+Dazeof Leisure dont forget that dji made the sdk open for anyone a while back. You can get other groundstation apps that will do that in the appstore.
Sick! I can recorded the waypoint to my grandma house (which is 2.5km away)and get an fresh baked cookie without of the hassle of walking/biking over there! This is awesome!
Users should be able to mark the waypoints into the app. This upgrade is good but it's not as useful as it could. Please update that possibility and thank you for the new add ons (Y)
Hi! Is it possible to fly on the same route/course, without the waypoints? (I will use the waypoints in the future). In summer time a filmed a beautiful forest and now, in autumn, i would like to shot on the exactly same track in order to make (in post production) a dissolve of the two footage! I have a DJi MAVIC PRO PLATINUM. Thanks a lot!
One question, Does it record various heights along with the way-points like for c1 if it is at 40 mtr and if it is 50 mtr for c2 and for c3 if it is 60 mtr and so on.. for the next flight ?
is this feature availble with the DJI Mavic Pro? Will it continue to fly the pre programmed flight path even if it loses either RC control or Video reception or if losing either will it stop the mission and fly back to home? If it continues the pre programmed waypoints flight path if the battery starts getting low is there a way to program it to automatically fly back to home before the battery expires (set a minimum battery level to automatically fly home)? Thanks for any feedback
Very smart... You've recorded your live waypoints and ready to start your automated mission. But wait! You realise your battery's dead because you've wasted all your power flying to the wayooints... And wait, I already had my camera recording on the way to the waypoint! So, WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS FEATURE if you can't set the waypoints for the mission prior to flying?! The much older Ground Station s/ware did exactly this!
I just realized a same story today :) First I run out from battery. Then I reach the 500 m limit. For fix that I walked to new position, then the home point is stay on the old place, then I try to set a new home point, but the half of the screen is covered with this flight mode, then I run out from battery. Then after the charging, the weather get wrong... So what is this flight mode? MAKE YOU NERVES flight mode! No editing of the waypoints... no renaming, no global waypoints what You can use for other plans, no altitude settings, no easing, no curvature editing, no speed change planning... DJI? Something? For 1800 EUR? for PH4 Pro?
Stupid video, stupid content, dumb to have background music on an instructional video. DJI GO is good for firmware upgrades and for calibrating compass, IMU and sticks. Litchi is the only way too go for waypoint missions. Fly your Phantom 3 Standard as far out as your battery will allow the bird to return.
Save battery and just hold the drone in the air and walk to where you want to set waypoints, saves on battery and you get some nice exercise. Just remember to wear your wellies when walking into the sea... oh and hold the drone high so it doesn't get wet.
So you have to fly the drone while setting the waypoints? This is the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time, you may as well call it a "copy" feature. The only time this feature would ever be useful is when you need to record the exact same path multiple times.... which is extremely rare. Introduce pre-flight waypoint planning please.
I know its been a while since this has been posted and I agree with you all BUT, here's the upside. Your flying your waypoints and notice wires, a pole or something else in your path. You can adjust it before flying it. Another reason is to save it in your favorites and fly it at another time, such as a sunset or at night or a different season to get the effect you want. As a pilot we usually carry maps with updated obstacles that might be in our flightpath or just to let us know there's a 1,000 ft. radio tower or towers in a certain area usually in the middle of nowhere. But as Quadcopter or Drone pilots we usually fly closer to the ground where there are plenty of things that can be deceiving in height and just reach out and grab your quad. I know its a pain to have to fly it twice but consider it a rehearsal so you can get it perfect and leave with your drone in the same shape you arrived with it.
I need to mark the waypoint before taking off and let Phantom 3 Professional get tons of pictures to scan the place and after it use Agisoft Photoscan to see whats going on in my plantation.. Any APP or suggestion?
PLEASE ANSWER ME..Is there the possibility to set the pre-programmed waypoints as well as the take-off command via file (from Laptop or tablet interconnected via a USB cable to the drone controller) or something else while it's hovering?
Why do you have to PRE FLY EACH WAYPOINT? Litchi you can create entire mission on the map live or ahead of time on computer, etc. I hope DJI catches up to this
A step in the right direction to be sure. But wasting battery and flight time to get in the air, THEN fiddle with setting waypoints and beginning to fly the course is not quite optimum.
