Hi,
I have used an app called Udemy and they do a course for Litchi called Phantom Filmschool and there are three altogether if you get the first one they give discount on the next two.

If you're going to fly using waypoints then yes. If you want the ability to keep the camera facing an object while you fly with ease then yes. If you're just flying around your area manually without any interest in smooth cinematic video then probably not worth it.
Here's an example. I still have a long way to go but most of these shots would look much less smooth if I had to do them by hand

With the Phantom 3 or 4, the only way to separate the video is by adding the HDMI video port ($100) from DJI. This replaces the USB connector on the back of the controller with both a USB and a HDMI connectors. On the controller, you set for simultaneous display, and you have output on both the USB to your tablet and to the goggles through the HDMI connector (I use the Headplay and it is great!). I am waiting for receipt of a Skyzone TX-5D HDMI transmitter. I'm going to experiment with plugging it into the Phantom controller's HDMI jack and "transmitting" the video to goggles and a tablet/receiver! Let's see if I can cut the cord without creating lag time!
Correct and verified with Litchi. Upload your mission at the start and then connection to controller not needed. I sometimes get a WARNING DISCONNECTED message. The first few flights with Litchi I I initiated a RTH at this point. Now I am more confident and when this message pops up I let the drone complete its missions
One thing to keep in mind with Lichi is once the remote looses contact with the P4, it continues the mission, and obstacle avoidance does not function during missions when the pre set heading or pointing at a poi does not have the P4 pointed in the direction its actually heading, therefore if a wp altitude is not enough to clear objects at that wp, then she won't show back up. I also know the camera does does continue to point correctly, and tilt automatically if proper settings are employed (right?) when out of range of remote. I have issues with the yaw smoothness even at the best settings, but Litchi missions can automatically give great smooth yaw turns, and I keep the tilt function on manual to frame my subject better, but that control is lost when range exceeds the remote, so I try to stay within range. Most would agree there is high apprehension when a mission takes it beyond the remote's range and screen goes blank, and you just hope it comes back on when it starts getting back in range, but it is a great feeling when it does!

I'm using Litchi to film all 18 holes of a golf course. I have has a couple of near misses with trees but that was possibly my fault not giving enough clearance. The great thing about Litchi is that you can return to your mission position as many times as you want and re-film if things don't go right first time. (weather is a problem here in the UK so clouds spoil some shots, just re-shoot !!
Good Luck....

I haven't seen a single post where a problem has has been confirmed as being caused by a glitch in Litchi.
Hi great shots. I just bought my program and I getting used to it. My question is there any way of tracking should there be a problem with the Phantom when it is out of sight. to expensive to lose.

Ghost,
Litchi is the only way I fly. I have 153. miles on Litchi and my Phantom 3 Pro already. No problems. Most of that mileage is using Litchi waypoint missions. It is awesome. I am using the new Samsung Galaxy 9.7" Tab S2. It's the very bright screen with an 8 core processor. runs Litchi perfectly. I don't use the dji go app anymore. Check out some mission flights over the ocean cliffs in Northern California at "Jeeping Joe Youtube"

I love Litchi..however I did the firmware update yesterday and today Litchi's video froze up on me when I jumped to aircraft/camera settings inflight. It did it twice on two different flights today. I will do more testing tomorrow to see if this keeps up. When the video froze I had to completely end the app pull the USB cord then restart the app and connect. I did it during flight which was a bit concerning. Good thing the bird was not far away from me...but is was right next to a large power windmill I was filming
