DJI Drones That Support Waypoint Missions

Not every DJI drone supports waypoint missions. DroneGo.io uses the selected drone model to validate route speed, gimbal pitch, altitude and waypoint count against known capabilities and conservative planning defaults.
Specs and behaviour vary by firmware, region, controller, DJI app version and legal altitude limits. Test generated missions safely before commercial use.

Recommended / modern DJI Fly waypoint drones

These are the main DroneGo.io target models. DJI Fly waypoint routes commonly use speed from 0.1 m/s to 15.0 m/s. DroneGo.io uses 180 waypoints as a conservative default and keeps support language tied to the configured profiles rather than claiming universal DJI support.

Enterprise / DJI Pilot / non-DJI Fly waypoint drones

These aircraft may use DJI Pilot 2, GS Pro, SDK, enterprise waylines or different route-file behaviour. DroneGo.io can record their limits for validation, but the workflow must be tested on the actual aircraft and controller.

Examples: DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise / Mavic 3E, DJI Mavic 3 Thermal / Mavic 3T, DJI Matrice 30 / 30T, DJI Matrice 350 RTK, DJI Phantom 4 RTK and DJI Inspire 3.

Legacy waypoint drones

DJI Mavic Pro, Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic 2 Zoom, Phantom 4 Pro, Phantom 4 Advanced and Inspire 2 sit in the legacy / DJI GO 4 / GS Pro / Litchi-era category. Do not assume DroneGo.io KMZ compatibility without separate testing.

DJI GS Pro documentation describes 99-waypoint grouping for older GS Pro missions. That is separate from the current DJI Fly article, so DroneGo.io labels these as legacy rather than current DJI Fly KMZ targets.

Waypoint limitations

DJI Fly waypoint settings can include altitude, speed, aircraft heading, gimbal pitch, zoom mode, hover time and camera actions. DJI Mobile SDK legacy waypoint speed documentation uses 15 m/s as the relevant waypoint speed ceiling, and DJI WPML documentation notes that different aircraft can have different maximum speeds.

DroneGo.io labels limits as official DJI spec, conservative default, or needs real-device testing. It warns for speed above 15 m/s, gimbal pitch outside the selected drone range, legal altitude above 120 m by default, very close waypoint spacing and aggressive height changes.
