How good is this Litchi app in terms of pre-planning? You can program altitude changes as well as distance?

I’ve had a similar problem with neighbors. They’ve threatened to shoot it down.

Does anyone out there have any experience with pre-programming flights for videography? I work in TV and I’m in charge of our aerial footage utilizing the Mavic. I have some great ideas for shots but find it’s a bit cumbersome to frame the shot I want while flying the drone steady. We trained...

Don't do what I did and learn in your backyard. Open field the way to go. Homeboy above is right that the roll is something everyone is talking about but only because it's an issue with everyone. It had nothing to do with my crash apparently. Something to that affect might have been a bit more...

I've been through all the settings, I've taken a training course, I've rebuilt the gimbal and replaced critical components, and I'm about to get my 107 in a couple weeks. Crashes happen. Anyone who thinks differently is setting themselves up for a bigly crash.

Really? So it might not be a physical defect? Thanks. I'll give this a try tomorrow.

So the verdict is in: it definitely was a bad video cable that killed my picture. Even though I couldn't initially see any breaks in the original cable, it was there. After replacing it, I looked more closely and there was a tiny wire that got disconnected from the connector. Now, I'm dealing...

Hi everyone - I crashed a Mavic a month or 2 ago. Ribbon cable snapped and video cable was damaged. After replacing the both cables, I'm getting a good quality picture again and zero errors. But, my video looks a bit crooked. When I was repairing the cables, I noticed that the vibration plate...

Class B aside, when will I know when to use AGL vs MSL? I know structures and terrain are depicted in both, so that's easy, big airspaces around airports are easy to figure out since it's the fraction-looking number. The questions on the practice tests that always get me are the ones that ask...

Will do. I'm impatient right now as the part is coming from China. I just want to fix the thing and see if that works. I've debated flying it around but without that camera it's really not worth the Atlanta heat and humidity right now. Oh, you're in Duluth so you know the struggle. You're an...

I recently crashed my shop's Mavic. It was able to fly and get GPS but the camera was dead, no gimbal movement and no picture. I was able to replace the ribbon cable, which I hoped would fix everything. While the camera now moves again and I get no errors at all, my camera still has a loss of...

Now I'm more confused. Bare with me here: Class B is the only class in MSL and the rest are in AGL? Or all classes are AGL at the shelf and MSL at the ceiling? Sorry for being an idiot.

So all Classes B-E are noted as AGL? Shelf, ceiling, everything? This distinction is kicking my arse too and I know it shouldn't be too difficult.
