    Flying low at constant height

    I use Litchi, not DJI Go 4 for Waypoint flights and Pre-program my Waypoint missions on my laptop with "Mission Hub" which gives the ability to specify the waypoint 'Height Above Ground" level to fly uneven terrain. I use it to fly low up and down small hills and it works great. I will use it...

    The “Aha” moment. I got it!

    Those of us who are (Red/Green) color blind know all the issues we have with many different experiences in life which normal color vision people don't quite understand. "What color do you see when you look at something RED?" Duh.......

    Best Waypoints App ?

    I use Litchi and DJI Go 4. I purchased ($25) Litchi specifically for the Off-Line Mission building capability with my laptop and syncing with my phone along with some other nice features I found to be well worth the small expenditure. I'm a rookie to drone flying my Mavic Pro and used DJI Go...

    Tablet for MavicPro Platinum

    I've been flying DJI Go 4 and Litchi with my Samsung Galaxy S9. Works great, no problems. BUT, the screen is too small for my liking so I just "ordered" a refurbished Samsung Tab S3 that originally came out in 2017. The latest model I believe is the Tab S6. I saw lots of good reviews on...

    Litchi and DJI Go 4 on Android Tablet to fly Mavic Pro

    WOW mereflyer. That is quite the rig you created for your flying adventures as Pilot in Command. Is what I see in the controller handle area a "checklist" for you to use? If yes..... great idea. The tablet screen cover looks awesome. Having read lots of reports on different...

    Tablet for MavicPro Platinum

    Andrew, I have the same question. I've been using my Samsung Galaxy S9 smart phone with my Mavic Pro controller and it works great for the DJI Go 4 and Litchi apps. Why Litchi? Because I love the off-line ability to build Waypoint Missions on my HP Envy Laptop, fly the virtual mission...

    Besides flying Drones.. What other hobbies does everyone enjoy?

    Cirrus SR20......... Nice ride. Our old vet who used to take care of our horses had one and used it to fly between his home in Palm Springs and here in Western Wyoming.

    Litchi and DJI Go 4 on Android Tablet to fly Mavic Pro

    Thanks for the input. Nothing better than getting "first hand" knowledge from people using the questioned technology. Did you try taking the S3 back to the version that worked OK? Is that even possible? rookie question.

    Hope you folks in Australia are getting a handle on the fires and will recover over time. The devastation to people and animals is so sad.

    Litchi and DJI Go 4 on Android Tablet to fly Mavic Pro

    When getting ready to install Litchi on my phone last month I read all I could about that and if I remember correctly it said to not download from Google Play but rather purchase from Amazon and download from there which is what I did without any problems. Thanks for your input.

    Litchi and DJI Go 4 on Android Tablet to fly Mavic Pro

    The drone rookie, but old geezer is back with another question, this time about upgrading/changing from using my Samsung S9 phone to a Samsung tablet for the Mavic Pro. I've put the cart before the horse and already purchased a controller tablet adapter that will handle a tablet up to 10"...

    Besides flying Drones.. What other hobbies does everyone enjoy?

    Blessed to live in the Jackson Hole Wyoming area after being retired from a National Laboratory in Livermore California 18 years ago. My wife and I enjoy the outdoors doing lots of ATV/UTV riding all summer. From May thru September I also volunteer as part of the Jackson Police Department's...

    New to Litchi and looking for settings advice in both DJI Go 4 and Litchi for Waypoint Missions

    I took some advice from others on this thread and have run a couple of my missions with the Virtual Litchi Missions in Google Earth Pro. Works like a charm once you learn the simple steps. Confusing at first but then it is pretty easy and quite revealing about your mission and waypoint...

    New to Litchi and looking for settings advice in both DJI Go 4 and Litchi for Waypoint Missions

    This evening I sat down with my Mavic Pro, controller and phone. I have both DJI Go 4 and Litchi loaded on the phone. I made sure both were not set as default and then connected the phone to the controller and fired up DJI Go 4 and the drone. Went into the settings and changed the Max...

    New to Litchi and looking for settings advice in both DJI Go 4 and Litchi for Waypoint Missions

    Thanks Rod, I will get out the drone, hook up my phone to the controller and fire up DJI Go 4 to see where the setting is.
