Yes, P3P, Litchi and DJI GO work fine with 2017 iPad Pro 9.7" running iOS 14.0.1.

Do DJI GO app and Litchi have any trouble with the new iOS 14? (P3P user).

I have a few years old P3P with two good batteries, a case, a backpack, ND and polarizer filters and some knowledge and experience using all that. I have planned to get a spare P3P to protect those old investments. Are unused P3Ps still available? I know newer DJI models are better but does...

I have tried to find royalty-free music but it is VERY time-consuming to pick some random previously unknown piece and decide in a few seconds how much I like it. It is much easier to use previously known-good songs. I have uploaded very few of my videos to YouTube and I accept the ads. Once a...

My very first P3P soundtrack was Massive Attack's "Group Four", maybe because it had helicopter rotor blade sounds at the very beginning. I prefer instrumental for drone videos but the vocals in this piece are nicely floating. I have used the more instrumental end of that song in some later...

P3P 4K video is 60 Mb/s and the file system splits files at 4 GB i.e. at about each 9 minutes. I often forget to start a brand new video clip just before starting a longish Litchi mission. I then have to try to hide the few dropped frames at the 9 minute break point. I haven't found a perfect...

Ditto. Maybe 12 fps or less is even more cinematic then?! I have always disliked the "cinematic" jerky panning when going to the cinema. Maybe that's why I think Hobbit at 48 fps isn't so bad everyone seems to suggest! (I live in a PAL country so 24 fps vs 25 fps should be negligible). ;-)

Thanks for the tip. What is your max time before topping-up? I.e. the battery was fully charged and the auto-discharge has not yet kicked in. How many hours or days until you top-up before flight? 12 hours? 1day? 10 days?

Is possible to use Litchi for timelapse? With DJI GO it is possible to set image intervals (AFAIK P3P minimum is 10s for .dng or 2s for .jpg). Then set waypoints, speed, and run the mission. https://www.tim-dehring.com/en/how-to-create-a-dronelapse-2/ I did a quick test and it works OK. But...

In macOS I have one "Carbon Copy Cloner.app" almost up-to-date full bootable backup of my work disk and another every-one-month backup. ...just two weeks ago I begun to have occasional "spinning pizza of death" cursors and I/O errors (i.e. failing disk). So a few days ago I installed a new HD...

"iOS 11.3 with my P4P. My issue is that I can't switch between the go app and litchi without getting a "disconnected" message each time I switch between the two apps. The only way I can remedy this is by disconnecting and reconnecting the phone which immediately restores all functionality." I...

When I save and re-open a mission in the just updated Litchi 2.1.2 (iOS 11.3), negative gimbal pitches are displayed wrong (positive numbers are OK). Do others see this error?

Thanks, my memo about VPS is below. I have had VPS always ON although I have almost always flown outside (just once we dusted our living room). A few months ago I had a Litchi mission where I foolishly set the altitude at 10 meters over our house thinking it was 2 meters above it. Miraculously...

I have a pre-planned Litchi mission over a frozen lake I might execute in a few days. The 1st part of the mission is 700 m distance at max speed, then the AC climbs to 120 m. I have set the altitude to 20 meters to play it safe. NOT 20 centimeters!! The lake should be level but... I guess VPS...

In my P3P the D-Log color profile is unrelated to the ISO setting. I use ISO 100, if possible.
