This is awesome, I was under the impression you had to fly the waypoints before making them and not that you could do what you have shown (Just using the remote, drone off and pre setting the way points)
I have spent many hours trying to figure out how to plan from home without the drone in the air but couldn't figure it out so I thank you very much for the solution. But it all seems very complicated, I need to fly to a saved point from a position nearby that I don't know exactly until I'm at the actual location, photograph the location manually again because I don't know what it looks like, then RTH, can it be done? I think many people need this, which is analogue to using your GPS in your car, simple and straightforward, but maybe not ‘smart enough’ for DJI..
I have the down loaded map displayed on RC 2 but when touch the satellite view button it wouldn't switch. Is there something I need to do to get it to switch? Thanks for the video.
In order to take photos, you need to make sure that you have the drone pause at each waypoint for a few seconds(default is 0), and then also in settings for that waypoint you select take photo instead of record. If you mean altitude, you can adjust that for each waypoint in settings too. The map that you plan on also assists with GPS coordinates when the waypoints mission is loaded in the drone. Thanks!
@@RichardUttingSharpshootingUK When you plan a waypoints mission and open a waypoint setting, the first option is CAMERA ACTION which defaults to NONE.(Look at TIME 1:53 in this video) But you can also select "Take Photo" or "Start Recording." Also in this vid look at time 2:44 and note that "Hover" is 0s or zero seconds. Change "HOVER" to how many seconds you want drone to pause at that waypoint and change CAMERA ACTION to "Take Photo"
Subscribed. . .This step by step video is exactly what I need as a new drone pilot. Thank you. What I really need is GPS coordinate way point to locate specific POI. Example: once you're in the forest under heavy cover, device GPS isn't accurate but drone is above tree canopy. Drone with strobes can be used to locate ecact POI from the ground, for example. A drone that ran out of battery and landed in forest and sent landing way point before touching down. Any way to program GPS coordinate ? Thank you
You just cut to the chase; no side chat, babble or unneeded info. Mad the tutorial fantastic. Thank you. ( wonder what people with RC-N2 controller do to make waypoints)
I have a problem that I haven't been able to figure out, maybe you have seen it. When I turn the RC on to plan a wpt flight, the map is large like the whole world and I keep having to shrink the display many times to get to my location.
Really nice, straightforward tutorial that will save time... and battery life on the Air 3!

Brilliant, I actually understood that..Thanks..👍👍
Nice one, thanks for sharing this 👍🏻

Such a great video! Just subscribed! Thank you

That was very informative, thanks. I have a question, does this work the same for the first RC?
Is there an open source application on the laptop to perform a flight mission AIR 3
?
If you mean something like LITCHI, then no, there is not.
Thank you, would love to see the drone’s flight of that mission.😊
Great tutorial! Can Waypoints be used to take still photos? Also, how do you assign GPS coordinates to each Waypoint? Thx.

How do you set the pause mate? I definitely want one do that to make camera still for photo. Thanks man

@@jemadv1594 Thanks. Perhaps someone else can address your question since I am not sure of what you are asking.
Nice

Thanks. No where in the manual could I find this help. Shame there's not a useful forum on these things.
Glad I could assist!
Great video, path set. But how do you action this, start the flight, but how do I tell the drone to go fly the path
please watch my other tutorial: ruclips.net/video/Bwq0NsCGCoY/видео.html

Have you tried using POI,
What’s with the doom music?
Nice video! ….but it’s not a slanted letter i, it’s a pencil. 😂
Yeah, someone pointed that out to me on another tutorial I did. And thanks!
can you set a POI with the air 3 like you do with the mavic 3? Nice Video.
Yes you can! I just didn't set one on this demonstration. Thanks!
Can waypoints be used for a purely vertical flight?
I have never tried that!
not possible in europa? there is a message - drone is not flying... during add a waypoint
That may be a restriction in your country. You MIGHT be able to plan it with drone powered on but not flying. Good luck!
Wish you would have flown it
I still haven't flown that waypoints flight!!
