Mavic 4 Pro waypoint mission planner
MavicMapper plans native DJI Fly waypoint missions for the DJI Mavic 4 Pro – orthomosaic and 3D mapping, POI orbits, façade scans, cinematic video paths, panoramas and hi-res footprints. Free, offline, for Windows. Every calculation uses the Mavic 4 Pro’s own camera (4/3 CMOS, 100 MP), wind limit (12 m/s), waypoint speed (15 m/s), gimbal range and battery.
Mavic 4 Pro in MavicMapper
- Four planner cameras: Hasselblad 25 MP (binned, 0.7 s interval) and 100 MP (2.5 s interval), plus 70 mm and 168 mm tele.
- Gimbal tilts −90° … +70°, so upward-looking façade and cinema moves are possible.
- Longest flight time of the group (51 min rated): the default usable battery budget is 26 min.
- Infinity gimbal: -90° … +70° controllable tilt; 100 MP needs a longer photo interval.

Values from the planner’s own tables (DJI spec sheets; minimum intervals and file sizes are planning values).
Ground resolution (GSD) and footprint by height
GSD = sensor width × height ÷ (focal length × image width). Footprint per photo below each value.

Mission types for the Mavic 4 Pro
From plan to flight
- Draw the area, place the POI or the wall line on the map and pick a preset.
- Check the 3D preview – it replays the real mission file with speed, stops, gimbal moves and photos.
- Export the KMZ – one mission per battery.
- Upload over USB to the controller (guide) or import by hand (guide).
- Set the camera in DJI Fly from the summary and fly within visual line of sight.
Frequently asked questions
Does the DJI Mavic 4 Pro support waypoint missions?
Yes – the Mavic 4 Pro flies native waypoint missions in DJI Fly. MavicMapper writes them as DJI WPML KMZ files and can upload them over USB to the controller.
What GSD does the Mavic 4 Pro reach for mapping?
With the Hasselblad 100 MP (100 MP) the ground resolution is about 0.60 cm/px at 60 m, 0.80 cm/px at 80 m and 1.21 cm/px at 120 m above ground.
How fast can the Mavic 4 Pro map with continuous capture?
At 80 m and 75 % front overlap the photo spacing is about 16.5 m. With a 2.5 s minimum photo interval the camera allows about 6.6 m/s; the planner also caps waypoint legs at 15 m/s and checks motion blur for your shutter.
Which camera modes can I plan with on the Mavic 4 Pro?
Planner cameras and photo modes: Hasselblad 100 MP (100 MP), Hasselblad 25 MP (25 MP), Tele (50 MP), Medium Tele (48 MP). Set the same mode in DJI Fly before the flight – a waypoint file cannot switch the lens or photo size.
Is MavicMapper free for the Mavic 4 Pro?
Yes. Free, no account, no subscription, runs 100 % locally on Windows.
