Hello,

I read about the new waypoint feature in the updated DJI Go4 app and wonder whether it can be used in a slightly different way.

Imagine a point in the air. I've got my drone at that point, waiting for the (still) image to be taken. Then at some stage I need to change the battery. I wonder if it is possible to make the drone (or the app) remember that particular position so that after changing battery I can just say "now go back to that position"?


Thanks for helping me think and best regards,
Ralph

The new CAPTCHA crap is the last straw.

Thanks  Brett - great idea!  I kinda knew there must be a way - I just couldn't figure it out Will try asap.

Cheers!
Ralph

Hi, thanks for the inquiry. We're sorry that this process is not possible for this specific feature. Interrupting the waypoints procedure may require you to repeat the process, or load your saved waypoints again to finish the task. Thanks for understanding.

Is this reply for real? Do they actually bother reading the thread?
They don't even know how to use their own product.....

I totally agree!
Maybe they get paid for each post or comment they make?
90% of their comments dont make sense at all...

This is also a good way to do time lapse photography.  If you were building a house or something, you can run a waypoint mission to put your drone at the exact same place each week to take a shot.  Better yet, it can move around to 4 or 5 pre-determined spots and take a shot.  When the house is complete, you can put together a nice video of all of the shots.

I would setup two waypoints. Have the start point above you around the Home Point. Make the second waypoint the position you wish to take the picture from and since it is the end, just tell it to hover when mission is over. If you have your RTH Return To Home setup, it should hover there until the battery gets low enough and starts the RTH procedure. When it gets back to the home point, change the battery and start the mission over...

Ah, what a clever approach.

I don't think they get paid by number of replies.
And I think I've read somewhere in forum rules or something DJI stuff is excluded from exchanging points for credits.

Bots get paid? How does that work?

So you say that all the admins are bots that auto reply with messages that just guesstimates the correct reply?

Nope... I just said they are prolly not paid by a NUMBER of responses. Obviously, they are paid for responding here... but I don't find any correlation between the NUMBER of responses and their wage amount.

My point was, that 90% of their replies doesnt make any sense, and are just filling up the threads with unnecessary posts.

Looks good in forum statistics I guess... Probably some language barrier as well.

Each single photo you take by the drone has hidden details attached, those details are about time camera type and GPS coordinates included. Just need an app that shows them.

Its called EXIF, and can be revealed by most editing apps, such as Lightroom and Photoshop

You can do exactly that, your waypoints are recorded and saved,

It’s strange people complaining about bots giving wrong standard information, while they give no help at all, just clog up a thread we’re OP is looking for some help.
