Orbit Mode, Help

You can try the mapping feature.

i need to film a plot of land bigger than the 100 meters radius that orbit mode lets you, any ideas how to do it? i had the mavic zoom and you select the land and it will encircle it, i think it was called POI (point of interest). tried waypoints but evo waypoints its almost unusable with every waypoint stopping and then heading to the other

Just orbit manually. It's easy. Just pull the sticks away from each other. Adjust as needed.

yeah will do that, clearly evo is better than mavic in many areas, but is also much worse in others! cant believe they dont have a point of interest feature like the one in dji, dont forget this is a flying camera not a hobby rc plane!

I guess I don’t understand the question. Use orbit mode to set a center point and then orbit around it. Why doesn’t this work?

because the maximum radius that evo lets you is 100 meters or 330 feet! and the plot of land i need to film around is much bigger

Yup, I see it right in the app manual. Thanks.

Have they improved orbit mode at all since it first came out? I heard it was horrible with jerky movements and such.

Not that I have noticed.
If it hasn't happened in almost 2 years, with all the emphasis on an EVO 2, no further improvements are likely to be made to the EVO. It is what it is.
