Mission type

Draw a polyline on the map — each vertex becomes a waypoint.

Flight altitude
Height above the takeoff point in metres. Legal limits vary by country (typically 120 m). For mapping, 50–120 m gives good GSD. Lower = sharper photos but more waypoints.
Flight speed
Speed between waypoints in m/s. Slower = sharper photos (less motion blur), more battery used. 3–5 m/s is typical for mapping. Max varies by drone model.

Draw a polygon. Spacing is calculated from overlap % and your camera.

Track point of interest Pro
Point of interest
Set a 3D point (position + height) for the aircraft and gimbal to automatically track throughout the orbit — the camera stays framed on your subject no matter the radius or altitude.

This overrides the Gimbal pitch setting above, since pitch is now computed per waypoint to look at the point.

Click the map to set the point of interest.

Draw a polyline path to survey.

Waypoint actions
Actions run at every waypoint, in the order listed. New missions start with no actions — add "Take photo" if you want a photo at each stop.

Gimbal pitch below is a mission-level camera setting applied across the whole flight; it is not an action and doesn't count toward the free action limit. "Set gimbal pitch" is still available as an action for per-waypoint control.

To customise a single waypoint's actions, preview the route and click any waypoint dot on the map.

Runs at every waypoint, in order. None by default. Click a waypoint on the map to override individually.

Applied across the whole flight — not a waypoint action, doesn't count toward the action limit.

200 is the DJI maximum. 60 is recommended for reliable RC loading.

Terrain follow Pro
Takeoff point optional
Why this matters
Every waypoint height in DJI missions is relative to the takeoff point — not sea level. If your drone arms on a hill 20 m above the field, all your planned altitudes will be 20 m too low.

Set this to the exact spot where the drone will lift off. If left unset, the first waypoint is used as reference.

⚠️ Set your takeoff point

Terrain follow adjusts each waypoint's altitude based on the ground elevation relative to your takeoff point.

If your takeoff elevation is wrong, every waypoint will be off by that same error — potentially flying into the ground or too high.

Before exporting: scroll down to Takeoff point and click Set on map to mark the exact spot where the drone will lift off.
