    Virtual Litchi Mission

    One of the nice features of Litchi is the ability to get to altitude before launching the mission. Some other autonomous flight apps load the mission before launch and do the take off for you. I can fly in tighter environments by doing that manually. Of course do the descent manually during...

    Is the Air 2 any better ?...

    +1 and + 1 on SAR104 and Recoveryone 's posts. I had 3 MP's, built a nice commercial business with them, then passed them on to a daughter who is using two commercially for real estate shoots and a grandson flying one recreationally. Had a great experience with them over 2 years of ownership...

    Common sense. Wind speed for Mavic 2

    I've flown my MP and P4P in stronger winds than I thought possible to fly and video. Steady winds are seldom as much trouble as gusts. One learning that I can pass along from videoing in strong wind with my P4P -- if you fly sideways into the wind, you can get to a point where the bird can...

    Hard to find work

    - I've found that it's hard to give away product/service. It almost always comes back in something beneficial in the way of current or future business or referrals. Think of it as a proof of concept or a demo for someone who might be interested but isn't ready to put $$ into it (yet). This...

    8th flight two questions

    I've been flying Litchi for waypoints with Mavic Pro and P4P for over two years. Don't leave home without it!

    Who/How/Why -- do you trust non-DJI automation apps? (Litchi, DroneLink, DroneDeploy, etc...)

    FWIW - I've flown Litchi waypoint missions for 2+ years on Mavic Pro and P4P with no problems. Wouldn't fly any other app for waypoints. Love it

    Swelling Battery caused Crash

    I can tell that there aren't many RC pilots in here who've spent much time with electric flight. There are several absolutes for LiPo batteries that are worth attending. Debate them all you want, but do the things below and you enjoy lots of flights with your batteries. Has nothing to do...

    Stumped

    I re-worked the Litchi mission under a new name, and went through all the settings on the MP. Now the bird that was refusing to accept a LItchi mission accepts both the new one and the previous one that it declined with a "too high" message. I noticed while going through the settings on the...

    Stumped

    Thanks for the thoughts KennyJr. I was starting to think I was alone in the dark. Don't mind being in the dark, but it's nice to know someone's listening. Will keep the thread posted when I have it resolved. Regards......... Bob R.

    Stumped

    A story of two MP's and two Litchi missions. Consider MP#1 and MP#2 both flying Lichi missions A and B. MP #2 refuses to accept the upload of Litchi mission B reporting that the flight altitude is too high. During this flight attempt, the following is true - Litchi mission max waypoint...

    How to rollback Mavic firmware

    I just now looked at the FW version that i'm running on my current MP that I use daily for jobs. Seems like I thought I"d be rolling back to a 700 or a 400 versin of GO4 when I did the rollback on this one, but I ended up at 01.04.0200 on both the A/C and the R/C. I"m showing two Flysafe dB's...

    How to rollback Mavic firmware

    I can't answer your question about what are the extra steps because each instance is its own case. I had to read their documentation exhaustively and follow to the best of my understanding based on where I was starting and where I thought I needed to go, which sometimes required interpretation...

    How to rollback Mavic firmware

    I've used NLD successfully to roll back firmware on three MP's and one P4P. No problems. You have to read everything they have to get a good result, but their stuff works.

    Has the drone industry reached stagnation ??

    am especially interested in the 30% retest, and the decline in new pilots taking the test.
