The 3PS will probably benefit from Litchi more than the others. By that I mean you are limited with your standard as far as signal with the WiFi. when lost it triggers a RTH. I have several pilots using Litchi with their standard drones, and they are able to program a mission that will go where they were never able to go before. You are only limited to your battery power, so you do have to keep that in mind. But regardless of the signal, your phantom will continue the mission. Quite amazing actually. Especially when you lose signal and then to see your bird returning. It is kind of a rush not knowing where it is, but having then to look at the footage (assuming you are recording the entire mission) it really cool. I have a P3A, and though the Lightbridge technology is much better than WiFi, I have programmed mine phantom to go over hilltops, etc. drop in altitude, and virtually go places I couldn't get to before. Of course you need to know the area you are flying in, but Litchi is just fantastic. Have fun. As far as the price............don't know what it is right now, but I think herein the US it is $25. I mean you can spend this on a case of beer or going thru a fast food joint..........it is mere peanuts in my book compared to what most of us have invested anyway. I understand $25 dollars in nothing to sneeze at, but it is not much money to have an additional tool for your drone, that can do so much for you.
Thanks Ricardo,
I look forward to experimenting with the Litchi app.
Slow steps forward for me, I just got use to flying in Atti mode, to be sure I know what to do before I panic. |
