Thank you. On my laptop that waypoint dialog did not appear automatically, I had to click the tiny + sign way at the bottom to bring it up, then all the actions were available. I plan to fly the mission soon to see if it works as advertised. Some comments on this topic suggest getting photos...

I just downloaded Litchi a few days ago and have been working through the user guide and watching some videos. I love the mission hub for waypoints, here is my specific question: I have created a 15 point mission, no curves, 3 POIs, and at each waypoint I identify the POI at which I want the...

I've been thinking about trying Litchi. Is it relatively easy to set up, and/or are there some good tutorials to guide the way?

That is a great idea, that's why I love this Mavic pilots group. I'm going to the site tomorrow and will scope out some likely locations, find an altitude. that will work, and be ready when the next phase of construction gets under way. Thanks.

I thought about that after I wrote the post, and will do two or three waypoints. If I have one waypoint, can I fly to it and then point the drone directly to the site and shoot photos manually? I've only used waypoints where the drone would take photos at points of interest, or take video...

A nonprofit animal sanctuary where I volunteer has begun a project to provide better housing for the dogs that reside there. Over the next few months, I will be providing drone coverage of the process with stills and video. I would like to be able to position my drone - Mavic 2 Zoom - at a...

I always fly VLOS, no long range jollies for me! This happens sometimes when I put the drone up 20 feet and yaw it around just to check all the controls. I will switch to 5.8 gHz next time and see what that does, and investigate the Drone Hack FCC boost as well. Thanks for the knowledge.

Sometimes the video I see on my screen is pretty herky - jerky, not smoothly keeping up with the drone movements. Would the drone hacks FCC signal boost help eliminate this? I've made my observations with the drone well clear of any obstacles that might interfere with the signal coming to my...

I have a cool opportunity to do some video work that could involve taking off from an old soapstone quarry as part of the program. I will be ordering a phantomrain rescue jacket for my Msvic 2 Zoom. Would it be advisable to have the drone wearing a wetsuit as well? The water from which I will...

For an upcoming 107 mission I've been invited to participate in, I need to get some practice flying a drone without benefit of GPS. The drone I will be flying is not a DJI drone but the functionality is basically the same. I plan to take my Mavic 2 Zoom to my radio control flying field and fly...

The price seems very fair and I've been sorta looking for a backup for my Mavic 2 Zoom. Any idea what shipping/fees would run me to get it to Virginia zip 23055?

Thanks to all for input to my original request. To clarify a bit, this item - I call it "An Eagle's Eye View ... of YOU" - will hopefully spark the interest of people who do not have drones and want to see what their property or some activity they engage in would look like to a Bald Eagle (the...

I am familiar with that, I shot some video of a fundraiser for a different animal rescue org and got the one day policy for 10 to 20 bucks.

I have accepted a request from the president of a nonprofit I volunteer for to do a drone video/photo shoot within a 100 mile radius of the organization for the high bidder in an auction that will take place at their big annual fiundraiser in October. I don't have a business, I just like flying...

First try with a 92 score last April. I used a number of free resources and a $5 app on my phone for study and practice tests.
