This is the best waypoint tutorial I found! Thank you so much! Now it's crystal clear!!

Thanks for your lesson on waypoint creations,I have viewed quite a few.I liked your slow pace approach,makes it easier for me to learn

The presentation and clarity on this video is flawless, the info. provided is very helpful and relevant. As a novice Dronie I am grateful for having stumbled across this presentation.

Thanks for your time. Keep on flying my friend

Thanks for the great video. The capability of drones these days is amazing.

Very creative way to experience the eclipse… especially since it looks like you had overcast skies. 👍

Nice video. One suggestion would be to have more than one point of interest.

Thank you for the insightful tutorial! As someone who operates under Part 107, it's important for me as a consultant to track construction progress for my clients. Upgrading to the Mavic 3 Pro allows me to bid farewell to Litchi........

5:34 why would the areas change based on type of drone?

Valuable information thanks!

Great video but my DJI RC Pro did not showing the waypoint icon until I connected my Mavic 3 Pro. It immediately showed then. I was then able to turn my drone off and the icon remained.

I'm assuming the answer is the batteries need to be replaced, but do the DJI mavic air batteries tend to swell even just a little bit after running a full flight? Also, do you or does anyone know where to get a decent deal on DJI mavic air batteries still at this time in June 2024? The battery seem to be so expensive...it might be better off just to buy another drone. 😅 Thanks for your great videos.

What about Way Point 2; what is the camera action there? None or Start Recording? 5 different Way Point videos & none stated what the camera does @ an intermediate Way Point!

Thank you for sharing this most useful information on battery care. I have one quick question. I do not use drone that much only may be in 6 months or so when I go on holiday. So what's the best way to store the battery so it does not discharge completely. Do I leave it in the intelligent battery pack and the battery pack will prevent discharging the battery after it reaches minimum level? Thanks in advance.

I have been setting waypoints with my m2 pro for 7 years .dji said you couldnt but thats not true

is 63C to hot for a lipo battery after a flight?

Many thanks for this great video. Although I am not reckless, I learned a good bit from your video.

Hi, truly helpful and valuable infos for LiPos health care. I'm sure not all of us know the special features of lipos that can pose a risk in certain circumstances. What I missed was a remark on DJI's feature called "auto-discharge" or "self-discharge" to help maintain their health and longevity. This feature reduces issues from staying at 100% charge for long period.

Doesn’t support all drones. The moderator should have mentioned that Thumb download 👎

subscribe to this guy ...

This dude knows his stuff. And his presentation is flawless! As an old, retired EE with many years of battery tech experience, my advice is to pay heed to this excellent video.

Thanks for the video. Can you do this without unfolding the drone?

Yeah, I didn't know too much about that with my drone batteries. At first I used to charge my batteries to 100% because I thought they would go bad, but then I heard about leaving them partially charged. I haven't used my drones for about 6-7 months now. I'm wondering if the batteries are still in great working condition. I don't fly when it's below 45° because I don't like the cold weather too much. I fly during summer. Do you think that's a good idea, To leave them alone without charging for so many months? I love the video and all the great information that you have provided. I'm now a new subscriber of yours and hopefully continue to get awesome information. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍

Outstanding presentation. I learned some things even though I've done this before. Keep it up. Thanks.

Amazing portability. Love the different modes you can use.

We also use terrain following for our M300 RTK for LiDAR survey, we received the pop up warning that we were in an altitude zone, but according to the fly-safe site we were not. The drone would only go up to maybe 25-30ft due to the GEO zone restriction, instead of the preset 250ft which is what we typically fly from the ground for survey. I went through the process of applying for permission through DJI but it said we need to submit proof from an authority. I looked into applying through LAANC and there is no restriction in this area through FAA so of course I can't get clearance for an area that doesn't need clearance. I'm lost on this one, do you have any thoughts? I can provide coordinates if you'd like.

Hi from the UK. Great info, thanks so much.

So in order to unlock the drone in an Authorization Zone i need to first get the authorization from FAA. But since DJI let's you unlock, what happens to those people that unlock their DJI drone without getting the OK from the FAA first?

most DJI batteries are not li-po, their li-on

Excellent info! Very well presented.

Pretty scary! Guess i should pull off the charger.🎉

DJI recommends discharging Phantom 3 batteries to less than 8% every 20 charge-discharge cycles. Any recommendations on how best to do these? BTW, thanks for the video guides and tips! 👍

Stumbled on this video today. This was very useful!

Thank You!

Whenever I do this, none of my stuff actually downloads it just continuously says downloading. I can’t even preview everything it’s just gray boxes. Could it be something to do with the SD card I’m using. I’m using 128 gig SD card.

