[@igorgoga7985]

best waypoint tutorial

[@BarendK]

For setup at home, you do not even need to power on the drone. In the app: right bottom corner something with 'connectiom manual' and then the button 'camera view' (top right).

[@PH-md8xp]

Good point!

This is great and much appreciated! Nice and easy to understand

[@TheDroneCreative]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@rewind2play]

Thanks...😊

[@BIGNatureBoy]

Well done video as per usual.. Interesting that if your pre established mission includes entering different flight zones, you can experience mission cancelation even with permissions turned on. Then with building the waypoints in the field by flying, the mission works! Be interested if you try this.

[@ParaglidingManiac]

Your videos are THE BEST on KZbin! You've convinced me to become a member, so I ordered mine from DJI today (mini 4 pro) :)

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you so much! You will love the Mini 4 Pro!!

Sooo good. Thank you. What are your thoughts on declassifying this drone?

[@dbimages.c1974]

Thanks soooo much mate 🙏 well done defs given me confidence to give waypoints a go. 🇦🇺

[@TheDroneCreative]

Happy to help!

[@mikeharv4]

Thanks!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you so much! This is really appreciated.

[@JeffreyJDavis]

Super useful video and explained clearly and matter of factly. Subscribed. What would you say is the most efficient workflow for shoots where you have a limited time on site (i.e. real estate photography)? Set up the way point mission offline in the office and then try it on site and edit it on site only if needed?

[@Darksoul_MTB_Channel]

I really enjoy your videos buddy!! Thanks for the info this is a very helpfull for me! greetings from Greece!!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Really happy to help! Thanks for watching!

[@MyViewsOfTheWorld]

I knew I could find this on your channel! I wanted to learn all about the waypoint missions! Thanks Matthew. One more question, is there a way to back up the missions from the controller? I will make some missions I will need for a year or two for some projects, so I would like to back them up just in case a firmware update wipes the controller or something happens to it and it needs to be replaced. Can I save them to the SD card, for example?

[@ramymelhem]

Can waypoints be saved for future flights when in hyperlapse mode? If so coupd you please explain because i havent figured how to do it.

[@lloydhayes3637]

Would appreciate you indicating that if functionality u r demonstrating with the mini 4 pro “is also available in the mini 3 pro.”

[@kenta5185]

Nice lesson. I like waypoints and missions very much. I have used Litchi for years. Unfortunately my Mini 4 Pro doesn’t work with given GPS waypoints or show current GPS locations. This is badly needed for my SAR missions. Any ideas?

[@INTELMAXELL]

So using the 2nd method the drone must fly over the POI? It's probably best to use the camera pointing down to line up the drone over the POI?

[@RayRay-zc2ed]

Hi, I have a question about the dji rc controller, not the new rc controller 2. While flying my mini pro 3 with the rc controller can an iPhone or iPad be connected to the controller so a second person can view simultaneously what I am viewing on the controller?

[@gladtech4740]

It would be sick if you could connect the route to Google earth and get a visual preview of what youre route will record.

[@johns7988]

Is it possible to plan a waypoint mission at home using a downloaded offline map, for use in an area where there's no WiFi or cell coverage?

[@MrEye4get]

DJI makes a video showing more details about the POUI feature. Waypoints are cool, but there are many options that make a simple flight spectacular.

[@frednorman1]

I’m a little confused about the waypoint and adjusting parameters - for example, heading. Is the heading parameter for waypoint 2 the flight path between waypoints 1 and 2 , or that flight path between waypoints 2 and 3?

[@graphguy]

I love waypoints! And this addition is great, can’t wait to get my new m4p out, but…. The functionality is pale in comparison to the DRONELINK application.

[@edruttledge342]

Pretty good tutorial! But, I keep missing what you are doing to save a mission or to save changes to a mission. What are the key strokes/buttons used to save? Also - I do not get how to change the title of the mission - again I am trying to understand keystrokes/buttons used. Thanx.

[@TanyaHarveyCiampi]

I have a tricky question for you: say you wanted to fly along a straight line towards a church tower, once you reach the tower you want to be looking straight down at it, then you want to continue along that straight line but pointing back in the direction that you came from. This would mean that the drone will need to do a 180° turn. Does it decide on its own whether to turn clockwise or anticlockwise?

[@ramroddrone5449]

Dave Australia here. I really did not know you could do this with this Drone . I have a four-year-old DJI Mavic, 2 zoom fitted with Litchie. But it’s set up with my Samsung phone attached with cords attached which is a real pain to set up now after watching a video. Looks like I go out and get the best deal for a Dji mini 4 pro I really thank you so much for this video. One final question do you think the range on this Drone will be better than mavic 2 zoom?

