Firt mission with it this morning using Phantom 1.6 software. Worked perfectly!

Glad to see it on the iOS side of things.  Been using it on the Android side exclusively for flying.  A solid app.

Question, how do I adjust the camera settings in the iOS version? DO I set that up in the DJI GO app and then switch over to yours? I might have missed something.

Hi, Since you have used the Litchi app already maybe you can answer me 1 question. After the mission is uploaded, will the P3 auto take off, or do you have to launch the mission after the P3 is airborne? Thanks

Honestly, I have run exactly one mission and I ran mine after takeoff. I don't trust any apps to takeoff for me. Once the P3 was in the air, I hit the play button and away she went

I've been thinking about getting it. So far how does everyone like it?

If the rain holds off, I am going to get some more missions in tomorrow

In the other similar app (fpv camera) it's possible increase or decrease speed at specific waypoints, is in litchi available this option?

I think it is pretty solid, so.  It does what is advertised.  

any reason why not for P3 Standard?

Cheers

Is there a manual, tutorial or something else as a guide to use this app?

It isnt much, but it got me started

Yeah.. I've been hearing the android users rave about it. I think here in the next few days when I get time I will try it out

Thank you. After your earlier post I also looked for camera settings and did not find anything. I have not connected it to my aircraft as yet, but I also could not find a way to manually start the camera. I guess that is covered under the 'Auto Record' function.

Is it worth the $15.00?

Is it worth the $15.00?

"Worth" is a difficult word to assign. I thought it was worth it because I have been looking for a reliable way to setup waypoints offline from my couch. You might not need that so it might not seem worth it to you. I will say this: There are definitely some refinements that I will be looking for in the future. I would like tone able to control the camera better from inside the app itself, instead of having to do it in the DJI GO app ahead of time. If I am missing something, hopefully someone will point it out to me!

I have been waiting for litchi, was also considering autopilot or air nest. I Could get all 3, but I would rather not if I could get away with buying just one of them

Does the IOs version now support the VR function?

It is not supported by the DJI development kit yet. We don't know when it will be either.

Not yet, but we are hoping to add it at some point.

Camera settings are not part of the iOS app yet. You can use DJI Go to change them, for recording you can use the Auto record setting or the RC's hardware button.

To celebrate the year's end, we’re giving away $200 worth of Amazon Gift Cards!

To get one chance to win, head over to our new Mission Hub at https://flylitchi.com/hub (on a PC/Mac), create an awesome waypoint mission and save it to your account, then enter the giveaway by clicking on the “Enter giveaway” button. Link a relevant youtube/vimeo video to that mission and you’ll get 2 additional chances to win! The giveaway ends on January 10th, 2016 at 11:59PM UTC. For a quick tutorial on how to use the Mission Hub, watch this video: Full Giveaway rules at https://flylitchi.com/giveaway

When I'm home I want to fly to somewhere that is about 5,000' away but my bird will only go to about 3,300 away and then RTH so I don't get all that close.  If I set up a mission before hand in Litchi to fly to the 5,000' distance will my bird do that or will she still RTH at about 3,300'?

If it DOES happen to go to the 5,000' away then I assume I'd still get video of the entire trip but that I just wouldn't get live streaming of the trip.

I have ios if that matters with the P3A.

Even if the signal is lost, the mission will continue so yes it will go 5000ft away, unless it thinks it won't have enough battery to complete the mission in which case it will RTH. But 5000 ft is easily doable with full battery. Yes you'll get full video, the live stream may break though depending on area.

A few questions please... how soon before the Apple version matches the android version in features?... In comparison right now the apple version is very limited.

I have created a mission in Mission Hub. Downloaded the the mission and placed it in the Litchi directory on my Ipad mini with Itunes...However it does not show up in the Litchi app when trying to load missions... What am i doing wrong?

ps ...I also used IFunbox to move the file to the ipad and still no luck in seeing it.

We'll try our best to bring more features to iOS as soon as possible, but it will take time, especially with the Apple review system. No ETA yet for additional flight modes, we're currently working on improving the Mission Hub and adding auto sync.

For the mission, make sure you place it inside the "missions" folder, that's why you need to use ifunbox, as iTunes does not allow placing files inside subfolders.

Below is all I see when using iFunbox... no sub directory.

Try creating a mission first in the app, it will create the folder then. Otherwise you can create the folder "missions"

So if I understand correctly, Litchi default failsafe settings are:

Loss of rc signal - continue mission
Low battery - return to home

Are these settings reconfigurable?  For example can a loss of rc signal be changed to trigger a return to home instead of continuing the mission?

Will pressing the controller's RTH hardware button cause the mission to be aborted and the aircraft to return home?

Thanks.

In order: no and yes.

Release it for phantom 3 standard please !!!
does this app has an altitude limit like the DJI go app?

Is it just me or is the iOS version of Litchi missing a bunch of stuff that it has on Android??  
...

Yeah it is missing a bunch. I was told that iOS version is still a work in progress and they are working on getting the camera features in it. Right now I have been setting up the camera in DJI Go, closing it, then opening Litchi and running my mission. Pain in the ass, but it works for now.

That did the trick... now it is easy to plan a mission on the PC and transfer it to my Ipad mini 4 with iFunbox... Now for those missing features.

u flew mine 1.56 miles on Litchi.

What do you have your cruise speed and controller speed set at in the app?

Yeah I got a little bit confused after reading the help/instruction page  for the app.   It says to have your controller speed equal to or greater than your cruise speed. But by default the app has the cruise speed set higher than the controller speed.
