That's correct. The app controls the gimbal position so if you lose connection, the Phantom will leave the gimbal as it was when connection was lost. Everything else is controlled in the Phantom so it will continue the mission as it was programmed.
I agree with the others - Litchi is solid...
I'm back to the Phantom after a hiatus when I needed to spend time on some other hobbies. Upon my return, I found that Litchi has become much more mainstream and I stepped into it. Litchi has opened completely new possibilities to my Phantom use! I'm loving the waypoint mode. Being able to...
I'm not trying to get footage of fireworks in our area tonight as the weather is rather rainy this weekend. It seems that this is one area that figuring out how to do a synced audio recording (perhaps just with a phone) and adding that back into the final video would be really good. Fireworks...
If you're referring to a gimbal saver (device designed to attach to the gimbal to try to prevent separation and damage to the ribbon cable), I found the PhantomFix 3 to be an inexpensive solution. It doesn't adversely affect the gimbal at all and was easy to install.
Some people are also...
I upgraded my old iPad 2 when my P3 came to the iPad Air 2 and am super happy with it. No glitches at all for the Pilot app. It runs my work apps faster and the battery is incredible.
I have the cellular version without cellular service for now. I cache the maps either with my phone as a...
My P3 is the first DJI product I've owned. After pre-ordering it, I started reading all I could on this site and quickly developed an expectation that things might not go perfectly smoothly with firmware updates. But despite the complaints and problems, it seems that in the past when there...
After seeing this post about a week ago, I ordered the Phantom Fix Bracket 3 from www.DJIPhantomFix.com and it arrived yesterday. The included instructions were easy to follow and the installation was a breeze. This was a really inexpensive solution to this potential weakness with high quality...
It could be that we need some new stickies. There are a lot of new people who are asking great questions with good intentions. Unfortunately, most of these questions have been answered many times but those answers are buried down in the forum timeline.
I'm guessing that if the moderators...
I headed down to our riverfront today to try to shoot some video of one of the riverboat cruise ships leaving port. Unfortunately very soon after taking flight and turning upriver to cover the short distance from my home point to the dock area about 5 birds started circling my phantom and...
I checked closely tonight and I have the same lines on the JPG files, but the RAW files are flawless. So for now, shooting in RAW or RAW + JPG is even more important.
Hope that helps while they get it fixed,

I did the firmware update yesterday and had a couple of great flights afterward.
I got to checking for these lines closely tonight and found that the JPG's that I shot have the exact same distortions that are reported in this thread. The pattern is identical, but the color depends on the...
After my firmware upgrade yesterday, I did another IMU calibration after carefully checking for level on the surface I used. I still see some small levelness problems, but they are much better than before. I don't think it was the firmware, but rather that I got a better calibration this time...
I think the main thing that you may be missing is that there are tons of very satisfied pilots out there who are flying their P3's almost every day. Most of us have had minimal problems. I did the new firmware update yesterday, recalibrated everything and had 2 amazing flights! I have had my...
Are you counterweighting your gimbal? Some have decided to do that, and I'm not sure yet. I got my Polar Pro filters yesterday but haven't had them up in the air yet.

Although this is certainly an important topic, is it in the right forum? This is Phantom 3 Discussion. Perhaps the General Discussion or News section would be more appropriate.
This is the location I come to read and share Phantom 3 experiences, advice and other topics that specifically...
