I just got my Mini 2 and tried this today, my first day playing with it. I understand your desire to get this working for easy wireless access of drone photos on your computer. Let me know if you figure it out, I get the same exact failures to connect as you describe.

I have a related question, I want to fly the exact same path, but from two different takeoff points which are about 50ft different in elevation. How should I do this in Litchi hub? Are the elevations I set in the hub always relative to the takeoff point elevation? Or if you check the box, it's...

Hey, I have some similar footage but from summertime! Looks much better in winter. Did you not try flying UNDER the bridge?? :p

I think the Mavic Pro still has some notable advantages that will make it the preferred choice for many, especially since they're both $800 these days. And it's simply a smart strategy on DJI's side. As technology continues to get smaller it makes sense that they either put the same tech in a...

It would be interesting to have a tracker that (as an option) doesn't turn on the radios until 1/2 hour after you turn on the tracker. That way you have 1/2 hour to fly with no interference, and if something goes wrong and it's crashed somewhere you just wait for the 1/2 hour to pass and then...

Can someone confirm? Does the Mavic orient to home before climbing to RTH altitude, while climbing, or after climbing?

I don't see how this is true, since I only seemed to have two options, both requiring visuals. (1) I could orient to home and then lower altitude to just above the tree tops in hopes of lighter wind or (2) I could land in a safe spot and walk/drive to recover my drone. I could not return into...

The wind was too strong to come back, how could I have got it safely on the ground without the visuals from the app?

The last position logged (26.9s) was under 50m from homepoint, it flew for another ~15 minutes being pushed by the wind and my desperate attempts, at one point I recall the controller reading 2000m distance. I don't think the log data is going to help at all. I drew a 2km radius circle on Google...

I can't believe DJI is allowing this firmware with so many reported problems into the wild! They need to be pushing notifications into the app to not use it... or something! For every 100 Mavic owners who check here weekly there are several thousand Mavic owners who don't. Yeah, first thing I...

That's a neat tool! Unfortunately, the log stops 26.9s into the flight, the first app crash. None of the reboots started a new log.

Yes, I acknowledge it's not DJI's fault my drone ended up in a strong wind. But of course none of us are putting up some sort of kite or balloon to evaluate windspeeds at 100ft before we send our drone that high. My method, which has always worked when the app works, is to go up slowly, at the...

Being unaware of this issue caused me to lose my Mavic today :( Catastrophic app failure -- result, Mavic lost :*(

I regret not being an active member here and wish I had seen this thread yesterday :( Today I lost my Mavic because of this app crash. In hindsight maybe I should suspect every single update of any kind (mavic, app, and phone!) and do very controlled testing before heading out... but let's be...

So today I lost my precious Mavic. Backstory: I was in a pretty remote, forested, mountainous area, but with a number of roads, cabins, and clearings also. Definitely very low extraneous radio signals, in fact I had no cell service in the area. (iPhone 6S, iOS 11.2.1, DJI Go 4.1.18) The...
