Considering wether I should give Litchi a go. The main attraction would be the new zoom function to use with my mavic air. I mostly shoot 1080p so loss of res is not really an issue, but would really have liked a narrower field of view.
I know I could crop in post but that may not always work...
I do like the improved APAS speed. Have flown w/o it till .500, but it tops 25kmh now (instead of 14). Top speeds a little lowered, but overall huge improvement with regards to making in a very smooth video cam with details like keeping the cam view of the props at all times and angles...

I've notived the following:
- Active track more stable
- Camera angles keeps camera view off props
- APAS speed improved to some 25kmh (instead of some 13 kmh)
People also noticed:
- Fixes on obstacle avoidance during landing in RTH
- No sideways movement after take-off
The general feel for...
