Yea ok but why would I want to upload all my data and everything to another site?
You don't have to, we are just showing what the options are. You are free to do what you will with the data files, which are all available in the base version of the app
as stated here.
Can you clarify whether or not it has the ability to control gimbal pitch to maintain focus on an object?
Absolutely, check out the
focus subject offset options in Flight School
You can even set the Focus Subject offset by just rolling the gimbal wheel and Autopilot will calculate it for you.
what is the difference between "joystick" mode vs "passive" mode for camera control?
and is it possible to have 2 POI like with Litchi? Ie, point A focus on 1 POI and Point B Focused on 2nd POI?
thanks
The various focus strategies are
described in detail here.
The app can only have one focus point at a time right now.
I use an iPad Air (WiFi) which doesn't have built in GPS. What are the repercussions of this in terms of flying the Phantom, compared to, say, an iPad
Air 2? I am thinking about adding a GPS receiver and am looking at Bad Elf or SkyPro. Does anyone have any thoughts on which system would work best;
The reprecussions of this are discussed in Flight School under the
Operator Location Limitation section.
I purchased this app sometime ago to use with my P2V+ and was pleasantly surprised that the upgrades I purchased did indeed carry over to this new release...Thanks Autopilot for that...
No problem. I would like to point out that we did this as a thank you to all the early adopters - that is, we gave you guys free upgrades for the 50+ new features and settings that we spent considerable resources developing.
Here is the full list of what the upgrade included.
Any way to possibly share the settings to achieve this type of flight?
Autopilot automatically generates a log of the Mode Controls used during the flight, so you could ask the creator of the video for the log. If you have some specific questions on how to set up a certain shot, feel free to email

If it costs $20 for Litchi for more modes, Why is Autopilot costing 2.5 times for less functionality. If you start using the comments well development takes time and resource, yes you are correct but the Litchi dev put the same time and effort in for a substantially lower price point.
If Litchi can run a successful and sustainable business with their feature set and pricing structure, more power to them. Autopilot is priced in a way that allows us to continue creating a product that we feel is second to none.
devs are not doing it for free and are being compensated quite well.
You actually don't have a basis for saying this, as the only information you have is the sale price, but you do not know the actual sales numbers, or our cost structure as a company. I realize there is probably nothing I can say to make you believe me, but at this point I would classify this project as a labor of love, not a gold rush / price gouge session / insert other negative analogy here, etc
Remember that they only added features to existing programs, they haven't rewritten it from the ground up, right?
Not true, one of the defining differentiators of Autopilot is its custom Flight Controller,
as discussed here.
The iPad knows where it is on the map too once it's tethered and using the iPhone's LTE!There is a link missing here.....
Autopilot uses the standard location services API built in to iOS. If iOS has a location (from whatever source), Autopilot will also have it. As stated previously, we are unaware of any documentation showing that tethered phones share their location.
