Litchi beta (Android) now supports the Mavic Air 2

I should add that "waypoint mode" isn't yet supported on the Mavic Air 2 with Litchi. They say it's coming soon, but likely need to change their implementation over to the "virtual sticks" method since DJI decided not to include native waypoints in the MA2 SDK.

They say it's coming soon

They’ve been saying that since shortly after the SDK for the Mini was released in July and it looks no closer.

Have never used Litchi but waypoints is the feature I am waiting for. Also a little concerned about flying a $1,000 toy with the beta version of any software.

I have been doing it with $3000 invested in but just one of 4 DJI's, no issues. Litchi knows what it is doing. If at all concerned just fly well within line of site while testing the first few times, you have several options to cancel flight or just wait till the pioneers do it and it is released. As it is two apps are already out to give waypoints on MA2, but both are Beta SDK's aren't rocket science and very little is added to the code from a already solid program that has been out for at least a year (Litchi has been out and tested for 5 years or so).

As Repaid1 said, I've have also used a lot of different versions of Litchi over the years, they have been much more stable and better debugged than new DJI Go4 and DJI Fly releases.

Thanks mate, I have emailed them and I will update this post with whatever information I get back. I would buy the app on android just to get ma2 support if it was available as I can't wait to use litchi on the MA2

I tested the Android beta version on my MA2 yesterday, still no waypoints supported, everything else is working including Facebook live streaming. I flew a quick waypoint on the Phantom 3 just to try and it was still point on.

That’s because the Phantom 3 has a built-in waypoint capability and the MA2 will rely on Litchi implementing it through ”virtual sticks” which has yet to happen.
