Autopilot has never charged for adding support for additional aircraft types.

Nope an Aussie, he replaced my Border Collie when he died. Great dogs.
Yep, my Border Collie is my sidekick when I fly. She prefers the Frisbee though. LOL
I wanted an app to do some POI vids of her playing Frisbee and it looks like the AutoPilot might be a better choice than Litchi. Just need to read up on how you work them.
Have you done any aerial footage like that yourself?

My Aussie has slowed down considerably, he is almost 11. I have just done a few shots from above of him and my wife, nothing fancy. I am still steep into the learning curve, only had this P3P for about a month. I have only scratched the surface as far as the possibilities with this thing. Just purchased AutoPilot so I am looking forward to expanding my abilities. I may see a P4 in the near future...LOL!
Autopilot is a great app well worth the price ,I also have Litchi for IOS but prefer Autopilot. Lots of features.
Back to the topic: The first time you use Autopilot for a paying job, your increased skill level as a pilot will allow you to capture photos or video that is not possible with 2 sticks and fingers moving dials on the RC, PLUS your investment will be paid for from that day forward. If you are wanting to impress friends & family what your aerial camera is capable of...YOU WILL. The basic capability by DJI go app using the "F" flight mode is just that....BASIC. I have had one of my favorite sessions utilizing Autopilot by never starting my P3P props...I positioned it on a block wall aiming at a rolling hillside, autopilot engaged with "Black Box" and "continuous photos" allowing my manual camera settings to fire 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30 second intervals of the sun rise against the hill, compiling these stills into a time lapse video.
IMHO, this app is definitely worth the $29.99. I can't compare to Litchi, since I haven't used both.
I set up a waypoint mission around a property we just bought, changing the altitude and camera focus direction to catch all the angles and views. I plan to run the mission periodically as we build our new house, and then edit the set of videos to produce a time lapse of the project by cross-fading between them. I think the end result will be very cool, well worth the $29.99 (well, technically plus the cost of the Phantom, but I would have bought that anyway).
