That is not me in the boat! I wonder what the boaters thought when it flew over them at about 220 feet! Angry bees or wasps? I've run this route several times and the light seems best in early morning. Even with a polaroid there's some glare. I may need an ND filter for the P3. Thanks for...

My P3 standard was on a litchi route around the southern end of Canadice lake (western NY) in early October. There's some mist on the water and nice colors in the foliage. Enjoy. Marko

What camera settings would you recommend for trying to get video of lightning at night with a P3 standard? What camera settings would you recommend for trying to get video of lightning at day? Should I take off any filters (like the polarizer)? A few times in the last three weeks...

Well I really lucked out with the height at 250 feet. I think another 40 feet higher might have been spectacular, but I was thrilled to see just above the cloud top. This was local fog. So the cloud was low. If you plan to do stormclouds, you'll have to go very high! Are you planning to use a...

There was some local fog in this part of western NY in April. I did not know how high the cloud was so I hoped sending my Phantom 3 up 250 feet was enough. It ran a Litchi waypoint path so it would go about a mile south and then turn and come back. Luckily I got the height just right and the...

A couple of years ago I lost my Phantom 2 vision+ in a lake (about 3 to 4 feet of water). It was submerged for a few months, then a drought came and it was in mud for two months, and then the mud froze over and I found it upside down in the frozen muddy lake bed about 6 months after I lost it. I...

6.7 miles out?! That's hard to believe! Would you have enough battery power to return (or even to get out that far)?!

Yes. You need to stand poised with a laser like attention! With the Skyreat parabolic addition my signal strength seems to increase my P3. I sometimes do a Litchi run over a lake and have a video connection to about 6000 ft and controller connection (with choppy video) to 8000 feet. You...

I had the same issue. I had to get a new tablet on which both litchi and the Goapp would work. My previous samsung tablet E had 1.5 gig of memory and after a while litchi would crash. I was advised by their tech support that my tablet did not have processing power. The M3 Hauwei has 4 gig of...

My P3S had a curious hawk encounter last year. He came by twice. I am glad it was not an eagle. http://www.planetcanadice.com/Movies/HawkLikesMyBird2.mp4 Marko

This is a montage of several Litchi runs (using my P3S) across a watershed area through the seasons. http://www.planetcanadice.com/Movies/RTMontage.mp4 Some digital artifacts are apparent from 12 to 15 seconds in, but the rest may pass muster. Marko

The Huawei tab should work well with both the Litchi app and the DJI Go app. It's on each list of recommended tabs. The 4 gigs of RAM is what attracted me to it.

A few months ago when I contacted Litchi support about my Samsung Galaxy E tablet (android) they informed me my tablet was not powerful enough. The following list was provided: for Android, our recommended devices are: Nvidia Shield K1, Google Pixel/Pixel XL, Samsung Galaxy...

Does your Samsung have enough system memory (RAM)? I used a samsung tablet (with 1.5 gig of memory) for a few months with Litchi and all seemed well, but then Litchi started crashing. I had to go back to my phone! Recently bought a tablet with 4 gigs of system memory and it works fine.
