For point 4, now you can choose if the altitude shift must be done all at the first waypoint or all along, gradually. Point 6, I fearone has to buy the 11$ version because it writes a full log but only when using autoshot mode and you can't use autoshot mode in free flight, and the free version...

It's a feature of the DJI Go 4 app, this clip shows where it's located. Just set it down to -5.0 and you'll get a vertical camera:

If you modify the camera pitch you can get 90 deg, or nadir

Today I tried to use AutoShot: i did set it to 5 seconds - continuous and then flew, but no photos were taken. Do I have to do something else in order to use AutoShot in free flight mode? Do I have to click the "start"button to make autoshot kick in? I feared doing it because I never went into...

does the log get created only with autoshoot on? and where, exactly? I found something under DJI\redwaypoint but not a file named as you say. OK, I'll try autoshoot tomorrow. Does it work also with free flight or do I have to fly a planned mission? Tnx again :)

I should check what .Net can do for iOS, maybe through mono, we'll see :)

That's exactly what I've been searching for! I already created a .Net exe who take in inputs a folder of pictures and a file listing the images with the correct GPS data, then corrects the EXIF GPS data in the pictures so they should be good for any mapping-telemetry software. I'll be in...

Dronemapper accepts in input the vertical pictures (orthophoto) you took with the drone, reads their position and heading and camera pitch from the EXIF GPS data and creates a map out of them. This is currently impossible with the Spark since all the pictures I took on a 30 x 50 meters city...

Good idea! These days I had almost lost control of my spark: the video feedback was sluggish and teared and some data in the app didn't show up, as the aircrafts's name for example, and IMU reported "unknown status", then 30 minutes ago I realised I was in 2.4 GHz and bluetooth was on, lol...

I just created an application in C# which would automate the process of cycling thtough every image in a folder (asking the user wich folder) and search the image in a kind of a log file (asking the user for its path) then read the full coords and correct the exif fields of the pic via exiftool...

The problem in in the precision: if you look at the 2 GPS lat/lon fields you'll see the last 3 decimals are all the same, and if you take many vertical pictures (ortophotos) at 5 meters of distance each one while moving the Spark forward, you'll see that they all have the same exact GPS lat/lon...

Just sync your flights using the DJI GO app and you'll have that info along with many more:

Hi, I'm getting horrible results in dronemapper since my spark saves just 3 decimals on the lat and long exif tags, while a decent job needs at least 5 if not 6 decimals. I know other DJI drones write down all the decimals, and I discovered monthos ago that the spark writes just the first 3...
