    Litchi Waypoint Mission - gimbal pitches up and down continously

    Ah, forgot to mention...I retimed the clips, speeding them up by X2 to reduce the oversize for streaming and to make my points more quickly. Actually I went back to my Phantom4 and looks like it worked as expected. To be fair to the Mavic I made two alterations - 1) I really simplified both...

    Litchi Waypoint Mission - gimbal pitches up and down continously

    @dwallersv, I believe so. I've uploaded a video clip of the front nine with notes in the clip of what I expected vs what actually happened. below are the missions created in Mission Hub. My biggest concern has been focusing. I've noted on earlier runs that it was out of focus. With the mavic i...

    Litchi Waypoint Mission - gimbal pitches up and down continously

    @Logger, first, it wouldn't be practical to find a centralized point from which to run the missions. I plan to create a time lapse of the greens as they grow in over the summer. Since I still have to make a living I can zip over to the course, run the missions then back to work. Can't take the...

    Litchi Waypoint Mission - gimbal pitches up and down continously

    P.S. - I hit return to home after I believed the drone had finished it mission. It was hovering about 500ft away which is about where the mission ended. I thought I had set "return to first way point" at the end of the mission but guess not...

    Litchi Waypoint Mission - gimbal pitches up and down continously

    Gotcha! Yeah, what I was trying to do still didn't work. I can't get the greens center frame even after multiple tries. The key here is that the RC is controlling the gimbal pitch and, not always, but more than infrequently I'm getting blasted with radio interference thus loosing RC control of...

    Litchi Waypoint Mission - gimbal pitches up and down continously

    I set a POI then I use focus poi to get the angle then set the waypoint to interpolate to use that angle. Seems to work. Ok, have to ask, is that antenna you're flying near active? The obvious answer is signal interference from the antenna if it's broadcasting. That's what I'm having problems...

    Litchi Waypoint Mission - gimbal pitches up and down continously

    Yeah, I figured....no, I've been able to visualize the path and more importantly the coverage of my points of interest. This method revealed several important adjustments to the missions which saved me lots of time! Great tool! Thanks,

    Litchi Waypoint Mission - gimbal pitches up and down continously

    The google 3D workflow tool was excellent. I was able to catch problems and correct on both front and back nine missions. Thanks!

    Litchi Waypoint Mission - gimbal pitches up and down continously

    Hey dwallersv, I switched to a different phone, same operating system, and it worked much better. I stopped using it as a phone due to way insufficient internal memory. But it runs Litchi and worked as it was supposed to. I was able to fly both missions and see where the tweaking is needed. For...

    Litchi Waypoint Mission - gimbal pitches up and down continously

    God I love the clarity of these cameras! Got ask, where was this shot? Love the mansion with the pool, tennis court and the rough looking, industrial neighborhood. Very nicely done. Very much liked the pan/reveal of the valley! Very pastoral including the guy mowing, I don't know, what is this...

    Litchi Waypoint Mission - gimbal pitches up and down continously

    Hi dwallersv, Yes I'm sure it's something locally interfering with the link between the RC and the Drone. To make matters worse, I'd set everything to interpolate, per Logger above. I used the mission hub to set up the course and checked everything over for correctness. I downloaded the...

    Litchi Waypoint Mission - gimbal pitches up and down continously

    Ok, sort of makes sense with signal loss however the gimbal starts acting erratic no too far into the mission, relatively close to the RC. I notice when just starting the mission the video signal deteriorates significantly, the point of not being able to see clearly through the camera. So...

    Litchi Waypoint Mission - gimbal pitches up and down continously

    I'm trying to create a waypoint mission using the Litchi App over our local golf course, which is closed to replace the greens. I want to fly over the greens every 3 days or so to watch the progress as they grow in. My problem is when I fly the mission the gimbal continuously pitches up and...
