    Gimbal swings left and right freely

    Hi I have been given a P3P that is doing the same thing .I have a P3A that I can compare the gimbal behaviour against . How did you go with your repair ? I have no resistance to yaw movement when the P3p is powered up .In flight the footage is very unstable but the camera doesnt move around as...

    Would you fly in a drought-stricken area during a "burn ban"?

    We have cars start fires up on the highway from time to time .People don't realise that the catalytic converters get very hot and that can start a fire if they pull off the road into long dry grass.

    Flying an extreme Litchi waypoint program.

    The heading will change to face the relevant POI but the pitch of the camera will stay at what it was when you lost contact with the controller . Try putting a poi right on/under your flight path it have an interesting effect.(:

    Flying an extreme Litchi waypoint program.

    I'm interested to know if GE gave you the right elevation .Do you know the correct elevation for the beacon The best I could find off a topo map was 248m above sea level. I have only tried the follow me function once .It doesn't work like you are towng a water skier . When you start you have...

    Flying an extreme Litchi waypoint program.

    The other issues not often mentioned is that the Google Earth elevation which Litchi uses can be out by 11-12m in areas of constantly changing ground evevatin .This is why carefully reviewing the footage is important .After a while you get a feel for what real height above ground level is rather...

    Flying an extreme Litchi waypoint program.

    You can set the elevation at each waypoint yourself or select the above ground option which will set them for you but just remember that if you set your waypoints too far apart you may miss a rise in the ground since the phantom is flying from the height you set for one waypoint to the height...

    I looked at your planned mission on GE

    Flying an extreme Litchi waypoint program.

    Id suggest you learn a bit more about how Litchi works before you try this .Plan some smaller missions first .You want the" trial and error "without the error ah .

    Can someone help me optimize my waypoints flight?

    I'm not sure worth a try though

    Can someone help me optimize my waypoints flight?

    Try Interpolate in the mission settings.

    Can someone help me optimize my waypoints flight?

    I missed your posted mission sorry .Looking at your mission settings you have default curve setting 75% but each of the WPs is showing 0 curve size. I have always manually entered the curve size but it should work the way you have done it .Try ticking Interpolate

    Can someone help me optimize my waypoints flight?

    I created this one a while back by finding the type of spiral I wanted on Google printing it on tracing paper then pinning the paper over the laptop screen and placing WPs along it .Crude way of going about it but it worked . I found the camera movement jerky at some WPs if the curves were not...
