Great but I feel doing the same route would have been a better visual conclusion. It was a bit all over the place on the comparison videos and I feel no closer forward to choosing one from this test lol. You'd have been better doing the same for all 3 at the same corner and same in the tree area etc. It's confused me slightly more in what one to get lol.
@@DansTubeTV definitely mate. I'm not bashing you just maybe make it easier to get a better visual comparison between the 3. Dronelinks pretty expensive now so I feel Litchi has my vote being £21.
I have been considering one of these apps. I was leaning toward the dronelink for mapping and didn't know that it had the active track or follow me mode, so this was helpful. I'm going to have to take a closer look now. Thanks for this.
Awesome demonstration! I have only used Maven to create flight plans. Considering Dronelink now. Looks very dependable! I need it to work with my Mini 3 Pro though. I have both an N1 Controller and the RC Controller. I did not know that Maven could work with the Air 2s so I would expect it to work with the Mini 3 Pro and keeping an eye out for that! Still, I am attracted to Dronelink! Thanks again!
Dronelink is a great option, they do have support for the Mini 3 Pro. The waypoints seemed fine when I tested it: ruclips.net/video/rzx3xCk7bVk/видео.html
I think the MAVEN app signal is better than DJI software. Great for part automated shots ( orbit/cable cam) Really like it 👍 .... and i am using a iphone 6 plus !
Hi Dan, I have an issue with the follow me/track mode in Maven. When I drive my car and let the drone follow me, the drone moves from left to right constantly. Resulting in jittery footage. I have footage to show you if you’re interested. I fly a Dji Mini 2.
@@DansTubeTV Hi Dan, they replied to my message. They instructed me to increase the following distance between me & the drone. I will be trying it out soon, so I’ll let you know if it works :)
I have LItchi and am considering getting Drone Link. I have a project to do time lapse at a construction site and need very good way points to be repeatable for weekly flights. Which would you recommend?
Is maven or dronelink any better at keeping the subject centered in circling mode? Ive found litchi hopeless, it also has disconnect problems even 20 meters from the drone..
I have the Mini 2, and I always did fly it above obstacles. However, now that I have the Air2s, I want to use it to its full potential, which would be relying on its obstacle avoidance ability. Thanks for the reply. Never get a response from the majority of pages I comment on or have questions on.
I’m confused as to the difference between them. I’m running an iPhone and air 2S. Has there been an update that allows way point flying with the iPhone? Also, do all three allow you to follow your controller without the use of active track?
Dan, I fly an air s2, which software is the closet to DJI Terra software. I have a commercial licence and want to get into mapping and need to be familiar with the Rerra software which seems to be popular with the enterprise series of agriculture drones.
I asked maven on messenger about obstacle avoidance working on the air 2s inflow mode they showed me that as long as I was only doing 15 m a second which is pretty quick that it would work don’t know if I trust it LOL. Haven’t worked out how to do it with Dronelink yet I’ve been to preoccupied with thinking about the mini three I ordered. And haven’t really had the weather to go out and test drone link out properly.
i got litchi for the reason i live in a draconian no fly zone 10 miles from what the no fly zone is protecting. I wanted to explore my neighborhood. I have had Litchi freeze up twice in FPV mode , where my DJI Spark froze in the air. one time i was trying all the commands with the flight sticks. I also had the drone in sport mode. The only response the Spark responded to was UP . It started shooting up in the air and would not respond o any other commands. I pressed the go home and it stopped and i was able to land my Spark with one LED blinking on the battery. I also had the app freeze on my device where the camera feed was still working I was over a swamp and it said 55% battery left. I looked a minute latter and it still said 55% I knew something was wrong and I brought my Spark back one LED blinking Using Litchi waypoints had one right off the bat start fling to who knows where , had to take manual control, had several way points worked fine then 3 in a row that the drone started to fly who knows where and when i tried to manually hall them in they would freeze in the air with no response from the sticks. Had to wait for the battery to go below crucial and then they relinquished control. Litchi is like for the first issues, delete your cache ...seems to work, then for the other issues they say its the sun tricking the IR sensors LOL the sun was overhead AND never had that issue with DJI GO4 flew many times into the sun coming back from somewhere. They told me to turn off the IR sensors. I can't on the Spark. I really like Litchi the way points all that you can do...but as of now for me...i think Litchi has some issues
I use Litchi on my air 2s ad it has many great features not found on DJI. Caution test all this features in an open field! In the GPS follow mode i fly up to my altiude then engage follow me.
That’s the point, they all offer a similar experience. Dronelink has better mapping options and mission planning, Litchi has more freedom over the settings and Maven has some unique features that neither of them have. I would suggest Litchi or Dronelink to most people.
That’s exciting, it can be anxiety provoking for the first handful of flights ✈️ If you need anymore guidance and support with your drone then check out my drone course: www.fearlessdrone.academy 👈
So i tried litchi today everything was okay but when i went to land it it was returning home when i just wanted to land so after I canceled the return the home i could no longer control it it was just hovering i had to close app and use dji fly to land
Thanks Dan. I wonder if the success in continued tracking, (when hidden by trees) by the three 3rd party apps may in part be because of the low pushbike speed. I am looking to use my Air 2s to track at motorcycle off road speed. Perhaps a tall order do you think?? I am also aware of GPS dropout due to surrounding cover regardless of GPS receiver type.
I found that once I stopped using the phone and switched to a tripltek 8 pro then everything worked flawlessly, the litchi is great for really nice flowing smooth video appoint missions at high speed, but if you want precise repeatable photography and waypoints and well let’s say many more options like spiral climbs of a tower then Dronelink is unbeatable, I use it for work and it’s worth it, expensive in comparison but if your serious in making money then that is the way to go Unfortunately I have an official email back from DJI and they said they will not be releasing the mobile SDK for the Mavic 3 and Mini 3 Pro, this is a major bummer and I will not be buying another DJI drone because of it. So sad but that’s the way it goes.
Hey Dan! 👋 Watching this b/c I picked up a DJI refurbished Air 2S. It's indistinguishable from new. There's one possible problem. When I select subjects with a box for focus in selected in Focus Track or Course Lock Hyperlapse, as soon as I move or back away (a trick I do on Mavic 3 and Mini 3 Pro - the box disappears, instead of changing to a "location" symbol for a GPS point. Before I return it for exchange, I wonder if it's a recent FW bug. Can you check sometime if yours does this? Assuming you still have it, lol! Thanks if you can swing it..
@@DansTubeTV Dan - you are the best, I really needed confirmation. Yep - refreshed FW, calibrated compass, IMU even RC and RC-N1 and the OA Sensors. Not because I suspected them, but there's little else we can do - so my options are to get a replacement, or send it for warranty service. Wrote the seller, we will see what happens. Weird that everything else works perfectly.

