What I was hoping the Air 3S would be

Can anyone confirm that the camera angle can be reversed from facing forwards to facing backwards in a saved Waypoint mission?

I think I understand what the Magic is.

The Problem I have had for years when trying this on my own is that I never knew when I was Past what I was flying to an thus could never trust what i was seeing on the Camera as I was always further away than I thought it was.

Flying Backwards last night solved this for me as I would keep flying in the Direction I was flying until the Camera showed that I was past the Object I was flying to. This was The Magic or edge I was missing. .

For some reason Flying Backwards gives you a Much Better Perspective of where your really at in the sky.

So 90 % of the flights are eyes on the sky with a glance down to the controller to see when you have past your gateways thru.


I flew out to the Rocks but really never knew when I was flying over them, flying backwards showed me Exactly when I has past them without any doubts.



So that aspect is a game changer for my flying however : This pass thru has me confused and shaking my head as he is doing the flying with his own eye sight for direction so he has to see that from his viewing angle is my only guess but it seems past the point of awareness with the human eye which for me is 2500 ft with a black dot in view to fly by. That last pass thru is at 1100 Ft doable with the naked eye.

No OA in his videos, as there is no avoidance of any obstacles taking place on a straight through or adjacent flight. However, OA might save him from a few crashes during his practice runs, but he is flying in Sport mode in many, if not all of his flights, where OA isn't even available.

Well, that's too bad because it seems like DJI has NOT yet caught up to where Skydio left off. The difference is *anyone* with a Skydio drone can do it whereas probably *no one* with a DJI drone will be able to replicate what was done here. The SKydio has little risk doing this repeatedly so I can see why no one is impressed but doing this with a DJI drone, quite impressive! I would crash for sure, no way to fly like that even in totally clear air.

May have been done viewing the rear facing sensor view. You can switch to see a B+W view bottom left of any of the wide angle sensors. It's not huge or hi-res though. Impressive but mad.

Replying to my own post - No, as the thumb view of the sensor camera would have shown on the screen replay, and the further evidence shows he is a genius and a nutter!

Wow. So good you have to watch it at least a dozen times. Besides the unbelievable flying. How’s the drone get connection with the rc. You would have to have 4g connection with that dongle you can buy outside of USA I think.?

how or why it or the others haven,y been blessed tithlitchi waypoints is beyound me becuase with the drones I have with waypoint missions is short of amazing from my times with or with out lost signal they preform anything i ask of them when it is laid out right in the mission hub there are rules to the layout but as far as capibilities to preform the missions when you learn it and prepare it properly it always is a thrill to see the mavic pro and the mavic2 pro,spark and inspire preform fawellesy in mission hub so how can waypoints be much of a problem for a more advanced drone i don,t get it maybe they should ask lawerence the creator of the litchi app

drunk post on a tuesday night I see.... it's not a holiday week in canada is it?

Like everyone else, incredibly impressive.

If executed as discussed – literally flown manually backwards – reckless and dangerous as all h*ll, someone easily could have been seriously injured if they happened to be in the way. There were several places such an accident could have occurred, and i have to hope this was all pre-arranged to prevent such a tragedy.

Be available in the US. Who is actually selling it?

This is much easier than you would think. Simply fly the drone to the end, set a waypoint, fly it to where you want to start and tell it to return to the point you started, it will simply fly backwards to where you actually started. I've used this when shooting track runners.
