WAYPOINTS 2.0 on DJI Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom Tutorial (FW Update 0.300)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- Months after the release of the Mavic 2 Pro & Zoom and we finally have the "Waypoints 2.0" intelligent flight mode added. It comes with the new 0.300 firmware update that fixes some bugs and improves stability of Mavic 2 drones. The waypoints feature itself is quite good, with plenty of options and settings to tweak in order to make it work for you. Watch this Mavic 2 Pro Waypoints 2.0 tutorial to see how waypoints work and I hope you enjoy the video :)

Waypoints! Finally. I hope you guys enjoy the video, if you did - please like & comment & share with your drone pals. Much appreciated. Have a lovely weekend :)
Drone Supremacy can you make a mission off line? Or must you be connected to the drone?
Oh nice! Thanks. How do you go about it? I can open waypoints without the drone connected.
I'm hoping that you may be able to answer a few questions.
1) does APAS work in waypoint mode?
2) if APAS is enabled in waypoint mode, will the mavic avoid obstacles that are in between 2 waypoints?
3) if the mavic is flying sideways due to a POI, will the side sensors detect the obstacle?
An improvement that I would suggest on waypoint is that the app should be able to calculate if there is enough battery power to finish the mission (assuming that one starts the mission with a full charge). I wonder what would happen if the battery runs low within the mission.
FYI: If you set the route to "ARC" there's an "Arc Radius" setting associated with each waypoint and it's defaulted to a very small value, which is essentially a slightly rounded corner on the otherwise segmented straight line path from one waypoint to the next. If you expand the radius out by dragging then you can cause the lines to flow smoothly with sweeping curves, like a Bezier curve, giving a less jerky motion at each waypoint. I haven't quite figured out what the "Unable to perform camera action with route set to ARC" message is actually trying to point out.
Great video, thanks for sharing this new feature, looks very power and useful!
Cannot wait to try it out. My first drone is here and ready for holidays. Keep up the good work
Is it possible to save waypoints/route during a flight with different caméra angle ?
Nice, straight forward video explaining waypoints. Thanks! :)
Great tutorial; thanks for all those the helpful tips!
Thanks a lot buddy. Very good tutorial
Nice tutorial video. Many thanks.
Great tutorial. Nice to be able to plot the flight without killing the battery. If the weather ever clears up I'll have to try this out!
Great tutorial Mike, cheers
Thank you, I always learn something
is it possible to have the drone adjust its flight - automatically - based on the topography data provided by the map?
Nice tutorial on how to use Waypoints 2.0. And thanks for sharing.
Very clear and helpful. Thanks very much, Mike.
Great video and information thanks for sharing 👍👍🇬🇧
Great job! I too had trouble with selecting a POI without creating a new one. I ended up with a boat load of POI's and had to start over. Imagine if you really wanted 2 POI's near each other so that you can adjust the gimbal pitch from one waypoint to the next. My guess is that it would be very difficult to select either one without creating a bunch more. All in all I'm happy we have something to play with, and hopefully with future updates DJI will make this competitive to Litchi.
Good info. Looking forward on getting The New M2Pro.
That was good. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video and demonstration mate! Super cool feature man. A whole world is opening :) peace yo!
Thanks dude 🙌🏻 have fun!
Hi Mike. Can you please help me out here. I am unable to manually control the gimbal whilst it's on a Waypoints mission. This is a very important feature for me as I would like to set the mission and manually control the gimbal according to the view seen in the camera. Is there any setting to enable this? Thanks Dave
Thanks for the video bro! Gonna try it out tomorrow!
Welcome! let me know how it goes ;)
App (android) allows to create my route with 20 waypoints and 9 POI. But is unable to transfer it to Mavic 2 Pro. Looks like memory limit. Can you try such scenario? Also camera movement sucks sometimes when flying around POI through 2+ waypoints sticked to it
Your video well. Thank you ,
By the way Can the altitude be controlled, during flight?
Great tut!
What keeps me from programming it beyond batt limit? regular RTH?
Also, where is the CENTER of the waypoint? the middle or the arrowpoint coming off the circle?
Great explanation Mike, thanks from the UK
Thank you, do you have to put the done on when you create the way Points? Thank you....
thanks bro , great video =))
The best tutorial ever!
Awesome tutorials, Greetings from Malaysia
Well done, you have given me a project for this weekend
Happy flying dude!
There is no update available for M2 zoom, my latest is 1.00.02
Can you tell me if we can take a picture while recording video ? It is not clear if we can actually do it. In the task there is an option to take picture but what it happens if we are already recording video ?
