Thanks for all the great information. You do a super job at filling in the gaps in the DJI manual. Would rather watch/listen to someone like you rather than this Drone Deer Recovery pyramid scheme folks. Keep up the good work and keep flying that very capable Mavic 3T. Thanks for your advice on the light. I ordered one and it will be here on 04JAN2024. I may be reaching out.

Man, thanks so much. That’s some high praise. Means a lot.

Mavic 3T supports augmented homepoint but won't drop an estimated pin down on something you're looking at and it makes me shake my head. I get it doesn't have a laser range finder, but it should be "good enough". It's a pain to have to fly directly over the object or to manually drop a pin over the Map where you think the object is. ATAK UAS tool has no issues operating this way on the M3T with a marginal degree of error, and UAS tool doesnt even officially support the M3T.

Excellent point, especially since you have “view pinpoint” and it clearly works well. I think it would work if you set a pin at the intersection of the camera projected view and some reference plane(spheroid) such as 0 AGL or the known topography(we do have terrain follow modes in the autonomous modes and may have to download the terrain map). I’ll add it to my list to discuss with DJI.

Hey Rufus, i'm thinking about getting a Mavic 3T and was wondering if we could load it into ATAK using UAS tool but there's practically no articles on how/if this will work with the 3T. Is is straight forward to load in the 3t with ATAK? I'm new to ATAK/UAS etc so have only limited knowledge to date but am a quick learner if i have an article/video to follow. Cheers

Awesome video. I'm setting up a training for our team next weekend and I'll be using some of your tips. Thanks!

@@KelvinFPV The problem is even if you use a messenger service(Teams, WhatsApp, etc) to send your exported(I have a video for that) KML file of your pins, there is no way for your fellow pilot to import it into his system. That’s where a system like Flighthub might be handy. But the cost of Flighthub is ridiculous for smaller teams.

One thing you can do, if you already have pins saved and want to share with another pilot, is to make a simple waypoint mission using those pin locations. Then share the waypoint file type and your other Pilot will be able to import that.

Great video, alot of good tips. I am having an issue maybe you can help me with. When I fly my DJI M3T and set pinpoints, they do not show up on subsequent flights. The next "number" shows up, but the previous ones are not listed when I long press the pin button. Any idea why this could be?

Came across this comment again, hope you got the latest firmware(Aug ‘23) which fixes the disappearing pinpoints.

Thanks fro this. One thing, can you set the drone to fly automatically back to a pin, or is this manual. Do the pins always stay there afterwards. So if you return, you can repeat the same flight pattern using the pins. Thanks.

@STRThermal

You cannot autonomously fly to a pin(without making a route to its position), you can use "View pinpoint" to face the pin and set your heading. Pins always stay and will be there the next time you power up(there was a firmware that broke this. I reported the issue to DJI and they fixed it on the subsequent firmware(Aug/Sept 2023)). Pins are just a way to mark and find your way back to a point of interest(deer, lost dog, lost human, etc).

Are the pin point will more accurate if we use an rtk module with drtk 2 base station? After take the coordinates from the pin point

@STRThermal

7 ай бұрын

Great question. I will first state that I am not an RTK expert but from the fundamentals the answer is yes. With the RTK, the drone will know its position more accurately, and thus the pins set at the drone position or on the ground(from map view) will be, likewise, more accurate.

Is it possible to accurately draw the boundary lines between four pinpoints and mark the area for mapping? Currently, I place four pinpoints, for example, at the four corners of a house, to understand the boundaries. Then, I need to choose a mission and try to fit the mapping area between the marked pinpoints. However, this is not always completely accurate. This is somewhat problematic because when I try to set the mapping corner boundaries, a pinpoint is automatically selected/marked, and the mapping point is not placed.

@STRThermal

3 ай бұрын

Unfortunately you can’t set your map corners to actual existing pinpoints. And if you have pinpoints, it won’t let you set a mission corner where the pinpoint already is. You can create an area and use that directly for your mapping mission but you can’t adjust those corners to exact GPS coordinates like you can a pinpoint. DJI should allow mission points to be set at existing pins or edited for accuracy but I suspect they realized corner accuracy is not important for mapping as you’re usually using overlap to adjacent properties to get all the images you need. But for waypoint missions where you’d like to be precise, I think it would be valuable to be able to select existing points or edit points. I hope that answers your question.

Can the icon be dragged anywhere on the map and provide coordinates that could be reported to emergency services for search and rescue? 4:08

Yes it can! And there’s a shareable QR code that anyone can scan and get a Google Maps link to the point. If you have a lot of points that you need to share, you can export a kml file of all the points.

No, not that I know of.

Do you know how to set a flight pattern that the aircraft can fly autonomously? I'm trying to fly a grid pattern for surveying my ranch and counting pigs and exotics. When I setup a flight pattern, I can't set the altitude without it adjusting my grid spacing. When is et my altitude at 150', it makes my grid spacing so close together that it would take 9 hrs to fly 700 acres. Any help on this would be great! Thanks

@STRThermal

2 ай бұрын

As you increase route altitude, your field of view increases and reduces the time. For 700 acres, as you stated, at 150 ft AGL its about 8 hrs ish. It would take 3.5 hrs using the thermal field of view at 325ft AGL and standard overlap(in the advanced settings). You could reduce the overlap and save well over an hour. Are you hoping to count the thermal signatures after the fact from the collected images or live?

I don't have a video myself and most of the ones on KZread will be for the standard consumer Mavic 3, not the enterprise. But if you've done the regular "Area Route"/Mapping mission, the waypoints is pretty straight forward. You can choose start record, stop record at certain waypoints, you can use manual yaw and gimbal angle or set the yaw to "follow route" and the gimbal to a set angle(90 degrees). The latest manual also now covers these methods in details. dl.djicdn.com/downloads/DJI_Mavic_3_Enterprise/20240411/DJI_Mavic_3E_3T_User_Manual_EN.pdf
