Brilliant - Probably the most comprehensive tutorial I have ever watched on any subject. I will watch your following tutorials once I have become familiar with the basic flying. Many thanks!
Hi buddy, thank you for such a precise Litchi intro, Looking forward to seeing future episodes, As a beginner I find your instructions easy to follow, thank yo again, kind regards Robert UK
I'll be damned! I had no idea the "C" and the "H" would do that! I thought it was for rescuing the P3S in case it went haywire! This is going to improve my videos a great deal! Thank you for making this video!!!
Thank you very much for getting this out there, if it wasn't for people like you, we'd all be scratching our heads trying to figure it out, I can't understand why the developer doesn't have a complete learning guide, it sucks trying to figure it out, I'm hoping the Android version isn't too different from the iOS version
My drone crashed and burned. Please send me your lawyer's contact information. Just kidding, great video and I'll be watching the rest of them now too. :)
This is by far the best and most comprehensive explanations of the CL and HL functions. Anyone who is learning about the Phantoms, I recommend smashing that subscribe and you will get the best info out there. Thanks for your time and effort putting these together. Greetings from Alaska!
Hey Husky, thank for these series - VERY USEFUL. I have a question. I don't seem to see the blue dot on my screen. The google map (right lower corner) of the screen. Is there a setting to turn that on? Thanks Jake
Thanks for the Video! Question: I have a Phantom 4 / Phantom 4 Controller. I do not have an "F" mode. I have a "P" "S" and "A" Mode. Does the "P" mode function for the Phantom 4 like the "F" mode on the Phantom 3 Pro??? I know what the Modes are, but I have no "F" mode.
P mode on the P4 is the same as P mode on the P3. Essentially this is your positioning mode, where it uses GPS and such to hold a steady position in the air. F mode is 'Function' mode on the Phantom 3, and it is how someone uses the intelligent flight modes on the P3 (orbit, follow me, etc.). It is likely that this was simplified for the P4 and you get to these functions by simply using the smart device display. As for the S and A mode, they are quite similar between the two models. A mode on the P3 shuts off GPS positioning and only uses auto-leveling and altitude hold. S mode on the P4 continues using the GPS positioning but instead shuts off the obstacle avoidance to fly at faster speeds. Hope this helped and thanks for watching.
Great vid my question how can I select home lock or course lock if I am in VR mode and the phone is inside the VR Google can switches be assigned from the controller.
Unfortunately I don't think it is possible to access these options in VR mode. The only way I know to gain access to the screen whilst using your smart device in a VR headset is mirroring using HDMI. Example: Connect Nvidia Shield tablet, use HDMI port to mirror to a set of FPV goggles. Even then I am not sure the full functionality of the drone is available whilst using FPV. :< Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this, do your lessons cover how to plan gps coordinetes and save them as missions on your computer first then deploy your drone later? I want to use litchi for other things to but the main thing is for hyperlapse I want to resume my hyperlapse in the exact same gps coordinete, gimble level and drone rotation from the last hyperlapse photo
First I want to say thank you for spending your time on the tutrals. But today I tried to run the leacth on the same Android device that I have DJI go4 on after I ran the go4 app. but I never could get it to connect even after I forced off my go4 app and know I have ever selected any app to be default. So what is wrong??? can you please help, by the way I have an Android tablet and a Mavic.
Got a question....using a P3 Pro and I-pad Mini2, cannot get VPS to come up in settings, aircraft??Any thoughts?Using latest Litchi version. Thank's John
Wish I could help and I do apologize for the delayed reply. Getting used to YouT's changes to the notification system. Unfortunately nothing I can think of as I have used an Ipad Mini 2 with my P3 Advanced and not had any issue.
I see that on previous versions you could screen record. I haven't been able to screen record. Did they removed this feature or I'm I missing something.
Are you on iOS? If memory serves correct (and I could be wrong), that feature is only available to iOS devices. I will forewarn you when I tried it on my ipad mini 2 it made the FPV feed lag severely and reduced the operating range of the quad a great deal.
Not sure what you are referencing but compass should take care of that. As far as I know there is no 'Calibration' for the GPS system. Correctly done compass and flight controller calibrations should be more than sufficient. Thanks for watching.
Yes. I believe it has settings for lost signal behavior as with the regular app. However it will NOT do so in an unfinished way point mission. The quad will run through the entirety of your way point mission before checking for signal loss.
I think you need to use the hardware button on the controller. I assume it shows something up for Phantom 3 Standards but truth be told I don't have one to test.
Yah I think we have to wait for that button to appear :) meanwhile have to use that hardware button you suggested. It is helpful. Usually after completing certain shoot, we call back our bird using that button (usually on the screen).
As far as I know it has the same capabilities as the default DJI Go app when it comes to obstacle avoidance. So the obstacle avoidance sensors are going to act as they would if you were flying the drone through DJI Go. I don't think it adds MORE capability to them but you don't lose any either.
theres no landing option? what to you press to make it land....or do you land it on your own? i want litchi but not gonna bother if you cant land it when you want....someone told me it does hard landings, as to dji go app does nice and easy/soft landings. am i missing something?
