    Virtual Litchi Mission

    VLM gives you a simulated FPV view of the mission, timing, etc, while export KML path only shows the flight path without knowing how the FPV would look like and other useful info needed to fine tune the mission. Not to mention the automation that saves you multiple redundant clicks to import and...

    Mavic lens removal

    Did you managed to remove the front glass element of the camera module? I found this youtube video, someone in Indonesia remove it by heating the adhesive and peel the glass off.

    iPhone dim after flying for 5 minutes or so

    I’ve tested the cooling fan. It works great, no dimming with max brightness in 27C ambient temperature with my DIY sunshade. I attached the fan onto my iPhone 8+ with a thin skin case. I guess the heat dissipation would be even better if the heat sink is in direct contact with the iPhone...

    Virtual Litchi Mission

    Hi Namirda, thanks for looking into this. The curvesize of 0.2 and 1.0 are entered by me to test out how the drone will behave in actual flight while moving along same direction and different direction in 'curved turns' mode. I know this, initially I thought there were issues with...

    Virtual Litchi Mission

    Hi Namirda, I've found some issue with when gimbal pitch mode in Litchi is set to disabled (mode 0). For example : WP1 gimbal mode = interpolate -90 WP2 gimbal mode = interpolate -45 WP3 gimbal mode = disabled VLM will interpret the WP3 disabled mode as 0 degrees instead of using back the last...

    iPhone dim after flying for 5 minutes or so

    Sure, will report back once tested. I do hope it works, otherwise will have to DIY one with larger fan with external power source. The small fan will draw about 10% from the Mavic controller in an hour based on my calculation.

    Mavic Pro Platinum gimbal tilt screeching sound, is this normal?

    @Thunderdrones, thanks for the quick reply. I was wondering if all the Mavic camera has the same serial number in the EXIF? Could it be more like a camera part number rather than unique serial number for every camera? Curious to find out about this to see if they did changed the camera. The...

    Does you iPhone screen dim while runnin DJI app?

    Yes, not just in DJI app, iOS dims the screen as soon as the iPhone heats up with max screen brightness. 5 minutes is the max I can get with max brightness with iPhone 8 Plus flying in 25-30°C ambient temperature. I think the glass back of the new iPhone 8 and X is making the overheating and...

    iPhone dim after flying for 5 minutes or so

    I had the exact same issue with iPhone 8 Plus, 5 minutes on max brightness and iOS will start dimming the screen by half, another 5 minutes, down to about quarter of the max brightness making it very difficult to see even under the shade. I found that DJI GO4 is very CPU intensive, it heats up...

    Mavic Pro Platinum gimbal tilt screeching sound, is this normal?

    I've got back my MPP from DJI after the warranty repair, they didn't send me a new one. From the look of the screws orientation and glue on screws, it looks like they didn't even open it up for the repair. The gimbal is still making the screeching sound occasionally, however the lens blurriness...

    Virtual Litchi Mission

    namirda, thanks for this very useful app. If weren't for the limitation of Google Earth and KML, the mission tour would have been more accurate. Heading and altitude are interpolated linearly between waypoints in the actual flight, but since KML <gx:flyToMode> only allows value of either...

    Virtual Litchi Mission

    Have you tried Parallels Desktop VM for Mac running windows in it? Works great on my 7-year-old Mac book pro 2011, it is very easy to setup, performance wise is about 70% compared to running it natively in bootcamp. Very usable IMHO.

    Virtual Litchi Mission

    got it sorted, there is some conflicting .kml application association, reassociated kml to google earth pro for windows and all is working well.

    Mavic Pro Platinum gimbal tilt screeching sound, is this normal?

    Thunderdrones, do you happened to know if the gimbal assembly is replaced together with the camera as a single set or are they separate parts?
