    Litchi crashed my p4

    Sorry if my msg was not clear, AP lets you choose between mission continuation on contact loss or default djogo behavior. The tradeoff is that if you choose the first you cannot get the benefit of AP advanced features during that mission

    NO it does not. See 6 msgs above....

    Autopilot Pano Mode

    Looks good but MS windows only.

    Autopilot Pano Mode

    Not really, it can be done with free/open source software such as Hugin. In my hands AP panos work flawlessly.

    Litchi crashed my p4

    The way it works in VS, it is like a zipline but you draw the path on the map directly with your finger. Once drawn, you send the bird and it will follow the path autonomously at certain speed, while adjusting the yaw and camera angle to focusing on the subject (a visual pattern) of your choice

    Litchi crashed my p4

    Point taken, I just wanted to highlight this and I agree Didn't want to add more apps into the equation but now that you mention yes, I have been a beta tester of VS and it has unique features based on a much better visual tracking of objects, but its focus is more on creative filming and...

    Litchi crashed my p4

    To add my two cents to the "mine is longer" discussion, I am a user of both AP and Litchi on IOS. Both are excellent products but I have to agree that by no way Litchi is "more powerful". - Autopilot is by far the most powerful of both, meaning by powerful the ability to do things that cannot...

    Litchi vs. AutoPilot vs. Other Apps

    SInce latest firmware, Autopilot also can continue the missions when out of range. And it does support P4. I find it somewhat intimidating due to a complex interface, but much more powerful than Litchi on iOS and allowing control of almost every imaginable parameter during the mission. Although...

    IOS or Android tablet

    That persuasion ability can be easier than you think... Anyway, you may save some pounds going for the non cellular if you do not plan to make use of flight modes requiring operator GPS positioning (follow me, Autopilot advanced modes, etc). You could even add an external bluetooth GPS module...

    Filter ring stuck (really stuck)

    try heating the aluminum filterto dilate it and then rubber band...... Even more effective if you cool the entire camera first.

    Vertical Studio - Looking for Beta Testers

    Hi! I was wondering about what happened with the iOs Beta program. I read that previous active contributors would be invited to the new beta "in a few days" after sorting some issues with Apple, but at least I never received anything about it (i received one email for an interview on a different...

    P3s aftermarket battery

    This only seems to happen in GO android, I keep using one on IOs with no trouble. Works the same as DJI's. Using third-part apps also seems to be possible.

    Is it possible to do waypoints at an altitude of 6 ft?

    Some drift on barometric altimeters is quite normal, even in high-quality ones. They can be affected by temperature and high speed/wind. You should never trust the telemetry readings to be accurate enough to rely that you won't crash if your margin is less than 5m. IN those conditions you should...

    Is it possible to do waypoints at an altitude of 6 ft?

    Yes, latest apple devices include the barometric altimeter in the WiFi/data versions so you are OK if needed. The calibration option appears in wizzard within autopilot upon engaging the mission, and as replied by flightlogic it comes handy if there are going to be changes of ground altitude...

    Is it possible to do waypoints at an altitude of 6 ft?

    No limits with autopilot, there are pre-set minimums in the settings but you can change those to anything >1m. Minimum radius in orbit I have not tested extensively, but it is not practical: if too small the craft does not really orbit but jerk around. One thing to consider: if you plan shooting...
