    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!

    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?

    • @nobby-green
      @nobby-green  Месяц назад +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

    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?

    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.
