This link (Help - Litchi) will take you the Waypoints help that Litchi offers. It really is amazing what you can do with this app.

I am also a big believer in the public relations responsibility that every drone pilot takes on. I do what you do and take the time to show people what I am photographing or filming, and when I land I will show them the videos. Once they gain an understanding of what my goal is while flying...

When the battery reaches a critical level, your Phantom will autoland. That's a built in safety feature that is for the aircraft and the pilot's protection. Just plan missions with the battery life always in mind and this will not be an issue. I have done many autonomous missions and never...

If I'm flying an autonomous mission I would never consider pushing the Phantom to fly more than a mile away simply because I do not know the wind speed that far away, and wind will drain the battery real fast. Why not just fly shorter missions, and if you really need to get a video of a mission...

I have updated my Phantom 3 Advanced every time DJI pushed out the Firmware update. I have not had any issues to date. I am usually on the side of trusting the manufacturer when they introduce the updates. They certainly would never intentionally make changes that would cause their customers...

I purchased mine from MultiRotorHeli in Calgary AB and have only praise for the service I received from them. Sent from my SM-N900W8 using PhantomPilots mobile app

I use the Android version of the Litchi app to plan missions. They have a Mission Hub online that allows me to preplan my flights. Here is a sample: (). As a previous poster said it is critical that you are aware of the ground elevation and fly at a safe altitude. However I would recommend...

As soon as I looked at the Healthy Drones upload I noticed the compass error report. At one point you show an 85.3 turn rate in 1/10th of a second. That's a pretty fast change in direction. Sorry you lost your Phantom. I hope you have some success with DJI.

I think I would rather fly than spend time discussing something I cannot change. It's way more fun!!

I have attached two (2) pictures. Picture HD-1 shows the compass report, and there is obviously something wrong here. This report shows the rates of turn per .10 of a second. 25 degrees or more is an issue according to the report. Do you calibrate your compass away from metal objects...

If you don't mind waiting a little bit for your copter, I would recommend MultiRotorHeli (No.1 Source for Inspire 1 and Phantom 3 Series in Canada). They provide excellent service and carry a fair amount of stock. I bought my Phantom 3 Advanced from then and it came in 4 day after I had...

Ditto. Just managed only one flight and am waiting for Mother Nature to calm the winds so I can go out again. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

I was fortunate in that my update of my Phantom 3 Advanced and the remote control worked the first time. After the copter was updated I completed the remote control update with the DJI Go app. However this is a very well done video tutorial! Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

I upgraded to 1.8 this afternoon and had no problems when I took a flight. Everything worked as it had before. But what I liked was that the camera tilting to one side has been cured. I was on 1.7 and I had the tilt and now it's gone. In conclusion - I would not hesitate. I also have the...
