On Dec 4th, I bought a Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo Plus from "Air Foto" off of Amazon. It was the first time in a while that I saw it for $1159 and shipped from Amazon. I saw that the delivery was estimated between Dec 19 - 24. I wasn't too concerned about that delay. It just meant that a...

I'm sorry, I thought you were looking for a better way to set up a facade mission. Sure, you can do it manually. Have you tried? It would be a tedious task. I wrote this utility to facilitate the creation of a facade waypoint mission making the setup much easier. To be clear, since your Air...

I have a facade waypoint mission creator that will work for the Air 3S. https://www.litchiutilities.com/facade.php

Welcome to the forum!

This is because you have not selected a drone model for the mission. Select a newer model (Mini 4 Pro, Air 3, Mavic 4) and you will have the "Smooth Curves" option available to choose and can export a KMZ file.

Yes, it does. Litchi Pilot supports whatever functions the current MSDK provides. In the case of the Mini 4 Pro, both native and VSC waypoints are supported in the MSDK.

DJI did add support to the MSDK v5 for both the Mini 3 and Mini 4 Pro. The Mini 3 does not have native waypoints. Therefore, VSC is the only option for waypoints on that drone. It wasn't the MSDK that is crippled. Instead, it is the Mini 3 Pro that doesn't have native waypoint capability...

While I am unable to test this myself (because I do not own either of those controllers), that is what I have been told by one of my "light-painting" colleagues. The Mavic 3 Pro has native waypoints. As a result, it is capable of continuing a waypoint mission after signal loss. However, in...

I can confirm that the DJI RC and the DJI RC2 both struggle when loading missions at around 200 waypoints. It is likely due to memory limitations. I work with people who fly large waypoint missions with a Mavic 3 Pro and a Mini 4 Pro. As I said, the RC and RC2 both struggle with moderate...

Start your own thread and post both your waypoint mission and your flight log. Without those, we can only guess what happened.

He has already inquired about this in the Litchi forum. His Mini 5 Pro momentarily stops several times during the flight. The flight log includes 29 "Home point updated" messages and numerous "Downlink Restored" messages despite the fact that he did not update his home point and was less than...

Lucky you! Welcome to the forum.

This is normal. It occurs when a straight-line mission is loaded into DJI Fly. DJI Fly can only create a curved turn mission. A straight-line mission can be externally created, loaded, and executed with DJI Fly. It just looks wonky as you have found. It will execute properly.

That would be the altitude of the POI with respect to your take-off location. It is used to calculate the gimbal pitch angle so that the POI is centered vertically in the view of the camera You are expected to estimate the altitude of the POI with respect to your take-off location.

I don't want to discourage you from writing the software you proposed. There may be some who, for whatever reason, do not have easy access to their log files. Your solution might be what they need.
