph (altitude
dependent). If images are being captured every 8 meters, the camera is capturing an
image every two seconds. High speed can incur blurred images, making stitches less