[@davidmorrison3453]

Great video, clearly explained. One question though. If I run a waypoints mission, do I have the option to use vertical orientation? I need to create separate horizontal and vertical footage for a client. Would I be able to run the mission in landscape then run it again in portrait without creating two missions?

[@camperchris6639]

Good question

[@LAP1050]

Mattheww, excellent video and information, you spoil us.👍 Do you know if the waypoint feature calculates the flight time of the route to make sure you have enough battery life to RTH? Regards Lou from Miami 🇺🇸

[@TheDroneCreative]

Hey Lou! The waypoints feature does calculate the "duration" the route will take and display this before you start - however I am unsure if it makes sure you have enough battery life for the complete mission.

[@LAP1050]

Mattheww, thank you.

[@stefantrojer6135]

Top❤❤❤❤

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you!

[@worgle123]

They need to add AR to this. Would be sick, and effective.

[@lachlankren4231]

is there any way to make a POI a moving object like a vehicle?

[@morgansmuckymotors]

At the beginning of the video, on the map view, the icons down the right hand side, what is the bottom icon? The aeroplane ✈️

[@trickydownunder]

How can you set the drone to fly and face the way you set the course out? When I tried it ,the drone flow the course but the camera was not face front … ie was on course but flying sideways …

[@kimthesax]

Nice video, how do avoid the drone getting hot when it is on and on the ground?

[@Pahamopr]

Had same problem with heat warning message. Now whenever I'm doing some set up such as waypoints that could take some time I simply start the props turning which keeps the drone cool.

[@dgibbsfl]

When I am in Waypoint setup, when I do the two finger spread on the full screen map, it doesn't expand (enlarge, magnify). Any thoughts on why that is?

[@LegatDeClujLDC]

Can you set the zoom level in a waypoint? I am thinking at a dolly zoom use scenario.

[@johnbankston72]

Yes. He showed how in the video.

[@iraceu1980]

Hi how to fix that vision sensor, mine always said freed and backward unavailable

[@apexstarfly190]

Can you export the waypoints or import them?

[@sonesay]

Would be nice to be able to create/edit waypoints on the computer and then import them into the drone.

[@TrailEndeavour]

What is the top speed during Waypoints mode?

[@usandminime]

So can I set waypoints some km ‘s away (with lost signal) and let it finish its route and RTH? That would be so cool ! I can let it record and watch it later . Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@VeganLinked]

Good question

[@craig.gearhart]

Agreed! Good question

[@ramroddrone5449]

yes he said you select keep going with waypoint mission if lost signal ..Litchie program does this which I have on my DJI Mavic, two zoom

[@jaywalker1812]

I'm expecting this feature to produce many distance records. In theory yiu can send it to your mate's place, 20km away and have it auto land on his lawn. However my mate has dogs that chase drones and there are eagles on the way.

[@marcocentin4252]

Is it possible to program it to take multiple photos in between waypoints?

[@JeffreyJDavis]

I believe you need to have camera action "camera off" and then add new waypoint at same location with camera action "take picture" and then new waypoint at same location with camera action "camera on". The video segments and the photo shots are separate but are also controllable via waypoints.

[@ToniFalk4]

I’m trying to access the epidemic sound 30 day free trial, but the link only gives me the standard 7. Has it expired?

[@darrylrixonphotography]

Do you need to take off at exactly the same location/point for repeat waypoint missions to line up? or is GPS enough?

[@_marco_skiing]

GPS is enough

[@johnbankston72]

…not the same location BUT same approximate altitude. Per the manual on page 42, one of the things saved in the waypoint, in addition to GPS, is the “…altitude from the takeoff point”. Say for example your altitude is 10 feet from takeoff for the first waypoint. If you attempted to fly that saved waypoint in the future BUT took off 15 feet lower than where you tookoff when the waypoint was saved, it will fly to the same GPS point but abandon the waypoint mission when it attempts to lower itself to what is in essence, a -5 foot altitude, as in the ground. The obstacle avoidance kicks in, even in sport mode for waypoints.

[@johnbankston72]

@@_marco_skiing…not true. See my comment to OP.

[@darrylrixonphotography]

@@johnbankston72 that’s very helpful thank you very much can’t say I’ve seen any explanations on this in all of the various waypoint videos on YT.

[@sonesay]

Does the drone overheat if you are spending a long time setting up waypoints using the first method? Its a shame its not possible to just turn on the controller and set up your way points there without turning on the drone.

[@Cos_PB]

it indeed does appear to overheat.

[@PilotPepe21]

Is it that the map cant be zoomed in that much so it isnt as precise?

