Mavic 2 Pro Waypoint Tutorial - Learn in 11 Minutes

Does the Air 2s have this option on it

I appreciate that you don't edit out any adjustments you have to make when things don't go quite as you want. You even summarize the problems, which helps me learn, too!

Thank you!!!

Just bought 2S only to find out it doesn't support 2.0 waypoints! Pissed....

Very cool tutorial, do you know which DJI drones work with it? I have a Mavic Pro and it doesn't seem to work with it. Thank you!

Can you set a waypoint and control the camera manually while it flies the waypoint?

Does waypoint work in all dji?

I tried this feature today on my Mavic 2 pro but it didnt let me control the camera. I don't like having to guess the pitch of the camera

fedt henrik der fik jeg lige de sidste detaljer tak fedt

Wish he would have shown a final result video.

So still does DJI way points now in 02-Apr-2020 have the ability to program missions offline at home with the map or we still have to do it by flying the aircraft to each way-point and memorizing that spot. Also why when it reaches each way-point to judders the drone like it hit a lamppost, that makes it impossible to get cinematic sequences smoothly right ?

What happens if you configure the drone so that if it loses signal continue its mission and during the mission, without signal, while the battery runs out ... will it automatically return home or will it strictly end the mission? and come home?

Informative video. But I find that planning the mission using the DJI Go 4 app will consume too much power. I rather plan my mission using Litchi on my PC still, in the comfort of my home. Using DJI Go 4 app to plan a mission seems to be for the spur of the moment type of missions.


"... Press the thumb down button twice ..." = LOL. Clever & so funny.

An interesting feature well explained. That said, it should be pointed out that Litchi enables you to construct a mission on Google Earth using 'Viewpoints' as 'Waypoints'... VERY handy with Google's 3D mapping.

But Litchi work with Mavic Pro, Go 4 App Waypoints 2.0 it doesn't works with Mavic Pro !🙁

I don’t like setting waypoints on the map. I take my drone to where I wants the waypoints, set up gimbal etc. and then press C1 to set the waypoint. Now I’m sure, that I framed everything like I want.

I really hate Waypoint 2.0. If I forgets to save the mission (which I often forgets), then aborting the action will delete all waypoints and POIs. Also I hate, that when I need to alter a waypoint and I press the waypoint, DJI GO often thinks I want to add a new waypoint. Furthermore you can’t set gimbal pitch to negative. Litchi allows all this. Litchi also allows me to create the route on my PC and then save it to the cloud and download it on my phone. DJI has some works to do with waypoints. I often sees jerky movements when using waypoints - don’t know if this is a software or hardware problem.

I have the Mavic 2 & Waypoints 2.0 which I find is crap. With the new Mavic 2 can you set waypoints manually like the original mavic? I think its stupid setting waypoints via a map!! as you can't frame your shot - there is no way of accurately framing your waypoint's height, angle, gimbal to frame properly, after all photography & videography is a visually sport not a plotting art you make on a map?? Please, your knowledge will be very appreciated.

Do you know why the drone pauses slightly in flight at each way point?

Can all this be done offline. Which stages definitely need to have mobile internet ? And which stages can make do without ?
I mean i usually fly at places with no mobile internet or wifi. Hell i don't even have a sim card inside my drone phone (bec i use that brand new phone exclusively as a drone phone).

How to land on ur hand?

How does this make Litchi dead???? You can't plan off line like Litchi can!!!! Litchi is still the king of waypoints no matter how much DJI is paying you to say otherwise!!!! If I could have given you 100 thumbs down I would have!!!

I generally take a lot of time and care in my mission planning with Litchi in the mission hub with my PC. Getting all the settings exactly how I want them, interpolating between POI, getting altitude and speed factors are no 5 min thing. The ability to run them through a virtual mission in Google Earth, at one time a luxury are now a requirement for me. It's like somebody at DJI always say, ok we know they want XXX, but we will deliver XX, the last X will go on the next model. I bet they will have an online mission hub with the M2P Platinum, but then no ability to run it through Google Earth. I will stick with Litchi thanks! :)

Huge difference with Litchi, is the maps are real maps (photographic), not some vector graphics without detail. Makes is 100% more useful, not to mention, drone does not have to be powered up while creating way points.

sad no mavic air lol

Det' sådan de bliver til.... grate ending comment. And even though that I don't have a drone (would love one) I learned quit a lot from this video. Thanks 😀 Have a nice Whitsun.

Not compatible with the Mavic Pro 1 😭

Thank you! I did not know that it was updated! I can't wait to try it now. You're the man!

thank you for going over this feature

"If you didn't like the video, press the dislike button twice... " Ahh.... I see what you did there!! :)

Nice video...
DJI has a ways to go to catch up with Litchi, mainly because I don't like the idea of needing to have the drone powered up while building/editing routes...
One of my favorite things about Litchi is being able to plan missions at home on my PC, then WiFi/load them into Litchi on the iPad I use for flying (again without drone being turned on)...

Litchi you can create them on a PC and load them into the phone... DJI still has a long way to go before they are close to Litchi.

that was a pretty funny ending!! OK, I have not tried this yet, but I must say you presented this lesson well, its not the first time your videos have helped me learn, thank you for posting,, I hit like twice in case someone hit dislike twice ;-)

Ha ha. You snorted at the very end. Not sure what the joke was but good to see ya having fun. Lol

How waypont 2.0 working?! I dont know, I have an Air.... rip

Has WP 2.0 an offline Planer like Litchi-Hub ?

Does the drone have to be running why you do this?

DJI are a little late to the party, new users to waypoints may try out DJI version but with the advance options of Litchi and AutoPilot, I can’t see DJI cornering the waypoints mission mode as yet. I like the workflow and option to share missions with Litchi.

Does it work on Mavic Air?
