nicely done. Well presented. Keep up the good work. Might get mine out one day to try it.

Great video and tutorial.

Great video. And remember: if you save the flights (flight plan) and use it later. You need to takeoff from the same position (or actually, the same altitude) as on the first flight. Otherwise your height will be wrong. The height is based on the takeoff position on the current flight.

Great tutorial, I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Very good tutorial ... Thx!

Great Video Thanks

Great video. Not sure if this is an improvement they've made, but, I connected, powered up drone, etc. Began "planning". Then powered off the drone and was able to continue planning the waypoints. So that might be a solution ... saving some drone battery while planning.

Good stuff Thanks!

superb...

thanks great job

Shame on the stutter, dji needs to fix it! The old 3dr solo with cable cam and yuneec curved cable cam rocked it!

agree, should be an seperate app with map you could save waypoint missions and upload when you want, and should be more futures in each waypoint and also curved waypoints not only stright lines whitch make the flight floppy

Pretty good video but like many people they go too fast changing screens so you don't see what your pressing on screen sometimes. Way better then a lot that fly thru screens. Thank ou

2 years since this video, I too cannot select a POI without adding others. I have the smart controller. I also agree that having the ability to sit in your favorite recliner and plot out waypoints without having to have the drone powered on is a no brainer feature. Yet, not available 2 years since this video was posted.

I have the smart controller too now and yes still no real way to do it.

Have not tried myself yet but read and saw somewhere not to make the waypoints to far apart helps the camera jumping. The closer together the better. They had the points just about touching.

Tx Sir. 🙏

First of all you have made a very good video, i haven’t tried waypoints yet but have seen multiple videos like urs, the way to edit POI you have to zoom in so the mark of POI gets bigger and u can select it easily, second thing about the jittery movements of your cameras towards POI, there is a reason for that in your second mission you selected route type Polyline instead Arc, if you have selected Arc then Camera movements also gets smoothers, try that way i hope you find it helpful, for offline waypoint DJI released an iPad app way 2 years back and in that you can do that, great tutorial keep up the good work 👌🏻

This kind of basic stuff so i have to assume they either have no QA department or they just badly run. No idea how this stuff gets out.

Hello Keith, Litchi taught me that if you use curve line as opposed to polyline it’s smooth with no jerky motion, problem is no options at the waypoint like take photo, start video stop video etc, but it dose start and stop recording automatically, Regards, Keith in Canada

That's really cool you don't have to fly and do your mission first with waypoints but there's also a disadvantage.. I know they have obstacle avoidance but think about it wouldn't you want to know if there's anything in your way kind of know how the scene is going to look first before you do and record your way points. At least you know you're not going to hit anyting so I think it's a good practice 2fly where you're going to fly in a circle first.. ;)

When you spoke about arc you didn't mention adjusting the turning radius, when in arc each waypoint has a turning radius option and is adjusted by the usual sliding your finger on the screen, what this radius does is it rounds off the corners when the drone passes a waypoint, the "bug" you refer to is the drone travelling in a straight line to a waypoint then stopping to change direction before continuing to the next waypoint, by adjusting your turning radius at each waypoint you create curves through the corners and a smooth transition between the waypoints and the drone can continue flying smoothly.

May I ask, if you have set the photo settings to continuous or AEB before going into 'Waypoints' and set the camera action to take a photo at a set waypoint, does it take the photo as previously set or is it just a single, regular photo? Many thanks.

Agreed, the jerky motion of the camera using POI makes the mode almost worthless. Also note: if you take off from a hill or rooftop, you cannot set the POI at a negative altitude (though I have heard you can set a waypoint at a negative altitude if you fly it first and use the C button to set the waypoint.) Offline mode would be great and I'd also like to set the course on my iPad, sync it, then load it onto my phone for the actual flight. Thanks for the video.

Its because you are NOT setting an altitude. You are setting a height. And remember if you are setting the waypoints on a flight, save the flight plan, and use it another day, with another takeoff location. Your heights will be wrong (since it is saving heights, not altitude)

Not sure as this is a yr on but if you start editing with waypoints with the Mavic 2 powered on, power down without exiting the ‘mission’ & it still works. Not draining the drone battery 👍👍

It’s a good little hack yes, but it is that a hack, I wish they would produce a dedicated part of the app to do it properly

You can still fly and use button c to record the waypoints as you could with the old mavic. As well as using the map. I found button c optipn useful with trees around after almost hitting one sideways. Opps. So i flew the misson on my own. Missing the trees and recording it with button c and then saving. Also not a great idea to get too close to things. Gps can be slightly out. And you end up hitting something on the flowing flight of a mission.

Selecting point of interest or waypoints was as buggy for me as it was for you. I tried zooming in the map as much as possible and that made it easier. Try it out and thanks for the great tips :)

Try upping the gimbal smoothing parameter... This should rid you of that jello happening with the POI mode. You may have your gimbal smoothness lower and this will cause this to happen... As far as planning flights offline, there IS an app for this... Its called Lichi for DJI...

Hi, thanks, did try gimbal setting, still had the problem. It only happened in waypoints mode. POV mode was fine and yes I use litchi too, Same problem. The recent firmware update though fixed this. Now it’s fine. Taken them 8 months, but it is now very smooth.

Have they ironed out the problems you mentioned and did the Smart Controller improve matters? Interested particularly in the smooth panning when transitioning waypoints.

