    DJI Waypoints Repeatability Test - Logs vs Real Flight Path (Mini 5 Pro & Mavic 3 Pro)

    In DJI Fly, the three waypoints are used as control points on a spline. DJI uses a Catmull-Rom spline for their missions. It is the spline that is used while executing the mission, not the control points directly. Both DJI Fly and Litchi's new Mission Hub compute the path the same way when...

    DJI Waypoints Repeatability Test - Logs vs Real Flight Path (Mini 5 Pro & Mavic 3 Pro)

    I've done a number of projects showing construction progression where the same flight is repeated and the video footage blended together. What you have documented is a common problem where it becomes a challenge to seamlessly blend footage from one flight to the next. A few comments on your...

    Virtual Litchi Mission

    I have a page with a tutorial on how to set up the Google Elevation API and a section on enabling your "Google Billing Account". Once you go to the billing page, make sure you have a credit card on file under "Payment Method". https://www.litchiutilities.com/docs/googleAPI.php

    Where to buy recently released DJI drones from the US (updated daily)

    What this means is exactly what it says. "Shipped by Amazon" means it will eventually come from an Amazon warehouse. When the shipping date is this far in the future, it means that Amazon does not currently have it in stock but they are expecting a shipment from their supplier. Once Amazon...

    Where to buy recently released DJI drones from the US (updated daily)

    On Dec 4th, I bought a Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo Plus from "Air Foto" off of Amazon. It was the first time in a while that I saw it for $1159 and shipped from Amazon. I saw that the delivery was estimated between Dec 19 - 24. I wasn't too concerned about that delay. It just meant that a...

    Facade inspection

    I'm sorry, I thought you were looking for a better way to set up a facade mission. Sure, you can do it manually. Have you tried? It would be a tedious task. I wrote this utility to facilitate the creation of a facade waypoint mission making the setup much easier. To be clear, since your Air...

    Litchi Hub to DJI RC2 Mini 5 Pro Waypoint Issue

    This is because you have not selected a drone model for the mission. Select a newer model (Mini 4 Pro, Air 3, Mavic 4) and you will have the "Smooth Curves" option available to choose and can export a KMZ file.

    Mini 5 waypoints

    Yes, it does. Litchi Pilot supports whatever functions the current MSDK provides. In the case of the Mini 4 Pro, both native and VSC waypoints are supported in the MSDK.

    Mini 5 waypoints

    DJI did add support to the MSDK v5 for both the Mini 3 and Mini 4 Pro. The Mini 3 does not have native waypoints. Therefore, VSC is the only option for waypoints on that drone. It wasn't the MSDK that is crippled. Instead, it is the Mini 3 Pro that doesn't have native waypoint capability...

    Litchi RC2 vs RC PRO RM510

    While I am unable to test this myself (because I do not own either of those controllers), that is what I have been told by one of my "light-painting" colleagues. The Mavic 3 Pro has native waypoints. As a result, it is capable of continuing a waypoint mission after signal loss. However, in...

    Litchi RC2 vs RC PRO RM510

    I can confirm that the DJI RC and the DJI RC2 both struggle when loading missions at around 200 waypoints. It is likely due to memory limitations. I work with people who fly large waypoint missions with a Mavic 3 Pro and a Mini 4 Pro. As I said, the RC and RC2 both struggle with moderate...

    Waypoint Mission (IMPOSSIBLE) !!!!! 🇦🇮🦘

    Start your own thread and post both your waypoint mission and your flight log. Without those, we can only guess what happened.

    Anomalies during a waypoint mission

    He has already inquired about this in the Litchi forum. His Mini 5 Pro momentarily stops several times during the flight. The flight log includes 29 "Home point updated" messages and numerous "Downlink Restored" messages despite the fact that he did not update his home point and was less than...
