Finally Litchi For the Mavic Air!

Aerial-Pixel · Apr 18, 2018

For those of you that haven't seen, Litchi is now compatible with the Mavic Air. I updated it on my CrystalSky and went out in the back yard for some tests. Both waypoints and Pano mode worked awesome! Finally waypoints on the Air!

Thanks for posting that Mike! I searched and didn't see anything on it before I posted. But yes, I forgot to mention it is only Beta right now.

How did you do this as there is no beta version of Litchi available for the Cyrstalsky so, according to the developer, you cannot use the Crystalsky with the Mavic Air yet?

Did you side load the beta APK to your CS?

I rooted my CrystalSky so I have the full Google Play Store on it. After it's rooted You can download and install it from the Play Store just like any other Android device.

How nerve wracking was rooting the CS?

Actually one of the easiest devices I've rooted yet, but definitely do it at your own risk LOL. Only down-side you have to re-root each time DJI updates, it's not bad, I can get it done in under 5 minutes now.

Thanks.. I think that I'll wait as the developers are working on support for the Air.

Hopefully they are working on it for the CrystalSky too so un-rooted devices can use it Litchi.

Litchi beta works quite well on the Epson BT-300 googles.

Yes, that is what they are doing, Litchi is available for all other models on the CS just not the Air yet.

Yes but only on Amazon market right now, If I understand it correctly you would have to buy it a 2nd time if you already owned it on Google Play.

Yes, all true but what's £20 for a great app compared to how much we spend on these things, it's a proper bargain imo, I didn't hesitate..

Litchi just released an upgrade/update this morning in the App Store for Apple.

Dont be using it if you have your Air hacked for FCC mode. The app has a glitch that reboots the Air back into CE mode without warning.

Are you speaking of their beta or the official release in the app store? Regardless, my Air is un-hacked.

Pilot25dmc · Apr 24, 2018

The full release version of the app. Litchi can do nothing about it as its in the SDK.

Only on IOS, Android is fine I believe although I haven't flown mine yet but I have connected and afterwards in Go4 she was still in FCC mode.

Did you have GPS lock in the app as the same thing happened with mine on iOS. I was indoors when I tried it and had no GPS lock and I stayed on FCC, took if outside and once I got enough satellites for a lock it rebooted to CE.
