DJI Mini 4 Pro HyperLapse Waypoint Flight

[@johnnyfontechanic7556]

A+ plus good job w/hyperlapse.

[@georgekelly1948]

Your hyperlapse turned out great, Marcus. A waypoint hyperlapse is on my flight plan for tomorrow. Cheers, buddy.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you George! HyperLapse missions are great fun!

[@waynegreene6405]

Another beaut video mate, well done Marcus. .

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Wayne, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@KUMARUJJWALSINGH]

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! It is such a versitile little drone!

[@koldourrutia]

Excelent Marcus 👏👏

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much!

[@shsechas]

I have the M3 with the RC, but stopping by with support and a thumbs up! Nice going Marcus. Thanks buddy for all the videos.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! I need to get my Mini 3 Pro out for a flight one of these days.

[@BobCaseyAerial]

Well Done Marcus. Well done

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you very much Bob!

Great presentation of the Mini 4 hyperlapse. Love seeing my favorite drone featured

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It's a versitile little drone Ryan! Thank you!

[@TheGrobbo1956]

Thanks Marcus, great video

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I'm glad you liked it! Thank you!

[@BlairAir]

Hey Marcus, on the point you brought up about battery power needed to complete a waypoint (and several other Hyperlapse types) -if you get over-zealous and try for too many WP's or too much distance or time, the drone will offer a popup at some point and attempt to warn you off. I think the wording is along the lines of "There may not be enough battery energy to complete this mission. Are you sure you wish to proceed? That's a bit redundant, but a good reminder when we push it a bit far. Of course there is always "run it in reverse" or "land and start with a fresh battery - but these fly so long with plus batteries, that's no longer required. GREAT FLIGHT!!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

That is good to know John! Thank you my friend!

[@peterpaul1675]

Hallo Marcus, it is a great Video. Many thanks and greetings from Germany 👌 👍 Yours Peter 🍻

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

It is absolutely my pleasure Peter! Thank you!

[@Cozydrone]

That was awesome!! I am doing that tomorrow on my dji air 3.🤗

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! The process is the same with your Air 3. Have fun!

[@Cozydrone]

You are very good at getting the information out for all of us newbies🤗

[@MarioNappa]

Thank you. Heading to Alaska and I want to use some of these features of the Mini 4 Pro.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Mario! Enjoy Alaska, you'll get some great shots!.

[@Harvey87774]

Real nice video tutorial vid at that, looks like I need a mini4 asap.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

C'mon Harvey, go big. Get the Air 3! 😎

[@KUMARUJJWALSINGH]

Nice one man!!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@joeamericauavfordav1096]

Marcus, Absolutely great Hyperlapse. Ive been flying for a long time now but Hyperlapse is something I have not played around with. Most of my flights are in rural areas so unless a Deer or a Cow moves there would not be a lot of action. Great job and thanks for sharing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes, movment is what makes a hyperlapse interesting. Thank you Joe.

[@larryhammelman3424]

Another nice video Marcus. I always learn something new from your vids. Keep up the good work!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, the little Mini 4 does a pretty good HyperLapse! 👍

[@delzane]

Excellent work! Thanks for the heads-up demo of the Hyperlapse functionality. I'll definitely be using it on Maui this coming January. As always, your videos continue to be quite informative. Thanks for sharing this one!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Hyperlapse missions are great fun Del! I'm jealous of your trip to Maui!

[@RonaldBrown59]

Nice hyperlapse, you plenty of movement in the video to keep it interesting. Great tutorial, and thanks for sharing Marcus.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I appreciate that Ron!

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

Nice fly 😎

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Jesus!

[@BIGGUY401]

Pretty awesome hyperlapse video.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.

[@skycam509]

Thanks for the great tutorial. I love your channel and am a subscriber, but I'll be honest - I skip a lot of your videos because I don't usually have time for a 30 minute plus video. I'm wondering if there are others like me who might watch more if they were shorter like this one. BTW, we're kind of neighbors. I'm over here in Eastern Washington in the 509. Thanks again!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Oh very cool, Tri Cities maybe? Thank you for your kind words.

