Yeah, My craft is registered, just would have to do the TSA vetting and then take the test it sounds like. That is really great news!

So, if I want to shoot real estate photography and charge my customers for the photos, I would simply have to take the $170-$300 Knowledge Test and I'm good to go correct? I'm really confused by the information that I'm reading.

I purchased Lichi and really like the interface, but I ran into an issue tonight with POI. I setup the POI before I flew the Phantom 3 and set it to orbit around 100 feet in the air. I launched the Phantom 3 and flew it up to 100 feet, then hit the START button on the POI. The Phantom seemed to...

Buying today!! Thanks Senc!! That answered my questions! ;) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Can you setup a POI with with gimbal/camera angles. Or a waypoint with camera angles at each waypoint? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

How does Litchi run on something like a Samsung Galaxy Note 3??

So, wow, both of these look so good. I take it they both work with the Phantom 3 Pro? It looks like neither require a special firmware. Any reviews that compare the two and or that discuss the stability of the code for both?

Thanks so much for the response. That is great information you just cleared up a lot of things for me. As for need, I was asked to film our construction site starting next week as it progresses through January. I was planning to setup a POI or OBIT and save the waypoints. Hopefully I would then...

Looks like Litchi has an "auto" mode on the gimbal that will keep the camera facing its POI target. They also have a "start" point for the P3 to fly to, go up to the saved height, and then start orbiting. Hoping DJI does this as well. I will need those functions.

Did not realize it comes out in 2 hours or less. Nice. Guess I will wait.

I was reading another thread that mentioned that it would not "save" the waypoints of a Orbit or POI. Maybe I read it wrong, but that would be what I will need, plus I need to the camera and gimbal controlled to capture the video I will need.

For those of you running Litchi now. Do you consider it stable? In other words, it is worth flashing your Phantom 3 over to a third party firmware? The Orbit features sounds like what I need! I need to be able to orbit the same spot over several weeks for a time lapse photography or video. I...

Just curious if anyone knows this yet or not. If you setup a POI on the new firmware, will you be able to fly the same pattern again using GPS coordinates? In other words, I would like to fly the same route multiple times a week possibly. Be slick if the POI or the Waypoint features allows you...

Saint Sava Serbian Orthodox Church in Cypress, TX. I drove by this church on Saturday and happened to have my quadcopter with me as well as my camera. The gates were open so I parked in the parking lot and proceeded to set up my quad. A few minutes later one of the Clergy drove up behind me...
