    Slightly choppy/jerky footage

    Well I use an i7, 32GB, 1TB SSD and a GTX 980, so I don't think it's my machine.

    Is there any alternative to a phantom??

    From what I can tell so far about the 3DR, they are not aiming it at the prosumer but instead the "average joe" who is afraid to buy a drone because they don't know what they are doing. This concerns me a bit, I would rather buy something better than DJI. I'm also concerned about their API, if...

    POI is limited to 100m altitude, would you consider raising this to 200m. I live in South America, no FAA rules here Sent from my phone

    Do the admins of this and the Inspire forum also have a 3DR forum? I prefer to avoid that RCgroups site. I really dislike how poor the customer service is at DJI and am curious to learn more about the 3DR Sent from my phone

    Best battery practices P2V+

    So you are saying you "fully purge" (basically you deplete the battery as far as it will go on its own, forcing to auto land), whereas others say never do this... and you have 200 flights on your batteries where others say the batteries start to fail after 50 flights. So far still a lot of...

    What's the truth? Hover to idle purge? Never drain below 20%? Every 20 runs drain to zero? So much conflicting info Sent from my phone

    Litchi app on Android

    To further clarify my request, for me personally when I launch GS missions I do it with the copter on the ground. So ideally, for me, it would work like this: 1) Set waypoints, altitude, etc 2) Have an 'ascend first' option somewhere, like POI 3) Submit mission and hit 'OK' 4) Litchi ascends...

    I understand. I wish you could just know we are in GS and about to submit a GS mission for flight, and then manually ascend to the altitude of the first waypoint before you actually 'engage' the GS mission after we hit 'OK'.

    Speaking of this, there is no Home icon on the POI screen. I had to switch to GS mode then clicked Home. In high winds I find having it land itself is better than what I can do manually. Sent from my phone

    I used POI for the first time today and it worked perfectly. I do wish I could have a higher radius like 250m, but otherwise it was perfect. I did more testing today with the waypoints in high wind, and found a setting of 'stay 0 seconds' did help a lot, however it would still hover at the...

    In our world it is common for people to earn a paycheck when they put in a lot of work on a commercial product. If you want a free app or disagree with the model of earning compensation for your work, then please find an alternative product and leave this developer alone.

    Since it isn't working, and since you are so unhappy about the additional fee, I suggest you ask for a refund which I am sure you will receive. That way you can move on to a different app. This developer deserves a great deal of credit and I want to defend him against people who make negative...