That's awesome!! Now you can just plan and not kill the battery at the same time. Plan now, fly more on site. 😍😍
Impressive will give this a shot
Great video, new to drone photography and new to Waypoints 2.0...what happens if there is a obsticle between lets say point1 and poin2 higher than the hight set ?
Thank you
Thank you very much for posting this video. I’ve been waiting for this feature to be available within the DJI app so I can let go of autopilot and litchi. However I am not at all happy with it. Footage is shaky and transition around the waypoints is very rough. On you vídeo i notice that just as the drone leaves waypoint one, footage is very shaky. I hardly ever get any of this shakiness with autopilot and/or litchi. I will try more tasks .
Nice job !
In about few minutes I'll start testing by following your directions. I'll come back with the results. Thanks for sharing
I did everything like in this tutorial but I forgot to start recording , even though my first point was set to start recording and the last one to stop recording. When I looked into the memory cards there was no recording, both memory cards empty, I don't know why...
Mike, do you need to have the drone "ON" and/or up in the air to be able to set up waypoints? i ask cause on Litchi you can plan missions while the drone is OFF and even via the litchi flight hub on any computer/tablet which is pretty convenient. Thanks!
Can you manually change the camera angle as its moving ?
Hi,
Thanks for sharing your experience - very helpful!! Wow, what a powerful tool! Can’t wait to test it myself.
Just wishing DJI would re-implement that good old course lock feature on the Mavic 2 I had with the old Mavic 1.
Even if it was higher than it should’ve been really cool I love the details. Thank you
that looks like a really neat feature they added with waypoint
Do you know if it still calculate rth from the battery left and do rth if battery is low... i mean if you plan a route that it cant do when the current battery left
Really helpful! Maybe a “fail” for you BUT truly informative for me. Helped me understand the value and application of WayPoints. I’m often studying rooftops. So your height selection sparked a lot of great ideas for me; WayPoints to capture rooftop gardens, pools, decks, solar arrays, and cell towers. Best lesson? Plan my WayPoints at home and save time in the field. Thanks!!
Huge Thanks Brother, (F.F.LLC from Colorado ) you made it look easy to master.
Hi Mike,
The other thing I did not see with the new waypoint is the ability to create a mission while you’re flying the drone, like the old way, but this time you would be able to save it and use it multiple times.
How come I dont see waypoint on my mavic 2? I have apple devices and I don't see it. Is there a reason? Just updated the firmware today
hi thanks for the new update video! i was wondering if i can use some of your footage to show korean about the new updates on my channel i will comment i took your video to on my channel with your channel introduction please let me know thanks
Can a new waypoint be inserted between two existing waypoints? Can the mission be transferred from an iPad 2 to a DJI Smart Controller?
oh man, if I had to go through all of that with my spark, I would have gone through 3 batteries lol Great vid. Cheers mate.
That's why you do it offline at home. But us lowly DJI owners can't use the official DJI waypoints with have to use a unofficial litchi app what a absolute sucker punch from DJI @dji
Great tutorial.
Thanks a lot mate!
Hi. Thank you for a great video. It makes me wonder if I can use Waypoints to assist my Mavic 2 Zoom in going from my house on the side of a small mountain to the top of the mountain. I can see the tower at the top from my driveway. There are no obstructions. As the crow flies the tower is about 1 1/2 miles away from my house with an elevation rise of about 800 feet. In other words, will the Mavic 2 Zoom GPS know how to keep the drone above the trees or will I have to fly manually and not use Waypoints or maybe TapFly. Do you have any suggestions? Maybe too FAA restrictions (500 ft.) would prevent the drone from increasing its altitude by 800 ft. from the launch site, not sure. It would only be about 200 feet above the ground all the way up.
Was that speed effect in the verry begining a edited effect or a Drone one?
how to adjust camera zoom ratio with waypoints?
Need some instructional advice, please. I tried Waypoints on my MAVIC 2 Pro for the first time last weekend. I followed all the steps - set the point of interest, set each waypoint, pointed toward the point of interest, set to take a photo at each waypoint. When I launched my saved file, it went to each point but afterward I looked for the images and only saw a video of the entire route. Why didn’t it take photos like I set it to?
Thanks!
well done👏
Thanks Felix!
Wonder if they will do it for other drones..
Good as Thanks
Im still amazed about the permission landing. adjusts its self like it has eyes, crazy
What is that little color square in the bar with the AF/MF and Capacity?
