Nobby great tip. I have both Mini 4 Pro and Air 3, so I will try it for sure. Thanks from Mendoza, Argentina.
@@luisjulianmartinelli5369 glad you found it helpful 👍
Thank you for doing this test. I actually contacted DJI support to ask if possible and was emphatically told no. I was literally going to try this exact test myself but saw your video first. Keep up the good work.
@@user-gc5xb1xg1g Surprised that they said no🤷♂️ at least your sorted now 👍 thanks 🙏
Great job. Thank you for sharing your new-found knowledge
@@dump557 you’re welcome glad you found it useful 👍 thanks 🙏
That’s an excellent discovery, man. I really think that’s gonna be a useful feature like you said. Especially if there’s too much wind for the mini 4 pro to cope. Have you thought of going back to the tower to do a dolly zoom comparison with the waypoints you’ve already got saved on there? Mini 4 vs Air 3? That would be cool!
@@WeretheRoberts I did consider that before I did this test. Looks like that’s one for the hopper haha 😜
Nobby. Bathog in Ripley here. I really like the way you think about these things. You give us all some great ideas. You demonstrate them clearly and without any faff.😁 Like you I'm fed up of charging up all the batteries and looking out to see that its raining, despite the weather forecast. Great channel, keep them coming.
@@Bathog44 good old British weather eh? ☺️ thanks for the kind words 👍
Thank you.
@@Brett.Williams365 you’re welcome ☺️ thanks 🙏
Nobby Dave Australia here. Thanks for the video. Any time you want to do Way point mission go-ahead your videos, always clear and concise. Thanks
@@ramroddrone5449 thanks Dave 👍🙏
Great test!! Glad you got a day without rain to try this😃.
In California I was heading out to meet some friends for a morning of fishing. Then we had thunder and lightning and hard rain for 28 minutes then it was sunny again 😂. Thanks for the test.👍🐾🐈⬛🍻👏
@@chriscapune7873 now that’s something I’ve not done for some time 👍 fishing that is thanks 🙏
Excellent find Nobby. Thanks for sorting this out and testing.
@@bobwhitewo3b thanks Bob 👍 it’s a great useful feature ☺️
Unfortunlly I do not fly my mini 2 as much as i wish, but i bought the Litchi app to cover some necessites and i love it.
@@walpt great stuff 👍 and the mini 2 is still a great drone thanks 🙏
I'm glad you done this video as i have Waypoints on my Air 3 and have connected my Mini 4 Pro to same controller and was going to see if it works and you've just answered my quarry, many thanks
@@richardcrouch356 looks like your luck was in then 😁 thanks 🙏
Never mind (rosadannadanna, lol) air 3 & mini pro 4 UNDERSTOOD.
I was wonderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring. Now I see, HAHA
Ray C.
@@Air_Devil_Leader_One good man 👍 😁
Nice one mate i used to use the litchi waypoints it was brilliant as you could plan on your pc then upload to the drone
@@johnnymac26 yes that’s a good feature on litchi. You can do them from home on the controller 👍
Hi Nobby I never tried waypoints will have give this a go, thanks for the info on how to setup waypoints, If flying in a straight line and at the end of the waypoint can you fly back on that same waypoint like say 1 to 2 then 2 to 1?
Yes you can indeed. you would have to set 4 waypoints, 1 at start, 2 at the end, then 3 at the end, then 4 at the start again if that makes sense? See the card in the video for a detailed explanation on waypoints
The thing that annoys me is that waypoint missions that I’ve set up in Litchi cannot be imported into the DJI system to use with the new drones which don’t work with Litchi
@@fj1100mark what file extension are the litchi files?
whats your dji model ?
