A message from an old drone flyer at the age of 82 from Thailand.Thank you very much. May I say that this is one of the best tutorials to lead all guys who fly DJI Mavic2 be able to understand and enjoy fly IFM-Waypoint 2.0 successfully. But make certain that the height of every WP must be safely set, higher than all the obstacles along every the route. Lucky flying, guys.
Wow! Great job! I appreciate a articulate and intelligent person that is to the point. You answered my question about the Go4 app having waypoints for the mavic pro 2...
Damn, that's cool. It's great that you can select points on your device before the drone takes off, but I've got a Phantom 3 Standard, so you need to manually fly to each point and set it I believe.
WOW DJI!!!! Well thought out way points Intelligent modes. This in itself makes this my next MAVIC drone purchase. Are you capable of setting the zoom the way you can set camera angle? Can you control the camera and drone without stopping the way point's task? What an excellent video, again. Thank you for not having your intro volume set to max volume. Love your concise teaching ability. Thank you!
Boy great instructional video. Just was able to up date my GO4 app on my Smart Controller and now can fly Waypoints. Very similar to Litchi which I have but haven't used for awhile....
Vey well described. Other tutorials did not go into all the settings and instead mostly showed drone footage with voiceover (nice to look at but not really useful to be confident using the feature and know where and what the controls do). Nice work. :)
For those who are having a problem with waypoints not showing up on your iPad Mini 4, 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
I guess you need to be connected to the drone whilst creating the way points? it would be useful if you could do this on the phone before connecting to the drone. Is that possible?
Awesome video on waypoints. Thanks for taking the time to make it. Wondering if you can do this before flying the aircraft from home rather than needing the aircraft powered on and connected.
Hey Can you fly to interesting points, adjust drohne, camera and save as a waypoint (with height, camera direction and camera angles) and then connect it to an flight. would be a more visual, video orientated workflow. i'm new to drones and have zoom ...
Can you pre-plan your flight without having to switch the drone ON with the new smart controller? If this is not possible how should position the drone mode to avoid its fan to constantly run? At the end of any waypoint task pre plan both the drone and the smart controller gets pretty hot....thanks
Ok. I got it now. I had to update the App, and I hadn t done that. I will have to try this new functionality. I think it is too risky to stablish a route just looking at a map. You never know if there is an antenna in the way, or a tree branch too high, or any other kind of obstacle
Updating the App is very simple: When you turn or your aircraft and your remote, wait until they "see" each other (Until they connect). Then launch the app on your phone (or tablet) and connect the cable. Once you are seeing what your drone camera is seeing, go to the 3 dots on the upper right hand corner and tap on them. Scroll to the bottom of that screen, and tap on "about". That opens another screen where you can verify which app version is the one you have installed. Tap on all the options and let the latest vesion be downloaded, assuming that you have wi-fi connection. I hope I have been helpful !
Hi, great video! Do you know if the standard Mavic 2 collision avoidance is fully operational during way point missions? I would expect it to be available, and it would certainly help us avoid crashing. Thank you very much for taking the time to share what you've learned so far. I look forward to learning more about how it all actually works for you...
Thanks for taking the time to put this together! Awesome news for all of us.. Have you tried creating a path in field yet? For example, while on site, setting altitude, pitch and location for points 1 through X one after the next while fine turning the perfect spot before committing it to the routine.... Would be nice :) Thanks again
Thanks for the tutorial! I have a couple of questions here: 1. Does obstacle avoidance system work while the drone is flying the waypoint program? 2. Is it possible to manually operate the camera (up and down) and rotate the drone (left and right) while flying from waypoint to waypoint? Thanks in advance :-)
I have the same questions as well. I believe you [can] operate the camera while your drone is on a Waypoint mission, according to another video I watched on RUclips.
You must have powered on both devices to enter the Waypoint Editor, but you can turn off your drone then, at least someone wrote this in another comment. I'll try this later today.
