DJI Waypoints 2.0 In-Depth Tutorial Part 1 - Pre-flight planning
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2024
- In this first of 2 videos about the Waypoints 2.0 intelligent flight mode from DJI, I demonstrate how you can set up a flight mission before you even get out to the field. In the second video, I show you how I plan to use this flight mode for a 2-year project. Through the process of making this video, I do discover an issue that you should be aware of.
After losing a ton of valuable footage, I now only use this microSD card in my drones: amzn.to/2ugFmRV

Such an easy to understand tutorial, thanks again Russ. I think I will find it very useful. Best wishes to everyone.
Extraordinarily good video Russ. You do a great job of explaining and making everything very clear. Thank you for taking the time to create this video and part 2 as well.
Great tutorial. Perfect application for our new multi-year construction project. Thank you!
Great video part one on waypoints. And better late than never. And perhaps one of the reasons people watch your channel is that you have a really wonderful ‘teaching’ style. So don’t underestimate that value. It connects with a lot of people. And that’s important as you know to be successful
Thanks Jenna. I truly appreciate that!
Thank you Russ for reminding me just how awesome this drone is!
Perfect video, making things easy to understand. Thank you!
Nice work, Ross. Very informative. I've up till now, just played around a little with WP2 on my M2P - nothing for customers yet. But I see so much potential in this. I think for me it's going to fully replace using std POI, Circle and a lot of the other presets. Simply because you can direct the filming precise and get so much more interesting footage of the subject then regular flight modes.
Great video Russ. The explanation was spot on and easy to follow. Wish it was available on my magic platinum.
Great Video Russ!! I haven't had the chance to play with Way points yet, But Now I have a good Idea on how to do it. Thanks for posting.
Great introductory video on way points 2.0
Hi Russ You are great at teaching. I am a safety person an I took note on the setting. Hope yuo and your family are save with Covid-19. Have a great day.
Great job explaining the process! Thanks!
I would love to have this added to the Phantom 4 Pro V2. I think I could use it quite frequently. Also great in depth, on how to use it.
Thanks for a nice video, and explanation.
Perfect tutorial, thank you sir!
Thank you! Very helpful
very great info, thanks.
Thanks Russ
Very informative.. As a safety factor. Helicopters fly over freeways to reduce noise impact over urban areas.
Very interesting. I might play with waypoints soon before my next trip
Thanks for the great video
Great tutorial, Russ. I just setup my first mission and discovered an interesting fact. If you setup and save a mission on an iPhone, the mission is saved on the iPhone. When I switch to my iPad, the mission isn't there.
Hi Russ, great tutorial. Hope they give to the Mavic Pro Platinum!
Great Video !
Very useful - many thanks.
Thank you for these videos. I'd like to know how to reorder Waypoints. Adding a new one is going to the end of the Route.
good one Ross
Great info! Appreciated...
Russ great channel you have and very informative. I have tried using waypoints 2.0 on my mavic 2 pro. Can you tell me how to make it not stop at each waypoint but kept flying in a smooth flight action. Thanks
Thank You !!
Great tips!!
Seems like with recent update I can now pre-plan and save missions in warning geozones that it wouldn't let perform before update....I could do it while flying but not until then. Good update!
Hey Russ, great info thanks again for this. Quick question when you are trying to set up pre-Flight waypoint missions do you need to navigate to your location manually? Or can you search for location somehow? I have several building sites across different towns and would like to preset inspection paths prior.
Definitely would use it. Are they fasing out the magic pro since the 2 came out. I haven't seen very many up dates for the original Mavic
Russ, great content as per usual. Have you completed the progression video of the construction project? We are coming up on the 2 year mark.
Very cool, point of interest is a great option.. Like...
Hi my friend, it's a great explanation for the waypoint👍 feature. Can coordinates be entered manually for each waypoint?
Thank you!!
Thank you 👍🏻👏👏👏
Good tutorial. Very helpful.
Question: where is the TaskLibrary saved --- on the SD card or the Drone's own memory?
Is there a way to backup the TaskLib ?
So I have the Mavic pro model M1P can I up grade to waypoints 2.0? I enjoy your videos. They have keep me out of trouble!!
Ross, I had the same thing happen to me. I went out to fly some before/after waypoints and they were gone. I have the video, but not the waypoints themselves. I was shooting pre forest thinning vs post, but the area burned in a wildfire before it was thinned and now it's toast. It would have been a perfect "Why we need to thin video".
Waypoints 2.0 looks very useful. I can think of many "projects" to record over time.
I wish it would come to the Mavic Pro Platinum!!
Thanks for the informative video...
Stefan Kowalewski I have the Platinum and the M2P. Use Litchi. Been using it for over 2 years. Never had an issue. You can preprogram your mission on a laptop using Litchi Mission Hub, so much easier than your phone or tablet. Modify the mission on site, save the mission back to the cloud. I have hundreds of missions I can re fly when on holidays in Thailand several times per year. I have not used Go4 since I got Litchi except to calibrate the IMUs
@@Mark.Brindle Thank you! I will definitely give it a try.
amazing, thank you :)
Great stuff as usual. I always find that when I try to edit a waypoint I always end up adding another which gets to be quite annoying.