Really wish Michele ported Maven to android too
Maven is the Shiz!! Absolutely love it and I'm on Android with the 'lite' version, still awesome and reliable. Dji Fly is the worst trash ever.
Yes! Maven has proven very reliable. I use it with my Air 2 but yearn for using it with my Mini 3 Pro but that may not happen. 😞
Hi Dan, I have an issue with the follow me/track mode in Maven.
When I drive my car and let the drone follow me, the drone moves from left to right constantly. Resulting in jittery footage. I have footage to show you if you’re interested.

Hmmm, that is weird. I would suggest sending the footage to the developer and asking them. I’m sure that they can help.
@@DansTubeTV Hi Dan, thank you for replying.
I already emailed them with the footage, but they don’t seem to respond to my email.
You might have to try again?
@@DansTubeTV I tried emailing them yesterday again but still no response unfortunately.

Is maven or dronelink any better at keeping the subject centered in circling mode? Ive found litchi hopeless, it also has disconnect problems even 20 meters from the drone..
I haven’t tested that scenario exactly so I can’t comment.
Nice video. But what about the obstacle avoidance during the follow me with these 3 apps? How does the air2s behave .....
I need to test that still. Does anyone else know the answer to this?
@@DansTubeTV Great ideas, and that would be a great test,
Any updates on that test?@@DansTubeTV
It will not bypass obstacles but the drone will stop if it senses an obstacle.
@@DansTubeTVexcellent info. Thank you
Awesome i cant download dj fly because my phone is old,but I down load maven lite, And yes works great ,thanks
If you go to DJI’s website and look for the DJI Fly app then you should be able to download the latest version.
I have the Litchi app, but I'm not as confident using it because I don't know how well if uses the sensors.
Make sure that you are flying above obstacles and you will be fine.
I have the Mini 2, and I always did fly it above obstacles. However, now that I have the Air2s, I want to use it to its full potential, which would be relying on its obstacle avoidance ability.

The 3 apps that I featured in this video open up more features for the Air 2S, you can use waypoints and following modes.
@@DansTubeTV sounds good, much appreciated

Do you have a litchi file for me to download?
You can search Google for Litchi and find their website that way.

10-4 thanks for the reply just got out with the dji se for the first time using the regular dji app plan on possibly using litchi to get more features

I believe that Litchi and the Air 2S will be able to do it with the Follow Me mode 📍
I have a dji mini 1 what app do u recommend would litchi be the best option for me ?
I would say so. I seem to prefer Litchi, but I also really enjoy the waypoint mission planner on Dronelink (desktop version).
@@DansTubeTV is that feature not available for the mini 1 in litchi?
Yes, you can plan waypoints but I prefer the waypoint planner on Dronelink.
ISs or Android? no info... which one is better, is there any difference?
They are very similar. I used iOS in this video.
Good video👌
Thank you! 🤝

Unfortunately I have an official email back from DJI and they said they will not be releasing the mobile SDK for the Mavic 3 and Mini 3 Pro, this is a major bummer and I will not be buying another DJI drone because of it. So sad but that’s the way it goes.
Great news about the software but terrible to hear that DJI will not be releasing the mobile SDK for the Mavic 3 or Mini 3 Pro.
Wow! That is interesting. I hope that DJI reconsider.
@@DansTubeTV yeah, that really sucks! They did it for the Air 2s though, why?
It seemed to me that Maven had a stutter or jitter to it.
Hmmm, it had a stutter with the screen recording but I didn’t notice that with the video recording.
Is it possible to change Mini 2 camera settings like Contrast, Saturation etc on the Maven app or is it possible only on Litchi app?
I don’t know about that sorry. Hopefully someone can answer that for us. I never tested it.
