    Not cacheing locally

    Yes go4 is installed on his phone and he is signed in to his account.

    Not cacheing locally

    Yep the "cache locally" setting is turned on, I also set the space useage to 16 GB and there's 80 GB of space available on his phone, so that's not the issue.

    Not cacheing locally

    Today I flew a mavic 2 pro that was not mine. I flew it twice, once using my own phone a pixel 2XL, and once using my friends phones on both his pixel 3 XL and his pixel 4 XL it would not cache the shots locally on his phone. It works fine with my phone. Does anyone have an idea of what's going...

    orbit without point of interest?

    Yep, you're exactly right, the rest of the water smooths out from the long exposure, but the reflected light from the drone burns in some of the unevenness of the waters surface. It was a pleasant surprise to me.

    orbit without point of interest?

    Ok, after two nights of trial and error and lots of frustration, I think I got a photo that I'm pretty happy with. Still not perfect, but this was the first one that felt like a success after many, many failures. Thank you all for your help!

    orbit without point of interest?

    I just went out front and tested it out, amazingly simple. Thank you for pointing me to this solution! For the light I just 3d printed a semi translucent dome that I'm putting over the downward LEDs on the drone so that it becomes a 360 degree visible light. It may be a couple days before I...

    orbit without point of interest?

    Holy Crap! ParkGT! thanks so much! I had remapped C1 to reset the gimbal 90 degrees, I'll map it back and try this out! This will be so helpful, Thank you.

    orbit without point of interest?

    Well, back to square one, downloaded litchi, but apparently it's not compatible with Android 10 yet, ugh. I'm gonna try the daylight thing with DJIgo4. Kndll, you are refering to litchi right? As far as I know, in DJIgo4 there's no way to establish a POI without actually drawing a box...

    orbit without point of interest?

    Thanks Chris, I'll give litchi a try. In terms of the directional problem you describe, I 3d designed and printed a translucent shroud to place over the built in LEDs on the mavic 2, so the light should be visible to the camera no matter what direction the drone is facing. We'll see how it...

    orbit without point of interest?

    Ha! Thanks for the welcome! longtime lurker here. I recognize that what I'm trying to do is unusual, but here's what I want to accomplish. I want to paint a circle of light in the sky over a lake for a long exposure photo I'd be shooting with a camera from the ground at night. The problem...

    orbit without point of interest?

    Is there a function to have the drone fly in a perfect circle without a point of interest? If it's not possible in DJI go 4, is there another app that could do it?
