Capturing Cinematic Footage with DJI Mavic 3 Waypoints:
Here's a simplified guide to get you started:
1. Plan Your Route:
Visualize: Imagine the flight path and the shots you want. Sketch it out if needed.
Start & End Points: Decide where your drone will take off, capture footage, and return.
2. Setting Up Waypoints:
DJI Fly App: Open the app and ensure your Mavic 3 is connected.
Waypoint Mission: Find the Waypoint icon (refer to DJI Fly App manual if needed).
Plotting Points: Tap on the map to set your first waypoint (starting position).
Adding Waypoints: Tap the "+" icon to add subsequent points for your desired flight path.
3. Waypoint Settings (Optional):
Tap a Waypoint: You can adjust parameters like altitude, speed, camera angle, and actions (e.g., capture photo at this point).
Gimbal & Camera: Set camera settings like shutter speed, ISO, and gimbal movements (smooth transitions between points).
4. Preview & Safety Check:
Review Flight Path: Use the map view to confirm your waypoints create the intended flight path.
Environment Check: Ensure a clear flight path free of obstacles throughout the mission.
5. Initiate Flight:
Double-check Settings: Verify everything is set as planned (battery level, wind conditions, etc.).
Start Mission: Once satisfied, press the "Start" button in the DJI Fly App.
Bonus Tip:
Practice First: If you're new to waypoints, try a simple mission in a safe, open area before venturing into complex shots.
Remember: Refer to the DJI Mavic 3 user manual for detailed instructions and safety guidelines for waypoint missions.
