I purchased the Litchi App and have been studying the possibilities with it. I found out that when you plan a mission, the app automatically uses GPS Co-ordinates to raise or lower the Quad according to the elevation on the map. You can see this below where I added waypoints in a simple test mission drawn up on my Mac. Now, if the app already has this capability, I'm just wondering why Litchi has not implemented the elevation compensation and added a Follow Mode. I chatted VTech by email and they said they have Follow on the list, but other modes are first. Here's what he said: >> Orbit came in first, then Panorama. Follow me was one of the last. We do want to add Follow Me at some point though, but it's not going to be the first one we add.
I love the layout and the simplicity of the App, much easier to understand than AutoPilot. I really like the ability to build a mission at home in your living room, then download it to your Tablet and fly it later. I also like the fact that each waypoint will compensate for elevation, and you can add Point Of View markers where you want the camera to train on.
I am going with Litchi and I'll wait patiently for the Follow mode on it.
What are your thoughts guys? I like the possibilities of the AutoPilot App also, but hey, at my age I don't want to spend a year learning how to use it.