Appreciate the tutorial! My challenge has been trying to adjust waypoints out in the field. Every time I touch the icon, it creates a new waypoint instead of allowing me to adjust. Very frustrating. Is there a master list of all waypoints in a menu that I can choose from vs having to touch the screen? Also, I love the option to adjust the camera angle, but it's tough to guess where you might need it. So, can I leave that option alone and still adjust the gimbal during the flight?
Great question, I was wondering the same thing too ie... can I power up and connect to the drone at home, create the waypoint task on my iPad and then take drone to flight location but use iPhone as my controller screen? When you save the task, does it save to drone, the cloud or the iOS device you created the task on?
very clear tutorial. simple/obvious question. you’re using an ipad to create your mission. how you transfer the mission to, say, a smartcontroller? and it looks like your ipad is connected to the mavic 2. is it possible to create your mission offline? or do you need to have the drone powered up, eating up battery power, etc, to create your mission? i’ve done a ton of googling…and can’t seem to find anyone who has found a way to achieve these 2 super obvious features. thanks!
Ok... Now we're cooking without oil!!😁😁. Just saw this and subbed ya. Bought my Mavic 2 Zoom in November and haven't taken her outside yet.... But soon😁😁😁😬😬😬👍👍 OH, by the way, GREAT tutorial! I'm sure I'll be back for more.
Thanks for the tutorial. I guess my Litchi App is almost obsolete. DJI still needs to add a PC / MAC or web based planning app so you can build and save your flight plans without the drone. It's a pain and waste of time booting up a drone. Any word on if DJI has a desktop planning app in development.
Great video, good pace and very clear, easy to understand and learn from. My question is to ask if the maps available within waypoints can be changed to Google Maps? I once used litchi when I had my first drone and this was far better, clearer and more detailed maps to set missions on. I now use a Mavic Zoom and have a smart controller but really miss the Google Maps.
Love the Vid.. but How can you MANUALLY frame up the Waypoints (to get the right elevation & angle, & to set the right gimbal pitch to best frame your subject) how do you do that ? can you make a quick video explaining the procedure? Many Thanks
This is a good video. BUT all I want to do is go to the site, fly to my first starting point, and record the Waypoint #1, fly to the second spot and record #2 and fly to the third spot and record #3. Then I want to return to my first point, set a slow speed of flight (5km/h is what I used to use for my Mavic Pro) and have a free camera. But I've not seem to find the right combination of actions. The drone always flies too fast and the camera is not moving freely (even though I have set it to free). I'm obviously doing something wrong, but this used to be so easy with the Mavic Pro.
I got a DJI Mavic Pro off my buddy. I hate jail. Always have. I always thought DJI was trash. I was right! Ill stick with building my own quads as i have been doing.
Nicely done, hit all of my questions as I come off of a Mavic Pro and the older waypoint package. Do you know what the limit (if any) is on the number of tasks/missions that can be stored?
Brilliant tutorial, thank you. Can waypoints (and all the fine tuning, POI, gimbal attitude etc.) be set while flying a practice move? My interest is filming so it's essential to see the composition and framing and obstacles. The map is not going to be accurate enough.
Obviously, I'm late to the game but have a question. Will it still avoid objects like trees in the auto flight mode? I have been tasked to help with promotional videos and there are a few buildings that need coverage in different areas. Not knowing exactly where trees and obstructions might be but knowing what they want, can I still pre-plan the flight and trust it will avoid those objects? Or is this something that should only be done higher than any obstructions in the area? They know I'm fairly new but I am sure they are expecting Academy Award cinematography from me. I just happen to be only one of two certified to fly. HA! Thanks. Great instructions.
Thanks as always for another great tutorial! 👍🏽 I have the DJI Go4 app on my everyday tablet (which I used to use for flying), and on my DJI SC. To plan a waypointed route, it would be easier for me to sit at home with my tablet (bigger screen) and plot it on it then save it, then when I get out to the flight site, use my SC. Q. Does the planned route get saved to the device or cloud? Or, am I stuck with having to route plan on my SC?
Wow been looking for this for awhile answered many questions. Can the programed waypoints be uploaded to the flight controller., thus omitting the need for the iPad or is the iPad the interface now with the flight controller?
Thank you for the video! Is it possible to enter specific GPS coordinates when making waypoints? Looking to take photos of property lines. Thanks again!

