    Is D-log worth the trouble?

    I've been trying to get to grips with videoing with my P3 Advanced and I have to confess I'm finding everything very complicated, so I want to simplify things if I can. I've been shooting in D-log because this was recommended as the best mode, but of course, the results are terrible before you...

    Litchi waypoint question

    For a while I've been putting off trying waypoints with Litchi in case something goes wrong. I've decided that the safest option would be to get the bird about a hundred feet up, start the mission and arrange for it to end with the bird hovering in mid air so I can bring it down manually...

    What is Assistant?

    When I last had a Phantom, I would occasionally have to upgrade the firmware and would get the update from the DJI website. I lost my bird and replaced it, and recently it told me I needed a firmware update, so I went to the site for it, and find it's referring to something called 'Assistant'...

    P3 Firmware Advanced firmware

    I wonder if anyone can advise me here? I have a P3 Advanced and for the first time, it has advised me to update the firmware. I went to DJIs website but the only updates you can download seem to be for the Professional. Are these the same ones that you can use for the Advanced? And could anyone...

    Litchi for Mavic?

    Do you think you will be able to get Litchi for this soon? It would be great to be able to do waypoint missions with this.

    Histogram and zebra stripes on Litchi?

    I think the best way to set exposure is by using the histogram and 'zebra stripes' features. Trouble is, I can't for the life of me find where they are on the Android version of the Litchi app. Can anyone help me please?

    Manual exposure question

    Because it's hard to judge exposure by how the scene looks on the screen, especially in bright sunlight, I would prefer to use the histogram. But I like to use the Litchi app and don't know if it does histogram - can anyone help me with this please?

    Manual exposure question

    Thank you for those helpful replies. There's one thing I want to know especially. I'm new to video, and I'm used to still photography using film. With film your exposure has to be almost spot on, otherwise the picture will either be too dark or else washed out. But how much leeway is there in...

    Manual exposure question

    I notice that many people use manual exposure when videoing so that the scene doesn't keep changing. I want to use manual exposure myself, but which ISO setting do I use? Is there any rule of thumb where you use a particular ISO for sunny and another for overcast? Or is it all just trial and error?

    RTH on a Litchi waypoint mission

    I'd appreciate some advice here. If your bird is halfway through a Litchi waypoint mission and you want it to return to home, like pressing the RTH button in the DJI Go app, can this be done, and if so, how? Thanks.

    Advantages of Litchi mission hub?

    If you don't plan to share missions, is there any advantage to planning them using the mission hub rather than just using the app?
