Of course, they could. Since the waypoints are uploaded to the drone, the path is also calculated on the drone. However, the path preview is also shown in DJI Fly. Therefore, it would be possible for them to display the minimum and maximum heights that the path will take.

Waypoint flights exist in 3 dimensions. You have to think in "3-D" when planning a mission. Consider the following mission: The light blue path is how Litchi's flight path would look. The red path is how DJI Fly's flight path would look. DJI Fly uses a spline that goes through each...

A DJI KMZ file is a compressed archive containing two files: template.kml waylines.wpml What you are showing is the template.kml file. As you have discovered, it only contains some global information and actually is not used by the Mavic 3. You need to look in the waylines.wpml file for the...

This is a very good visual representation of the difference between the execution of on-board waypoints and the execution of virtual stick waypoints. We all pretty much knew this was the case, but these photos make it clear how much smoother the flight path of on-board waypoints is. The...

Welcome to the forum. The Mavic 2 Pro is an excellent drone.

This question has been partially answered already. The previously mentioned thread contains more information. However, I want to add a few things. Despite the uninformed answer from the DJI forums each waypoint mission is stored in its own KMZ file in a data repository of sorts on your flying...

Please clarify whether or not you have the Litchi app installed. Here you imply that you do not have the Litchi app: Here you imply that you already have the Litchi app: Obviously, the Litchi app is needed to perform Litchi functions, but I can't tell what you have by your description.

This setting was introduced in IOS 11 in 2017. It is off by default.

What you are describing is the IOS "Offload Unused Apps" option. If you go to Settings -> General -> iPad/iPhone Storage, you will see this option: This setting is off by default. You must have enabled it at one point. I do not use this option because I am not low on storage and I don't want...

Thank you for this. You have collected a lot of good information. However, just when I thought I had this figured out, I find that your sensor dimensions differ from the values I have seen. Again, using only the Mavic 2 Pro sensor as an example: Nominal dimensions: 13.2x8.8mm Calculated...

Would you define what a Google Earth Mission is? Also, since I do not own Maven, what input formats are compatible with it?

Thanks. Your list has helped. While you don't list the sensor width and height, you do list the sensor area. From the sensor area and knowing the aspect ratio, one can calculate the sensor dimensions. As I suspected, the sensor sizes that we often see quoted are nominal sizes. For example...

Is there a definitive source for DJI drone camera specifications such as sensor size (in pixels) or true focal length (not the 35mm equivalent)? I know that DJI specifies the camera's sensor size using notation such as 1/1.3 but I am looking for the actual sensor size in mm for all DJI drones...
