After posting early this AM about user experiences with Litchi, I went ahead and took the plunge and spent $22 on the iOS App (Current phone is iPhone 6plus w/ iOS 11 Beta 3). It has to be the best $22 I have spent with all the aggravation experienced with DJI Go 4.
1st thing I noticed is the preview video works, no jitters does not stutter or lag.
Here is an example from this afternoon, straight from the video cache (720p) that was saved to the iPhone while flying (High Res 2.7k still on the drone)
2nd thing was that after a few flights I never experienced any issue with Device CPU Fully Loaded, noir did the iPhone every get extremely warm as with the DJI Go 4. I would say it was just as warm when watching a youtube video
3rd thing - I switched back to the original DJI Cable the MicroUSB to the Lightning Cable (was using a regular USB to Lightning) and using the original cable has no issues with the screen going black while flying as what was happening regularly with DJI Go 4.
I know everyone has been screaming about the firmware upgrade and hacking to downgrade but I don't think its a firmware issue, it's their app that sucks.
Also Litchi is able too auto sync with Airdata UAV (Big Geek Info from your flight), a sense of security while flying (warm and fuzzy feelings) are to be experienced once again.
Sure the Litchi app at the moment is missing some features when it comes to monitoring the sensors and advanced calibration but this doesn't mean anything if you lose your Mavic because of a terrible app. I am wondering if some of the lost Mavic's have been beside operator error but DJI Go 4 error
