- In this video, I am demonstrating how to use Spotlight and Point Of Interest on the DJI Mavic 3. These intelligent flight modes are part of the FocusTrack system and can be a powerful tool for drone pilots when it comes to capturing dynamic shots. Unlike other flight modes that can be a little gimmicky Spotlight and POI are very useful for both new drone pilots and seasoned professionals. This DJI Mavic 3 Spotlight and Point Of Interest tutorial shows how easy it is to set up and capture your shot.

#Mavic3 #Spotlight #POI
I like using POI on my videos! I'm not sure if a lot of pilot use this but actually it's a convenient feature, like a quickshot only with more flexible options
You answered my question (difference of POI and Spotlight) so thank you, taking my DJI Mini 3 Pro on an Norwegian Cruise Line Prima Cruise for Norfolk, VA and Bermuda this upcoming week. So excited! Have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just bought a Mavic 3 Classic, not to long ago. Already, I'm recovering from a hard crash, just a POI. I wanted to test RTH, since the drone kept landing 5 to 10 feet away from launch site which was from the middle of a road. I fired up the drone and controller waited till I had 20 satellites and Home has been updated. Flew the drone up 25 and manual updated RTH again. Well at this point, since I watched last night a cool video of someone walking through thick forest and using POI tracking, I decided to give it a try. This was my very first experience with automation at work other than the drone flying far above the trees doing a waypoint mission. The drone was able to track me, but I was in Spotlight mode, so I changed it to POI once I got to my destination. Once I turned, in order grab my chainsaw, to work on a cutting some wood, the drone decided to go and quickly say hi to a large maple tree. I heard the drone smack and the cracking sound. Down, down, down the drone went into the thick blackberry bushes. The back propeller was totally missing, and it took a while to find it. Again it was difficult getting to the drone that was in thick blackberry bushing, and for the record the drone was up about 25 feet, so well clear of the blackberry bushes when it crashed. The good news is the drone's camera appears to be fine and the drone came with a spare propeller. The bad news, as a newbie, I now have fear that if I allow the drone to fly by itself again, while in the forest, that it will make another bee line straight for the nearest tree. And, yes all the sensors were on, I fly in Normal and Bypass modes. The trees are not that close, compared to the video that I saw on TH-cam last night. It makes be wonder if that guy was blessed or just edited out all the crashes? So, I typed this comment just in case any "new drone pilots" think the tracking software is great to use in a forest. The ones that are promoting tracking are generally flying where there are no trees, trees are off in the distance, or potentially editing out their crashes. Flying in POI tracking mode while in a forest with this Classic drone appears to be potentially hazardous! Hope this helps someone on this topic. Now on to trying to test that solution to fixing RTH landing....Cheers.
Thank you for this insight into “spotlight” mode; I will try it once the weather permits (on my next walk). ☑️
Thanks. Your videos are always concise and professional without a lot of unnecessary time. Plus, you put out enough quantity and variety that we don't forget about you.
I have seen others on the same subject that I get bored with and don't finish, yet at my age, I can't get too many repetitions ahead of time or in actual practice.
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it
I love Spotlight AND … Cruise Control. While I can do smooth stick control, I find both tools let me focus MORE on the subject and NOT the controls.
I absolutely love these features, I use them a lot
👍
Spotlight is an awesome feature, I need to use more than I do. My only problem with features like Spotlight is that I want to use it during a flight, but I've already started it in DLOG, or 5k, or a high frame rate. And of course it won't let me, so I have to stop the flight and change settings, and many times that's not a good option. Great demo and explanation of how this feature works. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Ron. Yes hopefully that is something they will change in a future update
Best and most informative explanation. Thanks.
I love using spotlight, allows me to focus on flying and zoom. Great video as always.
Indeed it is one of my favorite features
Thanks, Sean. I do like the ability to use all “tools” available. Great, short presentation of Spotlight and POI.
Thank you
The footage you shared looks so cool. Spotlight feature seems very handy. I love it!
Indeed it was a very handy tool and I used it quite a bit. Thanks for watching
These educational clips are good stuff. Thank you.
Very nice. Just what I was looking for. Thank you!
Well done. Great job..
Mikey
Excellent Tutorial Video! Thank You!
Thank you
Great video as always! Active track is really an interesting feature but Spotlight and POI are impressive also!
