Pretty awesome flight last night. Can't believe how far this thing can go in city!
I'm constantly trying to figure out which daughter is gonna be the one that'll be responsible for me going to jail after causing great harm to someone's son.Shoot the boyfriends on site. Let the Phantom go out. Winner winner chicken dinner.
What type of mission was this? Was it straight line or curved? The second half of the mission had pauses in it. Did you program pictures at those stops? Did you hit pause to stop at those locations? Was it manual gimbal control or custom? Lastly, do you happen to have polar pro light kit on the legs? I thought I saw red bleed on a leg in one shot. I don't think it's the safest flight to try but it was cool to watch. I would only suggest, having done litchi flights too, that you default no lower than 160',especially when you're that far out. It still looks low in height but it's usually higher than most obstacles you'll come across. At 130' up that far out, I would have never been comfortable knowing for sure I'd clear everything. And a couple times, you almost didn't.Using Litchi Waypoints and POI Elevation varied from 130f to 380f at about 25mph
You can always lock them in a closet. 100% success rate! [emoji23]I used to love watching videos like this. I'd think, "wow, that's awesome! I have to get one of those phantom 3's and that Litchi app". But now I actually spent the money on one. It's ruined these videos for me because I spend the whole time thinking about the tremendous anxiety I'd have sending my phantom out on it's own like that.
But I'll have to get used to it if I plan on adding aerial footage to my video services I currently offer. Plus I have two daughters that will be dating and driving in about 10 years. So, if I can't get past the separation anxiety with my phantom, how will I handle teenage daughters?
Are you using a tracking device just in case or are you butt nekid with this flight?

Any chance you can make the mission public on Litchi Mission Hub so we can look at the details? I'm slowly building up to flights of this magnitude and seeing how you control it from waypoint to waypoint would really help me out. Awesome flight!
that was awesome ! being a total newb, I must say that I would be so paranoid sending my P3 out there at night like that, I would be so worried that It would crash and I would lose site of it etc, etc etc... LOL Of course, I'm in the middle of nowhere and would be even more concerned about hitting tree's out here ! and BTW, what is Litchi ?
