I want to show this village on the foothills of Mount Etna in Sicily with a top-down view
0:06
and then progressively descend and move to the left while the camera pans to the right
0:11
to frame Mount Etna. So I fly to the right of the village at medium altitude framing the central square
0:21
A window in the lower part of the screen suggests hitting the C1 button of the RC2 controller
0:28
to set the first point. Users with a RCM2 controller should use the FN button
0:36
The first point is set. I then fly to the left to have the center of the village in the middle of the frame
0:43
rise to the maximum altitude and get closer for a top-down view
0:50
If I open the small window on the screen I can visualize existing points or add a new
0:55
one by tapping on the first available one, in this case point number 2
1:02
Then I fly backward and to the left while descending and move the camera slightly to
1:08
the right toward the mountain. I can set the third point here
1:14
Finally I move to the left and lower the altitude. In this case I accidentally hit the C1 button creating a waypoint that I don't need
1:24
So I open the small window and tap on point number 4
1:28
A window will open with all the data relative to this point and I can delete it by tapping
1:34
on the dustbin icon on the top left of the window. If we leave the window open while entering the points we can check the expected direction
1:43
of the flight, the distance to be traveled and the number of points forming the mission
1:50
All useful info. Now I can tilt the camera to frame mount Etna and set the fourth and last point