[@Darryl.M]

Will they make this available on the Mini 3 Pro?

[@johnbankston72]

Why would they? It’s a great way to compel MP3 owners to upgrade to MP4. I’m a real example. I upgraded primarily because of waypoints.

[@geoffwatson]

Warning that I can't add waypoint until aircraft is in flight? Can't you set this up without the aircraft being in flight?

[@max120m]

Hasn't anyone figured out yet how to add a new waypoint before/between existing waypoints? Just like with Mavic 2.

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

When the day comes when I can control the speed between the waypoints, camera tilt and angle, then I will be using it. How to synchronize the waypoint flight with a moving object like a racecar, boat, train?

[@johnbankston72]

Regarding your 1st sentence; at that level of desired customization, you’re essentially describing “flying”, in general. As to your question, you’re describing what the ActiveTrack functionality already provides.

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

@@johnbankston72 Really? Then I've missed the sync detail. Tracking exist, in different forms but is limited to a certan max distance, 50 meters or so. Any video showing that sync'ed waypoint?

[@sonesay]

@@Stefan_Boerjesson Active tracking does not work with waypoints

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

@@sonesay I know that.

[@johnbankston72]

While I love waypoints, my lone complaint is EVEN IN SPORT MODE, obstacle avoidance kicks in. I hope DJI corrects this via a firmware upgrade.

[@dgross2009]

And that is a problem why? I feel that DJI only included waypoints on this version mini since it now has substantial accident avoidance. Seems to me that is for obvious safety reasons.

[@johnbankston72]

@@dgross2009 It doesn't appear you realize non-waypoint flights, as in regular flights, have obstacle avoidance disabled while in Sport mode.

[@BIGNatureBoy]

It is a problem as the mission is aborted even if you have planned it carefully to come close but not strike objects. As soon as it detects an object you are done.@@dgross2009

[@graphguy]

Hopefully I am missing something, but....... It is ridiculous that when I open a pre-recorded waypoint mission that the map doesn't zoom into my mission, it opens up somewhere at 50,000 feet over Europe and then I have to zoom zoom zoom zoom to get to my actual mission.

[@angelo327able]

Have you tried using the DJI RC Motion 2 controller & the DJI Goggles INTEGRA with the DJI Mini 4? DJI responded: "stay tuned'.

[@MulhavenBushcraft]

Strangely enough I don't get the 'continue' sub option under global 'signal lost' menu option. Anybody else have same issue?

[@Cozydrone]

Question?how do I pull up a map at home,I cannot figure it out😢

[@TheDroneCreative]

Hey! Turn on the controller and drone, and then tap the map on the bottom left of the controller screen to expand it to full screen.

[@uptowndisco2]

Have you shown this video before it looks very familiar?

[@TheDroneCreative]

Uploaded it yesterday but there was a mistake so took it down, fixed the mistake and re-uploaded it.

[@andrewphillipsphotography3586]

Was the mistake leaving in the DJI RC rather than DJI RC 2? Sure this is the same footage as an older video…? Still a great video and tutorial

[@TheDroneCreative]

@@andrewphillipsphotography3586 yeah! That’s exactly right - well spotted! 😀

[@andrewphillipsphotography3586]

@@TheDroneCreative 😂 Original waypoints tutorial was great so no point re-filming as there is exactly the same functionality with the new Mini 4 Pro! Appreciate your attention to detail!

[@ibbsters6212]

Just did my first way point attempt . I made a way point mission. Set it up to record at start, and stop at end. It flew back to start point ready to go..I clicked go and it flew directly into a wall and I don't know why. I was si angry

[@mikejduk]

Ouch! If you're flying one of the DJI models that has the Obstacle avoidance Sensors, I would leave it turned on!

[@Jasonyhlee]

So sad... to all these functions while holding a mini 3 pro

[@terry_black]

Can you set the waypoints from in your home with the mini 3 pro like you are doing with mini 4 pro thanks in advance

[@spondyful]

Curious, why do most of you folks spend so much time creating waypoints using the map instead of flying and creating waypoints. It's much more precise to do it by flying the drone, why? Secondly, regarding creating a point of interest with point of interest while flying the drone. There is a dearth of info on this topic. Unfortunately, it does not function the same as the POI on the active track menu where the camera angle/pitch is automatically recorded. So how does one set the altitude of the POI flying with waypoints when the take off point is higher than the point of interest since the POI altitude only goes to "0"? Please explain further how function of the altitude setting. Thanks.

[@MJLCabral]

Is it possible to create a Mission waypoint in backoffice, for example on Google Maps, and then upload it to the DJI Mini 4 Pro?

[@danilotavares77]

Thank you
