    Litchi Limitation

    Cool, I increased speed to 20MPH and ran the Waypoints again. and it worked like a charm. I also had 55% battery remaining after the lap and 6:29 of recording time. I don't know what happened to the battery earlier, I must have misread it. I will have to be more careful about pulling...

    Litchi Limitation

    I just tried to fly a perimeter flight of my subdivision. Calculated flight time 11 min, distance 2.1 miles. Cruse speed 15 mph. There is a little bit of wind, but not too much. Drone had 98% battery at start of mission. I lost connection after a couple of minutes. The drone was maybe...

    Litchi Limitation

    Everyone just go here and request the beta. Beta - Litchi IOS users will have to send an email, the address is at the link. I have also been using it for a few weeks and it is pretty awesome. I am going out to West Texas this weekend and hope to get some more interesting shots than the...

    Spark sales

    If I was going to buy another drone, I would go direct to DJI and get a refurbished unit. WAY cheaper and full warranty. Go check it out on the DJI site.

    Waiting for waypoint app

    Autopilot has and "active track" function, that really works well. It is called Airspace. You run a free companion app on the subjects IOS device that is used as the POI. The drone will fly any of the standard paths like circle, spiral, etc while keeping the POI as the camera target. You can...

    DJI Go 4 vs Litchi vs Airmap vs Autopilot with IOS

    Koffe, I have a bad battery in my iphone and it goes from 30-40% to dead sometimes in a couple of minutes. I let the battery get low and it went into power save mode, the app lost connection to the controller / Spark (probably because wifi went down) and the Spark just hovered where it was...

    DJI Go 4 vs Litchi vs Airmap vs Autopilot with IOS

    koffe, Switching to Sport mode disengages any fancy features you may be getting from the 3rd party software and allows the drone to be controlled from the remote in manual mode.

    DJI Go 4 vs Litchi vs Airmap vs Autopilot with IOS

    Bob, Spark does not have internal waypoint storage like its larger siblings. (at least it is not available) Autopilot and Litchi store waypoint info in the drone for autonomous flying. Since Spark does not have said storage, Autopilot does this through their software and your controller for...

    DJI Go 4 vs Litchi vs Airmap vs Autopilot with IOS

    Yes, I keep my stuff fully updated. I haven't had much luck with the DJI Go 4 app without the OTG cable, I just use it 100% of the time I use Go 4 ... I only have the 2 batteries that came with the Fly More Combo, but am ordering the remote recharger and 2 more batteries from DroneNerds since...

    DJI Go 4 vs Litchi vs Airmap vs Autopilot with IOS

    I use DJI Go with cable for normal flying and haven't had issues since adding the cable. I also have 20 Waypoint Missions on Autopilot. The 3rd party apps don't seem to be able to use the direct link cable, so you have to go wireless for them. I picked Autopilot because they have more support...

    Spark deal or Parrot Anafi?

    If you are going to buy refurbished, why not go to DJI itself? They sell Spark Fly More Combos also for $389... I would rather deal with DJI than someone off ebay.
