Having never tried VR mode on Litchi nor any experience with a headset + drone, I had a few questions for those that have, whether it be with the Mavic or Phantom/Inspire is probably irrelevant.
1) What's the main differences in the experience (or pros/cons) of flying with head tracking in the vertical axis only vs tracking side-to-side (gimbal not yawing the AC) in addition to vertically?
My initial guess would be it would be easier to become disoriented with respect to the AC orientation if horizontal tracking is enabled.
1b) Is there something in the OSD that shows you where the true AC heading is?
2) How about the same as question 1 but including a comparison with the mode where horizontal head tracking causes the craft to yaw?
2b) I'm assuming there's a mode that is vertical only and that horizontal tracking is simply ignored and the craft only moves via stick input. Is that correct?
3) How does Litchi's VR mode differ from say having a Shield tablet, using DJI go, and having a headset connected via HDMI? Or am I incorrect in assuming this would work since the video out wouldn't even be "split screen"?
4) if one wanted to abort using Litchi, mid-flight, to use DJI GO w/out a headset, is that even an option?
5) Are there any options (currently available, so not the mythical DJI Goggles) where one could fly the Mavic using the controller and a phone tablet (normally) and a second person could view the video using a VR headset?
6) Is the VR experience actually worth the effort or is it sort of a neat novelty that's only fun occasionally (maybe to show others mostly) and you mostly end up flying "normally"?
