I've been trying to work my way through all of the features and functions with my Mavic 2 Zoom so that I can eventually know what I'm doing in any situation using Litchi or DJI 4 Go.
FTR - I've pretty much decided to use DJI 4 Go for everything except Waypoint missions.
Anyway - I did my first litchi web hub created Waypoint mission using Litchi yesterday. I just did a modest route around a local park with several POI and a couple of altitude changes. That part went fine. The "problem" I had was when it was finished I hit RTH and litchi immediately reported signal lost. I believe I had no control over the AC after that point but I didn't try the control sticks(wish I had now). Fortunately - it was right overhead and landed without incident. I don't habitually use RTH but as I mention above - I want to experience all of the functions.
I was puzzled but with a fresh battery I switched to DJI 4 Go and did a couple more direct-control flights w/o any issues.
After thinking it over - I am wondering if the problem was that I was still in waypoint mode in litchi and needed to swap to FPV?
I didn't think to notice if the controller still had an effect on the AC or had any useful status info on it's screen - I was just focused on and slightly panicked about the loss of control status message on the top bar of litchi.
