To help with feeling myself doing things like driving a car or riding a motorcycle or some other activity I would like to record a flight path not by using a map on an app but back to the Flying the path I'm playing it back later.

To be clear I'm talking about pressing record and then flying a path exactly as I want and then saving that flight path. Then I can play the flight path back. This would be an alternative to sitting there and setting waypoints and cooking on a map and using your phone. You would actually fly the actual path
 
every time you Fly, DJI Records a Flight Record to your phone. you can go back and view the information in this txt file, and it will have a full recording of your flight.

Yes but how can you use that data to control a future flight?

I need to load and have the mavic fly the same path again by itself

litche can set a flight path but im not sure if you can save it to use later, as i have not purchased it yet. its 25$ i believe
 
Drone Harmony allows this.
Thank you very much! This is exactly what I was looking for for the most part. The only thing is it seems to only use your flight data to set waypoints. So it's not actually a recording and Playback of your flight. All it seems to be is a trajectory pass from your flight which is translated into a mission.

What this means is if I recorded a mission where I hover for 5 minutes then go up to 100 ft on Harbor for 5 minutes and then come back down. The only thing that will be recorded is two altitudes and two coordinates. No speed or time data. So it's like using your controller be at your flight to draw way points on a map and at altitudes and directions and camera settings to those points.

I was looking to do a series of shots where the mavic with pause between shots to let me know it's ready for the next shot. I would then drive and wait for the mavic to stop and then move to my next position for the next shot and so on and so forth. This allows for better coordination and more complex shots but I think what I might end up doing is trying to see if I can edit the created Mission and add delays at certain points.

Glad to help. I find Drone Harmony to be a great piece of software and can not understand why more pilots don't use it. I guess being Android only is a restriction.
