I checked out the NLD website and it wasn't exactly clear on how much it cost or how exactly it worked. Looks like the software installs on Windows. Do you then connect your drone to your computer for the NFZ's to be removed? If you launch DJI Go 4 or update your FlySafe database, does it...

I have been flying drones for about 4 years now. Started out with a Mavic Platinum Pro and about 8 months ago I bought a Mavic 2 Pro. I usually use Litchi for flying waypoint missions but occasionally check in with DJI Go 4 to make sure my AC and RC2 firmware are current. With over 100+ flights...

I use an Android tablet and just make sure that the default box is not checked for either Go4 or Litchi. You do this in the Android settings, Apps. This way each time you start your RC, the tablet will ask if you want to launch GO4 or Litchi and I just double tap the one I want rather than tap...

Just tried your tool and it worked great! Was able to easily set up a spiral from 100 feet to 250 feet with 4 revolutions. So easy to work with and video came out fantastic! I love my Mavic 2 Pro and I love Litchi and now I love the Mission Utilities for Litchi. Thanks.

A couple things you might want to think about with this. If your last waypoint in within 20 meters, that's horizontally not vertically, of your home point, the RTH behavior can be different. I've had cases where it just started descending at the last waypoint or moved a little closer to the...

Just to beat this to death one more time, I purchased a SanDisk Pro-Reader MultiCard and pulled the Micro SD from my drone and transferred 6 video files totalling about 20GB and got a consistent transfer speed of 150-155 MB/s. I ran the test multiple times. My USB 3.2 cable alone never got...

Interesting. What were you charging, your phone? What app gave you those amp readings?

With "Alternate Directions" set, the drones heading will always face the direction of flight. With the "Single Direction" set, the drone will always keep the same heading regardless of the drones direction of flight. It will fly backwards on the return legs of the grid to keep the drone and...

Interesting data. It seems like the SD reader is really the fastest method. I am surprised you didn't get better speed with that recommended cable. I am using a SanDisk 128GB Micro SD A2 U3 V30 rated at 160MB/s in my drone and I consistently got the 30MBps with my USB2 cable and jumped to...

Totally agree. My only point of this thread was to point out that a cable change alone more than doubled my transfer speed with all other factors remaining the same (ie same drone, SD card and computer). Thanks for your input.

So if I'm getting 70 MB/s through the USB-C port on the drone, that's pretty close to what you are getting with the card reader. I may make 5 flights in a day and want to check the video after each flight and taking that micro SD card out 5 times, getting that little flap cover open and...

I was recording 4k@ 30 fps on my MPP which resulted in a 4GB file for 9 minutes of video. Transferring a couple files took 10 to 12 minutes for 18 minutes of video. Just painfully slow. As for the new cable I just bought, I must have got lucky that it supported the higher USB speeds.

What actual speeds do you get on your file transfers using a card reader?

My notes from when I was testing the speed of various methods of transfer said I was getting 20 MBps via the SD card adapter thing and plugged it in to the SD slot on my computer. Not sure if that is what you mean by reader, or if it is a separate box designed to read SD cards.

Hopefully, this isn’t all old news, but I’ve had a Mavic Platinum Pro for the past 3 years and always transferred data from the drone to my computer vis the micro USB port on the drone. The best transfer speed could get was 7 MBps, that’s mega BYTES per second. The transfer rate took almost as...
