Pinpoint How-To for DJI Pilot 2 - DJI Mavic 3T 3E 3M Drone

Показать описание

In addition to the contents of this video, there is also a shareable QR code for each pinpoint. Simple click on the pin and click the "share" icon.

This is a how-to for the pinpoint feature on the DJI Pilot 2 App used on DJI Enterprise drones. The specific in this how-to apply directly to the Mavic 3 Enterprise. I cannot speak for the application across the other drones in the DJI enterprise line-up.

How To Use The Pinpoint Feature

1) Set a Pinpoint - Multiple Methods and Results
2) Edit a Pinpoint - Color, Lat/Long, Altitude
3) How I Use Pinpoints

- Setting a Pin
Pins generated in the “camera” view are placed at the drone position/altitude.
Pins generated in the “map” view are placed at the location of the map reticle and zero(take-off point) altitude.
- Editing a Pin
Color, Location(Latitude/Longitude), and Altitude can all be edited
- "View Pinpoint" feature helps to set a heading to the selected pinpoint.
- Distance to Pin
- Setting Pins at Zero Altitude
- Using Pins for Flight Path History
This method is helpful for returning to where you left off...especially in the event you lose the flight path info. Normally for a battery swap, you would leave the controller on and Pilot 2 open and retain the flight path. But this is a backup/insurance.
- Custom Buttons for Pinpoints

Update 8-29-23...Firmware updates 07.01.1003(aircraft) and 02.01.0003(controller) fix the disappearing pinpoint issue noted below.

Note: Users(including myself) with the 3/2/2023 software updates are finding that newly created pinpoints do not permanently save when the controller is turned off. In my case, I still have all my old pins, but I cannot permanently edit, delete, etc any of them. So, while the information in the video applies, there seems to be a bug in the latest update that affects the pinpoint feature. Update 6/21/23: I had a conversation with a contact at DJI Support and they informed me that engineering is aware of the issue and an update will be included in the next firmware update. They did not have an ETA on the next update. They did suggest either using a work-around via Flight Hub 2 cloud(in Pilot 2 app)(I'm not a fan of this options and can do a video if I get a few comments) or downgrading your firmware via DJI Assistant 2 Enterprise.

Thanks for all the great information. You do a super job at filling in the gaps in the DJI manual. Would rather watch/listen to someone like you rather than this Drone Deer Recovery pyramid scheme folks.

Keep up the good work and keep flying that very capable Mavic 3T.

Thanks for your advice on the light. I ordered one and it will be here on 04JAN2024. I may be reaching out.

Thanks for the great presentation. Lot of detail. Well done

Another informative video - learning a lot about the M3T from you guys. Cheers!

Very good video - Ty to guys like yourself who do these videos for thickies like myself 😮😂😊

Thank you very much for this video. It was very helpful. One question: How come after turning off and back on my drone, I can not find my pinpoints anymore? Any solution? Thanks again

Mavic 3T supports augmented homepoint but won't drop an estimated pin down on something you're looking at and it makes me shake my head. I get it doesn't have a laser range finder, but it should be "good enough". It's a pain to have to fly directly over the object or to manually drop a pin over the Map where you think the object is. ATAK UAS tool has no issues operating this way on the M3T with a marginal degree of error, and UAS tool doesnt even officially support the M3T.

Awesome video. I'm setting up a training for our team next weekend and I'll be using some of your tips. Thanks!

Do you know how to set a flight pattern that the aircraft can fly autonomously? I'm trying to fly a grid pattern for surveying my ranch and counting pigs and exotics. When I setup a flight pattern, I can't set the altitude without it adjusting my grid spacing. When is et my altitude at 150', it makes my grid spacing so close together that it would take 9 hrs to fly 700 acres. Any help on this would be great! Thanks

Thanks fro this. One thing, can you set the drone to fly automatically back to a pin, or is this manual. Do the pins always stay there afterwards. So if you return, you can repeat the same flight pattern using the pins. Thanks.

Are the pin point will more accurate if we use an rtk module with drtk 2 base station? After take the coordinates from the pin point

Great video, alot of good tips. I am having an issue maybe you can help me with. When I fly my DJI M3T and set pinpoints, they do not show up on subsequent flights. The next "number" shows up, but the previous ones are not listed when I long press the pin button. Any idea why this could be?

Is it possible to accurately draw the boundary lines between four pinpoints and mark the area for mapping?
Currently, I place four pinpoints, for example, at the four corners of a house, to understand the boundaries. Then, I need to choose a mission and try to fit the mapping area between the marked pinpoints. However, this is not always completely accurate. This is somewhat problematic because when I try to set the mapping corner boundaries, a pinpoint is automatically selected/marked, and the mapping point is not placed.

I'm having problems with pipoints not saving in the controller when turned off or when switching accounts, any solutions yet?

Great videos, thanks for posting, im new to the mavic 3 T, could you tell me if theres a way of attaching a photo to a pin, i'm looking at attaching photos of deer to the pin in the location they are seen Thanks
