Desktop Waypoints
Plan Your Mission at Home on Your Controller
Plan Smarter Before You Even Leave Home
Did you know you can create and refine waypoint missions on your DJI RC2 controller from the comfort of your desk?
In this tutorial, I show you how to use a “desktop survey” approach — planning your flight path, positioning waypoints, and refining movement before you arrive on location.
This means:
• Less pressure in the field
• More accurate framing
• Faster setup on arrival
• Better repeatable results
It’s a calm, practical way to improve precision and confidence before take-off.
Simple preparation. Better cinematic results.
