My Mavic 3 Classic is being delivered tomorrow. I'm super excited for this feature! Thanks so much for the demonstration.
I’m glad that I could help, enjoy your Mavic 3 Classic 🚀 I’m sure that you’re going to be very happy with your new drone!
Do you mean DJI has finally made a proper Waypoint program! About time!
Yes indeed, it is about time. But what about their loyal customers who don't have the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Classic? I'm expecting a marketing decision that will make this available only on the DJI Fly app for Mavic 3 and later drones. First it was updated APIs being released a year or more after drone models were released. Now I won't be surprised if there are no more API releases for any drone.
Hmmm 🤔 I hope that the Mini 3 Pro and Air 2S gets waypoints but they might wait for the next Air model or whatever is coming in the future.
In short, and speaking about projecting a flight from "home", unless they modify many, many things, the waypoint module is completely inaccurate. Beginning with the maps the they should get quite a lot nearer the ground. i.e. A tower of a castle looks so little on the map..... apart from that the inaccuracy of creating waypoints with the finger.... totally unprecise..... my e-pencils do NOT work with the DJI RC PRO, so have to add points with the tip of my finger. And why the heck do I have to use the RC control for that? The lack of possibility to create waypoints on the laptop would also simplify things. Nothing difficult... if Dronelink and litchi can do it, why not DJI. If they want to improve, there should be more firmwares to come!! Any ideas coming from anyone will be welcome
DJI have added waypoints officially to the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Classic. They are AWESOME. Check out my recent content for some dedicated waypoint videos.
I totally agree with you. Another thing I miss: the option of setting Waypoints by introducing the coordinates rather than with the finger. This is especially useful if you want to set a Waypoint on the sea, as the map is not showing any reference landmarks on the water.
You're right...some time has passed since that waypoint firmware and we have no news to refine this option through another firmware...
Definitely the Best Home Setting up of WayPonits! Thank, Buddy!
No worries! Thanks for watching 👀
Great video Dan
.
Thank you!!
Cool video! I like how you recorded yourself with the Mavic 3 camera showing the button taps while you were doing it. Good work, thank you!
I will have to do more tutorials like this. Thanks for watching!
great tutorial Dan luv this new feature
Same here! Thanks for watching 👀
Way smoother than 3rd party waypoints? How about a side-by-side comparison with Litchi and Dronelink waypoints so we can compare the results.
Great idea 💡 I was planning on doing this over the coming weeks, stay tuned 👀
Tried a quick mission earlier today, worked great! I wonder if it's possible to download the KML file so you can view it in Google Earth?
That was my thought. I hope that this will be possible in the future to make "offline" waypoints much safer.
I hope that they add more functionality. I’m impressed by the waypoints mode so far.
Excellent. I noticed you set this at 4K 60 fps.
Yes! Such an awesome feature and this drone captures epic photos/videos. 4K 60fps looks great.
Finally let’s goooooo
How exciting!
Thanks
Thanks for watching 👀
Great video Dan. Excellent Intro & tutorial on the new update. I had the 3DR Solo back in 2016 that could do waypoints, & I've been patiently waiting for DJI to release this feature. It looks awesome & I can't wait for the rain to stop so I can test it out. Once again Cheers for the video mate 👍
Awesome! I’m glad that they have released waypoints, I’ll be doing another waypoints video soon. Let me know your thoughts when you get a chance to test waypoints 📍
Very Cool.
Thank you for watching!
I prefer to go out and fly the drone and set the Weigh points as I go from the first to the last so I can see what height and direction the drone can fly without it crashing into anything.
Good plan, that is a great way to plan out waypoint missions.
Cheers so much Dan, another very helpful plus easy to follow tutorial! 👍🙂
That is great to hear, I was hoping that this video would be helpful for people.
Hey Dan. Thanks heaps for showing us this, looks like DJI have exceeded my expectations. I'm keen to try it out as the hyperlapse was doing my head in
Definitely Jason! The new waypoints mode is fantastic 📍
Another great tutorial Dan. I tried the waypoint function today and it worked beautifully both "on the fly" planning and pre-planning at home. I am amazed at the smoothness of its yaw function of the POI orbits etc.... None of the jerkiness I frequently experience with Litchi when using my Air2S. Top marks DJI!
Agreed! I’m going to do a comparison between DJI’s waypoints and Litchi’s waypoints in the coming weeks.
Quick note: The AUTO option for the camera zoom function needs further clarification. The latest DJI manual (V2.0) is also ambiguous
Does the drone have to be powered up to plan a waypoint trip on the controller with offline maps?
No you can plan your waypoint trip without the drone being powered up. This makes this a very friendly to use upgrade.
I’m loving this new feature, you can plan a mission independently on the controller. I will be doing more waypoint videos on my channel over the coming weeks.
