    Hi stillflyin, I'm visiting my sister and her family in Brewster this weekend. Brought my Mavic but forgot the charger. Any chance I could borrow yours for a couple of hours to charge my batteries (2)? I'll pick up and return. Hope you get this message. Gary Pirnat 714-595-6499

    Disturbing: Litchi panorama. Every eighth pic is our of focus...

    While reviewing the last two panoramas I shot (34 pics, 4 rows of 8. I know that doesn't add up.) I noticed that #8, #16 and #26 photos were greatly out of focus, both times. I recently re-calibrated my gimbal as the horizon was a couple of degrees off. Started right after that. Any thoughts?

    USA Forest Flight

    Sad to see so many sequoias dying or dead... How did you get permission to fly in a national park?

    NFZ with permission - DJI says "no"

    This may be an ignorant question but can't you simply switch to another app like Litchi?

    Litchi Question regarding Waypoint Flying

    Hi Ed, Well, unfortunately it didn't go as planned. As a test run I set several waypoints at the same height as the take off point (98 feet) expecting a relatively level flight out around the canyon. Once the Mavic reached the 1st waypoint it headed for the second point. (All good so far.)...

    Litchi Question regarding Waypoint Flying

    Excellent thought process. I'll do just that. This should be interesting. Going to fly it this weekend. Thanks again!

    Litchi Question regarding Waypoint Flying

    Thanks Ed... I suspected as such but wanted confirmation. I'll do a short test run of a few points out and back. I thought about setting it up to follow the terrain but from that height I can't tell how tall the trees are, and there are just a few but mostly scrub. Thanks again. Gary

    Drone vs Dog

    To piggy back on this... I was out flying my Mavic yesterday at a local park doing waypoints about 150 feet up and practicing panorama shots. A few people came over to watch amazed that the drone was following a pre-selected path. On it's way back another Mavic appeared piloted by a kid and...

    Litchi Question regarding Waypoint Flying

    I'll be flying my Mavic into a canyon from about 150 feet above the bottom. Waypoint 1 height is set at 98 feet above my take off point, and so are the rest of the waypoints. Is the 98 foot height maintained throughout the flight (98 feet above take off point) making the flight level or will it...

    I've spaced them as much as 600 feet apart with no issues...

    Litchi no longer updating new waypoint missions from PC to Tablet...

    Last week I was able to plot a waypoint mission with Litchi and it automatically showed up on both by tablet and smartphone's mission folder. Yesterday I created several missions I wanted to fly over the weekend but they're not transferring to either device, but are still present on my PC. Is...

    Tablet use

    Thanks for the info. Don't think I'm up to the task of changing the ROM but fortunately I have a son in law who is. Thanks for the help.

    Tablet use

    I'm using the same tablet with the mavic and have had nothing but trouble. DJI GO 4 works sometimes and Litchi used to work but no longer does, even the updated 4.01 version. Do you have a secret to your success you're willing to share? Thanks.
