    Shooting D-Log in Litchi?

    Hi Guys, I'm having a hard time to find the setting to shoot D-Log in litchi. Can anyone point it out for me?

    Learn from my mistake and always set viable RTH altitude

    Oh, darn it, you are right! How I missed that... I think OA is disabled in Sport mode. That would be good, but may be not that much battery efficient or even precise (due to GPS error if flying in tight spaces like this). Current implementation of RTH is nice, if the pilot is not a dumbass...

    Learn from my mistake and always set viable RTH altitude

    Was not in sport mode, and OA was on. I think it is my fault it flew to the wall. I regained control a microsecond before this. I saw it going for the rock face and I may have panicked and smashed the wrong sticks. Props survived without a scratch! Cudos to DJI flying software for the ability to...

    Learn from my mistake and always set viable RTH altitude

    Yup! Change of pants was required at the end of this flight :)

    Learn from my mistake and always set viable RTH altitude

    So, basically I had set RTH altitude to the default 30 meters, thinking it should be ok. However, in the process of flying I decided to go in between some big rocks, way above this altitude. As many of you may expect, I lost RC signal when the drone went behind the rocks. Mavic started to RTH at...

    How to focus manually in Litchi?

    It is most likely the gimbal pitch.

    How to focus manually in Litchi?

    This is nonsense. Focus is optical focus - having converging the light rays emanating from an origin point. Having a sharp image of an object standing on a specific distance, if you say so. I've seen other apps that have controls on what distance MF is set to. It is a very important feature...

    Discovered something about Litchi today

    It's not start motors, because I have missions started with DroneHarmony or DroneDeploy and then switched to Litchi while the aircraft was still in the air. Got the airdata flight logged from this point on.

    How to focus manually in Litchi?

    Hi guys, I was flying at dark yesterday and I noticed Litchi has some issues focusing on anything. I have light windows, car beams, street lights - lots of light sources that I think can be used to autofocus. At least focusing on a light source is working on my DSLR and I think it should be...

    How to fly with two apps consequentially?

    Yeah, thanks! That worked. I still have issues starting DroneDeploy, but it seems it is different and it is an app-related issue.

    How to fly with two apps consequentially?

    Hi guys, I want to take off and take a few photos with Litchi and then switch to DroneDeploy and do a mission. But it seems only one app can be active in the same flying session. When I plug in the USB cable and connect remote, Litchi starts automatically. So far, this is fine. But when I quit...

    Strange issue involving disconnect

    Yeah... Checked the emission diagram for the rubber duck antenna - http://www.hsdivers.com/Ham/images/M9-2.png it looks like it is very weak above and below the axis. I would say one of the disconnect mysteries is solved. But why would the video feed not suffer from this, too?

    Strange issue involving disconnect

    No, I did not. I suppose this was the issue here.

    Strange issue involving disconnect

    Hey, guys, I've just had a weird experience last night. Tried an altitude test on 500 meters - now I know people will start bashing, but every precaution were taken (uninhabited region, open field far away from restricted zones, shelter for me). So, at one time drone stopped responding to...
