Yesterday I stumbled upon the app called GSP (DJI Ground Station Pro)... viewed some videos about this app on Youtube, now I have some questions and hope someone can answer them.

- Is it safe to use this app?
- What about flight restrictions, height and distance restrictions are removed with DJI Go 4 when signed in, does GSP restrict the Mavic?
- What about flight-records?

I've used the app a couple of times with no issues, however I don't believe DJI even supports it even though it's their software, I believe it's because GS Pro does not create flight records, I believe GS Pro looks at the DJI Go 4 settings and uses them, not 100% sure on the last one.

For the flight safety, flight environment matters a lot. For the flight restriction, you have to power on and connect the drone RC and DJI GO 4 app first and then launch GS Pro, or the drone will be limited at the moment. And this app doesn't generate flight records, but it will produce the flight data on the drone.

Looks like it was updated this month with several in-app purchase options and enhancements:

What's New in Version 1.6.0
1. New: Support for M200/P4A
2. New: Support for KML/SHP/KMZ file import, view, and creating flight missions accordingly
3. New: Save the current mission’s parameter as Default, so that newly created mission will follow the same parameter
4. New: Support Poly No Fly Zone
5. New: Add option to always display WGS84 coordinates, even in non-WGS84 environment
6. Enhancement: Max Flight Height extend to 500M
7. Enhancement: Flight Speed now could set down to 1 m/s
8. Enhancement: More information in the parameter info panel.
9. Enhancement: When setting camera pitch in 3DMap, the flight route will shift accordingly to capture the target area
10. Fix: No video streaming when using Zenmuse Z3 camera

Did fly with GSP yesterday... made a movie but forgot to focus... will give it another try {:4_181:}

GSP does overwrite some of the settings I made in DJI Go 4:  max. height, max. distance etc. So if you use GSP and later on use DJI Go 4 again you have to check you settings...

Today I tried to fly the mission again, was able to take-off but MP kept hoovering on the spot... didn't fly the mission...

Flew 3 batteries with DJI Go 4 app without any problems... have to check next time why I wasn't able to fly the mission...

Using the latest firmware? Maybe the app needs to be updated for compatibility.

I upgraded and then I tried to fly a Hangar 360 mission yesterday and the AC did the same thing -- now, I didn't launch the mission from the ground but instead a few feet above after switching from DJI Go 4, so that may have confused the app, though I've done that before without issue.  After I manually flew it up to 300ft the app started working.

I have updated to latest firmware in 22-08, flew the mission dit GSP on 24-08... so I don't think it has something to do with that...

I deleted the second mission, made a copy of the first mission...

Made some changed (deleted in between points) lowered the gimbal 15 degrees and made curved corners...

Was able to fly the new mission without any problem.

I'm sure that I will use GSP more in the future...

... yes you need a bigger screen then the one of a phone even on an iPad 4 mini it is not easy to change some setting (DJI has to work on some things).

Just flew a mission of more than 2500mtrs.

Would be nice if in the near future DJI will update this app and make it possible to "enter" a number instead of using sliders or + and - buttons... Sliders are to sensitive, using + and - buttons take much to long...

You know, I've since had a couple more experiences with Hangar 360 hovering -- I'm pretty sure it's because I was in Sports Mode both times, and I keep forgetting that Hangar 360 -- and maybe also GSP? -- require the system to be in regular mode instead. Do you think you might also have been in Sports Mode when the hovering happened to you?

In GS Pro, create a Waypoint Mission,
then select a Waypoint (waypoint color = blue)
On the right side in your mission parameter panel select 'Each point'
Go down to 'Waypoint action' click on the > and the panel moves to the left, bringing up
the 'Add Waypoints Actions' dialog
Touch 'Add Waypoint Actions' then a list of actions appear.
Hover, Photo Capture, Start Recording, Stop Recording, Aircraft rotation, Gimbal Pitch Rotation.

Select your action.
Continue until you are finished with that waypoint.
Proceed to next waypoint.
I hope that helps.
K.

... pressing ">" doesn't move the panel to the left... therefore I'm stuck there... must be something simple I'm overlooking...

I think it is just some glitch not letting the options window open. The option window opens for the End Mission options if you select "All Points" and I imaging it is the same type of options window. I wonder if it works fine on a larger iPad?

I solved the problem... Removed and re-installed the app... Now I'm able to open the Waypoint Action menu... seems that sometimes its better to remove and re-install then updating an app...

Glad to hear you got it sorted.
To Uninstall / Install a DJI app is more and more getting a common problem solver.

...I don't give up that easy...  I started this topic because I think GS Pro is a nice app with potential and I'm sure I'm not the only one who is using it and may have problems with it.

Now DJI developers can read about the things we stumble upon, fix them and make this app better... and don't forget, this app is for free!
