Many have commented on my attitude in this video. While I really don't care much about what others think of me, I do care about helping folks. So to help y'all out, I made a new vid. Thanks for watching!

Hey Mate
I have a phantom 3 standard and been flying it and my race quads for a long time now but never tried litchi....quick question when running litchi on my Galaxy s7 edge is it important to Force stop the Go App???? And vice versa when running Go app
Thanks
craig dixon Yes, ALWAYS FORCE STOP the GO app and vice versa when using Android. Thank you for asking, I totally forgot to mention it in the vid.
The first time you open the Litchi app don't worry about force stopping GO, Litchi needs to verify itself with the DJI servers. After verification is complete and you finish going through the settings, turn the phantom & controller off, close the apps, force stop GO, then turn everything on as normal and open Litchi. Should be good to go.
Thanks again for asking, that was an excellent question.
ZNoble Thanks for the quick answer ...Have you noticed that Dji go app now forces you to upgrade...Just noticed this morning my ver 3.1.1 wants me to upgrade to 3.1.3 and I can't do anything till I do....Urrggh
+craig dixon yeah, it's a little annoying. I'm running mine with a Wi-Fi-only nvidia tablet so I'll get those notices when/if it connects to the internet. I have no landline internet or wifi at the house so it's really not affecting mine, but I still have both apps on my phone and I have noticed the update notification windows popping up on my screen. Its weird for sure.
ZNoble Sorry mate ...1 last question...So are you saying I should turn on litchi for the first time and connect to my standard as normal and run through the settings in litchi without force closing The Go App....And then from there whenever I use litchi or go app I must force close one app before using the other?????
Thanks
craig dixon correct
Thank you ZNoble for one of the best videos on Litchi. I've used Litchi from the get go with my first Phantom.
Charlie Phantoms Thanks. I know I sound a little rude in it but I had made this after seeing many "litchi crash" videos, 99% of which were totally avoidable. It really does boil down to common sense when using anything new, especially when setting up something as risky as autonomous flights.
Not rude at all. I will watch this again. I have two pilot error Litchi missions posted on RUclips. 1st video Phantom 3 Std on 14 minute mission hit brush, flipped upside down but made it home unmarked. 2nd video is Phantom 4 on 16 minute Litchi mission with a waypoint set 15 ft. below ground level ,OUCH!!. Obstacle avoidance prevented a crash but the quad arrived home 4 1/2 minutes late. The December 2016 update added the "relative to ground" mode to set waypoint altitudes in the batch waypoint editor.
One important point flying in uneven terrain. If you say, set it to 100 ft. RTG for all way points it will be 100 ft. RTG at those waypoints but not necessarily between the waypoints. If the ground elevations changes between the waypoints then that could be a problem. The drone will increase / decrease the elevation at a constant rate between waypoints. This might be obvious but if people are not aware of it they could get into trouble. That was the problem with the Phantom 3. The terrain did not drop at a constant rate but the aircraft did.
Charlie Phantoms right on. Around here the terrain is pretty flat so educated guessing and double checking makes it easy to pull off. That and close waypoint spacing. Back when the laws were a little murkier I tried a few long distance missions and terrain did come into play. That's were setting up the missions on a pc with elevation change is better. I'm in a rural area with no internet available so I'm stuck with what I have for the time being.
Thanks for the time making these vids! great help buddy :)
you asked, why "hover" is even an option in case of lost signal. imagine a scenario when you're shooting something indoors and drop your remote. the aircaft will temporarily lose connection and then will shoot straight up into the ceiling attempting to return to home.
Alex K I could understand that being useful in indoor testing situations. But for the rest (most) of people using this app, RTH would definitely be the preferred setting. Why do you think DJI Go comes with RTH as default?
nice thanks for waypoint vids i will now try litchi w my MavicPro. BTW 98ft is the standard 30meters (good all round "standard" distance to avoid urban trees/home/poles) but yes like you said check the areas around u if u in rural area u may have bigger trees
Luke Roman Right on
top tuition
Thanks for the tutorial. I don't see hardly any of these settings on my Litchi app. Do I need to be connected to the RC and the mavic turned on to be able to see all these menus? I can't do it offline?
Anna Ferguson Yes. Some settings will allow for adjustments but won't save them unless the drone is connected. There might even be some settings that don't show up at all without the drone/controller connected. So its best to have your mavic connected while configuring the main settings like go home/maximum altitude, video format, and maximum location accuracy. Are you using an Apple or Android device?
Apple as I read too much neg feedback on Android on the forums. Yet to do a Litchi mission as I got a Downward Vision Sensor Calibration Error yesterday :( but dying to try this out Litchi and your tutorials are a great help. Thank you!
Anna Ferguson Ok, all my vids are the android version so there will definitely be differences. Did you get that error while in flight?
Litchi install on ipad mini 2 CHIP A5, as i have phanton 4 and it only accept ipad mini 2 with CHIP A7 to use DJI GO 4.
Adriano Beackman right on, this is the Android version.