+Bill Farnham true, but it does prevent people from crashing into trees, buildings because of wrong height. If you already have flown the route yourself, you know for sure the the point will be at the correct height. :) morst of the times, unless you fly behind something and set the next point at a lower height.
+DJI - This is the worst news that I could read from you. For agriculture purpose fly with a previous draw waypoints is mandatory to built a real photoscan and extend the bateries use, otherwise you get only some spots. DJI Professional should come with this optional use, as the name says, it is for professionals...
+DJI I think it is better if we can draw flight path/points prior to take off. We can use designed flight path to navigate drones manually. And with manual, we can advoid obstacles. We just need some navigation to know where drones are needed to be.
+DJI So why not simply require the user to monitor the flight (they press a button every couple of minutes to confirm their attention for example), otherwise you may as well not have this feature at all as you're basically flying manually anyway.
I have to agree with others -- this should allow the pilot to set mission waypoints before you fly. Having to fly the mission in order to set waypoints, frankly, adds no value for me. I guess it's back to 3DR (with all their faults) until DJI figures this out.
I think its obvious why you are not able to preset the waypoints on the map. Think about it. There are a lot of idiots out there! This is the smartest way.
I have phantom 3 standard, I just completely update it. But when I switch the mode to F mode the notification doesn't pup up, I cannot play the flight mode , so sad how can I fix it please?
I actually see the value in setting in person as I’ve been doing litchi waypoints and it’s a breeze but if google Maps is 10ft off and you are doing a mission close in, pilots beware as you will slam into something. Just saying
friends could help me, I want to buy a phantom but I do not know which model, just that I need to know what is the height distance that I can start to record the waypoint as I make video captures and take pictures, and so I need to know the distance from the ground up, I need it to take pictures for a greenhouse, could you help me ??
What the heck is this good for if I have to fly to each point first? 1. DJI doesn't your drone to run into an unsuspected treetop, high tension wire, house and building, eagle nest, etc. 2. After setting all the waypoints, you can concentrate on the camera control instead of flying. 3. You will need a new battery.
hello bro, just wanna ask something i send back this to china for fixing after two months they sent back to me but the problem is the intelligent flight mode is gone is there anyway i can fix this? pls help thank
+TheUofAfan LOL Finally Someone who found the real stupid ness of this feature. This should be called repeat flight path feature, not waypoint. How idiots does DJI think we are?
+Logan Boyd the record setting points camera to the direction that it was facing when waypoint was recorded, routine points camera in the direction of travel, free allows you to control the direction it is pointing by adjusting yaw while the p3 is tracing the waypoints
This is all a sales pitch. They want you to not be able to pre plan your flight so you waste your battery . That then gets you irritated, and makes you purchase a second. 😉
Hello from Dublin(Ire), i am reporting a second Disconnect at close range...I was attemting to fly my Drone in a wide open area well away from any Air space or Building's which may have WiFi. I was using the Go4 app on my Mobile Phone with the machine just 1Meter away and 1.6 Meter's high. It took a good 4 minuet's before i managed to reconnect with my device which was very Disconcerting. I am beginning to regret paying so much for this machine since I Have been takeing my time following every Tutorial and making sure that I keep all Firm ware up to date. I am afraid to attempt to use any of the advanced feature's of the machine in case the machine Fly's Away by Itself. Please help as i am Rapidly to loosing faith with this product.
+DJI This fly the way points first is a bad idea. Any pilot worth his ticket, will walk the route first before flying and understand the obstacles. If you are an idiot, and don't walk the areas you intend to fly, then you deserve to lose your aircraft. I think this is aimed at amateurs, not professionals, or expert amateurs. I am sorry to say, this is more about cheap programming than safety I think. The android software for the vision 2+ navigation, is far superior to this app.
Can someone explain the difference between "consistent with record" and "consistent with routine." In the video, he says "consistent with route" but the App says "consistent with routine." Kind of weird he didn't explain what they mean, but opened them up and showed them.