When D-LOG M is activated, the image on your phone looks very desaturated. By tapping that little color square you'll see what a color grade of your footage might look like (more contrast & saturation) while still recording D-LOG M files.
Mike, always love your videos as they are full of value so thank you! Unrelated question though, I see you're in your car with the remote. Are there any downsides to this? losing signal while in the car as it doesn't appear that your antenna are pointed at the drone? thanks again!
Hey Don! Never had issues with the signal when flying from inside the car with the Mavic 2 Pro. Occusync 2.0 really does work wonders, because with other drones (Mavic Air, Spark) I couldn’t even think about it.
Very nice movie, thx Mike! I fly from my car with Mavic AIR (FCC Mode) - 2 km without signal problem!
Is the WP altitude absolute (above sea level) or relative (to the drone's home location)? If it is relative, to reuse a WP route at the same elevation, you have to launch from the exact same elevation as last time?
Mike rocks!
Great video. RIP Litchi
When I lay down a waypoint and then try to tap to edit it i get another waypoint. It’s very annoying.
Mike is the man!!!
Haha thanks bud! Appreciate the love :)
Try Ground station pro app instead of waypoints on your new Mavic 2 with Go 4 App. Love to see how well it works with the Mavic 2 cause it’s awesome with the Mavic Pro .
Hi Mike - Nice Video! Can you just have one waypoint? Like taking off and flying consistently to one point and taking a photo?
Yes you can, it can be very simple :)
To get epic drone shot, you have to control drone and gimbal at the same time and you know it's not easy to do. this mode change the game. Thanks a lot.
Hey I really think you've done a great video tutorial about Waypoints 2.0. I really thought it was extremely useful! But I have a question about one of the settings you chose in the portion of the video that talks about "Route Settings". You're setting of "Continue Task" under "No RC Signal Action" doesn't make sense to me. If the aircraft loses signal and possibly doesn't re-gain connection (maybe you dropped the controller on the ground and it broke or for some random reason it just isn't able to re-gain connection) Wouldn't you want it to"Return-to-Home" instead of wandering aimlessly until the battery dies?
You're right, he has the thing set to "hover" after it completes the tasks specified, which means that if it loses the signal it'll finish off the waypoint route and then hover in place until the battery dies. The ability to operate without a radio signal is extremely powerful, but presumably you'd want to make sure the drone knows to go home the moment it finishes the tasks.
Mike, started to create some missions but thought it would be great if you did a vid on the route settings screen, specifically the arc/poly line and the all waypoint direction fields showing what all the options do and how they affect the aircraft during the mission! Hopefully you’ll do this as it seems to be the only area that can be complicated understanding DJI’s thought process. As a side note I noticed that you can still create missions with the mavic turned off to save battery power, after entering the waypoints screen in the app. Thanks Mike!
"only area that can be complicated understanding DJI’s thought process" LOL I haven't found much that isn't, even purchasing from the store!
Hey - Love the video - BUT can you set waypoints manually like the original mavic - I think its stupid setting waypoints via a map as you can frame your shot - is there a way to set accurately your frame height to get a perfect frame after all videography is a visually sport not a plotting art you make on a map?? Please, your knowledge will be very appreciated.
Has the CrystalSky app been updated?
Can you fly your drone to a specific position, stablish the altitude, camera angle, etc., and "mark" that as a waypoint in the App? Or is the map the only way to stablish your flight route? Because looking at the map only is very imprecise, and you can encounter tree branches, or antennas, or any obstacle that wasn t in the map, resulting in a crash!
yes you can.. fly to the spot and press C1 button to add the waypoint..
Thanks a lot for the information. i will try it as soon as I have an opportunity to go fly. I am very excited to hear this!
cool love it thanks for the intel, hope they do the same for the mavic air
Fingers crossed! It's been a while since they've added something as big as this to the Mavic Air, hope it comes!
Gymbal abnormal vibration issues do not get this s..... 400 aus to fix
Hi Manny here from Malaga Andalucia Spain, very usefull tutorial, very nice explaint , will follow your instructions as soon as I got my brand new Mavic 2 Zoom to create a nice footage, i try always to see your videos, keep going like that, and at last I'm curious from witch country you are, cause your English is excelent...😉😎
Thank you! I'm from Bulgaria :)
Outstanding Mike. Can you control the gimbal while it's executing the route?
Yes you can! :) It's a great little feature.
Hi, do you have the waypoints on the smart controller from dji?
Not yet, unfortunately. I’m making a video about it later today!
Hi!! Can you tell me why does the drones footage always look choppy whilst it's in the turn orbit?. I just purchased the zoom and I'm also excited with this upgrade. Please let me know if this is normal and how can it be rectified. Thanks!
