Do you happen to know if you can use this feature and turn off the RTH feature? I would like to use a feature like this without the drone trying to RTH, simply stop and hover, so you can walk to it and collect it once the mission is complete.
Another question though, having watched to the end of the clip 🙂 what is the minimum flight speed for waypoint missions? Looks like you had the collision course mission set on 0.7m/s, or maybe the drone had already started slowing by the time you trimmed the clip for your video? So is it possible to set speed at 0.1m/s and is that the lowest setting?
I don't think it helps showing adding waypoints when not on site. I need to see it for a real life situation like setting them for a building progress not flying a river.
Excellent video. I've been looking for a tutorial on this feature for a while now and this is excellent. Also great to see Cushendun in the background.
Great video Mattheww. You consistently produce some of the best drone videos on UA-cam. Your graphics are great and your explanations are clear and very thorough. Keep up the super work. Glad that DJI finally put waypoints back onto their high end drones. Hope they add it to the Mini 3 Pro and Air 2 S soon.
Hi Matthew and hello from a now exiled in Berlin Norn Iron'er! I've just bought my first drone a few days ago - dji mini 3 pro - and can't wait for this feature to make it's way there. Loving the content - I've fallen down a rabbit hole last night and have since watched dozens of your videos through the night :D
Nice job Matthew on explaining these features. It is most helpful to practice making short videos or making videos at different times of the year. Nice to have functions on the front of the screen.
First Mavic 3 waypoint mission flown today, followed Matthew’s instructions and set it up at home as I knew the flight area well, then tweaked a couple of things when I got to site. I’d definitely say it’s a good idea to at least practice at home so you know what you’re doing when you get to the site.
@@TheDroneCreative I thought it was really intuitive, more so than what used to be on the Phantom4, I forget what that was called. It’s definitely something I’ll use more of. I used it yesterday as a test for both waypoints but also running the Cine in ProRes, so I’ve just need to get to grips editing ProRes and correct colour grading it in Final Cut now.
Wow, some powerful stuff. It keeps amazing me at the great features that DJI keeps adding. Love my new M3Classic! Gonna have to give this a try. I want to fly along a route, doing time lapse during the day then recreate that same flight during sunset then edit them together for that amazing transition from day to night reel! Great video!
This was super helpful. Thank you for all the time you have put into this video. I am awaiting the delivery of a Mavic 3 Pro. This will be very helpful to experiment with. Thanks again. Have a great day. 😀
Another great video, it will be interesting to see what videos are posted in the coming months, with the same flights being flown in various seasons, and whether the positioning will be good enough to split together clips as the seasons change
Great job Matt, with a cogent description of WayPoints set up. I used it with the Mavic 2 Zoom & found it to be a very powerful & useful cinematographic video tool.
Awesome video Matthew! Thanks for sharing this option, it really helps me understand this flight mode/option without going through all the trials and errors on my own.
I have seen 3rd party apps with these similar capabilities but to have it all incorporated into the DJI controller is super. Nice video. Very detailed. Do you think they would add this to the Mini 3 Pro?
Thank you so much, I was wanting to know and you covered it at 15:03 where during a waypoint mode and it came across an object it would stop. This is great.
@@TheDroneCreative Thank YOU for being very nice and thorough also during any of the other automatic modes, does it automatically detect objects as well? I don't know what they're called I'm still new, returning my Air 2s today and getting the Mavic 3 Classic, mainly for the waypoints, wanting to document my new home build but doing a fly around ever week and putting a timelapse together at the end.
Thanks for the video. Very clear and thorough. Just an observation if I may. I was impressed by audio quality of your DJI mic. Not so much with audio in your studio.
Thanks for this. Very clear explanation. I will try this today. Actually the second method is more appropriate for places where the satellite imagery doesn't allow for details such in a wooded area or with lots of buildings or structures of different heights and the land itself is full of ravines etc. Again many thanks.
It is now enabled, I’ve just bought it, but am unable to download it for some reason! Hopefully I’ll get this resolved soon, no network connection between my iPhone with the Dji fly app open and the RC controller. It’ll be a great addition to the versatility of the drone, once I get it uploaded!
Waypoints are awesome, been using them since I was a wee lad, I feel the Mavic 3 does a much better job than the Mavic 2 series in terms of smoothness, hopefully we'll get even more control over that in the future though. Put a damn scarf on, I got a sore throat just watching you out there!
haha, scarf definitely required. We have wen't from reasonable temperatures to "too damn cold to be outside" temperatures. The waypoints on the Mavic 3 works really well, very impressed with it. Now let's hope they add it to the Mini 3 Pro! 🤘
@@TheDroneCreative It would be great on the Mini 3 Pro, and, and, and cruise control! Yep, same here, reasonable to freezing, down to -12 next week, brrr.
Thank you so much for such a consistent waypoints tutorial !! I wonder if there is the possibility to set up a mission using fix overlap perventance among continuous photos taken on consecutively way points (as for example we have in “Pix4d”) so to make orthophoto of a place of interest ?
Another great tutorial Matteww . I can't wait to use the new waypoints function on my M3 Classic when the weather improves here in NZ! As a matter of interest, should the update be applied to all of my batteries? Or is the update only applied to the RC? Cheers
Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to figure this out for quite a while. Can I manually take over the camera while it’s following waypoint and points of interest?
"River". Lol. That's a stream. Great info on waypoints, thank you. Still with the Mavic 3 SDK was released so I can use Litchi, which is much easier to use, and accessible online, by a large number of drones.
Thanks for the great video. It doesn't show me the green line between the waypoints. It shows the waypoints but the green line not so I can not see in what curve it will fly between the waypoints. Do you have any idea why ot doesn't show?
Fantastic! It would be great if you add Quick shot functionality to waypoints. Eg at waypoint 2 perform a dronie, at waypoint 5 perform an orbit circle.....
Well explained, Matthew! It made me wonder: is it possible to re-rank your waypoints? Let’s say you want to start by making a pathway of 3 waypoints for figuring out a tricky route in a tight spot, something you want to have settled before adding more options. Then afterwards, say I add a few waypoints previous to and after the 3 made earlier. Will the software recognize so that the initial 3 waypoints are in the middle of the route and not just in the beginning? Also, POI counts just for static objects, not moving ones?
Really excellent video. I have a friend in Northern Ireland who has a Mavic 3 and he will be delighted with this. I really hope that DJI make this available on the Mini 3 Pro very soon so that I can make use of the feature also; it will be so useful.
excellent tutorial. Can I ask are the waypoints saved anywhere other than your controller? ie to your DJI acount? what happens if you lose the controller or it resets or something. I have a job where they want seasonal footage of the same route....so can't afford to lose the waypoints.
Thanks Matthew, great video. But I have a question. Is this drone able to create waypoint by input the certain coordinate (longitude & lattitude data)? Thanks
Great video. I wonder are the mission details held on the drone or does it a require a good connection to the controller. Will the mission end if the signal is lost?