@@walpt I have several. Mini 2, mini 3pro, air 2s, Mavic 3, mini 4 pro, Air 3. 👍
Just tried that as there is a converter utility around, but it has also a very difficult manual process and I finally gave up when the security features of my smartphone denied to show the target folders for copy operations. One may need more advanced file management apps... 🤔
@@abluesbrother68 can be tricky but I guess it’s difficult when converting different file formats 👍
It is such a pity that DJI did not give us the option to export out the mission file to share with another user
@@patrickwilliams6464 funny you should mention that 🤔 I’m working on that idea 👍 thanks 🙏
Great test! Never thought about that! (Maybe because I only have 1 drone.) - But could you please also clarify: did you start the 2 drones from the exact same spot? Given the fact that the height is measured from the drone's take-off location, a recorded mission would actually end up flying higher /lower if the drone was started from another spot (e.g. the top of your car as opposed to the ground). Or am I mistaken?
@@RobertWildling both taken off from the same spot 👍 thanks 🙏
If you start your drone for a second fly a few meters away from the initial starting point, do you get the same result or it will add a little offset to the video?
@@LegatDeClujLDC no it should fly to the first waypoint 👍
@@nobby-green it does, but there is a little offset in the videos. They don't align perfectly.
@@LegatDeClujLDC I wouldn’t worry about that that’s probably video editing 👍
Do you have any plans to try out DJI Cellular Dongle 2 and mount kit with the Mini 4 ? I am tempted and have it saved in my dji basket , but would like to see a normal user testing it first lol
@@uptowndisco2 that is coming from these guys for sure.
@@uptowndisco2 yes possibly. One of the problems is using the dongle on the mini 4 pro takes it over the 249gm ☺️
@@nobby-green a worry to some 😉👍
@@nobby-green Hi Nobby , I decided to go for it so that is the Dongle 2 and the mini 4 mount on order , the holder is expected to ship later in the month , the Dongle 2 is a couple of days away from shipping . I am hoping to be able to use dongle with my Mavic 3 as well .
@@uptowndisco2 great stuff 👍 not sure if it will work with the Mavic 🤷♂️ you will have to keep me updated 👍 thanks 🙏
My mate is about to upgrade to a Mini 4. Is it possible for me to export the waypoints on my Mini 4 Controller to his Mini 4 Controller?
BTW us young hip RUclipsrs call them “episodes”. Video is so 1990’s
😂😂😂
@@frankinblackpool haha. Clicky hip brigade. There is a way I’m just working this out at the moment. 👍 I’ll keep you posted
Much like Litchi had or has a user community who share flight plans to use with any Drone compatible with Litchi , I have often use shared flight plans when visiting outwith my local areas . I don't know if DJI has a similar share feature ?
@@uptowndisco2 not to my knowledge. You can save the missions from the memory so shouldn’t see why you can’t share them 👍 thanks 🙏
dji has Flighthub 2 but it's only for enterprise drones
Interesting video.
The fact that You had to do this test smells poor or none existing DJI system documentation. Test and win, or test and lose the drone... DJI should do better.
Anyway, it's clear that the controller is doing all of the flying, giving the craft the directives how/where to go.
Guess that the joysticks on the controller are bypassed, not operable, during a waypoint flight.
@@Stefan_Boerjesson indeed yes. That’s why I conduct these tests. Once set, waypoint missions are autonomous although you can stop them at anytime 👍
@@nobby-green Yes, aborting, or stopping, is possible I understand.
What I would try is the Classic 3 & Mini 3 Pro.
Also copy the file to the RC 2 and then try it on the mini 4 Pro.
That would be more interesting to see if they work there as well.
I bet it would????
@@Air_Devil_Leader_One unfortunately the mini 3 pro doesn’t have waypoints only in the hyperlapse mode. But I am working on one from the classic 👍
Hya Nobby,
What you never told us is what controller did you use?
The mini 3 uses the RC 1 & Mini 4 uses the RC 2 so how did you do that?
I never knew you can fly both and with what controller?????????
Ray C.
@@Air_Devil_Leader_One the RC2 Ray 😁
