    Exact temperatures of White Balance Presets?

    Thank you Andy9 for the new info. Currently, I am looking for realism; then will proceed to enhancement such as HDR. Another question: does it make sense to use an 18% gray card on the ground before takeoff to estimate the Aerial White Balance?

    Exact temperatures of White Balance Presets?

    Andy9 - Thanks for your input. Not knowing much about Custom WB, I simply have been trying to find the correct 'whites', using Kelvin temperature, for the season. In fact, the more I read about it - some say use an 18% gray card to set the WB; others say to use the presets for Daylight, Sunny...

    Exact temperatures of White Balance Presets?

    Hello ou812 - I like your question; never thought about it myself. I am currently using, or experimenting with Custom WB 6500K, which I find in the winter snows to reproduce realistic white representing the snow.

    Litchi-Flights Yawed 360˚ at Heading Changes

    Hello Billie and MapMaker53, Today, I tested the Rotations Direction options in the Litchi mobile app: Switching to "Managed" rotated all headings correctly (taking the shortest direction) and eliminated the 360˚ orbits. Yay! Hope this helps with your flights. Thanks again for your inputs...

    Litchi-Flights Yawed 360˚ at Heading Changes

    Here are two images with (hopefully formatted columns) WPs, headings, Yaw Changes, Intended Direction (CW/CCW), and Litchi Direction. After looking at the NE Fwd-Rvs WP data (WP 5 to 6 has no intended Yaw change, yet, Litchi still rotated the AC 360˚), it may be a Rotation Direction setting in...

    Billie - that is indeed a Magic Carpet Ride!

    Litchi-Aircraft Warming Up

    dug611-thanks for your reply; I fly a P3P and have not had any problems with 32˚ and above.

    Litchi-Aircraft Warming Up

    cneedleman-thanks for your response. It was high 40s. The coldest I dare to fly is 32˚ F, and have no problems. This was my third battery for the day so it was the highest outdoor temperature.

    Litchi-Flights Yawed 360˚ at Heading Changes

    Thanks for your input Billie. From my chart above, it does not seem to be the the acuteness of the camera change. I think that Litchi does a good job of smoothing out the camera angle transition but I will check past flights that have never shown this behavior to see if they had similar...

    Litchi-Flights Yawed 360˚ at Heading Changes

    Thanks MapMaker53 for your response. From my chart below it doesn't seem that the camera angle change is the problem; but perhaps the lack of curvature is? I'll have to look at my other flight that day which had the same 360˚ Yaw problem. Litchi Yaws 360˚ on Some WPs...

    Litchi-Flights Yawed 360˚ at Heading Changes

    LItchi auto missions resulted in the P3P yawing 360˚ at certain waypoints; do not know why; never have seen this happen. Expected dance at waypoint 1 but into each flight I could see the drone pivoting 360 degrees. Checked AirData but compass passed in all flights; GPS was 9-10 just over...

    Litchi-Aircraft Warming Up

    Litchi message - "Aircraft Warming Up Wait . . ." P-GPS on display; Leds were slowly blinking green. Shut down app and restarted - Message never went off; but manual flight went well. Has anyone encountered this?

    Risks of Low Satellite Counts?

    Meta4 - thanks for your reply. "The uplink/downlink is just the signal connection between the drone and controller." Yes, having a good signal was one thing I was counting on if the Litchi mission went awry; then I could switch from F to P mode and take control. I will always be within VLOS...

    Risks of Low Satellite Counts?

    Using Litchi with a P3P, I flew a mission manually to set waypoints in real time. During the flight, according to AirData, there were mostly 4,5,6 satellites; I have only flown when there are primarily 12 satellites. However, I had no problems but I noticed that the mode changed often from...
