So the drone will automatically stop when it gets too near one of the helicopter icons? I guess helicopters will descend vertically (do they?) when they land, so there might not be much of a radius concern. AirMap does not mark this air field at all. I checked their website and it looks like...

I see helicopter icons, which I assume it means there is helicopter activity in that area. But they there's no radius indication, and no explanation as far as I can find. What do the icons actually mean? How reliable are they? Are these just where some known helicopter companies are flying...

OK so first DJI needs to release the sdk, and only after that can litchi begin the actual development on their end, and then beta testing etc? So even if dji releases it tomorrow we're still at least a few months off. Looks like the mavic mini sdk was released in July, and is in Beta as of...

I've watched some youtube videos, and it appears to me that they are quite a bit louder than the mavic air 2. My favorite thing about it is the low pitch, which makes it blend in with regular background noise for the most part if you fly it at 100+ meters. It doesn't have the "angry bees" sound...

Uggh, I misread the supported version from litchi (looks like only mavic air and not mavic air 2). I had the spark, and the most fun part for me by far was programming litchi waypoints, but the short flight time was an issue. So I upgraded to mavic air 2 and have great flight time but lost the...

Thank you, that's great. Exactly the type of thing I'm thinking of. I'll join that forum as well. I keep hearing about litchi and that it seems to do what I need it to do, but I don't think it's compatible with mavic mini. The spark however is the same price point and looks like it's compatible...

Thanks, checking it out!! I'm exploring different approaches...my goal is to have something that can fly from point A to predetermined point B, capture video, upload it to a cloud service, then land again and repeat it within the same battery cycle. I'm guessing by the time I've figured out this...

I just bought a mavic mini to get started with something, but my goal is to eventually get something that allows me to program the drone to fly and take video and then stream it to a cloud service like AWS kinesis. I'm pretty confused about the 3d party software etc, if anyone has any insights...
