How to Use the Waypoint Hyperlapse Mode on DJI Mavic Air 2

[@xavier_arthur]

I forgot to mention: Do the reverse sequence first, then normal sequence after to save even more battery life ;) Check out DJI Mavic Air 2 Tax-Free & Free Shipping: click.dji.com/ACrjz48X9VHKeWMGPzH72A?pm=link Happy Flying

[@GibStud]

Xavier quick question... This tax free ordering from DJI...how do you get it. Both times I’ve ordered items I get taxed. Am I overlooking something? My MA2 tax was $80 😐

[@xavier_arthur]

If you're in a state where DJI has a location example California, they will tax you :( And States here like New York, where DJI does not have a base, it's tax-free!

[@maremike2691]

@@GibStud You can be glad, that you do not live in Germany. If we buy the MA2, we get 180$ taxed

[@wilsonrivera9109]

Hi my friend! I did my hyperlapse, but the day one it was 8 second but the one at night was only 5 second. why it that happened it suppose to be both 8 second right??

[@maremike2691]

@@wilsonrivera9109 Did you save the day-hyperlapse? And used the save at night? If not maybe you just chose different settings.

Great video. Great work. Please be careful flying from inside a fully closed vehicle. One low flying helicopter in such an urban location could be deathly disastrous for a pilot, crew, and dozens of people on the street. Without being able to keep an eye on the area surrounding the drone and being able to listen for other aircraft, the response time is very short if any. I was quite nervous for the safety of the operation, but your result for the demo was great. Keep on creating. Thanks for the demo. Love you man.

[@Rohol64]

Never watched a video on youtube so many times. And shared it to other channels...PLEASE post more step by step flights MA2 with all the manual camera settings and filters applied in every situation and occasion. Overlapped hyperlapse day and night is fantastic. Your enthusiasm is contagious man !!!

[@deeplyyoung]

Just wow... Wow... I think I don't need to watch any other channel to become a good drone flyer... You are really good in explaining small small things...

[@alfredallen2158]

My first reaction to droneXfactor was 'Is this a bit'? As I listened, I saw it was real. Translating NYC neighborhood speak to an 80 year old living in the Idaho Panhandle was a challenge. Once I recognized the value of the tutorials, I subscribed. I live in the Idaho Palouse. I just bought the Magic Air 2. The Palouse is world famous for its unique photo opportunity’s. These tutorials will broaden my range of photo experiences.

[@ManoloFloyd]

Great video. What's the purpose of marking the cross? Can't the drone find the route by itself? Also is the program saved in the drone or in the phone?

[@Thor57644]

Great job. You make it look so easy but as soon as I try it it's a different story. Thanks for the lesson!

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

I love your enthusiasm for drones in your videos. You got a new sub!

The rob ross of drones. Like the enthusiasm and passion. Waiting for my first drone. The magic zoom 2.

[@rickmelcher6845]

You just gained a subscriber. Thanks for making hyperlapse look so easy to perform. The painted “X” is a good idea, but sometimes I’m on grass. So I use the compass app on my iPhone. Then you have the exact coordinates..so then I take a screenshot shot & save it for another time. I took pics & video of a new YMCA over a 18 month period using this technique.

[@fwfeo]

Great tutorial! The one thing I noticed with the fade transition is that you need more overlap to make sure it fades where you intended to do the switch. maybe a couple seconds extra on each of the day and night clips required to have the perfect fade transition.

[@ErfanTabarak]

Awesome tutorial ❤️

Awesome, I had no idea that the hyper lapse was so complex. The editing is amazing. Best tutorial on KZbin or anywhere else.

[@brucejohnson1115]

He captain awesome in my book. He.a artist 4 sure

[@Franky_1974]

Great! This looks really nice! But I have two questions: is it important to start exactly from the same point when I do the second clip? Or do the drone don`t find the first waypoint if I start from a different location? Maybe it is not possible to mark the starting point or find the exact position again (without spray). I think this idea with the waypoints is also interesting to use at different weather conditions (summer/fall/winter/spring) etc. What kind of light do you have on top of your Mavic Air 2?

[@kristof007]

The drone flies to starting point (or ending point if you are doing it in reverse). If you are talking about the actual clips, it's easier to line it up on a computer with a multitrack video editor since both clips will be 10 seconds (or whatever you set it to) so you can cut with precision.

[@jamesdunkin6221]

After having the MA2 since it was released back in May, I thought I had tried all of it's features. Until I noticed the Waypoint feature under Hyperlapse. Figured I better YT it b4 I tried it. You covered all the bases perfectly. I also never realized DJI's editing program was worth much, but I will definitely give it a shot as well. Good bit of knowledge, well done.

