7.5 Vertical Flight Plan
This section will discuss the vertical planning of the device.
The vertical Flight Plan is designed to capture images from a multistoried building, chimneys, etc., where a camera cannot reach. Following are the steps to use vertical flight plan:
- 1.Select a vertical flight plan from the flight type.
- 2.Set the maximum altitude and number of waypoints with the speed of the device.
- 3.Select altitude mode as "Relative" or "Terrain" according to the requirement of an application.
- 4.Click "Next" button for further settings.
- 5.Now add the fencing points to secure your drone.

8. Add at least 3 fence points with the altitude required.
9. Save the plan and proceed for flight.
- You can provide number of way-points with the desired altitude to each way-point.
- The minimum value of the altitude should be set at 10 meters.
- Hold can be provided to each way-point, if you want to hover on particular height.
- Individual speed can be assigned to the way-points.
- Camera action defines the photo capture action.
The end result of this is a sequence of photographs acquired with a precise forward and side overlap, which may subsequently be stitched together to form a vertical orthomosaic or even a 3D model. This data can then be utilized to discover faults like cracks and other damage.
