DJI excluded waypoints from Mavic Air, but luckily you plan an fly waypoints mission with the Litchi App that recently started to support Mavic Air.

This video shows you the simple steps to create a 4 waypoint mission with 2 points of interest



I think the map-based approach is better than DJI’s, what do you think?  

Thanks Henrik for a very informative video.  I am considering Litchi but I'm apprehensive as I'm still kinda new to droning.

Can you clarify what you mean about ignoring the waypoint settings at around 10:18 of the video?  You said, "With mixed missions you can't use curves, so you need it disable that...when you use curves it ignores the orders that it's given in waypoints."  

I don't understand?

Thanks!

Yes when you use curves, it ignores the commands given in the waypoint like take a photo, stop recording, etc.

Another great tutorial   

As of the moment, the waypoints feature is not supported by Mavic air using the DJI GO 4 app, however, we're not advising our customer to use any third party application due to that we will no option access the third party application in any case you might experience an incident with your aircraft. Kindly see the link below for our after sales service policy for further details.

Thanks Henrik.
As usual another great tutorial.. Will add it to my video file on tips.

Good video Henrik. Unfortunately, it also reveals you have a lot to learn about Litchi waypoints. You should start studying Litchi's Mission Hub at:  https://flylitchi.com/hub

And beware of the flight altitude on your mission.   

Fly safe, regards Leif.

Thanks for this link. I'm pretty sure there are my layers to the software.

BTW: Not claiming to be an expert on litchi ;-)

Hi, hopefully I have not written you have claimed to be an expert.

There are many things to learn before Litchi's waypoints really work for one. Now I can see you using the iOS version, which I know is different in some point from that to Android.

Keep up with the good video work.

Regards Leif.
