Correct! You can set the height of that POI.
Now I have a P3S so no "obstacle avoidance". That's why I have to take my time and set up a mission very carefully. Some times if I can I will fly it several time to make sure I'm where I need to be then make my final video flight.
I will add that you should always walk or drive your route before you fly. Power lines move and trees grow.
How many miles to and back? or yards or feet.I did not have any actions set. The two that I had saved did not even have any POI and I had some sharp turns. I created a big mission that I'll fly this weekend with POI, with a lot of interpolate so I'll let you know how that turns out. Thanks
If that's my intention for the video yes. I ran that one around the house at 4.0 mph.
So smooth - is that "interpoling"?I ran this one at 4.0 mph also.

I don't know if the CVS export shares all the information, but is it true you are flying a large part of the mission backwards?I've attached my WP mission in the txt file. I'd love for someone more experienced to take a look at it in their Mission Hub and see if they have any recommendations (other than to walk the area to see if there are any other obstacles I couldn't see on the map) or concerns.
Good Points!Have been using Litchi for about a month now with terrific results. Here's a few things I've learned.
1 On a Litchi flight plan the drone will often be flying sideways. The obstacle avoidance only works for obstacles facing the 'front' of the drone - for many Litchi flights you will have no obstacle avoidance
2 This makes it very important you 'eyeball' the flight path and not depend on the satellite imagery provided by Litchi
3 If the drone becomes disconnected because of poor signal strength it will complete the flight
4 Practice small flight paths first, by small I mean you retain visual contact with the drone
5 Give yourself plenty of vertical room - if you're not sure of the height of an object (building, tree, bridge) fly to it manually, check the height and add 10m
6 Make sure you understand the difference between elevation and altitude and how to fly over terrain which varies in elevation
7 Double check your RTH altitude in relation to the terrain you're flying in
This is a link to my first Litchi flight. I love the app but have had a couple of near misses because all due to pilot error
Actually, no. POIs are usually ground features, so you want the camera framed on the object of interest, right?Not sure why but in the mission hub for Litchi the height defaults to 3 feet for a POI. That's crazy too low.
I'm not that experienced but I noticed you didn't make a rookie mistake by adding your last waypoint in side the fence from home not much room there. Out side is good the fence not too far away from . HOME AND NOT TOO CLOSE TOAlso the last waypoint is far enough away from the street. I see you also dropped the altitude to 90 feet after WP4 heading towards 5 because you have a POI between 4 and 5. That's quite house/mansion? Whatever it is, if there is a pause button to set for let's say 10 seconds that would be great. I heard that there might be somewhere in Litchi.I've attached my WP mission in the txt file.

Actually, I think its 3m (10') actually. In any case, this is about right most of the time.
JxBx80 it seems that Litchi does not export POIs. I tried exporting a mission and reloading it.Thanks everyone! @rene van der meer , yes I am flying a great distance away, backwards, focusing on where me and my party will be hanging out. Not sure why my POIs are not showing up for you because that might have explained why I was facing some of the directions I was facing. I am flying many straight paths, but I have strong curves implemented as well. I do not really start looking forward when I'm flying until I hit WP 23. I'll do some separate orbit shots outside of the mission and then sprinkle them in to the final video.
Has anyone had any luck flying the P4 with Litchi on a Nexus 7 II? So far, all I get is "failure to connect to DJI servers" message, and litchi blames it on DJI. DJI, of course, does not respond.
