I know this suggestion is of no use to you now, but this would have been a great time to use the RTH function, assuming you had a safe RTH height set and clear skies directly above you.

I have this same landing gear and I really like it. I just got it so I've only used it on a couple of flights, but haven't seen any adverse effects. My first flight with them I was flying in 12-14mph winds and the Mini didn't have any problems.

The transmission channel doesn't have anything to do with GPS. I leave mine set to AUTO and haven't had any problems. As far as the GPS goes, make sure you have a clear view of the sky. You may have to give the Mini a few minutes to locate enough satellites. I find that if I'm in the...

My guess is that he was dropping if off to be picked up by someone else. Great job of following him and calling the cops.

I can understand wanting to leave everything assembled, but aren't you nullifying the convenience of the small size of the Mini if you do this? For me, a big part of the appeal of the Mini is its small size and the ability to carry it in a compact case.

I have done all of the following: 1) got to the location and realized I forgot my tablet. I was able to use my phone, so no big deal. 2) got to the location and realized that I forgot XD cards. Luckily, I wasn't far from home and was able to go get them. 3) got to location and realized I...

What I hear is everyone saying that Litchi would require a rewrite and I understand that. I don't argue that at all. But, if Litchi says they are adding this functionality, who are we to say that they aren't? Does anyone here have any inside information as to Litchi's business plans? I...

Why do you say it's unlikely when Litchi plainly says that they will be adding this capability?

I have a set of the silicone protectors and they seemed to work okay. I never received the warning with or without the protectors. To ease my mind, though, I ordered a case that allows the drone to be stored in such a way that the blades are not tucked under the body when stored. I ordered...

You can fly FPV (just like using the DJI Fly app), Follow (AC folows the subject at a specified height and distance), Focus (AC hovers, but the camera follows the subject), Pano (shoot panoramas), and Track. With Track, you can orbit a stationary subject like a building.

To end speculation, I contacted Litchi about waypoints for the Mavic Mini. Here is their response: Hi, Orbit and Waypoints modes are not supported currently but we will add this feature in a future updates. Kind Regards, Litchi

Take a look at these videos: Dronelink 101: How To Use Dronelink on Vimeo They will take you through everything. If you scroll to the bottom of the page, there are videos that start with account creation, installation, etc. Look for the videos with the big purple tag that says, "Dronlink...

I believe that they will do it. The reason is simple: the Mini is an entry level drone that will lead to most people buying a more expensive and capable drone. If people don't have the option of running missions on the Mini using Litchi, then they will buy Dronelink. Once they upgrade to a...

Thanks. I knew that, but somehow forgot all about it. That's why I bought Dronelink to begin with. I guess I just had an old man brain fart! Thanks for the reminder.

I just purchased Litchi and downloaded the Android Beta version. It works fine in FPV mode. I created a couple of very simple missions using Litchi Hub. I can open the mission in Litchi and click the run arrow. It will ask me which waypoint I want to begin at and when I tell it to run the...
