DronePoint — Mission Planner

Mission type

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

Height (m) Speed (m/s)

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.

Interval shooting fewer waypoints

Draw a polygon. Spacing controls where photos are taken.

Waypoint actions
These actions fire at every waypoint in the mission, in the order listed. Default: set gimbal to nadir (−90°) then take a photo.

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

Runs at every waypoint, in order. Click a waypoint on the map to override individually.

Max waypoints / KMZ file

200 is the DJI maximum. Reduce to 50 if RC loads slowly.

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.
