Altitude

Lock in precise flight height for consistent resolution, leveraging the Mini 5 Pro’s altitude stability.

Speed

Adjust drone speed to balance capture detail and efficiency—optimized for long 50-minute flights.

Gimbal Angle

Harness the 1-inch sensor at any tilt (–90° to 0°) for nadir precision or oblique detail.

Distance Between Paths

Configure spacing to maximize LiDAR-assisted mapping accuracy across your survey area.

Premium Generation Settings

Dynamic Altitude Adjustment

Auto-adjust height to terrain using onboard sensors for uniform ground sampling distance—even over rugged landscapes.

Waypoint Actions

Add custom triggers—photos, pauses, or camera angle shifts—at every waypoint for richer data collection.

Reverse Points

Re-fly missions in reverse order to capture alternate lighting or complementary oblique angles.

Line Orientation

Select East-West or North-South passes to optimize sun angle and obstacle-avoidance paths.

Straightened Flight Paths

Benefit from 360° obstacle detection while keeping flight tracks perfectly linear.

Import KMZ Missions

Seamlessly edit DJI Fly KMZ files—extend, refine, or adapt previous Mini 4 Pro missions for Mini 5 Pro.

Generate All Points

Output waypoints at every grid intersection—ideal for LiDAR + visual data fusion.

Image Overlap Control

Adjust overlap percentages for sharper 3D reconstructions using the upgraded 1-inch sensor.

KMZ Installer

Transfer missions to DJI RC 2/RC Pro controllers instantly for field-ready execution.
