Well done - THANKS! Beautiful. Where does the map come from? That is, how do I preload the map to the controlling app before I go to fly in a remote location? I had a DJI a while back and it allows caching of the Google map at home before a planned outing (you could just save a portion of Google Maps over WiFi or do it inside the Go app - with whatever service they use - and it gets cached there), so you can use a non-phone enabled WiFi tablet with GPS enabled. I just checked and that still works perfectly, but I want to get this wonderful Atom. Thanks again.
Before you arrive at a place, connect the drone and controller, tap the map at the lower left corner and move the map around. In this way, the app may record the map. Or, make sure you have Internet access right before you fly your drone in the field.
@@ckshene7212Perfect - Thanks! I believe I may have asked the question in a confusing way on some other sites, but YOU nailed the answer. Off-location "Caching" or storing the map area is indeed what I was looking for, so I am getting the little Atom right away! Thanks so much.
I too saw your point 4:22, though I was hoping that you or someone actually were able to store a Waypoint flight (settings) and then be able to show us how to recall those Waypoint settings....maybe a list shows up or something. But I've tried on my new Atom and it will fly the Waypoints, Very Cool, but when I hit the store button (as you show) nothing is displayed. Then when you hit the list button (next to the store button) nothing is displayed...pretty much like nothing is storing or able to recall a list of stored Waypoint flights. Maybe they are working on this feature??? Can anyone respond w/ any useful thoughts on this?
At 4:22 you show how the waypoints can be saved and I have tested being able to re-fly a past waypoint mission using these features. If anyone can find where this file that stores the waypoints is located I am all ears as it would bring up powerful possibilities by editing this file manually. Possible uses would be flying outside 500 meters or automated mapping projects. I am very happy with my Atom!
As a matter of fact, only Potensic can answer your question (i.e., the location of the WP saved file). I was not able to find the location. Most camera drones that support WP allow the user to save a plan; but, most of these apps could only re-fly the most recently saved plan. The only app that allows me to save WP plans with a file name is one for the DJI product.
No. If the drone is over 500m from the current position, the app won't let you place a waypoint. So, plan the WP first (on a map) , go to the center of your route, fly the drone up and finally setup the waypoints. This would minimize this 500m restriction.
hi, i've got one question, can we set some point of interrest with the waypoint nav ? can the drone keep the camera on a point while doing the waypoint ?
The WP capability that the ATOM has is a very primitive one. As a result, it does not have POI. It cannot fly a curved turn when the aircraft approaches a WP point.
This is a awesome drone, I'm making lots of videos and I'm getting subscribers from it 🎉
Congratulations for the images you made 👋👋👋
I found my wanted and commented Tutorial, thanks
Can u turn drone to left right for camera recoding in
waypoints mode?

can it exceed over 500m and fly waypoint flight
No. If the drone is over 500m from the current position, the app won't let you place a waypoint. So, plan the WP first (on a map) , go to the center of your route, fly the drone up and finally setup the waypoints. This would minimize this 500m restriction.
