Change camera angle to take photo of the ground

[TheoBares]

I would like to take photos of the ground using the camera. I tried to use the gimbal with the method set_target() but it is not working…
Any idea of how i can do it ? Thank you.

Hi @TheoBares,

The set_target() function is the right way to move the gimbal. You can use it like this to move the gimbal down:

drone = olympe.Drone([Drone_ip])
drone.connect()

drone(gimbal.set_target(
      gimbal_id=0,
      control_mode="position",
      yaw_frame_of_reference="none",
      yaw=0.0,
      pitch_frame_of_reference="absolute",
      pitch=-90.0,
      roll_frame_of_reference="none",
      roll=0.0,
))

drone.disconnect()

For more information on set_target(), please refer to this documentation. Olympe documentation is available here.

Regards,
Axel

Hello Axelm,

Apparently, I was not using the right frame of reference (I was using the “position” one).

I just tested your solution and it works !

Thank you very much !
