Thank you for sharing the news with us.

Given that last firmware was released 3-4 months ago, we should expect it anytime soon right?

Hi jpap, please stay tuned to the latest news on our DJI official website. And I will forward your suggestion to the related department. Thank you for your support.

I am also disappointed in the performance of Waypoints 2.0 with the Mavic 2 (M2Z here).  I did some tests comparing a Waypoints 2.0 route vs. a regular Point of Interest 2.0 (circle).

Waypoints 2.0 video was always jerky in my tests, both at the waypoint transition and traveling between waypoints.  Tested both Polyline and Arc, various speeds (down to 2mph, up to 15mph), different angles, number of waypoints, etc.  Youtube has other examples of the jerky motion.  My guess is the gimbal is not being used (or used enough) to help smooth things out left/right and tracking is just being accomplished (and under/over compensated) by the yaw of the M2.

Point of Interest 2.0 worked pretty well.  After the M2 figured out the radius, the video of the circle around the POI was smooth.

Ideally, Waypoints 2.0 should be as smooth as POI 2.0.  Unfortunately, POI isn't a substitute for Waypoints.

Hoping a fix comes soon (or eventually).

After 4 yrs with my Phantom 4, my new Mavik 2 Pro impresses me with a lot of the improvements, including much of what Waypoints 2.0 mode offers. BUT, as others have noted, the jerky flight transitions at each programmed waypoint make this mode cinematically unusable. Even the Arc mode doesn't smooth it out. Am I missing something? Seems a long time for DJI to let this issue go unresolved.

I think you’ll find that the problem has already been fixed .

Not really. Its smoother now, no more that jerky, but POI with waypoints is still not useable.

We constantly here this , but have never seen any footage, so maybe post footage so we can see what’s going wrong .

My M2P just arrived, but I have not opened it yet. Can someone confirm this jerky panning in Litchi is no longer and issue (POI or otherwise) while I am still able to return it?
