You just have to wait for DJI to release the Air 2 SDK so that Litchi can support the Air 2.I have a new Air 2 and I have a bunch of small courses plotted on a map that I need to have the drone shoot video for me on. I can't figure out how to do it. Is there any documentation out there to make this happen?
I am not familiar with that drone but the Mavi 2 Pro has WAYPOINTS which would be ideal for that task. I just did it in my Fairchild Tropical Gardens video submitted on today's forum. Look for it in today's list. I used 6 way points.Hi all,

A Big Fat NO! That is the beauty of it all. You can sit at your air conditioned desk the day before your shoot (it is still hot here in Miami) and do the entire route on your screen (I use a 9.5 inch iPad). All you need to do is to GOOGLE the term, Waypoint Mavic 2 Pro and you will find at least 5-6 video on the technique. Click on my attachment to see. You can set the way points, point of interest, height at each way point, etc. Then store it for use at another time and date. When you get to your destination, you open up the file and upload it, and start!Thanks for the reply, and what a beautiful video you made. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have to set the waypoints in the software while the drone is in the air running?

I just Googled it- YOU CAN DO IT WITH Mavic Air 2!!! See my attachment. click on the attachment. Hope this helps!I don’t think you can do that with the Air 2 software.
That just reaffirms for me that I made the right decision to sell my Mavic Air 1 and buy the Mavic 2 Pro . The Mavic Air 2 was not yet. available, I don't think. I guess you get what you pay for and in my case, I am happy to have this option on my drone.You can only set the waypoints when the drone is hovering in the air. That’s what he’s doing in the video, I know how to do this. That’s worthless in real life.
unfortunately, the air 2 is basically just a toy until you can program routes like any other real drone.
You 100% made the right choice. Mine is going back to Amazon. I didn’t realize this before I bought it.That just reaffirms for me that I made the right decision to sell my Mavic Air 1 and buy the Mavic 2 Pro .

Any idea when new SDK might be released?It will become available when they release the SDK for the Mavic Air 2. It's a fairly new drone but I don't doubt it has the computing horsepower to do it.
