    Any mission app will let you set altitude higher than 500m?

    Just tried this on my CrystalSky, all waypoints set higher than 500m reverted back to 500m. Which version of Litchi app are you using? Maybe I can find a apk of older version and try again. Thanks

    That's a great idea, only if I can find a place to land that's within light of sight, losing reception and can't get the bird back in the air would mean losing the drone since the area I fly is mostly inaccessible by foot.

    Thanks, I'll give it a try and see how it goes. Currently I am experimenting Dronelink, seems can do a lot more than Litchi but also a lot more complicated.

    I am planning a mission to fly up to the mountain and do a reveal shot after passing the top. The whole route should be somewhere between 100m to 150m AGL and total distance is about 3km. However, the top of the mountain is about 550m from where I want to take off, and I want it to be as smooth...

    RTH algorithm, land within 20m?

    Thanks... and I might possibly hit Cancel, then hit Cancel again when it asked me whether I really want to cancel.

    RTH algorithm, land within 20m?

    If I understand it correctly, if I hit RTH when the drone is within 20m of its home point, it will just land. But I have tried that a couple of times, the drone always ascent to set RTH attitude first which I had to stop it manually. This happened to both MPP that I've got. I didn't give that...

    RTH. Is this something you use?

    I use it all the time, especially if the drone is more than a km away. I activate RTH, check to make sure it's flying home, then I often just check the distance on the remote every now and then until the drone is approaching and ready to land, at that point I'd pick up the remote and ready to...

    Mavic pro heated

    Try touch your WiFi router, mine is much hotter than my Mavic and it has less range.

    Flying from a cruise ship

    A cruise is moving at like 20 - 30 knots, as soon as you take off, the drone would fly off at 30 knots to the aft and goodbye drone!

    Fixed Wing Mode max speed?

    Thanks, I'll stick with Sport mode for thrill and fixed wing mode for video shots when is needed then.

    Fixed Wing Mode max speed?

    Thank you for the reply. Is there any way that I could speed up fixed wing mode so that it's on par with normal sport mode?

    Mavic Pro Controller Stick Modes?

    If you ever plan to fly rc heli, choose mode 2, period. I use mode 3 because when I started flying rc heli many many years ago, I had a mode 1 control that needed to be modified physically, it was much easier to modify into mode 3. I have regretted it ever since... until controller could be...

    Fixed Wing Mode max speed?

    Hi, I am all new to this drone stuff, so sorry for my noob question. I have got my Mavic Pro a few days ago, tried both "normal sport mode" and fixed wing mode in sport mode (not sure if sport is still active when in fixed wing mode though), and found that normal sport mode consistently fly more...