A good tip thank you for sharing that and I’m glad you enjoyed my video.
Possibly the best tutorial I've seen yet on this topic! Really well explained! Not so scared to use it now :-)
I mean this when I say it, the most effective tutorial I have seen so far! No BS - just right to the business! Thanks my man!
Everybody says the same thing on other channels "this guy is the best!" lol
@@michaelsteven1090 I mean it though, check out the tutorial, you'll know what I mean!
Thanks for this, it was a lifesaver before a last minute shoot!
Wow! Great job! I appreciate a articulate and intelligent person that is to the point. You answered my question about the Go4 app having waypoints for the mavic pro 2...
Very thorough and easy to understand. Thanks!
Semper Fly.
Best waypoints tutorial I’ve found so far thank you 😊
Damn, that's cool. It's great that you can select points on your device before the drone takes off, but I've got a Phantom 3 Standard, so you need to manually fly to each point and set it I believe.
I can see a lot of Crashed Drones coming up :-) Checking waypoints for height, obstacles. Should be interesting.
I nearly did just that today. Missed a tall tree top by a few feet lol
WOW DJI!!!! Well thought out way points Intelligent modes. This in itself makes this my next MAVIC drone purchase. Are you capable of setting the zoom the way you can set camera angle?

NICE! I hope they upgrade this for the Spark as well...
Seriously, this is a great tutorial. Thank you!
Good video👍 Finally! Good job DJI👏 Courious to know will ALL Obstacle Avoidance Sensors, including Side sensors, work when flying Waypoints 🙄
Vey well described. Other tutorials did not go into all the settings and instead mostly showed drone footage with voiceover (nice to look at but not really useful to be confident using the feature and know where and what the controls do).

thank you Sam I've been like what the heck all day
Hi MasterP DJ
I assume that this worked for you and if it did I’m very happy that it did and that I was able to help out.
Thanks for explaining this so well.
Fantastic clear tutorial. Thanks so much, looking forward to trying this out.
Brilliant piece of work
That was an excellent tutorial, you explained the subject and made it look easy the way you explained it. Thank You.
excellent video ! very clear and straightforward . thank you
Thank you
Fantastic! I was waiting to see it flying though
That was very Helpful Thank you!!
I guess you need to be connected to the drone whilst creating the way points? it would be useful if you could do this on the phone before connecting to the drone. Is that possible?
No :(
Still not quite as nice as litchi!
+ GS Pro will do that and works with Mavic 2 Pro
It's nice of dji to consider burning your battery while creating the sequence. I'll stick with drone harmony
thats sad my Anafi lets you do this while the drones turned off :(
Excellent overview. Thanks!
Thank you
Cheers for the second best London in the world!
👍
Nice job showing waypoint setup,
Awesome video on waypoints. Thanks for taking the time to make it. Wondering if you can do this before flying the aircraft from home rather than needing the aircraft powered on and connected.
Very well done! Just what I was looking for. Thank you!
Great explanation of how to use the app.
how does anyone give this awesome video a thumbs-down?! WTH! THANKS much buddy!
Thank you

London ONT! - I went to Fanshawe. Great memories.

Set a hard deck.
How do I update my app? Been searching, cant find an update button. Thanks for any help!!!
Updating the App is very simple: When you turn or your aircraft and your remote, wait until they "see" each other (Until they connect). Then launch the app on your phone (or tablet) and connect the cable. Once you are seeing what your drone camera is seeing, go to the 3 dots on the upper right hand corner and tap on them. Scroll to the bottom of that screen, and tap on "about". That opens another screen where you can verify which app version is the one you have installed. Tap on all the options and let the latest vesion be downloaded, assuming that you have wi-fi connection. I hope I have been helpful !
Excellent tutorial!
Well done sir. Only recommendation is perhaps a little closer shot of the screen. Great job and thank you so much.

