Dronelink with Mavic Air 2S
Hi.
I am in the process of evaluating and of course (if suitable and meet my requirement) will subscribe to Dronelink.
Before I proceed to subscribe, I have the following queries:
- Previously, I am using Mavic2Pro. Currently I just bought new Mavic Air 2S. I have been using Litchi for defining the waypoint. In Litchi application, should I loss the connection, the my Mavic2Pro will keep to continue the mission until completed and RTH (subject to batter is enouogh). I have this option of whether continue the mission or RTH during loss connection. However, Mavic Air 2S does not permit to continue the mission (predefined waypoint mission) should the connection loss, as the is no option to continue the mission should the connection loss. Instead, the available option is RTH (as normal flying mode).
- My question, whether dronelink have the capability of continue the predefined waypoint mission should the signal loss of RTH as for the cases of Litchi when using Mavic Air 2S.
Appreciate your prompt and sincere response on this.

If by "continue" you mean continue uninterrupted when you have no signal then - no - this is a limitation of the DJI SDK.
However, if you can reestablish the connection, the Dronelink will allow you to automatically resume from where you stopped even if that is between waypoints, whereas Litchi only allows you to resume from a specific waypoint.
Hi Rusman. Just some info regarding Litchi and your M2P. The A2S as all the newer DJI drones do not have on onboard waypoints capability. The last DJI consumer drone which had onboard waypoints capability was the M2P. So whether you use Dronelink or any other 3rd party app you will need a constant, good connection with the A2S as well as most other DJI drones. With the DJI’s Ocusync transmission system it should not be a major issue.
Also when using onboard waypoints you lose a lot of what Dronelink offers using the Virtual Stick method. There are limitations with onboard waypoints. Just some thoughts and info.
Good luck and Enjoy. Mike…..

I am not understand what's the Virtual Stick method. What's the difference with the onboard waypoints. Sorry as I am still naïve on this subject.
Click on that link I gave. Here is a summary of the link I gave regarding Virtual Stick. A lot of drones don’t have Onboard capability.
Virtual stick missions send commands in real-time as a human pilot would using the sticks on a remote control. While this approach does require a constant connection to the drone, it unlocks many features in Dronelink that are not possible with onboard waypoints, such as the advanced settings on Map, Facade, and Inspection components.
The virtual stick approach also unlocks automated missions for drones that do not support onboard waypoints, such as the Mavic Mini and Mavic Air 2.
All Mini’s, the MA2 and A2S as well as others don’t support onboard waypoints. Hope this helps.