Great well recorded tutorial Dan. You explain it clearly, well-understood and structured which of course is very important for someone like me who just bought the M3 classic and needs to learn the 'Waypoints' because after all my Mini 3 Pro does not know this feature. I even downloaded this video for later offline use. Thanks and keep it up, regards from the Netherlands, Ronald
I’m glad that I could help. Thank you for watching and commenting, I really do appreciate it. If you need anymore drone guidance then my drone course has everything that you’ll need to know: www.fearlessdrone.academy
Great tutorial, thank you for your time .❤
No worries at all! Thank you for your time ⏰
nice..i can use this on mavic 3 pro..
Yes 🙌
Thank you very well done man
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the explanation. Can you record in Dlog and manually adjust aperture and speed when using Waypoints?
Good question, I don’t believe that we have that type of control at the moment.
How are things?!wow~unusual view~😎
Thanks for the support 🤝
@5:30 when you tapped 'apply to all' you say that nothing changed. In fact, you had just adjusted the altitude to 30m and when you tapped 'apply to all' the first time, the altitudes for all of the waypoints were changed to 30m. Then you changed the heading & tilt of waypoint 1 to POI and tapped 'apply to all' again which then updated the heading & gimbal tilt to POI for all waypoints.
Thank you for clarifying, I appreciate your support on my videos!
Thanks a lot. Have you tested the zoom setting per waypoint? Can you set the zoom level to 7 times so the mavic 3 telelens is used at a certain waypoint?
I have not tested that, I’ll have to look into it 👀
Thanks for trying that out.
Sometimes I find it little hard to follow as one cannot see where you click on the screen / within the Dji Fly app (Recognized this in your other videos as well)
But overall nice tutorial, thanks for sharing
Thanks for the advice, I will improve this in future videos.
Wow great great! If only DJI could add Quick shot action at a certain waypoint! Eg a dronie at waypoint 3....a circle at waypoint 5.
Yes! Love this idea, they might do that in the future 🤞
Any tests done for the alternative that the radio signal is lost and the selected option is CONTINUE?
Knowing people would test that in a more safe way then a beginner......
I haven’t tested this 😧
@@DansTubeTV Flying out of sight is likely prohibited. Usually the sight is lost long before the radio link is lost..... Flying behind visual sight blocking stuff.....
first of all, all man thank you so much. Very very good/great tutorial my question is, is optical avoidance still active when using Waypoints especially if I first set it up in my home like you did in go to test it and did not realize something was in its way. Would it attempt to avoid it or with a crash
Yes, it would try to avoid it but it also might stop the mission. I’ll have to test this further.
@@DansTubeTV WOW!! FAST :) thank you test would be greatly appreciated. I bought the S2 and returning it today because it doesn't have sideways avoidance detection and I really like the waypoints. Certainly would like it to do something other than crash. I don't care what it is. I can then adjust the waypoints later I just may not be able to run it right away. I'm wanting the way points to document a construction site my new home
For testing or if you know, any of the other modes that are automatic, such as fly out and take a picture and then fly back or spinning around someone, I don't know what the modes are called still new at this, and during the flight would it avoid objects?
The QuickShot modes will try to avoid obstacles. I would always suggest keeping an eye on your drone and flying nowhere near people or properties, especially with these automated modes.
@@DansTubeTV thank you again so much, how I’m gonna be using. This is strictly documenting my personal home being built on a very wide open piece of land, there are some trees around and just concerned sometimes, I do the spiral that it will sideways fly into a tree or something, I would rather not test this :-) I would rather know it works yet I’m not looking for a guarantee at all I know they don’t exist other than death
Dan- I am just finding you on here but really impressed by the production and diversity you offer! My interest in this message is to see if you would consider making a video on the waypoints setting for the RC Pro remote when using the new Mavic 3 Enterprise drone. There are many video options for the waypoints setting used in the Mavic 3 Classic and Cine models but nothing on the Enterprise series. Unfortunately, the waypoints shown in the remote for the E series does not match the look on the standard Mavic 3 models…i.e. no squiggly icon on the flight view screen, nothing showing POI settings and other features you are showing here for the standard Mavic 3. Maybe it is not possible to use waypoints as fluidly with the E series as it is with the standard models. I do hope this is not the case. Thanks so much for your time here, even if only to tell me I am out of luck. Cheers!
Hey Chris, thanks for watching! I appreciate your comment 😁 I do not own the E series unfortunately so I can’t comment.
What happens if I made a mistake for example : setup with lower Altitude than Building height ,
The obstacle avoidance should detect it but to be safe, make sure that you scope out the area and set the height well above buildings, mountains and trees 🌳
Great vid. Could you tell me if you can set up the way points at home without the drone being turned on?
Yes you can.
