    Litchi

    Just don't do what most people do, fly it manually out of range then complain it didn't come back. RTH is an option to be selected, otherwise it will just hover in place until signal returns. This isn't an issue in waypoint missions though, it will complete the mission regardless of signal. Just...

    P3S compass error

    Does it still do it wherever you are? I always get a compass stuck error if I switch it on inside my van, yet will work perfectly when away from any magnetic fields.

    Camera settings, what iso do you use?

    Whooooosh! That was the noise all the info made as it flew right over the top of my head lol. Seriously, thank you all, I shall work on it. But only when I remember to put the memory card in the P3, unlike today, doh!

    Camera settings, what iso do you use?

    Thanks for taking the time to reply guys, all good info. I just thought I'd seen a post one day where someone said they set it at 100 and leave it there regardless, but can't find it now to check it out. Aware from experience and using slr cameras donkeys years ago that the the detail is much...

    First bit of Litchi waypoints while on my bike.

    I don't even start dji go running, there's no need to. I plan my route at home using google earth, creating the route following terrain to keep a constant height above ground level. Save that as a kml file then import it into the litchi hub and save it as a new mission. Sync it with litchi on my...

    New DJI Owner (almost, pre-ordered a Mavic)

    The portability would be a massive bonus for me. Missed the boat on getting an early pre order in now, so will sit it out and see how things go with real world reports while I save up lol.

    New DJI Owner (almost, pre-ordered a Mavic)

    At the end of the day, you either need good gps signal and connection, or a system that can recognise the thing it's tracking, and keep up with it. Mebbe it'll improve in the course of the next few years, but as of the moment I can't see it being good enough. That said, I'm looking forward to...

    Camera settings, what iso do you use?

    What settings do you use, and why? I see a lot of footage on here and youtube etc, in poorly lit situations, yet still good footage. My attempts so far end up grainy and washed out. What's the secret?

    New DJI Owner (almost, pre-ordered a Mavic)

    I don't think active track is up to it on any platform yet, unless just at walking pace, and even then it seems haphazard at best. Hate to say it, but i really think that the way to go is by using a wearable device for the quad to follow, aka lily so to speak. Would love a feature like this to...

    First bit of Litchi waypoints while on my bike.

    That lane I was on is quite up and down too, but had it following the contours, would probably look better doing the opposite, coming down low as the ground rises, and gaining altitude as it drops away. All good practice!

    What P3S range do you experience?

    My set up is weird, one minute it says I'm up to date, the next it's telling me I need to update, and shows I'm on 1.2.4.

    First bit of Litchi waypoints while on my bike.

    Oooh, mega slow. Was off road on my big overweight bmw, so set it at about 12mph. Obviously as knowledge and confidence increases, the speeds can be upped to the max speed of the quad. But always having to get back to the landing point before it does lol!

    Mavic Release Discussion

    Jessops?! Didn't they go bust a while back? I wouldn't risk my money on anyone like that. Try quadcopters uk, see if they can give any info, and they're a proper dji dealer so at least if you've any queries with it you don't need to feel bad asking for tech support.

    Mavic Release Discussion

    Guess it just whether the charging hub, portable charger, bag, and spare props are worth the extra £84 over here. Personally, I'd be more or less on the fence, the bag is nice, charge hub would be handy, as would the 12v charger. If it was me, would probably go for the fly more pack.
