    DJI announcement on May 15

    I know there is a lot of “leaked” info but I am moving back to a waterproof/resistant Mavic because of the water scene and/or a Mavic with a 360 camera, hence “the other side”. This guy added a 360 GoPro fusion to a Mavic to show the possibilities. Mavic w/ 360 Fusion

    Can Litchi waypoints be set with LAT/LON coordinates?

    Check that video I posted in the PM. Basically what you will see with the VLM

    Can Litchi waypoints be set with LAT/LON coordinates?

    Click on the person, start conversation, at the bottom of the dialogue box you will see "Attach File" As far as taking a photo AND continuing filming you may have to add 3 actions to the point you want to shoot assuming you starting filming on takeoff or waypoint 1. (try it on a quick practice...

    Can Litchi waypoints be set with LAT/LON coordinates?

    I’m not in front of my computer but I think you may have to draw a path in GE rather than simple waypoints. I’ll check tomorrow.

    Can Litchi waypoints be set with LAT/LON coordinates?

    My students are taking finals right now and I am procrastinating --- if you PM me the coordinates of your mission you would like to fly, I'd be happy to set up an example of a mission for you....

    Can Litchi waypoints be set with LAT/LON coordinates?

    One cool thing - once you have everything set in the Litchi Hub, export to Google Earth as a KML then open it. If you tilt the view it will show you the elevation and if you hover over it gives you even more detail. See below. You can see the elevation changes I made to a couple points with the...

    Can Litchi waypoints be set with LAT/LON coordinates?

    Try it in the Litchi Mission hub. Drop a few points and see. It will give you options of what you can do at each point. Beginning = start recording, etc. Not that difficult but you should try it. May even be easier than posting questions. Open Litchi Mission Hub on a computer. Click Missions...

    Can Litchi waypoints be set with LAT/LON coordinates?

    You are all correct. It uploads the mission to the MP and proceeds on its own. It will return to its starting point when finished. I usually program mission in a loop so it ends up hovering where I take off. As far as Wi-Fi vs RC, I never use the wifi anyway.... But it is a moot point since it...

    Can Litchi waypoints be set with LAT/LON coordinates?

    You can use Litchi with Google Earth Pro (now free - not Litchi) and it is really easy. You can set elevation and of course you can choose waypoints via Lat/Lon in Google Earth - but it may be easier just going by sight? Just did a 10 second search and here is a video of how - not sure how good...

    Android or Apple?

    If you do not already own an MP, I would start with the phone you already have and see if the screen is big enough. I got the Wunderphone (search these forums) when I got my Mavic Pro a year or so ago and haven't needed anything larger. Although I had the intention of purchasing a tablet once I...

    I've been asked to contact an FBI agent tomorrow since he has some questions regarding my drone flying.

    It all sounds like a legitimate investigation of the complaints lodged by the people offloading along the river. They wanted to check his lights to match the lights in the footage they had. Maybe some of you watch too much TV? I am sure the OP got some real advice by reading the replies and...

    $49 Huawei Ascend XT2 aka Wunderphone = THE best Mavic screen EVER

    Good point - but I have the same problem with my iPhone. I wish I could find glasses that were just polarized the opposite direction as most (vertically instead of horizontally I assume?) because when you turn it it looks great.

    $49 Huawei Ascend XT2 aka Wunderphone = THE best Mavic screen EVER

    Glad the others took over - all are correct. Works great, updated, no SIM card necessary, holds a big SD card, AND they are back on Walmart.com but they are currently out of stock. After you update the app make sure you re-map to save on the SD card and check the other settings in the DJI Go...

    Mavic Pro- Defender of the chickens

    At first I thought I’d just pass by the post but please write more! Real or not it was a great short.
