Waypoints without Hyperlapse with Mavic Air 2 or Mini 3 Pro

[Scottalmas]

I cannot seem to find an answer to this question.

I would like to record a video of a flight using waypoints with my Air 2 or Mini 3 Pro BUT NOT a Hyperlapse. Just a straight up video. Is this possible?

Thanks.

Is this possible?

It is NOT possible, at least at the moment. It is only possible at the moment with DJI Mavic 3, DJI Mavic 3 Classic, DJI Mavic 3 Cine, and Mavic 2 Pro, and some older drones I will not mention.

I and many others are pressuring DJI to add this feature on DJI Forum
Check these threads on DJI Forum:

Air 2 & Air 2S have internal storage, repurpose that for Waypoints!

DJI has been giving excuses not to implement Waypoints into newer drones, the most common one is a hardware limitation, that they don't have the board that stores the waypoints. Listen up! While newer drones don't have the board to store waypoints, they DO have Internal Storage that can be...

DJI - PLEASE Add REAL WAYPOINTS to Air 2/2S & Mavic 3

I have been using litchi for waypoints with Mavic Air 2 for some months now, and it is not smooth, at all! I just don't understand WHY DJI doesn't include this essential feature in new drones! Most toy GPS drones have this feature, even my S500 with a Flight Controller from 2013 (APM 2.8) has...

Please add waypoints to Mavic Air 2 & Air 2S!!!

DJI, thanks for adding waypoints to the Mavic 3, FINALLY!However... I don't think it's really fair that we need to buy your most expensive Mavic to get this feature, as other older drones, cheaper than the Mavic 3 had this feature already. Your next step should be adding waypoints to the Mavic...

I highly doubt that DJI will listen, but hopefully they will!!

You can do it with the Air 2 if you use a third party app like Litchi, Dronelink or Maven but it will be virtual sticks so it won't be as smooth as autonomous on board waypoints. The SDK was released for the MA2 so third party apps make it possible.

As @Tufargon said, you can use Litchi. I just checked and it does support Mavic Air 2 and S. For $25 you can't go wrong. Not only will Litchi allow you to fly with waypoints, but it will allow you to create autonomous missions from home on your computer and test them virtually (with Google Earth Pro). Unfortunately for the Mini 3 Pro we will have to wait to see if and when DJI releases the SDK for it so that Litchi can add it to the supported drones list. It took them 18 months to release the SDK for the Mini 2.