Steve Da Cruz I had this with a Spark and could not find the answer. Now I am on Mavic 2 Pro and still the same. Tried so many ‘solutions ‘ but stil not cured. It’s more apparent on certain style shots. Perhaps my brain is skipping frames!
Another Great video Mike.... Hope the Android DJI GO4 app is released real soon, really want to try this.
It was released in Google Play on 1/24
@@danman32 not with the waypoints?.. I updated today.. no waypoints
I have a smart controller and cannot see / find waypoints ? Im guessing
after reading some posts that it being Android then its not available.
would that be correct ? And if so do you know when it'll be available..
Right its pretty fucked up how we have to way to use our expensive drone. Also they shouldn't drop a update for just ios Then later android that pisses me off like really dji!!!!!
Thank you Mike...this is next level... Could you also please help us use way points on moving objects or on ourselves so that we can leave the controller aside and automatically capture great shots and videos!!
For moving objects "Active track" would be the appropriate mode to use :)
Nice work! MAN, I've been missing that feature. Can't wait to play with it. ..... just have to wait for the Android update (all my unites are Android - I'm an Apple disbeliever).
Thanks Peter!
I've heard some Android people have the update already, some other - don't. Let's hope it drops for everyone ASAP, the feature is worth it :)
During a waypoints flight, if you lose communication between the controller and drone, can you click ignore and the flight will continue on its own and still follow the waypoints?
Logically how would you be able to do that if you lost communication? However if you watched the video, you can decide what it should do: continue task, hover, go to home point or land.
Nice
not using smart controller?
Nice video Mike. It looks like 164 ft is the max hight. Is that right? Also. Can you change the hight during a mission? Just thinking if you set the hight wrong you can lift it up during the mission if you need to.
Not sure Bob, I’ll have to further test it so I can give a definitive answer 🙌🏻
has air too?
How do you get the firmware with Waypoint 2.0? I just updated my Mavic 2 Pro to the latest firmware and I still don't have WayPoint 2.0. Any idea?
You need to update the DJI Go4 App too. If you're using Android there might be a delay in the Play store, so be sure to have version 4.3.12 for waypoints 2.0
You have to update your GO4 app. Only IOS has been released, Android GO4 app is not released yet..... Mike explains this in the beginning..
Android version is 4.3.13 released 1/24. At least that's when I got it from Google Play on both my HTC phone and Samsung Tab S3.
U deserve a new subscribe! ME!
Well done bro!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great video... But side note... Love that jacket. What's the brand?
Cant see this option on Australian version ?
The updates on Android come slower, and you should update both the firmware if the drone and update the app. It should be available in the next 24h
Why it wasn’t smooth when it gets to another point?
It would be nice if we could import missions from Litchi into DJI Go4App. Where does it save the waypoints to? If it is the phone and I switch to a tablet do I loose my waypoint settings? DJI should come up with a web based version of Waypoints so we can plan routes and download them to our app.
Agree all the way. Litchi has it figured out when it comes to planning a mission. Hopefully DJI will follow, because planning on a tiny phone screen is not ideal
GSpro 2.0 has it for Mavic 2 but that's iOS only.
Hi Mike.
I resolved my iPad Mini 4 issue.
For those who are having a problem with waypoints not showing up on your iPad Mini 4 (as I did) , what you will need to do to make it show up, is to uninstall/reinstall the DJI GO 4 app and that worked.
Cheers,
Sam
Thanks for sharing the solution Sam!

Hi Mike,
I just found out that Waypoint 2 delivers another custom function to either the C1 or C2 buttons of your Mavic 2 remote, and that is Navigation. If you set C1 to Navigation, then here is how you can create a mission while flying.
(1) Put your bird in the air;
(2) Open the Waypoints flight mode;
(3) Fly your bird to the first waypoint;
(4) Press the C1 button on your remote controller. This will insert your first waypoint.
(5) Fly your bird to the next waypoint and press C1 again. This will insert the next waypoint.
(6) Repeat step five until you complete your mission.
(7) Save your mission;
(8) Now you can go back to edit the mission and adjust the parameters that you want.
Let’s say drone following waypoints along coastal road 30 feet above ground. Then next waypoint off cliff 70 feet high.
Do you have to reset altitude estimating how high you are from bottom of cliff to keep drone from dropping down to new lower ground? How can you keep drone at same level going off cliff if you have no idea how high cliffs are?
Altitudes are always relative to takeoff, plus or minus a few feet.
