Most of you may know that Litchi is supported on Mavic mini I was just wondering if the support for the Mavic mini works on iPhone I know the Litchi app allows you to do it on android with the Mavic mini but does it work with iPhone?

Yes you can apply to test (and therefore download) the app for iPhone, but be warned they still have a lot to do on the IOS version. I've been testing it fo a week so far not had one really successful track yet

I’m testing the iOS Litchi Beta and it does work in some modes. Track works which can track you via the phone processing the live image. You need a fairly new phone for it to work well (I’m using a iPhone XR). It can also orbit while tracking. Also the Pano works well shooting 360 panoramas and stitching them together right in the app. The Way points don’t work in Litchi  or the follow mode which can track your phones GPS on the Android Litchi Beta. They say it’s coming to iOS? Not sure we’ll get waypoints though because Litchi uploads the waypoint to the drone and it flys the mission autonomously even if the controller gets disconnected. But the Mavic Mini isn’t capable of downloading the waypoints. Drone Link let’s you do waypoints on the Mini but it uses the phone to calculate the waypoints GPS and uses virtual stick commands to control the drone in real-time via the controller. I’ve been using DroneLink too and it works quite well. There’s a bit of a learning curve but it can do very complicated waypoint missions with waypoints, orbits, points of interest and more. The release of this SDK has really made the Mavic Mini much more capable drone. It can almost do everything my Mavic Pro can do now minus obstacle avoidance, 4K and Raw.

Does it support setting circle mode in loop? If so, how can I apply for beta? Thank you!

Hi. Thank you for reaching out to DJI Forum. With regards to using a third party application for the DJI Mavic Mini. Since the Litchi application has not been tested by our DJI R&D team, it may work but we cannot guarantee the stability and compatibility of the said application during flight. Kindly please use the recommended application which is the DJI Fly to ensure stability and compatibility during flight. Thank you.

Hi DJI Paladin, maybe if DJI added Spotlight and panoramic modes customers would not have to rely on 3rd party apps unlock theirs Mini