[@BlairAir]

DJI Mini 4 Pro Hyperapse Waypoint Flight? See - I can read, lol! Good to see you out showing folks how to use the features they were so excited about when buying their drone, but then got frustrated when they couldn't make it all work. Well, fear not drone-noobs (and Nooberettes!). Welcome to the camp, I guess you all know why we're here. My name is Johnny, and I became aware this year. If you want to hyperlapse, you'vr got to set wayoints. Here comes Uncle Marcus to guide you to, your very own machine!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Ha! 🤣😂 Open the pod bay door please HAL.

Hi Marcus. Another out standing flight of the Mini 4 Pro. Would love to get one some day. Say, next time your out at the Canyon with the Air 3. I heard of that the max descent speed is slower going down in a negative altitude below the home point than it is coming down from a positive altitude from above the home point. Not sure if it's just the Air 3 or all DJI drones for that matter. Just a something new to try thing.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

I've noticed a few anomolies while in negative altitude. In some situations it will not decend at all unless you stop forward movement.

[@gillesjanvier915]

Good job

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you!

[@cliveharrison7934]

Hi Marcus yes a very nice Hyperlapse waypoint flight 👍 it looks very flat in that area you were flying and when you watch the Hyperlapse back it’s amazing how much movement there is on screen I’m watching this video on December 1st so have a happy Christmas 🎄 and a happy new year 🥳 too you and your family keep up the good work in 2024 👌how time flys by………🇬🇧

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Clive! We had our first big snowstorm of the season today.

[@shotgun4257]

Awesome as always! I do have a video request… How about a comparison between the DJI Mavic 3 and Air 3? Or just a Video with your Mavic 3… Haven’t seen much of that one from ya

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

There are more videos with both of those drones on the way! Thank you!

[@arifsezer17]

İ have got the same drone, but my hyperlaps doesnt work, after 3rd shoot , it goes black.. anybody know why?

[@BrianKushner]

Thanks for the video. Can you run the waypoints in reverse so you don't need to return to starting point to begin?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you! You sure can Brian. It gives you that option.

[@1badm3]

Please do instructional videos on dolly zoom / Vertigo effect for Mini 4 Pro. TIA!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

There is not automated Dolly Zoom on the Mini 4 Pro. It can be done manually, but it takes a steady hand. 🙂

[@patrickwilliams6464]

@@IdahoQuadcopterthere is a way to do that by setting the different zoom from one waypoint to the next as the drone is going backwards.

[@sideburn]

They need to make them editable once you drop them on the map. Hope they do.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Good call. 👍

[@FredHarvey-wp2qy]

Hyperlapse is one of my favorite features. You could have saved those waypoints to a file and flown that same path at different times or on different days. One thing I noticed is that you set the video mode at 30 FPS, but the drone took the hyperlapse at 25 FPS! A 20 second video at 25 FPS means it has to take 20 X 25 = 500 photos. With a 2 second time between photos, that is 1000 seconds, or 16 minutes and 40 seconds. If it was recording at 30 FPS, it would have had to take 600 pictures and it would have taken 20 minutes to complete. Did the Mini 4 automatically make the change? My Air 2S has a setting in the pop up hyperlapse menu to set the frame rate. I've never done a waypoint mission, so I'm not sure what shows up on my bird. Your videos are always the best!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you Fred. Yes, the HyperLapse file shows 25 fps, and the over all video was rendered to 29.97 fps.

[@rond3933]

Marcus, would you please do a hyper lapse in this same area when it's dark? I'd love to see that.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Thank you, I need to try that.

[@carlosjairmirandasierra7498]

Hi, does the hyperlapse can be paused to switch battery?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

No it cannot. However, the Mini 4 has quite a long flight time.

[@fabianoperes2155]

Can you just set the waypoints and save if for later?

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Yes you can.

[@fabianoperes2155]

@@IdahoQuadcopter Can you make a tutorial on that? Cause I did it, did not run the waypoints and could not find the option to save it. Only after I run it, the option was on.
