hi all you Good people

i have a project which scare me a bit. i need to map 12 kilometers of powerlines, i was using a mavic air 2s, but want to know what is the best method to get the pics? i used dji flight planner and litchi to create autonomous flights and to set the overlap, but now it seems i will struggle. its a newly erected power line so do not think i will find it on dji flight planner or even using litchi. should i manually fly over the lines, and just try to take pics as close to 2 second intervals as possible and then? just put that in to webodm and click go?

any assistance please
