Hi at all from Germany!

I'm very new into flying drones and the DJI community as well! My background is from a cinematic point of view.
Is there any possibility to "save" or keyframe your flight tracks and actions? By that I mean reflying of saved parameters like altitude, speed, rotation and translation. If not, are there any plans to introduce that into the DJI Go App?


It would be so great, because in that way you would have kind of a motion control system for your flights which could be pretty useful for some post compositings (for example, you want to comp buildings, or persons, ... into some other plates.
Another cool feature would be to share your actions and tracks to the community.

What do you think of it? I would like to know! :-)

Your talking over the heads of a lot of people. You can use mapping app for repetitive task and you may also look at the Litchy app.

I'd tried to search for these apps but couldn't find them in the appstore. Are these the original names of the applications? Especially the "mapping app" sounds pretty common to me.
For the "Litchy" app I was unsuccessful as well.
(There is to say that I have only access to the German appstore, there might be some restrictions that I haven't access to the US apps...)

All in all I hope there will be a official support from DJI because third party apps might have some issues with the hardware/mavic.

An excellent video which simply explains the Waypoint function.

Sorry, Litchi with an "I". As mentioned above you can use the waypoint but I don't know if that is what you want but, very important with the Waypoint,  you need to be in clear area and really watch for your obstacles. Lots of people underestimated distances and obstacles and end up crashing their AC.

Good luck!
