This product FINALLY makes it possible for DJI Fly-based drones to have their waypoint missions created with the same convenience and ease that is possible for older DJI drones that are compatible with Litchi. Hats off to the brilliant minds who created this diamond in the rough. This is a MAJOR breakthrough that will take the DJI drone world by storm.

I'm going to support you right now before even downloading a single thing just because of the last few minutes of video. Im always appreciative of skills and knowledge I cant fathom that comes more readily to others, haha just figuring out a FC board and putting ELRS on my first freestyle drone had me almost in tears hahaha

안녕하세요~한국에서 rtk 기능을 가진 드론이 너무 비싸고 측량과 매핑에 쓰려고 했는데 이런 좋은 채널이 있어서 너무나 다행입니다.
Hello, I am from South Korea. These days, i have been looking for drones and surveying program which can survey and do mapping on the land and construction sites. but drones with rtk function are too expensive to me. I am happy to know this youtube channel today. thank you for making these channel . thank you ~감사합니다~

[SuperPiratemike]

I used to use Litchi with my older drones (P3, P4pro) all the time. It is AWESOME to be able to pre-plan waypoint missions on my computer again!!! Can't wait to try it out on my Mini4Pro and Air 3s using the RC2. Great work!!

[piximan]

Just tried it... and works perfect! Thank you! To get the file onto the rc2... Just connected it via usb to my pc

[FretNaughtProductions]

Thank you! I haven't had the chance to try it out, so I'm hoping I have the mental capacity to get from A to Z. I've done my research, but nothing compares to what you're providing with the Mavic 3 Pro, particularly in terms of drone mapping. It's increasingly more difficult, carving out my portion of this, very niche, means of making a living. At times, I wonder if an enterprise model would have been a better choice. However, seeing how sexy footage looks with that 4/3 sensor, I'm reminded of just how dope it really is. Your insights and contributions are truly amazing my friend.

[StevenKelly-kitq]

Thank you for this! This is absolutely amazing and opens up a whole new level of products that we an exploit with the NON SDK drones. DJI really burned us on that, but you figured out how to make it happen!

[JamesLaws-Cinematographer]

I haven't gone through this version of your post. I will, but I really, really really want to do this. It is so cool.

[ApexDronePilot]

You're a genius. Love it thanks for the help. Looking forwards to more info.

[GlennoPicox]

Great video may have to watch at half speed a few times as I'm not as switched on yet just starting with Air 3, Its not an expensive version yours is fair priced you're Legendary!!
I can't wait to try it myself, If I get my head around it all Thanks, from Australia

Hi Jay, thank you for such a great video, and for putting out the web app to create the waypoints for mapping. As a newby, I am following the instruction in the video and I have a question, in the setup of the RC controller, I can follow how you go from saving the downloaded file in the computer to the SD card, move the SD card to the controller and then ... -- HOW IN THIS WORLD DO I GET TO THE NEXT SCREEN (IS THAT IN THE CONTROLLER ITSELF?) TO REPLACE THE JUST SAVED KZM FILE? I CANNOT GET HOW TO NAVIGATE, OR AM I TRYING TO NAVIGATE IN THE WRONG DEVICE? FOR TIME REFERENCE IN THE VIDEO 10:10 TO 10:22 ... EDITED -- I solved that part. It was my SD card was not setup for the RC.

BUT ... When I did copy the ONE file output-4.KMZ, I got two files in my SD Card the output-4.kmz (1.89kb) and a second one ._output-4.kmz (4.10kb) which of them do I "copy to.."
and replace in the RC folder?

[SkyPixles]

Brilliant, you saved me tons of work and costs as a small business owner I appreciate this. I will take the 15$ options - WELL DONE!

[clarkgriswold-zrsb]

Very nice!! Looks exactly like what I've been needing. Anxious to give it a try.

[velociraptor]

Exceptional work! Just a couple of thoughts. I have an RC-Pro with an Mavic 3. That option isn't presently on your list. Also, I'd like to suggest that the reverse points option be included in the free option for those of us "Down under" and in the southern hemisphere. Also, I thought there is a limit of 200 points/actions with these generated flight paths - which could be the reason the controller crashes?/can't open the generated flight path. Keep up the good work! I haven't had a chance to try this all out yet, but love it.

[robertperham]

I guess the most important question is what site do you use to process the images

[MrYotuner]

Such an amazing tool, thanks a lot for your awesome work!

[firebird-drones]

This is awesome! Thank you! I have a Mavic 3 Classic. It has a great camera, it'd be a shame to not use it for mapping and modeling. I'll definitely be testing this out.

[robertmenasian]

This is pure brilliance! Thank you so much!

[FuzzyAason]

Hey Jays, will you be looking into creating one for facade inspection. However, that would actually need to know the location and building's height and stuff. Something that another software I noticed is able to pull. They probably used an API of another service.

That is a premium feature that I would be willing to pay.

[Chris_Love]

I´m a bit confused here. I´m on a RC2, I have made all the steps from generated aa mission, copied and renamed from a previous mission but new mission doesnt show up at all
