Nice. Thanks for sharing.

I know the method but I still feel that in mountainous terrain the potential for altitude and position errors is high. Wouldn't be so concerned in flat or gently sloping land.

You can enable it in settings in the app. Settings->Gimbal->Advanced

I fly waypoint missions in mountainous terrain a lot and I would suggest you think about the situation and risk a little differently... waypoint missions are designed to follow the waypoint path regardless of signal loss. Sounds like this is what you are looking for and this is a good thing (if...

I think that concern only relates to running waypoint missions in reverse as the speed has to be manually controlled. Obviously if you lose signal then the the speed will be zero and it will just hover. But a waypoint mission running forward should have no more/less risk of getting back to the...

Agree. I make all my waypoint missions 'circular' - i.e. the final waypoint is back at the starting location - and fly them forwards only. As always - you have to know the behavior under each setting and plan accordingly. Speaking of which, does anyone know the answer to the OP's question on...

Like you, I don't like the no RTH behavior on Orbit - wish there was an option to turn it back on. or even RTH on low battery rather than land at current location on critical battery. For wide radius orbits I actually program them in as waypoint missions with deep curves just to be sure.

Orbit seems pretty clear on the litchi help page - with signal loss it will orbit continuously then land on critical battery warning. Though I've never experienced this to verify for sure: Help - Litchi The other modes you mention don't seem to be covered. But as they all control the...

How do you mean, 'integrated in Litchi'?

1. Yes, fastest shutter. As the aperture is fixed on phantom then auto should be the in most situations (with no nd filter). As Trinimon says, you can increase the iso to speed up the shutter if you ever need to. 2. Yes. If you crop 1080 down then you lose some of the original 1080 lines of...

1) for photos you really want the shortest shutter speed to minimize blur. So basically opposite rule to video. Unless of course you want blur for some reason - waterfall, sea etc 2) I guess it really depends what you want to do with the shots and what format your eventual output would be...

To the best of my knowledge the only way to get control is to do it indirectly by adjusting the distance between two waypoints, the speed of the aircraft, and the start and finish headings. Indirect but manageable. This is my preferred way to get super smooth pans - set two way points fairly...

Glad you made the flight in the end. I have a packing checklist before leaving home (instigated after walking up a mountain with all equipment except SD card!) Here it is in case it's of use... ** Packing list and checks ** Weather check - wind, rain, cloud altitude Charged Tx Charged batteries...

I guess there are a lot of variables so hard for someone to give advice. Maybe you could publish on mission hub and then someone can look through your mission. Also, worth saying if you're on iOS or Android.

Yup you're right - even better then!
