Waypoints 2.0 vs Litchi

[davemgood]

One anomaly I noticed today with Litchi, if I set the 1st waypoint at a low altitude, for instance 2 ft, the drone would not start the mission, but freeze at that first point.
I then raised the alt. to 9ft. and the drone executed the mission.
Any ideas why that happens? Is there a low alt limit?

Sounds like collision avoidance on the bottom is kicking in. Try turning that off.

Good idea, although I'm not hearing any audible warnings.

Confirmed! I went out today to tried it out, and it works. Thanks vctech for clearing this up.
It really is a nice feature to frame your shots in real time. Plus the pitch transition from one waypoint to the next is smooth as silk.

It is too bad that the yaw transitions are so horrible!

Can you use the c button on waypoints 2.0 to record the waypoints by flying them first? Like on litchi. I could not find any settings on the controller.

Yes absolutely.

Yes absolutely.

Where? Help please. I checked the go4 ap

It is disappointing how badly the framing of shots is with either Litchi or GO4 using waypoints. Even using the C1 buttons and establishing a cable cam the resulting framing varies greatly from what was set up with either program.

Neither one is very cinematic when you you want tight framing of a POI. They are ok if all you want to do is cruise forward and film the scenery going by. For what is otherwise such a wonderful piece of technology this aspect is a letdown IMO.