Love your video, very helpful and easy to understand. I've been flying drone since 2017 with first being phantom original then the 2 etc. I now own several drones Inspire 1 Thermal, Mavic 2 and Mavic 3 t . I only used them primarily for home inspection of roof. I now want to expand to other areas and your video's have been very helpful. Thanks

Can anybody help?? I was told by DJI phone support that there is no way to transfer waypoint path files from one RC/Drone to another one. This is extremely important if I am to use this feature for any serious projects or client assignments. I cannot rely on a multi-year waypoint mission if there is a chance the RC/drone is lost, stolen, or broken. Not to mention, it would help if you had a partner that could return to the jobsite with their drone to fly the same path when you can't be there. Has anybody done this successfully?

How do you make a subject a poi in waypoints?

Well executed and explained. Thanks from Newfoundland.

my drones 7.4v have 3 wires and its hard to buy some batteries aftermarket so im thinking buying one off those high perfomrance lipos for fpv drones ,but they have two conectors ! So i need to solder all the 5 wires or only the positive egative and white wire for balancing the voltage ?taking in consideration that the normal battery drones have a board in the plastic inclosure to balance the voltage and overcharge protection!

Dont store for a long time, but fails to mention what is a long time. With my mini black and mini grey I notice the blacks seem better in the cold. Then I bought the none DJI big battery for the Pro 3 as they were giving out the fire bag which you'd think would be mandatory for storage.

Thankyou for the valuable information ...much appreciated.

THIS IS MOSTLY COMONSENS ! WHERE IS THE " MUST KNOW " ?

Thank you for the information. I noticed all my mavic batteries get warm without being used…I’m worried, is that normal? What am I doing wrong? I usually store them in room temperature

Excellent video. However, i need your help. I have a Mavic 3T Enterprise with a RC Pro controller. Everything is on the latest firmware. My issue is that when i press that waypoint icon, i do not the screen that you do that says "Press C1 button to add waypoint with the Waypoint, POI, or the + button. When I press the waypoint icon, it pulls a screen from right side that says Create Route with a + symbol. If i press the plus symbol, it gives me the option to select Waypoint Route. I then, can create a route, but it is only manually meaning tapping my waypoints from the map screen on my controller. Would you by chance know why i do not have the same options as you? The way that you set waypoints will make it extremely easy for me to set waypoints during flight, rather than having to guess my altitude when manually selecting waypoints from the maps screen.

Lots of great and useful information here! Great job!!!

Good info. Might benefit from - info on how to best discharge batteries to a good storage voltage - ideas on how to keep batteries at a good operating temperature for those that might spend all day out in the cold with a small portable drone in the pack.

Hi! Very good information. Veeery important Video!!! With my new mini 4 and before with the mini 3 I do/did the following procedure: land the drone when bat is in range of 15%-20% (that is the beginning of the orange status on the flight app). When back home I load them up to around 63%-66%. How? This level is reached, when the third green led has just started to light constantly (check by pressing the status button, dont use the load indication!). When I'm up for a flight I load them all to 100% 4 hrs before. I have 6 bats. I usually use 3 for a run, but can use 6 for a full fun day. I do something similar with the controller..... After flying 3 bats the controller has around 70-85%. I leave it and make the next run without loading it, as it still has enough juice for the next 3 friends. Then after that run I do it the same way as with the bats. And I have an extra box, built for LiPo airplane transports, where all bats and the controller fit in. That LiPo box was about 100,-- EUR. It's worth it, I believe. And yes, I have a second charging hub, which keeps me in the 4 hrs range when loading all 6 boys and the controller. I guess most newbie pilots load them to 100% and let the logic do the rest or leave them discharged. Some of my drone mates do it that way, even though I explained it to them. One cant help always. 🙄 I got these hints from a battery expert (works at photovoltaic company and he's the battery master of them). Have a good time and fly savely! Greets from Germany. 😊

Last year, during the heat of summer (about 95 degrees ambient temp), I had a DJI Mavic 2 battery blow apart on me while in flight. I had already finished flying and flew it over to the parking lot area and let it hover about 10 feet off the ground while I walked over to the parking lot. Then boom, I see the battery blow apart and thankfully the battery separated from the drone. The drone without a battery is pretty light so it more or less fluttered to the ground and miraculously, there's a thick grassy patch about 3 feet wide that the drone fell on so it didn't sustain any damage. The battery, on the other hand, had basically blown into two halves. No fire though.

Yup I tried this and nothing load this is my problem with the Dji 4 pro
