I tend to agree with you. My understanding was that the missions were loaded into the drone so they could be flown by the drone independently from the controller. That way, the mission continued to fly even though contact was lost with the controller.

I did not rerun that particular mission since I have completed that job and didn't want to have to go out onto the golf course again, but I have flown a couple of test missions since recalibrating and the camera centers on the point of interest much better. It's still not spot on, but it's...

I think I've come to that conclusion as well. Since I am still in learning mode, I often make stupid mistakes. The other day, for example, I set the drone on a metal surface to launch because it happened to be the flattest place to set it. Big mistake. I got compass errors to the point that the...

One other thing. There seems to be some confusion between heading and gimbal pitch. If I understand it correctly, the heading is what keeps the camera pointed at the point of interest horizontally. The gimbal pitch keeps the camera pointed at the point of interest vertically. My problem is with...

I did not lose the signal since the cruise speed was slow enough for us to follow the drone around on its course. And as I have said above, I see this also on other shots. The golf course is a good example. I can fly the drone straight down a fairway with the green as the point of interest and...

It was toward the end of the orbit when it became the worst and the point of interest was nearly out of the frame. That being said, I have done this when I was first testing the Litchi app and I was orbiting my house. The result was the same - the house wan't always centered in the frame, and...

I rather doubt that would make much difference when it comes to keeping the point of interest in the center of the frame. It might make a difference when it comes to the gimbal pitch, but the point of interest should still be centered. At least that's my understanding. The kids were the ones who...

Thank you. Here is the mission my students did around the school. You'll see a point of interest in the middle of the football field. Towards the end of the orbit of the field, the point of interest was barely in the frame. Mission Hub - Litchi

I am a bit new to droning and using the Litchi app, which I find to be a great tool, and I have a question about Litchi. I have used the Litchi app on a couple of jobs, one a golf course and the other for real estate. I also teach an aviation class at a high school and had my kids use the app to...

Thanks so much for the suggestions. I got a lull in the wind and rain today so I modified the mission and flew it. It worked like a charm. Litchi should say something about that in their documentation as it would avoid problems like this. The only thing that still doesn't work quite right is the...

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to this. I'll give this a try as soon as I can. Really windy and rainy today though. :-(

That would probably do it. Duh. Sorry for being such a novice at this. Let's try again. Mission Hub - Litchi

This is weird. I copied the link and pasted it into another browser. When I hit Enter, it defaults to the mission hub, which is Mission Hub - Litchi The actual URL I send is Mission Hub - Litchi Since this appears not to be working I'm going to type part of it out flylitchi.com/hub which is the...

This is what I get when I copy the link using the link button, but that is what I originally sent, which you said was merely a link to the mission hub. Mission Hub - Litchi
