What of buying litchi for my Osmo Plus, does this also guarantee good value for money? My main usage is to livestream with my osmo plus onto Facebook and YouTube. Since my DJI Go app connects endlessly to Facebook, and from what I read in forums, there is no clear fix to that.
Hello fellow Phantom 3 Standard captains. I recently decided to change up to Litchi from the DJI Go app, specifically because of the way-point programming capability. Using the Litchi Mission Hub website, I have saved a number of flight paths starting and ending at my home, with time duration ranging from 3 minutes to 21 minutes, though I have not actually flown any of those saved flights because thus far I am getting no video feed on my smart phone within the wifi signal's limited range.
My question is with respect to the distance and time limitation that is best applied to Litchi flight planning for the Phantom 3 Standard, whose nominal battery lifespan is specified as 25 minutes in the DJI website. Given the unpredictability of winds aloft, would it be best practice to limit any flight plans to say 15 minutes or less, to allow for the drone encountering head-winds or crosswinds on the return leg of the flight ?
Flying line of sight, I have rarely flown my Phantom3S for longer than 15 minutes per sortie, but I still wonder how close one can cut it for programmed flights, bearing in mind that the stated battery life of the Phantom 3S is 25 minutes, presumably on a day with moderate or gentle winds.
Any thoughts and opinions on this flight duration question for the P3S, would be much appreciated. |