great video..I can see the exact similarity of this app that has been available in Litchi for over 4 years LOL
But glad DJI has updated
I was thinking exactly the same thing, finally DJI has caught up with Litchi.
Can a waypoint be inserted between two existing waypoints? Can your waypoint mission be copied from an iPad 2 to a Smart Controller?
Thanks for the tutorial!
I have a couple of questions here:
1. Does obstacle avoidance system work while the drone is flying the waypoint program?
2. Is it possible to manually operate the camera (up and down) and rotate the drone (left and right) while flying from waypoint to waypoint?
Thanks in advance :-)
I have the same questions as well. I believe you [can] operate the camera while your drone is on a Waypoint mission, according to another video I watched on RUclips.
try it, try all the options yourself, so you learn how you can get the most out of the mavic!!!
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you
Boy it would be nice to have something like this for the Air. Maybe in the future.
Can this be done with the Smart Controller, with aircraft off? Haven't been able to figure that out
I'm new at this (I've had my Mavic 2 Pro for a month now), and I have to have the aircraft ON in order to do what he's doing in the video.
You must have powered on both devices to enter the Waypoint Editor, but you can turn off your drone then, at least someone wrote this in another comment.
I'll try this later today.

WoW! Well explained! :D I wish I could have it on my Mavic Pro (without using a 3rd party app)
DJI Mavic Air 2 should of got the Go4 app!
Ok... Now we're cooking without oil!!😁😁. Just saw this and subbed ya. Bought my Mavic 2 Zoom in November and haven't taken her outside yet.... But soon😁😁😁😬😬😬👍👍 OH, by the way, GREAT tutorial! I'm sure I'll be back for more.

Be great if the gps coordinates of your waypoints was displayed or you could input gps coordinates to produce a flight plan.
Another great video
Will this waypoint program work with time-lapse images also?
Great stuff!... And in case of emergency how to abort mission ???
Patrick Merminod - Hit RTH (Return to Home).
Hit the Cancel button on your controller!
Great video

Thanks for your tuturial 😉👍💪
A little confused. Are you using this app to fly your aircraft? Rather than DJI fly?
this meant that dji go4 app also upgraded and compatible to mavic Pro/air/spark/phamton
This is a good video. BUT all I want to do is go to the site, fly to my first starting point, and record the Waypoint #1, fly to the second spot and record #2 and fly to the third spot and record #3.

I got a DJI Mavic Pro off my buddy. I hate jail. Always have. I always thought DJI was trash. I was right! Ill stick with building my own quads as i have been doing.
AAAAWESOME!!!!!
would have liked to see the actual flight video to see how it compares to your selections
I would love to see video from the drone with a set up like this to see it in action
Can you please check if the feature is available for the dji spark.
How can you cancel a waypoint flight if you choose ? Thanks again Thomas
Was hoping to see the actual flight
Great job! Thanks!!
Nicely done, hit all of my questions as I come off of a Mavic Pro and the older waypoint package. Do you know what the limit (if any) is on the number of tasks/missions that can be stored?
I don’t think there is a limit
WOW, you fast, thank for very educational video
Thank you very much
great tutorial you mention integrating photos with the waypoint route video. Can you instruct on this? Thanx
look cool and fun...good luck DJI
Great information

Please a video run this misión
you can run that mission even when it was done with the drone turned off
Thank you.
Great intro 👍
At 4:47 I can't move my Waypoint like you did. I have to delete it and start over.
Neither do I. I had to delete it as you did and start over with that one Waypoint. Don't know how did he move it like that :)
Excelente video, saludos desde colombia

Great video but : Should be updated both systems iOs and Android at the same TIME!
Why should iOS users be held back?
If doing this in the comfort of your home, does the drone have to be powered up and Connected?
It has to be flying. Cannot be done as described.
Thank you for the video! Is it possible to enter specific GPS coordinates when making waypoints? Looking to take photos of property lines. Thanks again!
