Mavic Air, Crystalsky and Waypoints

richkuav · Mar 23, 2019

Does anyone know if I buy a Crystalsky if there are any apps that run on it that will allow waypoint missions with a Mavic Air?

The new Go4 app for the CS now has waypoints built into it. The new app only came out a few days ago. Hope this helps

Do you know if this applies to the Mavic Air or just the Mavic 2 Pro

I’m not 100% sure if it’s compatible with the Mavic Air but I’m sure someone else will answer that question for you.

That’s one thing people were waiting for on the CS, (waypoints) this came out earlier this year on the iOS/Android platform but not on the CS. We’ve always got to wait that bit longer before Dji release it on the CS.

looking at the mavic user manual, I don’t think waypoints is compatible with the Mavic Air, well I couldn’t see it in the manual

How did you get Litchi to work on it?

crlmjohnson · Mar 26, 2019

purchase thru Amazon.

there is a download app for the software.

I have had the Litchi software on it since I purchase the 7.85 Crystal Sky Ultra Bright.

I am planning on using it this coming weekend, in Alabama, for DSAR training.

I just purchased it through the Google Play store last week. From what I've read I would have to repurchase it through the Amazon app store, so I'd have to buy it twice

crlmjohnson · Mar 26, 2019

I am a little confused. What is the specific issue that you are having with getting it to work?

You are absolutely correct. you have to purchase it thru the Amazon app store. Request your refund back from Google Play store.

richkuav · Mar 26, 2019

Usually you have to request a refund within hours of purchase with Google and it's been over a week.

Make sure you do the update for the Crystal Sky , that makes the Crystal Sky works with the Litchi...and the Go Pro 4 software.

I own a mavic pro 2

didn't you say that you own a mavic air?

crlmjohnson · Mar 26, 2019

I am pretty sure (I know) you will have to do the software update for the Mavic Air to run on the Crystal sky, I had to for my Mavic Pro 2. Even if you do still get the Litchi software. and the DJI software will work also. i have both on my Crystal Sky. You can not have both running at the same time. The drone will only connect to one at time, the Crystal Sky will not let you connect to both software app at the same time to the same drone, thru the same port.

Yes I do have the mavic air. it was between that and the 2 pro, but surprisingly most of the reviews I've seen between the 2 choose the Air over the Pro (probably why DJI won't release waypoints for the Air)I wanted something high quality yet very portable and it was between this and the Evo and my last experience with DJI (phantom 2) was not a pleasant one and I gave away the Phantom 2