Thanks so much for all your videos! My question = can a saved route be shared or sent? Here is my scenario, i want to pre-plan on my wifes ipad, then send file to the non-sim iphone used to fly.
Thanks for this excellent tutorial! But I wonder if I can use Waypoint 2.0 with Mavic Pro (first generation)?
Great video; gives me a ton of ideas for when I travel with the drone. I wish they would add the feature to the Mavic.
They might someday being that there are so many out there.
Hi and thanks for many great videos. I have a mavic pro and am very happy with it, but why can dji not upgrade the software in waypoint to and work as it does with mavic pro 2 this should not be a big problem.
One question regarding waypoints 2.0 and the Mavic 2 Pro:
I've made a 9-point plan with my drone flying towards and over a small hill with a castle on top.
When I first made the plan my homepoint (and standpoint) was at the bottom of the hill.
Yesterday I was on the top of the hill while initiating the same flightplan. And I also did som changes to the plan regarding heights of the different waypoints.
So this got me thinking..
The drone usually seem to calculate height related to my homepoint, so how does it calculate when it does flightplans? GPS altitude? (or else my startpoint would be at approx -30m)
My original plan is starting at 30m/100feet and ascending to 80m/250ft over the hill which is about 60m/200ft. - I'm not sure.. but it felt like it went a bit higher than that when I initiated the plan from the top of the hill yesterday.
One other thing. The RTH function was spot on yesterday! However it was about 10feet off during landing until it was about 10feet above ground, then I'm guessing optical sensing kicked in and adjusted the final.
Pretty cool!
Thanks for a bunch of useful information on your channel!
I started flying my drone in april, so still fairly new.
I know im a little late there but i notice when i pull up my waypoints. I dont have the 4 icons in the middle. I have the 5 on the right. I do i get that. I have a mavic pro alpine white thx. PLUS I have all the latest updates.
Thousands tutorials on this, no one explains how to do it off line with the new smart controller. I can’t believe I have to plan tasks like the one you explain very well next to my drone in ON mode with its fan constantly running. When I finish both remote and drone are boiling hot. Indeed great drone and great features but...........
Get Litchi. You can plan all kinds of missions on your PC at home with the included Mission Hub .
Point a small fan toward your drone
Good morning Russ, I have a question. When I set my waypionts I can't adjust my height above 65 feet. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Jim
Other than your awesome video, you really got my attention when you talked about your SD card failing so I'm curious what type that was and what type of SanDisk you are using now?
so is that feature in the Mavic pro Platinum? I have not flown my drone for a long time
No.
Hi Russ, thank you for this video, very new to Mavic 2 Pro and still learning. One question, what happens if there is an obstacle between two set pints, for exapmple a small hill between point1 and point 2 ? Thank you
I'm wondering the same....
Hi, Does it work with the mini ? thanks for the video help
Hi Russ, I am interested on how I delete a mission completely (in name also) from the Task library?
Nice Tutorial..
Could we input the coordinate or import the kml rather than tap in the map?
Hi, can we import the coordinate that we've pre-made on google earth? like import kml
I really like the weypoints. I am doing the same as you. Only mine is a new housing development in a disused field next to my home. It's just a pity we can't save the missions online and re download them as you can with litchi. You have to save the Misson on the device you are using. If you damage your device for some reason. You will lose the saved Misson. Which could happen on a long building project you are trying to record over time. Someone said you can save the file from an ipad. But I think thats really hard to do. It would be really cool if we could also save a POI in the task library.
So two questions I have. 1. In order to design your preplanned route using waypoints 2.0, you need to have the drone powered up along with the remote? You can't do it from one of DJI's website and save it under your username? 2. One thing I noticed when I tried it myself (I was using my DJI smart controller and not the original remote with my phone connected to it) yesterday, I could not see the map of the area I was at. After thinking about it for a while, I realize that for the smart controller I needed a internet connection. If you are using the smart controller do you agree with that? When I turned on my wifi hotspot on my phone, I was able to see the map of the area where I was at flying my drone. And probably one last thing. for the arc flight mode, does the entire designed route have to be in that mode if selected, or can I select segments of my route to fly in that mode? Thanks!!
How do you record the monitor screen while flying the Mavic 2 Pro? I would like to watch the flight screen info back on video, is this possible? If so, would you know how to set this up or where to find it if it’s already doing this? Thank you very much.
Great video. Do you know if you can enter waypoints using coordinates instead of selecting on the map? Also, if you can display coordinates you could protect against loss of the mission by screen shot or writing them down.
Good point, but no, you can't set it by coordinates.
Very informative. Would be really nice if DJI added Waypoints 2.0 to Mavic Pro.
Hello, also from Minot!
Thanks for posting making the vid it’s very helpful. When you set the height is that set 200ft above ground level or from where you take off from? Thanks
From take off point.
@@51Drones what if you needed to set it higher than 201ft as you did, or is that the max height from takeoff allowed??