IOS
IOS
So when I set it to “hover” after I lose signal, then what? I gotta go look for it? Idk about that. Not after the my last bear attack. Not until I at least heal
wckdclwn911 yeah, hover is a goofy setting to have as default. You can always go to the general tab in the settings menu and select "find my aircraft" if the drone is missing. That will show you it's last recorded coordinates.
hey dude,
can you run through what your process is for getting recorded video from the phantom all the way to editing and uploading? much appreciated.
mterry3788 Sure, pop the sd card out of the phantom, insert sd into tablet, edit footage, export rendered footage to sd, insert sd into cell phone, upload to RUclips through the RUclips app. **Make sure your upload settings in the RUclips app are correct before uploading the vid**
mterry3788 Are you having trouble with something?
ZNoble yea I can find and get the video. just none of my devices smoothly plays the 4k video
+mterry3788 what mobile devices are you using?
mterry3788 If the devices you're using don't have 4k displays it won't play correctly, it'll auto crop down to a resolution that it can play (my tablet does this), or it won't play all. Next thing it could be is the micro sd you're using doesn't have a fast enough read/write speed to handle 4k.
Hi Sir wow a great instructional videos for when I install it on my Samsung S7
Altitude limit is not as straightforward as you make it seem I live in a mountainous area and if you set this to no more than 400 feet that's 400 feet above where you took off I cannot find a setting that will adjust for ground level so I leave this setting at maximum
Tepee Tim there's no such setting. Neither the app or your drone knows the topography of the area it's flying in.. maybe within 5-10 years drones will be that advanced but as of now you will have to set your altitudes manually. There is another method of drawing out waypoint flight paths using Google earth and a desktop pc. That method does follow terrain topography and there are a few good instructional videos on how to do it.
OK Z noble no need to be a wise ass apparently you didn't read the directions because you can change altitude from above home or above ground once you've made waypoints selecting The batch tool and then changing altitude from home to ground .
Tepee Tim I wasn't trying to be rude. I think I know what you're saying now.. [EXAMPLE] You're taking off halfway up a 800' tall mountain, you want to fly above the summit which is 400' above the take off point. You would have to set your altitude limit to 800' if you wanted to fly 400' above the summit. You're absolutely correct, the altitude limit would have to be set higher than 400'. Is that what you mean?
Tepee Tim You have it right. Use the Batch Edit. When you select the Relative to Ground option. Litchi will automatically calculate the correct waypoint altitudes given the ground elevation at each waypoint, using the ground elevation at waypoint 1 as the reference. For the best results and because waypoint 1 is used as a reference, it is strongly advised to place waypoint 1 in a location close to where the drone will take off (i.e. similar ground elevation). This option requires internet as it uses the google elevation data which is only available online. After the changes are made and the mission saved you can fly it without internet. I fly in mountainous terrain so I use this feature for almost every mission.
ZNoble, is data/Internet required to do the missions?
Earthling01 It's not required to execute the mission but it's pretty much essential to setup the mission. I use the Nvidia Shield tablet (wifi only) for all my flights now. Mission setup is done using my phone. Once the mission is saved I can move the file via sd card from the phone to the tablet.
Earthling01 here's how I do it.. ruclips.net/video/X5ISxEHKQGA/видео.html
ZNoble, Thank you very much... When my phantom arrives, I will purchase litchi app. You're one of my mentors now.. thanks
Earthling01 right on. Just take your time, use that thing sitting on top your shoulders and you should be fine. If you have more questions in the future feel free to hit me up.
nice video thumbs up
Hey mate...
My latest litchi settings in camera setup doest have the return to hime cant find it ehen i was following your tutorial. CHEERS JAY
Jerry Spiteri They have updated the app since I made this vid. A few things are different now.
ZNoble Pk cool thanks. i do have the new update too. Cheers Jay thankyou.
Jerry Spiteri I did see another youtuber who just turns the controller off to activate RTH. That's always an option but I don't recommend it. I haven't used RTH since the very beginning using the GO app.
mine says v4.0.1
is your litchi app on android
Michael Carter yes
thought so im on ios setting was different great video and thanks for the link for the manual
Michael Carter right on man. Yeah sorry for not having a video on the iOS version. The only Apple product I own is an iPhone 4 so that wouldn't be very helpful to you guys anyways.
its been a help got the link for the manual that you had thats a big help :)
well ive gone from flying xiro xplorers to dji p3s
It would have been better if you did not sound so annoyed
mark Habinowski I know. I will be making an updated version of this video very soon.
+mark Habinowski ruclips.net/video/hai4u5H4NKw/видео.html
"Common sense people." You sound angry in this video.
Jamie Mink lol, I know. You should have heard the unedited version. Just blows my mind how people can go spend all kinds of cash on these things and not read the first sentence of an owners manual, then come complaining to me that they lost their Phantom. Yes, I'm rude and drive home the point of common sense to ad nauseam but it's just so folks will remember to stop and think about everything before they set off.
98 feet is a nice round 30 meters.
+Paths Less Trampled very good point.
