    Coordinated turns

    Tried yesterday and did not get it right. For a full turn, do you have to go diagonally on the right stick and get about halfway on the left?

    Litchi zoom function with Mavic Air

    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 had the MA updated with the .500 firmware and have realized that the speed was slower (60kmh downwind, 50kmh upwind in sports mode, 23-25kmh in pmode). I then thought a little about the speed recently on the .400 and found the speed was pretty much the same recently. I remembered that even the...
