    Cancun, Mexico. Risk Of Taking A P3 - Especially Customs Hijinks

    Just came back from cancun. On your arrival through customs, you push a button and if it's red, you are flagged for full customs search of all your bags. If green, you don't go through the thorough bag search but they may still ask to check your small bags. If they find the drone- it depends...

    Purchase Decision for Litchi: iOS or Android

    new visual tracking modes is currently unusable with Note 4 and Nexus 7 (2013) - too slow to do the visual tracking... works fine in other modes.. I may switch to IOS (iphone 6/ipad mini 3) to use the tracking modes...

    Litchi now includes track an focus for P3 and P4

    I was beta testing it on android (note 4 and nexus 7 2013), it was quite unstable. It locks onto target but yaws back and forth by itself. not sure if the release version has improved performance from the latest beta (saturday).

    Litchi for P3

    i think you are missing something - what is follow flight route and direct route home?

    Litchi for P3

    airnest does 1 thing and does it well but it's no where comparable to the functionality of litchi. (orbit, follow, panorama, focus, waypoint with multiple POI, etc)

    Airnest - Looking for Beta Testers

    As someone else noted, for android, pitch has the exact draw a path and place a POI feature. (It also adds quite a few more flight modes and features) I do love the simplicity of this app though

    Litchi help...Focus on POI during a waypoint mission.

    ignore the POI and think about the WP since the P3 doesn't actually know about your POI. it only knows about the angle at WP#1 and the angle at WP#2. it then slowly rotates from angle #1 to angle #2 throughout the entire path. if you want it to actually focus at that small point, you need 4...

    Litchi help...Focus on POI during a waypoint mission.

    Post your mission screenshots! you need to remember that the AC doesn't know about your POI! DJI SDK has no concept of a POI. the POI is essentially a guide for setting your yaw angles. you have to be strategic about placing waypoints depending on what you are trying to accomplish

    Airnest - Looking for Beta Testers

    suggestions for future improvements: when user doesn't set POI and AC yaw isn't automated, allow user to control both pitch and yaw. so AC flies itself, but user can be camera man. to improve on above, allow use of left/right stick to control gimbal (like inspire 2nd operator) instead of...

    Litchi help...Focus on POI during a waypoint mission.

    yes, focus nearest POI refers to the gimbal pitch. Heading refers to the aircraft yaw....

    Airnest - Looking for Beta Testers

    If you are using the DJI SDK WP implementation, it should allow right stick control to increase/decrease speed. also, it should allow camera control via yawing and pitching the gimbal. out of curiosity, when a path is drawn, what kind of formula do you use to determine how many waypoints to...

    Litchi help...Focus on POI during a waypoint mission.

    1. are you sure you have it set to waypoint defined and not toward next waypoint for heading mode? 2. the asymmetric placement of the POI in relationship to WP#1 and WP#2 is problematic even when set correctly. the phantom Groundstation waypoint SDK isn't "aware" of litchi's POI. it only...
