    Any Reason to Avoid Litchi?

    Litchi's biggest strength is the Mission Hub and the ability to create your waypoint missions on the computer with a large monitor and mouse instead of trying to layout your missions on the tiny remote-control screen with your fingertip. Also is the ability to import and export the mission...

    Mavic Mini 3 Pro vs Mavic 2 Zoom for my purpose

    Yep, I would agree the M3 with the telephoto lens would be the best for remote spotting of poachers, however it is very hard to scan a large area with a long lens, but the “7x” should be able to keep you out of gun range. If you have the cash, defiantly the way to go. Given that budget seems to...

    DJI RC switched screens in mid flight

    This is a common problem that’s caused by inadvertently touching the screen not by a software glitch. I’ve watched many of my students have this problem using the SC, RC, and SC/RC Pro, the remote doesn’t matter, hand placement does. I experienced it a few times in Go4 when I got my first SC...

    Firmware 01.00.0790

    Just did a firmware update to 01.00.0790 on my M2Z. Does anyone know what was updated? I can't find anything about the update in the internet and it's been out since September. Thanks,

    The new version of the DJI Go 4 manual is now complete and available in printed form on Amazon Link to book. It's available in print and Kindle version, the Kindle version is free if you have the Kindle Unlimited service. A lot of work has gone into this to make it as complete and accurate as...

    This is the dumbest!

    The deliveries by UPS for CVS in The Villages is a Proof of Concept for a much larger and long-term delivery plan by UPS, the process must start somewhere. To-the-door deliveries are a long way away, as is profitability, as it is now there is no cost to the customers, it is all R&D budget money...

    Litchi Mission Hub and map cache

    The maps do not automatically cache when you create and download a mission, but you can make it happen. After you create your mission and still have your local wifi connection open the mission on the tablet/phone (at home). Now zoom in and out and move around the flight area and a little...

    Directional / Attitude Indicator (compass) question

    What aircraft are you flying? The only manual that mentions this outer ring is the Inspire 2 manual that Keule has shown a clip of for flight telemetry. I've not seen this on either the P4P or the MP that I fly.

    Comprehensive DJ Go/Go4 & LITCHI Manuals

    In addition to reorganizing the manuals and updating all the graphics in both manuals I am also adding additional content (maintenance, useful links and websites, etc.) to both. If after reading the current versions there is something you think I either got wrong, missed, needs more explanation...

    Comprehensive DJ Go/Go4 & LITCHI Manuals

    New revisions to both the Go and Litchi manuals are in the works. Just have to stop going out to fly so much, but that’s how I keep finding the things to update.

    Can you provide more information on the spry you used? Brand & where to buy?

    Are the motor covers worthy for the mini

    NO, the motors are open for a reason, too keep them cool, don't put covers on and block the cooling, very bad idea, looks nice but the cost of losing a a motor or aircraft not worth the risk.

    VIdeo settings / quality

    My suggestion is to maintain video recording at the highest frame rate and resolution possible as a starter. You can always lower the resolution and frame rate in post-production but you can't raise them. Lighting is of course an issue in most respects, try minimizing the amount of sky in your...