"consistent with the record" means that the drone will have the same orientation as when you made the way points. Meaning the front of the drone will be the same as it was when recording the waypoints. "consistent with the route" means that the drone will have the front side first all the time. Meaning it will look forward when flying to the waypoints. I think :)
1 - The music is drowning out the voice. We have to strain our ears to hear what is being said. 2 - Is there no way to just draw this on a map without flying? You will have wasted your batteries (and time) before you start filming. It would be so much handier if you could make several sets of waypoints before you even leave home!
Hy I'm Frederick from Indonesia I See your content on youtube.. I need your help I have a great love for drones but until now I can't have it I need your help I need your donation to reach that dream thank you I'm sorry about my word cause i'm not good in english
how come yourself and nobody else has anything updated on all the new drones, like the Phantom 4 Advanced and Pro. Everything in your videos are out of date. Jesus guys get it together.
this is useless. if i already have to fly the route manually, why bother? others like autel let us tap nav points in map then fly. thats what dji SHOULD do. Leave the choices to your customers.
I think its obvious why you are not able to preset the waypoints on the map. Think about it. There are a lot of idiots out there! This is the smartest way.
Hope dji go4 do as litchi done... Can set waypoint only with draw in map, not more fly it first to record point with c1.... It very manual, and old way i think... Please dji move on...how fool dji think that mision is way point? Trash.... Stupid
Hy I'm Frederick from Indonesia I See your content on youtube.. I need your help I have a great love for drones but until now I can't have it I need your help I need your donation to reach that dream thank you I'm sorry about my word cause i'm not good in english
I watched everyone's videos about DJI's drones and your videos are ancient.
wish i could tap points on map to add waypoints instead of using battery up on a preliminary flight.
+Dazeof Leisure THIS FEATURE IS FOR APM USERS ONLY
+Dazeof Leisure dont forget that dji made the sdk open for anyone a while back. You can get other groundstation apps that will do that in the appstore.
+Dazeof Leisure use the litchi app its a lot better and you can tap way points
Dazeof Leisure why can't they be more like the parrot bebop? DJI needs to take some lessons
Parrot have this software, pick points before you fly the route, dissapointed DJI don't have this
Sick! I can recorded the waypoint to my grandma house (which is 2.5km away)and get an fresh baked cookie without of the hassle of walking/biking over there! This is awesome!
Loved it,,, what no one explained, you nailed it!!!!!!!, thanks a millionnnnnn
thank's for the features 🙏🙏🙌🙌
Users should be able to mark the waypoints into the app. This upgrade is good but it's not as useful as it could.
Please update that possibility and thank you for the new add ons (Y)
Should really add a link to an updated video - i assume things look differently then they did 5 years ago.
such an amazing feature, it alone is everyone reason to get one, especially with the PAN option on screen during flight.
Hi! Is it possible to fly on the same route/course, without the waypoints? (I will use the waypoints in the future).

for the next flight ?
Please, is it possible to make it so that we can name the favorite waypoints? this would be much easier than the date stamp.
thank you
I would have applauded this if only more of the drones still had this sort of feature.
is this feature availble with the DJI Mavic Pro? Will it continue to fly the pre programmed flight path even if it loses either RC control or Video reception or if losing either will it stop the mission and fly back to home? If it continues the pre programmed waypoints flight path if the battery starts getting low is there a way to program it to automatically fly back to home before the battery expires (set a minimum battery level to automatically fly home)?

Litchi is the only way too go for waypoint missions. Fly your Phantom 3 Standard as far out as your battery will allow the bird to return.
But you can save the waypoints for later(hopefully i din't check)
It would almost be laughable if it was'nt so stupid. Oh crap I lost my drone on the SECOND mission.
Are you adding this for the Spark ?
Save battery and just hold the drone in the air and walk to where you want to set waypoints, saves on battery and you get some nice exercise.
Just remember to wear your wellies when walking into the sea... oh and hold the drone high so it doesn't get wet.
@dji at how many per cent shoul I land the p3SE? I read I should discharge it every 20 flights under 8%. But on the other 19 flights?
So you have to fly the drone while setting the waypoints? This is the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time, you may as well call it a "copy" feature. The only time this feature would ever be useful is when you need to record the exact same path multiple times.... which is extremely rare. Introduce pre-flight waypoint planning please.
