Set camera attitude / zoom

The Set camera attitude/zoom action enables to change the angle for camera roll, tilt, and yaw and to set the required camera zoom level. The angle can be set from 0° (inclusively) through 360° (exclusively). Zoom levels are integral positive values.

In UgCS for DJI, the value of the zoom level is displayed between zoom buttons. This value varies for different DJI cameras according to the camera value range. Therefore, before defining the Set camera attitude action value, check the border zoom values of the camera.

The zoom level in UgCS is set using the focal length measured in mm, where zoom x1 equals 24 mm. For instance, if the min zoom for a camera is x2, it roughly corresponds to 48 mm in UgCS, and the zoom x10 = 24*10=240 mm.

The optical zoom range of a particular camera limits the Zoom settings of UgCS.

Note: Some vehicles do not support this action.

Note: The yaw parameter works ONLY with DJI M300.The value is given in degrees relative to the North.

Note: Due to the different technical approaches of Z30, it is impossible to see the correct zoom values in UgCS for DJI - for now, the workaround to use this functionality is to find the desired zoom value empirically.
