Creating Waypoint Missions On DJI Pilot 2: Episode 8

[@jimmullins1732]

Is there anyway to create a waypoint template? You could save the speed, altitude, and basic settings. Then paste it to the section on the map needed. Then simply make your waypoint adjustments.

The DJI POilot 2 don´t premit to create a waypoint on starting a video recording and an other waypoint action when stop video recording. Unfortunetly it runs only with photos. Some inspections "need" to be made with videos, and even including the waypoint action for start a video record after, the waypoint don´t save the gimball and zoom position. It MUST BE AVAILABLE

Can you create mission when already flying? I have a drone with DJI Zenmuse L1 and P1. I want to do some manual missions and I can't get them to start. I'd also like to go to preplanned missions when in flight, but just change altitude for photogrammetry.

[@DJIEnterprise]

Yes you can start missions while in flight or start live mission recording for compatible drones.

Can you make changes to all waypoints at once?

[@DJIEnterprise]

Changes for all waypoints would be done in the "Route" tab, changes for individual waypoints would be done in the "Waypoint" tab.

@@DJIEnterprise Been trying this for a task, we are doing multiple waypoints but the action we want (take a picture every X seconds) needs to be added to every single waypoint. Is there a way to add an action for all the waypoints on the route or does it have to be done individually

[@paulmccarthy9174]

Forgot to add "or is it a case of whatever action is added on waypoint 1is continued throughout the remainder of waypoints unless a new action is added"

​@@paulmccarthy9174 UPDATE Ill add it here just in case someone else has the same issue. The waypoint system does actually work however the logics of the planning do not seem to be explained very well So when planning a waypoint mission (say 5 waypoints) you plot on the screen the waypoints but in order to add an action you need to go back to waypoint 1 and add the action- this action "seems" to give all the other waypoints the same action unless a different action is added, NB that the action is not actually listed on the other waypoints. So Waypoint 1 would have the action (say timed interval photo of 2 seconds) but waypoints 2-5 would not however the action designated in waypoint 1 would continue in waypoints 2-5 Where I was going wrong is that because I plotted the waypoints in first I didnt realise you had to navigate back to the 1st waypoint before adding the action. NB this is based on half a days flight testing to achieve a task so its not a definitive solution but it may help out as I tried various sources to research the logic behind the software but nowhere seemed to explain it very well

@@DJIEnterprise Only some of the initial settings. However, after that there is no way to do it (camera and aircraft action). It would be great if "DJI Pilot 2" had some basic features of third party apps. I really dislike having to find work arounds on a system (M30T) I spend this kind of money on. Specifically, repeatable inspection missions. It would also be PRO if we could plan from our computers. Right now I connect monitor, mouse and keyboard to my controller to make things a little easier. I'd happily pay for professional mission planning software (M30 is not listed as compatible with DJI Terra).

Hey, I'm looking for a function to measure an area in manual flight. I'm flying around a field on the boundary and I need to know the area. How to do it quickly? I don't need an orthophotomap. M300, Pilot 2
