Thx Joshua but that wouldn't work for me. I want this setup to work anywhere anytime. Cabling would be too impractical as I would need permissions to setup the cable let alone the time to set them up. Thx though

Should have been a bit more specific. I definitely want to be locked into a waypoints mission (for the safety of height above terrain) and have the flight speed predetermined, so with those things automated and out of the way, I can then focus my attention on panning and tilting the camera just...

Hello again all I and filming a section of river with Litchi on Android / P4P and while I want the safety/assurity of a locked in height above the river of 5 meters/16.5 feet, I also want to be able to manually yaw left and right and tilt the camera up and down at will without the tilt and yaw...

The 15 satellites pinpoint my position. There is no signal stength from my phone where I fly so I gather the maps and my location come from the satelittes. If I dont have sigstrength from wifi (and I never do), how do the maps appear then?

Sorry should have been more explicit. Using Android Sansung Tab S2 No cache. Had 15 satellites beaming down. So had good signal strength. I've always just fired up the system for Maps to show up. This is the first time I've had this issue with Maps. Config has not changed since last sortire.

Did a training sortie today in an open paddock, ie clear or trees or other obstacales other than cows;) Two negatives happened. 1. The gyro for the camera did not spin up/function 2. Google Maps was not visible. So I bring the P4P back and close down/recycle everything. The gyro now works but...

Thats a bit scary...."if you have no connection at the end of the mission, you could be in trouble." Can you elaborate on how problems might occur and what type of problems might occur. thx

Thx Drone Freedom27 Yes if something goes wrong during the mission, I would have NO - 1. knowledge of it having issues and 2. no ability to compensate for the problem. Furthermore, I would not know where it is should it fall out of the sky or hit a tree, so it's a scary notion to trust the...

I am experimenting with a longish mission which has hills involved, or rather, in the way. It's a stretch of road being upgraded and I want to video it to present to the contractor that it has worth to him and hence you get the drift.. It's just over 2km long, winding and the further the P4P...

Thx t65d I've tried an Android phone and another tablet. Both tell me "signal lost" as soon as there is a connection to Litchi. Set the connection type to RNDIS (USB Ethernet), as I always have and that is having no imact on sucess at all. On the tablet I use with Litchi, a Samsung Tab S2...

Litchi is not accepting my login details, nor my eddress to reset it. WTF! Any clues? Thx

Finally back. Thank you all for the valuable input. Looks like setting up the waypoints manual sounds the sane way to go, then refine it. That will be a much safer option too of course and I like that idea. Came across a great YTV by Dragon 7 re creating a virtual mission - that too is going...

Thx Rodpad. I'll be in touch. Couldnt fly last evening nor this morning due to high winds. Shot ground stills anyway ( this morning) which was worthwhile. Gotta drive away tomorrow morning from this location and wont be back for a few weeks so its tonight or not at all for a while. Full moon...

Thx for the replies. I am going to give it a shot tomight. Re the VLM I need more time to have a go. Thx all n I'll freport back

Hi. Im pretty new to Litchi and am getting a handle on it. Something I really want to do is film half way up a group of trees - they are in Australia and are called Grasstrees, Balga trees and the old term was Blackboy's - it was said they looked like an aboriginal hunter with a spear pointing...
