3.3. Making AirPhoto

The program requires piloting skills (it is not for beginners). First, you have to fly up to the suitable height. Use at the beginning of 1x1 Airphoto iteration
Before starting you have to make a plan. You will choose right altitude and observe that there are no obstacles in the drone’s way. Observe online(WiFi) area and if possible use Skycontroller. Example to make AirPhoto on altitude=100m, then picture iteration step is 150m (this require a Skycontroller). AirPhoto will be made only in drone connected mode (not Mavlink). AirPhoto will be loaded on the map immediately after the snapshot. Use drone only with fully loaded batteries. AirPhoto making on altitude 100m and iteration 2x2 will take 5min
Warning: Bebop 2 cannot automatically avoid any obstacle in its path during Return Home flight. Make sure the flight path is clear, and you have established line-of-sight with the drone before activating Return Home. If the connection between your smartphone and the Bebop 2 is lost, Bebop 2 returns to its starting point automatically after a certain period of time. You can change this time in Return home delay (RTH). RTH is take off position (2.2.A3.1)
Before starting you have to set the flight parameters
- max altitude
- max distance (example 150m (altitude 50m, 2x2 AirPhoto matrix))
- max vert. Speed
- max rot. Speed
- max speed
- Return Delay. Return home(RTH) if drone disconnected (example 10s). RTH is take off position
If you start AirPhoto function, then the button becomes red. Any piloting command will stop AirPhoto program and button becomes green. After that, you can use button Home
Before snapshot, program controls WiFi and battery. If battery status or WiFi signal strength is below 15%, then program gives warning and command go home
After last snapshot drone flies to the starting point (first snapshot place, not home)
Example: AirPhoto setup (3x-2), 3 iterations to North and -2 iterations to West

On map are visible drone(red), device(blue), home(green)

Airphoto iteration setup

Aerofoto iteration setup

Aerofoto iteration 1,2,3 North (-1,-2,-3 South) and 1,2,3 East (-1,-2,-3 West)
Declination angle (degrees). If automatic detection not suitable, you can write another angle. Magnetic declination or variation is the angle on the horizontal plane between magnetic North (the direction the north end of a compass needle points, corresponding to the direction of the Earth's magnetic field lines) and true north (the direction along a meridian towards the geographic North Pole). This angle varies depending on a position on the Earth's surface, and changes over time.