Just tried this for the first time today, to try and do some testing to do a timelapse over three hours using two Mavic 2's and 2 pilots to capture an incoming tide. Setting up the waypoints doesn't seem a problem but I must be doing something wrong. I have the camera settings set to interval mode with a 5 second delay, but when I take off and press the Go button and slide the start button I am getting a message saying that there is something wrong with the waypoint parameters??

For the POI mode bug did you try slowing down the cruise speed and see if it works?

I set up my daily way point missions at home and save the missions in the app, then I recharge all my batteries so that when I get to the site I just load the missions I programed at home. It works for me. The only other problem, I have is I use the Crystal Sky and the app does not work on it yet therefore I have to use a Mini ipad instead. Hope Dji fixes that problem soon.

How to Get An Awesome Drone Pull Back Shot Using DJI Waypoints 2.0 for the Mavic 2 Series kzread.info/dash/bejne/nnyO3NGpp92fcc4.html

51 Drones has a good video on this... the solution to the jitter is to use a BUNCH of waypoints so the camera adjusts at each one. There's a bit more to it to get it perfect, but basically you have to do a workaround. Yes, the tech should solve this, and most likely will in a future update, but for now there's a way to make it more useable.

Need to add more way points!

Arc mode doesn't change the way the camera moves as told in the video. It changes how the drone flies (smoothen the curves) and makes the movement in the turning points smooth. Waypoint 2.0 is a garbage for sudden flickers in the footage, Litchi used to be better. Unfortunately the issue is in the DJI firmware and Litchi relies on that, therefore Litchi has the same issue now. It used to be flawless last year. DJI should fix it by a firmware update. I'm not very hopeful as waypoints was ready by the launch of the Mavic2 and for testers the drone was shipped with it, then for the commercial version they've disabled it. Strangely enough, the testers did not have the flickering issue in their footage last year September.

Very good explaination. what I had encountered was before my 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.

Sorry this went in to spam comments, only just seen it. The default settings is if the drone loses signal with the controller it will return to home point which it stores in its memory. The drone will always know like the controller when it loses signal. On waypoints you set it to fly the mission then return to the home point. This is uploaded to the drone at the start of the mission and stored on its internal memory. I can confirm it works as it was a very weak signal when it went behind the temple and it carried on. You tell just to return home if it loses signal. I had a couple occasions when’re signal has dropped at its returned to home. The drone

Yes you can, but you can’t set heights correctly. You would have to load the mission up then adjust heights why the drone is on. It’s more a quirk of the app than a offline mode.

Yes, go into waypoint mode and then fly the drone, you can record a waypoint by pressing the C1 button on the controller. This can be saved. I have another video on this channel where I use this method to do a pull back shot.

Lol yes. Litchi is great, has a few quirks but it’s a great alternative to DJI Go 4 and has a few features I wish they would bring to DJI Go 4

Your description of "route type" is incorrect. In both modes the aircraft smoothly rotates to maintain camera angle. The difference is how the aircraft approaches the waypoint. In "arc" the drone will begin the turn before the waypoint, effectively flying an arced turn. In "polyline" the aircraft flies to the waypoint, rotates and flies to the next waypoint.

Ok yes it’s possible, but depending on where you live, you have to keep the drone in line of site. Not sure if DJI including this was wise, as depending on who you talk to, if you can’t connect to the drone then it is probably not in line if site therefore not safe Having said all of that, there is nothing stopping you have it fly from point a to b. It will continue to fly with out been connected to the controller. Not sure you can have two controllers paired with it, so you would have to go through the pairing stage at both locations every time the drone turned up. Also I would have some extra gps tracking on it.

You have to watch out for your settings mostly after any update. I've lost a drone in a mission where signal was lost but I wasn't worried much as I had set it to continue the mission in case of lost signal. Unfortunately a Litchi update came out a few days earlier which I did but forgot to check the settings and of course the update changed the settings so the drone either landed upon lost signal or hovered but I didn't know where it was.

I think there is, but you have to fly to them manually and set them

I left the DJI product line behind. They went from innovation To profit care and being first. Worst support Ever. I ended up going with FREEFLY Systems. The downside to them is that you’re not going to find a “prosumer” drone for $1800-2000 like the Mav2. Won’t happen. However theirs is forever. No worry about the latest right after you just bought. Theirs is forever. So I spent $9000. But I can carry my GH5, or my back magic cinema camera and I don’t have to deal with DJI and their “latest” and greatest they’ve held onto for 3 years. Then launch a year after. And what do we do? We buy that one. So you see you’ve spent several times what I spent just once. DJI cameras can never compete with a black magic 6k. Never. Maybe one day but that will cost ya. Basically what they do is. Whilst the Mavic 2 pro came out there was already a new version to that waiting in the wings. So you see really by the time you deal with their GREED. You can have one drone forever. I’ve spent at least $7000 on multiple drones over the years with DJI. Easily.. why not go for something DJI could never touch or out do. So I went further and blew $14,000 on an Alta 6. Which can carry a small dog. Not that I have.

3dr solo can do this 4 years

Waypoints 2. Shit are for Amateurs, as how do you frame your shot properly & cinematically from a map???, you need to see your frame, you need to adjust your hight, tilt your lens, get the horizon sitting in the correct space, its amateur time. How can you correct the frame if its not framed correctly? you need to see each waypoint frame & adjust accordingly.
