    iPad mini 4 for MAVIC question

    The cellular will give you GPS location and you don't need to pay any monthly fees or use the cellular capability for any other purpose. To me it's well worth it for the reasons geigy mentioned.

    iPad mini 4 for MAVIC question

    I was only referring to GPS and not GLONASS. It's a myth that iPads with cellular capability don't have true GPS. Here is a test where an iPad, iPhone, and a Moto Droid were all more accurate than a Garmin unit that they tested...

    iPad mini 4 for MAVIC question

    All mini 4's are pretty old (around 2 years old) at this point, and only have about half the performance of an iPhone 7 or iPad Pro.

    iPad mini 4 for MAVIC question

    That's not true. Cell towers and wifi can be used to determine approximate location when indoors and can also speed up the process of locking onto the GPS satellites outdoors, but iPhones, Android phones, and iPads with cellular all have true GPS location with similar accuracy to standalone...

    My distance and height have been restricted?

    Did you try changing the max altitude a couple of times (e.g. from 120 to 110 and then back to 120) just to try and force it to re-update the value in the aircraft? That's what I was suggesting earlier. I had the same issue and that fixed it for me.

    My distance and height have been restricted?

    I had this issue and checked the settings in DJI Go and it showed I had a max altitude setting of 120m with the max distance setting disabled so I couldn't understand why it was happening. So I decided to change the max altitude and distance settings a couple times. My theory was that the...

    Crystalsky display

    That's the big question. If perceived brightness is anything like perceived loudness, twice the nits wouldn't appear twice as bright. With sound it actually takes about 10 times as much power to produce something that's perceived as twice as loud, and twice the power is only 3 decibels louder...

    Litchi Waypoint has focus bug

    Have you guys checked that continuous autofocus (also known as AFC or AF-C) is disabled? Otherwise it might not matter how you set the focus at the start of the mission because it may be trying to adjust focus continuously as the mission progresses (which often doesn't work so well).

    My first Litchi missions - meh...

    It seems like it would be impossible to do smooth heading changes without using a curve unless they're very small heading changes. If you have curves turned off and you want it to fly in one direction to an exact point and then head off in a substantially different direction then it's pretty...
