So I've got a job coming up in a couple of weeks. we're doing a bunch of aerial stuff and the client asked if it would be possible to do a tracking time-lapse shot from the sky. I thought one way I could do this would be to fly in GPS with the velocity clamp all the way to its lowest position then fly until my batteries are getting low, set a new home point, come back, land, change batteries and then send it back to that new home position and continue the shot, but then I realised you can't set a new home point beyond 20m of the initial home position, so this looks like it won't work. Has anyone done a tracking time-lapse shot from the sky before? How did you do it? Cheers, Alex
The ALTA is the wrong platform for this. It's straightforward to do with a system that has waypoints that you can program. I'd look at using something like an Inspire 1. I've seen something like this done with one of those.
