> == Align camera == With the generator "Circle" the Kopter will be aligned automatically in that way that the camrea points always to the "POI".<
> The camera points with the camera tilt on the pre-set height of the "POI". For that reason that in this example the "POI" is on the ground and not in a height of 20mtr. it need to be adjusted. <
><
> '''__Modification in the Editor__'''<
> How alignes the camera? Each !WayPoint has as settings: <
> * '''Altitude''' = 20 * This is the altitude of the Kopter at the !WayPoint * '''Heading''' = P1 * The Kopter rotates with this settings automatically and always to the first "POI" (P1). * '''CAM-Nick''' = AUTO * The camera mount points automatically on the pre-set height of the "POI". In the '''"Editor"''' is for the '''"POI"''' the same height of 20mtr entered as well as for the !WayPoints. <
> But our "POI" is located on the ground. So that the camera is pointing downwards to the "POI" the desired height need to be adjusted.<
><
> Here you need to mark with a "mouse-click" the POI-Value "20" in the editor.<
> With "F2" you are able now to edit and modify the value. In this example we assume a height for the "POI" of 1mtr. <
> This will be entered and confirmed with a "click" on "Enter".<

><

><
> = Example 2 - POI-Flight in different heights + Trigger camera per WP = In this example a tower should be flown around automatically in two different heights. Those captured photos/images can be merged i.e. into a panorama. <
> Also here we want to take a radius of 50mtr. and photos should be taken out of 10 different directions.<
> The first height for the flight around the tower should be 20mtr and the second one should be 40mtr. <
><
> '''First circle'''<
> The settings for the first flight are the same like explained in '''Example 1''' and entered into the map.<
><
> '''Second Circle'''<
> The second flight has the same settings. Only the height is different and need to be changed under "Altitude" to 40mtr.<
> For that reason that the Kopter should do both flights together you must place the second circle over the first one.<
> Here you need to take off the checkmark in '''"Delete existing WPs"'''. <
> '''INFO:''' <
> If you want to fly a complete closed circle you can activate '''''Add point to close circle'''''.<
> In this case an extra waypoint is placed to the first waypoint.<
><
> Into the '''Climb rate''' you can enter 30 (or a different value). Here will be determined how fast the Kopter will climb between the !WayPoints. <
> In this case it concerns the rise between the last !WayPoint of the lower circle and the first !WayPoint of the top circle. <

><
> (!) '''__TIPP__'''<
> In this example we just have only two heights. To take photos/images of a building or a tower you can place several circles (as described in "Example 2")over each other.<
> The camera tilt will align automatically to the appropriate height at the certain "POI".<
> So that the camrera can align itself correctly the camera tilt should be aligned horizontally during a start. <

> = Settings to trigger camera = In the '''Examples 1+2''' the Kopter stops at each !WayPoint and triggers the camera at each !WayPoint. Here the time was set to trigger the camera under '''WP event'''.<
><
> <> Those settings are described here: [[fr/WaypointEvent|WP-Event Trigger camera]]<
><
> If you want to fly the circle without stops per !WayPoint you can set the '''"Delay Time: [s]"''' for the !WayPoints to "0".<
> This makes it possible for a continuous video flight.<
> <> = The WayPoint Flight = The settings are made and the !WayPoints created.<
><
> Now the !WayPoints will be transfered to the Kopter. (Link: [[MikroKopterTool-OSD#Transfer_WayPoints_to_the_Kopter|See transfered WayPoints]])<
> The camera mount will be aligned in that way that the camera points straight (horizontal) forward. <
><
> You can start the Kopter and "park" it in the air. Here you need to activate the function '''"Hold Height"''' and '''"!PositionHold"'''. <
><
> To self-align the Kopter and the camera (Kopter should point southward) you need to activate the function '''"!CareFree"'''. <
><
> So that you can start now with the !WayPoint-Flight the GPS-Switch must be set to '''"!ComingHome"'''.<
> Direct after switching the Kopter starts with the !WayPoint-Flight.<
><
> Is the !WayPoint-Flight done the Kopter will stop at the last !WayPoint. Now the Kopter can be flown manually back and also been landed.<
> Of course you can set the GPS-Switch to "OFF" and after that to again to "!ComingHome". Then the Kopter will fly automatically back to the start-point.