Since this video is 2 years old, I don't know if you'll see this, but I have a question. In your settings at home, you set the No RC Signal value to "Continue task", and the Task Completed value to "Hover". Wouldn't this mean that if your waypoint was out of RC signal range, it would continue to the waypoint, and then stay there where it can't reconnect? Would it do a fail-safe RTH when the battery got low? Otherwise, how would you get it back?
Great information for myself. I have a Matrice 200
With gimbal and X5S camera. I have volunteered to video our local 18 golf course. Can I use what you presented on your demonstration to map all 18 holes using way points? I tried flying and videoing all 18 manually with a friend driving a golf cart and the video was jerky with lots of abrupt changes in flight directions
Great vid, does this work on the Air 2?
Hey Russ, I was wondering if there was a way to transfer waypoints I created on my iPad to my iPhone?
not sure if I have waypoints 2.0 because I don't see these features when I try to make missions. I purchased a Mavic air 2s last year and although I have used waypoints a few times, it tends to be difficult to manage. If a mission runs longer than the battery, can you have the drone continue the mission from the last known point?
I'm trying to document the installation of a disc golf course and my troubleshooting days are getting numerous.
Hi Ross!! I’m trying to make drone hyperlapse on construction site, (over 2 years) but i’m not sure the result will be good because there are a lot of variables, such as gps… i’m not sure the saved path will be always followed at the same way because of gps… please if you can help me would be really appreciate
That is informative. Thanks.
When you program it at home, how do you know what height is safe from wires, etc?
I think it's important to be familiar with the area before programming.
Am almost thinking of going Litchi with all the latest issues with Go4 app lately as still can’t get it sorted out since updated. Great job Russ btw!!
Chuck Miller, I prefer Litchi. It does a better job and you can plan a mission without connecting to the drone.
Ethan Mitchell what is this “Litchi”? I’m a new drone owner and have heard this a few times now. Does this work with the Mavic 2 Pro? Thx
@@tundrawhisperer4821 is litchi any good with the dji spark
Paul Oscroft sorry, not familiar with this.
Does Litchi work with the Air 2S?
Russ I was wondering if there is a way to change flight speed to MPH and height of drone to feet. ? I fly a Mavic 2 pro. Thank you, Thomas.
... It would be nice to be able to set the actual latitude & longitude coordinates for your POI, then set your waypoints...Probably easier if the site was visible on the map too.
At 2:57 it looks like you're putting way points in a yellow geozone?? I live and fly in a yellow geozone and when I try and pre-plan a flight in yellow zone it won't let me place a waypoint because I'm in that zone.....is it possible to do and if so how?? Thanks for your help.
Can you use Waypoints 2.0 with a Phantom 4 Pro ? I’ve been looking and only see the old set up ??? Mavic Pro Only ??
How do you access the waypoints interface like your showing? Do you access it from the same mobile all you use to fly the drone?
You still have to power up your drone and waste battery power to pre-plan a waypoint mission though. Other brands of quadcopter allow this to be done external to the quadcopter and then load it on when it suits. Even a home made quadcopter running Inav firmware allows this.
Hi. Were can I find my saved missions?
I have the mavic 3 with the rc remote and i still prefer my mpro 2 to this date.
How to keep taking photos after a certain interval during the waypoint mission?
If the flight direction is set to "Route," can the camera swing left and/or right (using a finger to move the blue circle on the screen)? Flying sideways seems inefficient, even if this is a helicopter.(Which intelligent flight modes allow this?)
Wasn't aware this was available. Does it work with the Air2s and where can I get it. Currently using Litchi which is OK but has its issues.
Can I do the same thing with my Phantom Pro 3
Hi, is there any way to set your waypoint with drone power off? Is there a way to access the app with drone off?
I encountered before drone arrriving the 1st. way point. RC signal lost. Mission had already set to continue the task. I had no confidence. so I abundant the mission and pressed RTH. If RC had lost signal how can it still communicate with Drone to receive the signal to tell the drone RTH. Please advise.
How did you get your PC set up with this software and connected to the drone? How did you get to your “starting” point?
Hey 51 Drones, does the aircraft has to be on?
Can you do this for hyperlapse waypoinylt and save a mission?
I have a phantom 4 advanced, I cannot do preflight waypoints. Is it only for the Mavic?
is there any way i can save my way points on my computer .so if they get deleted from my app i can restore them.thks
Hello. Does anybody know if it's possible to use Waypoints 2.0 in the smart controller with the phantom 4 pro v2?
Will this work on mavic pro the original
Thanks Russ I'm planning on doing the same thing with a Indian gambling hall with shopping center and hotel that's just being be set for Building you can see the area in my last video's. This will help a lot thanks
hi friend, do you know if this app is compatible with MINI 2?
Please, do we have this Waypoint 2.0 available on Phantom 4 pro?
Can you create a flight plan save it and load it when at a new location? Then go to another location and load the plan?
I want to take photos of rooftops with the same pattern of passes and be able to stitch together multiple videos from different locations but same flight path and angles. Is this possible?
Can you set up waypoints or a fligt plan with gps co-coordinates?
