We will visit both sides. I'm not worried about the mist. I have gotten my drone caught out in the rain a few times, and there was no problem.

Excellent idea!

I obtained these photos with a crummy little camera in 2002.

In May, will be visiting Iguazu Falls, which is located on the border between Brazil and Argentina. This is the most spectacular falls in the world. I have been there once before. I would love to get some drone footage, but drones are not permitted in the park. I'm wondering if anyone has any...

Thanks so much for the replies!

Last year, I was considering upgrading from Phantom 4 Pro to Mavic 3 Pro, but it wasn't possible at the time to use Litchi with the Mavic. Is this now possible? If so, will missions created for the Phantom work with the Mavic?

It contains drone footage as stated in the post.

I obtained some drone footage during the eclipse of 2024. I aimed the camera in the direction of the approaching shadow. At first, the sky appears dark far in the distance. As totality approaches my location, the sky in the distance starts to brighten and my location becomes darker. The footage...

I never enabled this setting. I have an older iPad. Perhaps it was the default on older versions, which have less storage space.

I posted this on the PhantomPilots forum, but I thought it might be appropriate here as well. I have occasionally had an annoying problem and finally realized what was going on and how to avoid it. The iPad has a "feature" in which apps that aren't used for a while will automatically offload...

I haven't yet gotten a Mavic, but I just found a convenient way to combine the series of raw 4K video files that are created by a Phantom 4 Pro. If the Mavic does something similar, this might be useful for owners of that model. I work on a Mac and had always used Quicktime to merge files. With...

My comment that follows is based on P4P experience. I have found that, when launching and recovering in tight quarters, the sensors can be more of a hinderance than a help. I once launched from a small opening in the jungle on a mountain in Peru. During the recovery, the drone kept hovering just...

Whoa! I'm glad to have come across this discussion. I had been giving some thought to getting an M3E on the basis of claims that that drone is compatible with Litchi.

I'm not looking for a one-to-one comparison. I just don't want to give up essential capabilities. As mentioned previously, the used drone market is very risky. For now, I will be very careful not to lose my P4P and hope the Mavic 3 eventually allows Litchi.

Thanks for all of the inputs. I am curious what others think of the fact that Litchi cannot be used with the Mavic 3. Litchi is extremely powerful, and it is extremely well done in every way. You can set up and save missions on the web that are automatically linked to your iPad. The combination...