The only time I ever used an automated flight feature the drone went sideways right into a tree, not good. I rarely use the automated flight features but you did an excellent job explaining
thank you. great video
Like always great video. My problem is TREES!!! when flying my Air2S for my lawn mowing videos I'm limited to using the POI setting, but I was wondering how close or how tight can you set the "circle "and or radius? There's one area on my property that has to be set just right in order to avoid hitting a tree. If you have any pro tips let me know.
good morning and thank you
Thank you and good morning
Nice 1 Sean
Great demo!
Thanks Don much appreciated
thanks, great video as usual
Thank you
Please make video with pro controller and standard controller
I've been looking for that Spotlight in the menu and it's hiding someplace. How do you get it to show? Oh, using the M3 Classic and RC-Pro. I'm sure you have to be flying and then maybe draw your box before it pops up. Need to try that tomorrow.
Can you fly straight toward and then past an object like a smokestack still keeping it in the center of the frame? Will the drone yaw in the process?
Thank you for this and other videos. Very clear, and inspiring. I haven’t yet figured out the “draw a box” thing. Is there some trick to getting a box drawn?
Make sure you have the latest firmware because these firmware that comes preinstalled and the drone is not up-to-date it will not allow you to select subjects yet. Once you’re running updated firmware all you have to do is draw on any object on the screen with your finger
Hi Sean, great video as always! I may have asked this before, but can you tell me where this lighthouse is located in Ontario? Thanks in advance!
If you do a search for the Lowbanks that is the closest town. And it’s just off the coast from Rock Point Provincial Park. It’s approximately 2 km off the shoreline. The little island that sits on is called Mohawk Island some also refer to it as gull island
I wasnt able to find in M3 Thermal. Did they skip that function?
Is this feature available on the 3T model? I can’t seem to find the intelligent flight modes on the controller. 3T is the thermal enterprise version
Is it possible to change iso and shutter during those focus tracks?
I just tried the active track for a boat and I was having a lot of trouble keeping track of the boat, it kept tracking the waves behind the boat after a few seconds for many different boats, and it was very stressful how do I fix this and what am I doing wrong??? I was using spotlight also , Someone please help and thank you so much in advance!!
This may have been asked before. Is there a way to take still photos, let’s say every two seconds automatically while flying around the light house. I would like to do the circle automatically. Also will the GPS coordinates be capture with each picture taken?
When I use POI I’ll use the right joystick to push the drone closer to the subject. When I let go of the joystick for some reason the drone backs away from the subject a little bit, making the video not look as smooth. I never had this issue with the Mavic pro 2. Does anyone know how to fix this with the Mavic 3?
Also with the Mavic 3when using the POI and using left joyStick to go up and down the drone is wayyyy more slow going up and down than the Mavic pro 2, making me almost hit trees. Any advice on fixing that too?
Can you take control of drone while in POI and Spot light mode ? I thought it was automatic? Thanks
Yes, well it is doing one of the intelligent flight functions at any time you can adjust the sticks to change the position. And then of course, hit the cancel button to stop it all together.
When did the Poi get added, I heard it wasn’t on the Mavic 3, is this with a recent update/firmware?
Yes just before Christmas they released a firmware update adding a lot of the missing features. There’s still a few missing features such as quick shots and panorama. But those should be coming via firmware update anytime now
Sadly spotlight no longer works in D-Log with the Air2s. Until the last update it did but the latest version of DJI Fly has crippled it :(
That is very strange indeed I wonder what the reason behind that is. Hopefully we see this reversed with the next update
What is the story of that lighthouse? .... or a link to its story so I can learn!
www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=1075
@@AirPhotography such an interesting story! Thank you for sharing good sir!
Hello from Germany, does it also stay in Fokus? THX Bas.
Yes it does As long as you have it set to automatic focus
@@AirPhotography THX!
What’s the difference between poi and spotlight?
When you select point of interest the drone will just circle around either a stationary or moving subject and will continue to circle until you stop it. With spotlight once you select a subject the drone will not move. It’s up to you to move the sticks but it will keep the subject either stationary or moving in the center of frame
So, just fly and no worry about gimball? seems that's what I need.
Exactly for lock on your subject and fly around and it will stay centered
What really doesn't make sense to me is why they limit it to only 4K 30 frames per second.
Yeah I’m not quite sure why the limitation. Hopefully that will change in the near future with a firmware update. It’s the same on the Air 2s
@@AirPhotography I wouldn't be so sure because recently they went the other direction and now it only works in standard picture profile. If you try using it in D-Log a message comes up that spotlight is not available in D-Log mode. I do wonder if the Air2s has been crippled purposely in favor of the Mavic 3.
