Well, ive squeezed in around 20 hours of flight in this week since I got my P3A. I have got a fair bit of experience having had a Bebop 1 and 2.
What i want to do is use Litchi which I bought for Android to do some missions that I have prepared in advance...ive basically taken them from the ones i did with the bebop, so quite confident in the accuracy of the waypoints etc.
A couple of things Im not sure of yet with the Phantom.
What happens if I lose contact....either video or controller during a mission?
Ive had the message "lost contact" pop up a couple of times while flying. Always been fairly close though, so can easily fly the drone back, even though I get the choice to send home.
Not sure what is causing that seeing as its less than 100m away at the time.
AM i right in thinking if its on a mission, as long as it is calibrated correctly before it goes off, it will carry on all the way round?
Ive set Litchi to start recording at the first waypoint...but it doesnt seem to take any notice of that...i need to test that more i guess....but i think it will be easier to jsut press record after take off.
If I am recording with Litchi and then stop recording to take a photo....I take a photo, and then the screen jsut stays on the pic...so I have to manually bring the drone down and then reset the app....I like Litchi but it seems a bit Glitchi
Is there anything else I need to think about before starting these missions? Most of them are around 3kn long and take around 10 mins or so
