I enjoy my P3P because there is so much to learn and explore. Now the time has come to try Litchi so I downloaded the app to play with while I read more about it.
Waypoints sound cool because you can send it on a mission, fly lower than normal around hills and dense trees because the mission will continue even if you lose contact with the remote and set it to RTH when the mission is finished. So far, so good.
Now I have read about Orbit mode and I am a little dissapointed. I am using Litchi for IOS. According to what I read, if you lose contact with the remote it will continue to orbit until it reaches the battery failsafe. But instead of RTH, it will land even if RTH is set. This is not a good thing. I can do orbits with the GO app. The advantage of Litchi would be setting up the orbit in advance so I don't have to waste battery time AND being at a lower altitude which gives more interesting video. So Orbit mode is basically a recipe for a crash because you can never guarantee constant contact between the drone and the remote. If you are flying over water, which makes for more interesting video, then you have an even worse problem.
Is my understanding of the Orbit mode correct? Does anyone have any suggestions for getting the most out of Litchi?
Any help would be appreciated.
