Here, I'll show you a step by step guide with a demo of a simple but powerful DJI waypoints mission the EASY way!
DJI Waypoints can make a POI (Point of Interest) video that is impossible to fly manually, possible! DJI Waypoints feature is very easy to use and and provides really incredible footage from flights that would be impossible to fly manually.
If you'd like to support me to get out and about more and visit more of Scotland with Lassie, Laddie and Caledonia - my DJI Mini 2, DJI Mini 3 Pro and DJI FPV drones, you could always stick some fuel in my tank using this link. And it is very much appreciated!

This is the best video about waypoints I've seen so far! Excited to receive my Air 3.

Thank you :)

What I'm most impressed with is your ability to shoot this video, get home, edit the whole thing and upload, all in the same day!

@WindsweptRobert 6 месяцев назад

Had I been doing weekly Sunday livestreams, this video would not have been possible as my day would have been taken up with planning the livestream (instead of being taken up with filming and editing a video!) :)

Excellent video! I haven’t really tried waypoints much.. I certainly didn’t know about adding a POI like that. I’ve got to try it now 😀 Thanks for doing this 👍 - Steve

A feature that I think could be useful for waypoints is to add in the waypoints in AR, like they do for the home point, so when you are flying around trying to set up the waypoints you can see the previous waypoints in the sequence either as points (like the home point) or columns of light.

Well done Robert. You were able to take advantage of the nice weather to give us another informative and entertaining video. Thanks.

@WindsweptRobert 6 месяцев назад

Cheers, Pete. I don't want to jinx it, but it looks like the weather is improving! :D

What I like about automating flights, is I can send the drone to take several shots at different angles and approaches to a point of interest then pick a favorite. Maybe a shot or angle will look better than the one I originally thought would.

@arwqs 5 месяцев назад

Amazing. What I was thinking if you add another waypoint between and make the drone curve a little instead of going directly above the bridge. It will get more smoother. I dont know. I just learned it from you. I will try it on my own and will see. But thank you for this. Really helpful

@smbishop63 6 месяцев назад

Beautiful scenery, excellent editing, and a fantastic tutorial! I have tried this shot in the past and it is a fun mission to plan. As you probably know, missions are also great for setting up parallax shots. Looking forward to your next video. I haven't had much success planning a mission on the tiny screen of the RC 2 in advance. Thank you for continuing to share your passion with these flying cameras!

@WindsweptRobert 6 месяцев назад

Thnks, Scott. Aye, I am having some great fun with the waypoint feature and I think I'll be making a good number of videos using waypoints :)

@@WindsweptRobertI went out to fly today (didn't use Waypoints, yet!) but having got home and looked at my timestamps, it looks like my Mini 4 Pro with the RC2 has dated my files 02/03/2024, rather than todays date of 01/03/2024. Looks like there's a wee bug that doesn't deal with leap years properly - just a heads up in case you or anyone else has that issue - check the date / time on the controller! 🙂 Update: it looks like having connected my controller to my wifi it has now ok, as I have the option "Use network-provided time" (which is the default option). Still doesn't fix my videos I did this morning! 🙄

Since I started messing around with the waypoints on my Mav3, I am seriously considering getting a mini 4 Pro! I believe the OA is better on the Mini 3 Pro than the 4 Pro, but those DJI waypoints just tip the scales :)

@conorstewart2214 6 месяцев назад

How about trying to use the spotlight feature for this? Since that always keeps the point of interest in the same position in the video, automatically adjusting to look at it (I believe it can change the gimbal angle and heading), wouldn't that be a good way of doing this without needing to set up waypoints and would allow more complex movements?

@amoktimeflies 6 месяцев назад

You’re a bloody inspiration Rob - no-one notices the hard work in that editing, but I do! nice one pal! (Ma beard is gettin close to yours BTW 😂)

@conorstewart2214 6 месяцев назад

Also worth noting was that you took off from the roof of your car, so everything is relative to that, so when you set the point of interest at 1 m, it was really setting it 1 m above the roof of your car, not 1 m off of the bridge.

@WindsweptRobert 6 месяцев назад

Very true

@growingupisatrap6688 6 месяцев назад

Great video thanks. What I’m yet to fully understand on waypoint missions is how you can take videos and photos on the same mission? Or is it not possible without having separate video segments. I found when I tried one such mission , where I wanted to take one long video with a few snap shots along the way, it simply stopped the video recording as soon as it hit the first waypoint with a take a photo setting, and then did not re-start video recording immediately after snapping the photo, despite only having start recording set at first waypoint and having stop recording set on the last waypoint.

@WindsweptRobert 6 месяцев назад

You'd have to add an additional waypoint (almost on top of each other) to get the drone to take a photo, and then start recording again. Do this for each point you want a photo along your flight :)

You can use Waypoints with a mini 3 Pro if you have a RC-N1 controller and an android device. You can also use Waypoint missions with a mini 3 PRp if you re using a RC Pro controller and have Dronelink installed. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tbI33V4Xigg.html

Could ye dae a waypoint feature on the mini 3 Pro Hyperlapse setting? ( I think that's the only way you can use waypoints on the mini 3 Pro ) 😉

@WindsweptRobert 6 месяцев назад

I tried this a while ago but that method burns through the battery really fast and so I think it’s not a very good method

@SecretAgentBond 6 месяцев назад

Nice example Robert, except you lost me on the part of setting the “1meter - above the bridge” part? So what did it do, drop 1m, didn’t seem like it? Could you please explain? Thanks

@WindsweptRobert 6 месяцев назад

Adding a POI just sets the POI to the drone's location (where the drone was when the POI was set). I set the POI when the drone was directly over the bridge. To make sure that the gimbal would focus on the bridge, I had to set the height of the POI. I set that to 1m above the bridge. This way, the POI is set to the location of the bridge at a height of 1m above it (This is where the gimbal will point, not where the drone will fly)

@SecretAgentBond 6 месяцев назад

@@WindsweptRobert thank you for clarifying that and your quick reply, I appreciate it and now have a better understanding of how it works. 👍

@WindsweptRobert 6 месяцев назад

I did mention this in the video, but my accent can often flummox people ;)

@RasiAdventures Месяц назад

This point would be easier to explain if you were not looking at the POI from above, but rather walking around it. Then it is more important at what height the camera is looking in order to have the POI in focus. Sorry für my english, it's not my native language.

@RetroBeatsUK 6 месяцев назад

what is the legality of waypoints with a sub 249g drone? are you still the pilot? like self driving cars, what is the situation on line of sight if a nice blue man turns up.

@WindsweptRobert 6 месяцев назад

If you have VLOS, you’re ok if the blue man appears :)
