Hi-res drone footprint planner: nadir plus rings of tilted photos from one spot

What MavicMapper plans for you

• Rings: spaced by side overlap, photos per ring by front overlap, up to the highest ring tilt you set (−90° = nadir only, 0° = horizon).
• Aircraft yaw: DJI Fly cannot rotate the aircraft in place, so MavicMapper turns it via waypoint headings on a tiny circle (2 m between points).
• Coverage is reported as the reach on the ground or “to the horizon”.

8 built-in hi-res footprint presets

One tap loads a complete, proven setup – then adjust anything.