@@shb7772000if maybe not with the standard N1 controller? Won't let me get to the fly screen.
@@tja929 I have the standard controller. You don't even need the controller. Just the device alone.
@@shb7772000if very strange. I cannot get past the load up stage of the app. Where the connection guide button does not change to the go fly button? What am I missing?
@@tja929 you're not gonna get the go fly button unless your connected to the drone. Just hit connections then camera view.
Hi DansTube, On my Smart Controller screen there is a shortcut "WayPonts" which is located on the left side of the screen above the RTH button. Can that button be removed or changed and how do I do that. I have a DJI Mavic 3 Classic.
No, that icon will just sit there indefinitely.
Can you create waypoints for the M3 using Google Earth on a PC
I don’t believe so, I think you have to use their interface through the DJI Fly app.
How did you put the start pin on the map ?
I just tapped on the map. It does not serve any functional purpose, it is just a visual reference for people watching the video.
Great video!
On my Mavic 3 Classic with Dji RC the waypoints are not connected with the line. The line doesn't appear. The Poi point doesn't show on the screen. It is placed but doesn’t show. I guess it is the software on the Dji RC because you used it with an iPhone as I see. Somebody else has the same issues? Do you have any solution proposal?
I had the same issue as well but I thought it might be something that I did wrong. Hopefully a new update will fix this.
I too got Mavic 3 classic and on the mobile screen using with normal RC I don't see the way point icon. I have latest firmware and updated RC version. Not sure what is wrong can't seem to find the solution anywhere.
How does waypoints comparison to eg litchi or dronelink?
That will be one of my upcoming videos.
Dan, can this be done on a computer first then load to the drone like Litchi yet ? Thanks.
Not yet, hopefully in the future.
Why doesn't my mavic 3 have waypoint mode? Help me Please! Thanks
It should! Make sure that the drone is up to date.
how can i stop the map from moving when i want to move a waypoint on my mavic 3 cine controller also is there software so i can hook up the controller to my computer and do it on there thanks im Pete
Press and hold on the waypoint before you drag your finger on the screen. It can be a little fiddly. There is no software for our desktops yet, that would be cool. You can use Dronelink. Check out my videos on my channel for Dronelink and Litchi.
Can anybody help?? I was told by DJI phone support that there is no way to transfer waypoint path files from one RC/Drone to another one. This is extremely important if I am to use this feature for any serious projects or client assignments. I cannot rely on a multi-year waypoint mission if there is a chance the RC/drone is lost, stolen, or broken. Not to mention, it would help if you had a partner that could return to the jobsite with their drone to fly the same path when you can't be there. Has anybody done this successfully?
No, they have not made this feature available yet. It seems like an oversight.
I updated mine but there’s no ways points icon
There should be. It is available on the left side of the flight screen.
Question: once a mission has been planned and saved, can it's parameters be modified or must the whole entire mission be remapped?
I've been able to modify my fight plans multiple times and re saved after initially creating them.
You can modify the mission at any point. It is easy to update parameters.
I have recently set up a number of waypoint ‘missions’ on my Mavic 3 Pro which work well. However on occasions if I select ‘Go’ before powering up the drone it will power up itself and fly to the first waypoint. On other occasions it will only fly up to a few metres before updating the home point and continuing to hover until another ‘Go’ command is entered.
Why is this please?
I have never heard of this before. This does not sound safe?
@@DansTubeTV i suppose allowing the drone to fly to any waypoint autonomously might not be considered safe? Letting it start its journey automatically would be any less safe surely?
I don’t know how they assess these risks and make a decision. It is an interesting conversation.
You failed to mention a very important point… The Drone MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROLLER!!!
Yes, isn’t that obvious though? I’m planning waypoints on the controller while it is connected to the drone in this video.
That is not true you can make a waypoint mission with out being connected to the drone he didn't fail you can do it on any Mavic 3 series you can also do it using the N1 controller
IN THE FUTURE WE DON'T NEED A DAMN WAR ON ROBOTS BRING SIFI TO REAL LIFE AND IAM AFRAID THAT IS THE WAY WE ARE GOING
I hope not 😱
Your caps lock has jammed...
DUDE WHAT IAM AFRAID OF IS THESE FLYING ROBOTS BECOME SELF AWARE THEN WHAT TERMINATOR
I hope not 😳
Check Your caps lock!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤✅
Thanks for watching! 👀
Ok so who the hell uses meters per second. What a dumb way to measure speed.
Totally agree!
That is DJI’s default measurement on their website and apparently this new feature. I had my settings in KPH but it did not update for me.
Thanks a lot. Have you tested the zoom setting per waypoint? Can you set the zoom level to 7 times so the mavic 3 telelens is used at a certain waypoint?
I haven’t tested that or looked into it. I need to revisit the waypoint feature - it has a lot of potential.
