I bought it a while back and still haven't invested the time to actually learn it but may force myself after just finding out it has a drone mode.
Its an amazing app. Simple. It does 1 thing extremely well. Takes 2 seconds and you know what to set your RTH to. All you do is point your phone in the direction your gonna fly scan from side to side and a graph will show you the elevation of anything in that direction. How high and in what direction in real time. And it knows how high above sea level you are so it gauges it from that. If you download the app you’ll be sitting in your house spinning in circles like wow look at how much higher the topography is on the left side than it is on the right lolTerrain Radar sounds interesting... I shoot in mountainous/hilly terrain and it would be good to know their height.
I used this app for a long time. Planit Pro: Photo PlannerI use PhotoPills a fair amount for landscape photography, but haven't tried it with my Mavic Air 2 yet. Also noticed the drone mode....
I'm happy with PhotoPills - it does take a couple of hours to get to a point that the interface is intuitive.

I have tried over and over to use Photo Pills. It is just too complex for me. I've watched the tutorials on You Tube too. Any other teaching sure you might recommend?I bought it a while back and still haven't invested the time to actually learn it but may force myself after just finding out it has a drone mode.
Hello Dale:I have tried over and over to use Photo Pills. It is just too complex for me. I've watched the tutorials on You Tube too. Any other teaching sure you might recommend?
G.Randy Brown and I are the dummies here I guess. For the past 30 minutes I have been looking through the app and I downloaded the 253 e book. I tried to read it. I felt like I was back at the University of Michigan Physics class. E.g.: totally lost and at sea. Now mind you, I am a retired physician, I went to U. Illinois Pharmacy School and got a B.S. Pharmacy, then went to the the same University Medical School, got an M.D. degree and was on the dean's list. Then I did an eye surgery residency and practiced ocular surgery and medicine for 38 years. Photo Pills is harder! I finally gave up on it. I can find other things to occupy my time, like reading War and Peace or Dostoyevsky. The videos that come with the download go super fast. I cannot pause or freeze them fast enough. Terrible teaching. I would give these videos a D - (e.g.: D minus). The inventor and narrator is a terrible teacher too. All in all, I would summarize it by saying something un-publishable here like F... It!Thanks everyone, I'm a little like Dale... the time I did sit down to try to learn it I felt overwhelmed but it seems it will be worth the effort to learn how it works.
I live in a mountainous desert area with lots of interesting slot canyons and holes in giant rocks.
I'd love to know where the angles are to catch sunrise/sunsets...thanks again!
I don't see it in Play store, where did u get it?
hmm, maybe so...no worries, I prolly couldn't figure it out anyway ?I wonder if its ios only. I use apple products so i dont use the play store.
I already had Photo Pills gathering dust on my iPhone, so it is definitely available on IOS. I've made numerous attempts to use it, all to no avail. When I went to download the e-book I did it on my Apple iMAC (desktop). Cannot answer about android- android is like a foreign country for me.hmm, maybe so...no worries, I prolly couldn't figure it out anyway ?
I believe advocate was referring to his 1st post Dale, where they were talking about other apps.I already had Photo Pills gathering dust on my iPhone, so it is definitely available on IOS.
