How to Leverage Waypoint Missions for Public Safety with the DJI Matrice 30T

In this video, Mike Sember, a South Florida firefighter, demonstrates how to run a Waypoint mission with the DJI Matrice 30T. An excellent tool for first responders, police officers, and firefighters in long-duration events, this feature can help take the effort off the pilot in command and let the drone do the work.
This is a great option for long-lasting fires, a HazMat situation, or surveillance operations. Mike flies over a housing complex and explains how to set a Waypoint from end-to-end and keep those eyes in the sky for command crews in case one of the houses is caught on fire. Watch to learn more.

LOVE THE CHANNEL

[@DroneNerds]

Thank you for watching!

Although it's not as user-friendly as the Mavic Series Spotlight 2.0, and Point of Interest 3.0, have you tried a 4 waypoint setup and drag the POI locator in the middle? Just set the Yaw to POI and the flight to curved and you pretty much have a 360 around an area.

Good idea!

Great video. How can you pause and resume mission without being prompted to resume at break or at start?

[@DroneNerds]

The prompt is a safety measure, so we don't recommend bypassing it. Happy flying!

Have you found a way to manually add a POI, and then have the drone fly to that? i.e., you have a last known lat/long of a subject and you want the drone to go there, how would you manually enter a lat/long and have the drone fly to it?

[@DroneNerds]

This can be done in Flight Hub 2 however FH2 doesn't allow for Lat / Long inputs directly. What you want to do is use Google Maps to generate a waypoint .KML file. You can then import that into FH2 and achieve your goal. Obviously you will need to select altitude parameters in FH2. Hope this helps!

I would like dji to add a repeate option so it can repeatedly do it again again till you are ready to stop the mission

[@jimmullins1732]

I agree

[@DroneNerds]

Agreed!
