    Litchi leash, video

    Isn't the purpose of the Litchi Leash to follow a person or other moving object. I would assume it does so by locking its camera onto the subject. If you were to move the camera gimbal to view something else you would lose the ability to follow your subject and end up with a problem.

    Litchi compatibility

    The Litchi app is for IOS devices running IOS 8 and newer and is not device dependent. So it should work with your iPhone 5. Also, the Litchi app is not used with DJI GO. It is an independent stand alone operating system used instead of DJI GO. You should not run both apps simultaneously as they...

    USPS Sucks.

    It's not only USPS, I've seen some recent videos of UPS and FedEx drivers actually throwing packages over fences, etc..

    Litchi question

    That makes perfect sense. If, for example, you take off from a cliff and want to drop down and fly below your takeoff point.

    Litchi question

    I neither have nor use Litchi so I will guess. Either the app will not allow use of a negative waypoint below level ground or, if it does, you can sell your Phantom for parts on eBay. Just my guess :-)

    The extra work is worth the level of safety - Commercial Operations

    Nicely done. I'm always happy to hear of successful outcomes such as you described. It sure beats the heck out of posts wanting to know how high and far can I fly and how can I get around the regs.

    Problem with Litchi App and mini iPad 2?

    Thanks all, I'll be purchasing the Litchi app. It seems only those who have problems of any kind tend to do all the posting leaving all the good/great experiences people have left unsaid.

    Problem with Litchi App and mini iPad 2?

    I'm considering buying the Litchi App for use with my Phantom 3A, but have read of problems using it with the mini iPad 2. Users say the app cuts out for no apparent reason. Is there a known bug in the software and if so is there a work around? Any advice with the combo would be appreciated.

    P3 Firmware Firmware or bird problem?

    I updated my RC wirelessly via wifi. Couldn't be simpler, yet they don't show this as an option.

    Phantom 3 Advanced - Update Problem

    Fixed. I was advised to turn the aircraft on so it could "report" to the controller that it was a P3A. I could then update the RC. All seems well now.

    Phantom 3 Advanced - Update Problem

    Just reinstalled the DJI GO app. No change. From the GO Home Page with RC off, I select Phantom 3 Advanced. As soon as I turn the controller on, the device changes to Phantom 4. There is no dropdown to change it back unless I either turn the power off or pull the display plug. All was fine until...

    Phantom 3 Advanced - Update Problem

    Trying to perform the latest update to my P3A. Aircraft update seemed to go ok, but not so on my controller. When I turn controller on and initiate the Go App (IOS), it says I have a Phantom 4. If I disconnect the display, I can change settings to P3A but as soon as I reconnect or turn...

    A 3. Setting Distance and alt perimeters

    Set your altitude limit at 45 and your distance limit at 85. I'll bet the Phantom will be more in line with your expectations. It doesn't matter that you've set your parameters in the app to imperial rather than metric. Distance and altitude will be displayed in meters, like it or not.

    A 3. Setting Distance and alt perimeters

    I've also set my display to read Imperial (feet) rather then metric (meters). However, my altitude and distance settings remain displayed in meters. Check your settings displaying distance/altitude parameters. You may see a small "m" indicating meters. Just trying to be helpful.
