Facade missions Vertical Grid flying
I have a Mavic 3 and a mini 4 PRO, so none of these are compatible with Dronelink. Also, the walls that I have to fly are recently build and can not be found on google maps nore have they a real address. So what I think to do is:
Fly with DJI FLY to the left upper corner of the wall and somehow record the coordinates of the way point. I believe this can not be done to store the coordinates but I can write them down. Do the same with 3 other corners.
Then I have to create manual waypoints into dronelink. Dont now if i have to do this in waypoints or in facade??? And dont know how to do this. After, have to create a grid (dont now how to do this either) and after have to export to a kmz file, wich i will import into dji fly to fly the mission.
Question is, is this the best way to go, and how to do things, thanks, have been working on this for half a week.

The easiest way is to use adaptive facade: https://support.dronelink.com/hc/en-us/articles/19887771679123-Adaptive-Facade-On-the-fly-Mission-for-Vertical-Mapping-and-Inspections
Of course, as you stated, this will not work with your drones.
I agree but unfortunately, i dont have a drone able to fly drone missions. What do you think about my plan that does not needs to buy a new drone? In fact I am quite sure it will work, only have to now how to insert the waypoints I collected from DJI FLY into dronling, thanks a lot.
If you don’t have a drone that can fly with Dronelink, what is the point of putting the points into Dronelink?
To make a vertical and horizontal grid and export it into a kmz file to fly it with the dji Fly app.
Other possibility would be to buy a unexpensive mini 3 or mini 3 pro (what would you advise) and fly the whole thing in dronelink. What worries me is that "dronelink for mini is not available on google play???) what about that?
Dronelink doesn’t export any files that are compatible with DJI Fly.
The APK for the Mini 3 is a direct download straight from us - why does this bother you?
its even better, no problem at all, what about the first part of my post? thanks
Why not pick up a mini2, you can use that with Dronelink, and its quite capable of flying the adaptive facade that Jim McAndrew mentioned above
The issue with your approach is that is doesn’t account for the inaccuracy of the sensors on these consumer drones (no RTK). If you look towards the bottom of the article I linked, Dronelink has several features to help overcome this issue with adaptive drone offsets and georectification, both of which are very important when flying close to structures.
ok, i see you dont like my sollutioon and you will be right i suppose. So there is only one sollution left : by a mini 2, mini 3 or mini 3 pro. I would appreciate to have your oppinion on those. I have the mini 4 but this one is not compatible. What controler do I need and what screen or phone. Then it will all be in dronelink as you suggested . Thanks, I think we are close to a conclusion here. Thanks again
A friend asked me just if I would by his air 2 S that he never uses. I know the drone because its one of mine I sold to him. Would that be a even better choice ?
Yeah an air2s would do it, use an RC-N1 controller with a decent Android device, I fly my mini2 with Galaxy Tab 7FE or LG-V50, or Galaxy Fold Z4 (prior to this i had used a Fold Z2)
Tu es vers où ?
Also, to be clear, adaptive facade (with drone offsets and georectification) requires Growth.
Sorry, but English is not native to me, what do you mean by Growth (I was thinking about getting taller - but it must mean different in this context) Thanks
Got it, its the name of the plan
ok, if I take the Growt plan, and for some rasons it does not meet my expectations and I have sighed in for a year, can I get out of it (and recover my money pro rata?) Thanks
You can take Growth a month at a time, you don't have to sign up for a full year, check out here