Why would you want to set points on a 2d map where you can't tell the height of towers or wires or other obstacles you can only see while flying?
I know its been a while since this has been posted and I agree with you all BUT, here's the upside. Your flying your waypoints and notice wires, a pole or something else in your path.

There are other apps like Litchi
What the heck is this good for if I have to fly to each point first?
+Bobster986 yeah - why record and replay - you already did it. So - get the app autopilot for ios and plot the course without flying it first.
Ron Kramer I prefer to just fly manually, I guess I'm just old fashion that way. LOL
Sorry if this is a stupid question, bit of a novice, but can this be done with a Spark to or not?
Thank you!
Why do you have to PRE FLY EACH WAYPOINT? Litchi you can create entire mission on the map live or ahead of time on computer, etc. I hope DJI catches up to this
Agree with the other comments, this a “remember spot” function, not a waypoint function.
Is this function available for Spark drone?
Excellent...
Can the mavic mini do waypoints?
A step in the right direction to be sure. But wasting battery and flight time to get in the air, THEN fiddle with setting waypoints and beginning to fly the course is not quite optimum.
+Bill Farnham true, but it does prevent people from crashing into trees, buildings because of wrong height. If you already have flown the route yourself, you know for sure the the point will be at the correct height. :) morst of the times, unless you fly behind something and set the next point at a lower height.
So we cannot draw a waypoints mission prior to flight, like the old app????!!!!!!
+DJI You shuld make that optional ;)

Whis app can i use to recording the iPhone's screen?
Can you make this waypoint file by hand. Make a simple one, print it out and see how to make a new one by hand.
I have to agree with others -- this should allow the pilot to set mission waypoints before you fly. Having to fly the mission in order to set waypoints, frankly, adds no value for me. I guess it's back to 3DR (with all their faults) until DJI figures this out.
+spleefdowny The app from autopilot allows this
I think its obvious why you are not able to preset the waypoints on the map. Think about it. There are a lot of idiots out there! This is the smartest way.
+Stephan Brown
This makes the aircraft useless for survey work, if you can't pre program your way points.
Jake Roman yep
Porque con esta opción la aeronave vuela mirando hacia una dirección distinta de como se grabaron los Waypoint?
I have phantom 3 standard, I just completely update it. But when I switch the mode to F mode the notification doesn't pup up, I cannot play the flight mode , so sad how can I fix it please?
Is it possible to stop automatic at a waypoint
guys it was not heading the same direction as set...how to do that?
I actually see the value in setting in person as I’ve been doing litchi waypoints and it’s a breeze but if google Maps is 10ft off and you are doing a mission close in, pilots beware as you will slam into something. Just saying

hello bro, just wanna ask something i send back this to china for fixing after two months they sent back to me but the problem is the intelligent flight mode is gone is there anyway i can fix this? pls help thank
the DJI spark can do That?
Where did this function on Mavic air?
Everyone who is saying this is pointless in wrong. Some people fly drones like a plane, this is like making a flight plan.
Sounds like most people here want this to work like Litchi. That's the way it should be.
That's hardly waypoints. That should be called the copy me feature. Useless to me
+TheUofAfan LOL Finally Someone who found the real stupid ness of this feature. This should be called repeat flight path feature, not waypoint. How idiots does DJI think we are?
I love my Phantom 3 pro but the litchi app is way better to use for way points and tracking

1. Consistent with record
2. Consistent with routine
3. Free
+Logan Boyd the record setting points camera to the direction that it was facing when waypoint was recorded, routine points camera in the direction of travel, free allows you to control the direction it is pointing by adjusting yaw while the p3 is tracing the waypoints
Perfect explanation! Thank you. As soon as weather stops being 98° here I will get to try this out a bit more
+Starmaker Media Thanks for that reply - all makes sense now - all we need in UK is some sunshine and its all GO :)
How much better this would be without the "happy clappy" background music on loop!!
Great video, although music was very annoying and distracting. I’d remove it or turn it way down.
This is all a sales pitch. They want you to not be able to pre plan your flight so you waste your battery . That then gets you irritated, and makes you purchase a second. 😉
What a stupid feature. Why can't we mark the waypoints BEFORE we fly them?
