Litchi - Relative to Ground Update!

[realsting]

Litchi have an update where all waypoints in the bulk-waypoint editor can have their altitudes set relative to the ground. Has anyone tried this yet with their P4? Is it reliable? Would be interesting to hear experiences.

I cannot find any official documentation on the feature..

Not yet but would be awesome if it worked

I tried setting "relative to ground" today using the Litchi app on my Android tablet. It's a lot easier and faster than the process of using Google Earth. Works great. Just have to make sure elevation for entire flight path will clear all obstacles.

That's pretty good news!

It works a treat, although I still have to factor in a cushion of 10 mtrs or so to make up for any variances with the google map and man made structures.

I agree with Tevek. With or without Terrain following / relative to ground, I always allow for a 10 meter cushion, I do not trust the barometric altitude measurements to resolve less than 3-10 meters on any given day. I also film in 4K and then render in 1080P which allows me to provide the illusion that I am much closer to the point of interest.
