Cube-fly

Height of the object you want to survey

If activated the last mission point will be connected to the first point.

Add a normal mission which covers the terrain limited by the vertical mission area. The elevation of the normal mission will be automatically defined starting from the target height and the path distance. For example, if you set 10 meters as target height and a path distance of 40 meters, the normal mission will fly at 50 (40+10) meters as elevation.

Flip the mission: if the mission path is outside the selected area, ticking on "Flip" the path is inside.

Camera drone chosen, it is important to select as first because it defines all parameters of drone mission.

Aspect ratio available on the camera.

Front overlap of photos, in this kind of mission we advice to higher this value, the overlap of not parallel shots change from left and right side, can be needed to arrive to 80% or 85%.

Lateral overlap of photos, in this kind of mission we advice to higher this value.

Length of extra path when the drone has to come back on the path, it guarantees to cover fully the path and will turn by a curve instead to stop, rotate and restart with big saving battery and time.

If activated the Tilt will be 0° (Horizontal).

Distance between Drone and vertical object.

Time between each shot, bigger values give slower speed and better quality.

Note: be careful that this parameter influence also the total time of flight.

Size in cm of one pixel in the photo.

Speed of drone, smaller values gives better photos quality.

In general to get a good quality the speed has to be less than 5 m/s, best quality less than 4 m/s

Total flight time without considerate the wind speed.

Better to stay to 75% of battery time possibilities taking in consideration the life of the battery. Older they are less it the autonomy.

Approximate number of shots.

Path development length.

Alternate take off  and landing point.

In general it is preferable to start from the furthest point and end at the closest point.

In the layer settings, check to have activated "Mission path" and "Show vertical path":

Switch from 3D and 2D views of the map.

If 3D map is activated, rotate it of 90°.
