[QUOTE="Tom Croley, post: 40000, member: 3843"] Yes, the camera will stay on target and will vary only with the normal gps drifting. If you have really good gps reception, then there is no drifting. Each flight mode has 3 difficulty settings, Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced. You get more features as you increase the difficulty. For zip line, I like to fly advanced. You can use an on screen slider to slide the position of the AC to any point along the zipline.... slide it back and forth...whatever. Basic is more automatic. Intermediate is sort of "either or"....Fly to A or Fly to B. Regardless...the camera stays on target and as a bonus... you can easily change the target on the fly. You can also change the Point A and Point B locations on the fly without stopping the mission. There are several ways to focus the camera... I prefer using either Subject mode or Joystick mode, with joystick mode, you control the camera with the Joystick while the AC flys itself according to your settings. Zipline is actually a "waypoint" mission with only two waypoints. RTH..... I looked really carefully for a RTH button on the screen and found NONE.... maybe there is an option for it in the settings. I always use the RC controller with my mini 4 attached in a mount on top. I have one custom RC button programmed to "disengage" the mission....this is important because it is easier to hit the button then it is to hit the "disengage" word on the screen. It disengages instantly and then hovers. (I think there is an option to have it RTH as soon as you disengage...I have that turned off) If you have that option ON, then yes there is a RTH button on the screen that says "Disengage". It is easier to find and hit the C1 button on the RC controller. I rarely use RTH because I don't trust it fully. (bad experience) Should I want to use it.... I would first hit the C1 button to disengage the mission (or his the button on the screen) and then I would push the RTH button on the RC controller. Always disengage before attempting to control the AC manually or RTH. BEWARE.... When flying any mission, start your engines manually and fly out to a save area and low altitude. Then start the engage sequence. When it engages, it really takes off and the RC controller no longer works the way you are used to (depending on the type of mission). You can start the mission from the ground if you like, but if there is something in the way that you did not figure on....then you might hit it. It is also wise to adjust the speed of the drone down until you get used to the mission and the overall function of the system. I still have a lot to learn having logged 54 autopilot flights now.