Hi! Thanks for the fantastic Waypoint Hyperlapse Mode on DJI Mavic Air 2. It's a pity that Mavic Air 2 don't have the DJI Mavic 2 Waypoints 2.0 that is much better program. Can we use the DJI Mavic 2 Waypoints 2.0 for the Mavic Air 2?

[@xavier_arthur]

When you say better, better how? Please elaborate how it's better

[@octaviodasilva9780]

@@xavier_arthur Yes we can pre-program the trajectory and the altitude easier to do Mapping with Mavic Air 2 we are very much restricted no free movement making things difficult eg. Mapping in Waypoint Mission Planner in the Autel. What's a fantastic Free Tool for EVO II Series. If you want to do that with DJI! Mavic Air 2 is very much restricted. DJI offers you alternative's at a High costs. Restrictions in my books can be seen as evil for one goal in mind.

I hear you. EVO may have these features for free but Evo isn't $799, the 8K EVO is $1495! If you purshase droneLink for $40 you can have these features and more on the Air 2 soon! It's in beta now so expect it to release soon. This is much more cost effective! Happy Flying 😎

[@madangel9691]

I've always thought of this exact concept. So nice to see it implemented no all we need is a speaker to be able to deter birds. And also way points for photography too. That way we can shoot FANTASTIC PHOTOS FROM SAME LOCATION EVERY SINGLE TIME. 📷

You are wonderful at teaching and getting your points across about why you tell us to do these different techniques and shots. You do an awesome job and I go to your channel for everything mavic air 2. I bought the Autel Evo 2 8k a few months ago and after that latest update on the mavic air 2 and watching the stuff you have been doing with it I just had to have it. Both the Evo 2 and Air 2 have have different strong points. I know the comparison is usually the mavic 2 pro and Evo 2 but after that latest firmware update on the air 2 im blown away. Ability to zoom on the gimbal wheel with function button and zoom tracking ability just to name a few. Amazing! Im sure Autel will put out a new firmware update any time now. Anyway, thanks for all the really great videos on how to get the most out of this drone. I will keep watching. Happy flying, be safe.

[@SteveMartinUSA]

Can you edit a route stored in the Task Library, such as moving a waypoint or changing the camera angle, or would you have to shoot the route over from scratch if you wanted to make such a change? I love your channel and your enthusiasm for this technology. I really liked your parallax tutorial!

[@xavier_arthur]

Thanks Steve, If I remember correctly, you can edit whether it's shot in forward or reserve but I don't think you can change around the waypoints or camera angle without starting fresh 🙁 Thanks for reaching out Happy Flying 😎

Great work again! Does the point of the second flight have to be exactly the same as the first flight? Or is the second flight also possible from a place close to the departure point of the first flight? It may of course be the case that on the second flight you cannot take off exactly from the same point as the first.

[@Mikaflyd]

I keep revisiting this video, because i learn so much from it. I had forgot that we can save waypoints. Wish we could set it to take a pic at a certain waypoint location. Question: is there a way to get it to start the hyper laps recording when it hits a certain waypoint? If it can and i missed it, forgive me.

Great information thanks for this! I do have one other question though? How are you able to fly around that area? I can see your able to get a LAANC clearance from the KLGA. And it appears in the video you stay just north of the permanent class B restricted SFRA over the water. What kind of authorization do you have to get though to operate inside the City limits. And how do you go about obtaining it?

[@elmono3939]

Cool. Let me ask this. How precise is that Waypoint ? Ok, so lets say - if I take the drone and very carefully fly it though my house - or maybe even hold it in my hand and walk with it - through doors and windows, under the table, etc - and mark each point where I want the drone to fly and save the flight data as usual. Then retrieve the flight route / data from saved memory and fly it again - this time at higher speed. Will it fly through doors, windows, under table etc ? Hope it makes sense :) . Thanks !

[@BastardSquad]

Brilliant.. thanks for posting this tutorial.. Very easy to follow and imformative.

[@1975supermike]

So just so I'm right once you're in the same area you just tell it to fly the same path and the drone will do the rest ?. E.g adjust high location e.t.c ? Cheers

Quick question: did you have to go through and set each of the waypoints at night again or can the drone recognize the waypoints you created from the day? Very helpful video!

[@billmeador215]

Tried my first hyperlapse today.........your video was extremely helpful and the Air 2 flew the path.......but I must be missing something..............after it got to the second way point, all the images captured after that had the camera pointing in the wrong direction...........do I need to fly to a point, set it, rotate the craft and set another point before moving to the next location? To explain, I set a waypoint right above me, then flew straight west for 200 feet, stopped and set a waypoint, then turned and flew north for 200 feet, stopped and set the third point. But in the recording, the camera is still pointing west as the craft flew north from the second to the third point. Your advise would be greatly appreciated!
