DJI mini 4 Pro - Level up your footage with Waypoints! - From beginner to Pro!

Wow, man that was awesome! These waypoints can even make me look like I know what I'm doing... lol Very cool flights, brother...

Excellent job! You're really helping me learn this waypoint thing. I love how you can set the point of interest and then set all the waypoints to look at it. Thanks for a good learning video. Beautiful scenery, by the way. Marc T.

Everyone that owns any of the waypoints capable drones owe it to themselves to at least understand the fundamentals of creating a waypoints mission and practice creating them for the experience. I for one found the touch screen to be a challenge when trying to make inputs and changes to the myriad of parameters. Maybe my layer of screen protector is the culprit or just my cruddy finger tips that’s making it difficult but when I do finally get it right the results are so satisfying. Thanks Nobby for the many tips you’ve shared👍👍🙂

[@nobby-green]

Hey Phillip thanks for the comment. I don’t usually have a problem with the screen method but I suppose that the type of screen protector could play a part. Mine doesn’t. It is a great feature and glad you find the videos useful 👍 thanks 🙏

[@olabergvall3154]

To be fair, the RC2's screen isn't very responsive. Especially when it's cold out (cold fingers, dry skin).

[@nobby-green]

Hi Nobby , this is David near Llangollen North Wales , God bless you for making this look so easy , I must with one of these I am an absolute beginner with these ever so complicated looking small little drones. Where would ou try this out first , like in some big field somwhere ? I would shoot the pontcysylte aquaduct right close to me ,ha ha ! but I think first a safe plan!

Fantastic footage amazing wish my mini 3 was compatible with waypoints is there any hope for the mini 3 ?

[@nobby-green]

Thanks 🙏 the only way you can do it on the mini 3 pro is to use a third party app like Maven or litchi. They won’t bring it in for the 3 because of the lack of sensors 👍

[@dhoser9296]

Very nice. Have one question. If you start a waypoint mission and the aircraft loses connectivity will it finish the mission or abort it and return home?

[@nobby-green]

Here in the uk we have to option to tell it to complete the mission. This option is not available in Europe unfortunately . Hope that helps 👍

[@bertschoofs8494]

Nice informative video; thanks for posting. I recently bought the Mini 4 Pro. At 1"53" at the "On signal lost"-setting, you mention and use the option "Continue". I don't see (in the Netherlands) that option on my controller. Maybe it is region dependent?

[@nobby-green]

That’s odd are you sure you are in the global settings? Thanks 🙏

[@bertschoofs8494]

@@nobby-green Yes I'm in the global settings. I found another post (from MK - Creator: "DJI Mini 4 Pro - Waypoint Tutorial - START HERE!" at 8'53") that doesn't show the "continue" option as well. Strange, indeed; I have to find out, because continue seems a very usefull option for me too.

[@nobby-green]

@@bertschoofs8494 I’m not quite sure what’s here. The manual clearly states on page 41 you can select on signal loss. Might be worth contacting DJI for their opinion. Unless it’s location based?

@@nobby-green Sorry, I should have read better first. Yes, my manual gives the comment: the "continue" option is not available in the EU. Thanks for your help!

[@rogaunttable]

Something I'm wondering about is if when the drone is flying from one way point to the next, does the drone gradually interpolate the instructions (such as altitude or gimble) between points or hold those instructions fixed until the next waypoint is reached?

[@nobby-green]

Yes it gradually drops or raises to the next waypoint 👍

[@theDRONEguytv]

Quick question buddy, have you managed to find the 360 degree bottom in pictures ?? I see the 180 etc but not 360 any help ??

@@nobby-green hi buddy yeh all sorted now just having one of those days, thanks for getting back.

[@riverbankfisher]

It is alarming that satellite imagery is NOT made available when these DJI waypoints are being plotted. These waypoints are plotted on a map view that won't have any information about trees, power lines, cellphone towers, and other obstacles that -are clearly visible to the trained eye on the satellite imagery used by the likes of Litchi for their waypoint planning view. Unless the option to toggle between map view and satellite view imagery is available with this DJI waypoint creation facility, it cannot compare with Litchi whose high-resolution satellite imagery allows waypoint flight plans to be plotted with great precision around and over all obstacles. I am thinking of buying a used Mavic Air 3, but I will likely use a Litchi to DJI waypoint converter instead of this native DJI waypoint mission creator. Great video all the same, sir, and very informative.

[@nobby-green]

@@riverbankfisher with DJI waypoints you do have to make sure you are clear of everything before you fly. That’s the only downside 👍 however you can get some great results thanks 🙏

[@briandeines5019]

Can the mini 3 pro do the same? I have a mini 4 pro and gave my buddy my pro 3. I want to share this with him if it will work

[@nobby-green]

The mini 3 pro doesn’t have waypoints I’m afraid but when DJI fully release the full sdk then the third party apps will cover it 👍

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

Surely an engaging video. Using waypoints it's possible, but illegal, to fly beyond "line of sight". It's even possible to fly outside the radio range. However, "find my drone" will be out of the picture. Programming computers for 50 years, programming the drone doesn't feel interesting, at least not for a Mavic 3 pro.

[@nobby-green]

Waypoints are not illegal 🤷‍♂️ and I had visual line on sight 🤷‍♂️ but I guess it’s possible for those that want to do it 👍

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

@@nobby-green Yes, Your flight was surely according to the regulations. However, sitting in the armchair, dreaming and plotting waypoints I suppose it's easy to go too far away.

@@Stefan_Boerjesson possibly but the waypoint tells you the distance 👍

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

@@nobby-green Aha, it does. Didn't note that when creating a waypoint mission, sitting in the armchair. (Never used it as it was all over water with surrounding forested mountains.) But... Does that ensure "in line of sight"? Uh.......

Because you have no complete SEO for any videos, no channel tags, and no video tags, if you SEO your videos, your subscribers and views will increase, and your channel will grow.