There is no landing button, although this might vary depending on what drone you are connected with. I generally always land manually myself, so it never proved an issue for me.
so when you land yourself, is it a hard landing and skips till it realizes its on the ground?? im used to dji go where it does a nice and soft landing....explain the procedure if you would. you just hold the joystick down till it (hopefully) lightly touches the ground and it knows to stay there? ive got the p3s
Apologies for the late reply but Wes is correct. For the Phantom 3 series you can manually land yourself, although perhaps you've mastered that skill by this point! Anyways, it can be a little sketchy at first; but if you pick good, flat landing spots and are patient then it isn't difficult. Once the skids are down hold down on throttle and motors will turn off.
the plastic feet you clip on to your landing gear actually work. You can get them on EBay (£3.00 ones are the same as the £25 ones as far as I can tell, they are what I have anyway)
Keeping in mind I have been out of the loop for this for a long time - that was never a necessity when I used it. Can have both installed on the same device.
I am not certain how you'd fly without the RC anyways unless you own a Mavic Pro, but I believe with Litchi you must use the RTH button on the RC. Thanks for watching!
Hello, I noticed the screen had lots of lag... does that happen when using the app or just because you were screen recording? I have a p3s and have an arg tech antenna mod, would that help the lag? Thanks a lot
You're going to get break up with the FPV. But it is never a huge issue. The app definitely didn't help and likely made things worse. But outside of the occasional refresh on the screen it has never been bad enough to be distracting or hindering. This is of course assuming you pay attention to the signal indicator. Flying outside of the drone's range will of course make it worse.
I will test this out for you, but I do not believe so. Your device simply needs GPS and it was my impression that that was all Follow Me used but I could be incorrect.
Phantom should not be landed off in the Terrain kind of surface as I can see gravels than can damage camera along with gimbal! Bdw nice explanatory video
Landing options are fairly limited here and you're right! It can kick up dust and such although I never experienced any issues with my P3 (fortunately). Thanks for watching.
If both are android or ios then you should be able to use your google/apple account to recover the app. If they are different operating systems then need to rebuy.
First part of your video is black, no problems your audio is working , no one explain how you control the screen whenever you please the android in goggle , are you using remote pad?
The video not being present was the issue. As to your question, I am uncertain if there is a way to accomplish this! The only way I would think is to use a tablet with mini-HDMI (as the Nvidia Shield) and mirror it to a pair of FPV goggles. Then you could use the tablet to control it. As for me, I bought one of those cheap VR headsets and slid my phone in the one time I tried FPV. I had to ensure everything was setup prior to take off because I couldn't do much past slipping the goggles on. Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Litchi app is experiencing crash with runtime exception error on Android 12. Litchi support is unresponsive. Please do not buy the app until it is fixed.
Maybe something in the RTH settings? I am sure you've checked that. Outside of it I am unsure. Mine has always behaved as I set into Litchi, and I have never owned an Inspire.
This has very little to do with the application, and more with the GPS stability/compass calibration of the drone in the area it is flying. You will get mostly different results when traveling from areas of low interference to high interference, and the area this was shot in was the latter. There are assistants to this of course, such as the Vision Positioning System. But the VPSes on the old P3s were not nearly as effective as those on newer DJI models.
I like your vids but did you really think that someone would try to hold you liable for something that you said as you stated in your disclaimer ? Dude you’re a yt uploaded so come on! Let’s. not think too much of ourselves here. Lol you know what I mean! I hope?
Well I certainly didn't think I'd be legally liable in any case, but let's be real.. People are pretty crazy these days and like trying to start trouble. So it's less thinking a lot of myself and just safe guarding in the hopes of deterring the crazies before they say anything.
Brilliant - Probably the most comprehensive tutorial I have ever watched on any subject. I will watch your following tutorials once I have become familiar with the basic flying. Many thanks!
Thank YOU for the kind words and taking the time to watch.
One of the best instructional videos I have seen! Thanks for taking the time.
Excellent! Litchi should compensate you for such great tutorials. Very thorough and easy to follow. Thank you for putting these together.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the kind words.
Great tutorial, and thank you for calling it a quad!
Hi buddy, thank you for such a precise Litchi intro, Looking forward to seeing future episodes, As a beginner I find your instructions easy to follow, thank yo again, kind regards Robert UK
Great tutorial and I look forward to going through the series.
Apologies for the late reply Steve but glad it helped. Currently back to working on more (after a far too long hiatus).
I like your litchi presentation and learned a lot from them, thankyou for doing them.
Thanks much for the kind words and taking the time to watch.
wow! By far the best Litchi review ! made it way easyer by adding the blue arrow! thanks a lot!
Thank you Mats for the kind words and thanks for watching.
Great detailed video. Looking forward to the others in your series. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your Time. You've helped me with somethings I've been trying to figure out. I seem to never have my manual with me when I need it lol.
I know the feeling and no problems at all. Thank you for watching!
I'll be damned! I had no idea the "C" and the "H" would do that! I thought it was for rescuing the P3S in case it went haywire!

They are very similar and thanks for the kind words and taking the time to watch. I am happy it helped.
Excellent tutorial. Will watch the others. I have the M2P and still deciding whether to buy Litchi or stick with Go4, so all help is much appreciated.
Thanks for the detailed description. Just what I needed. I'll go and take your other lessons now.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and the kind words. :)
My drone crashed and burned. Please send me your lawyer's contact information. Just kidding, great video and I'll be watching the rest of them now too. :)
thanks for the info, just downloaded Litchi but havent used it yet with my spark, must have a look at some more of your tutorials
thanks man! appreciate you doing this tutorial series! 👍
Thank you very much for taking the time to watch.
Very useful summary. Thank you.

I have the phantom 3 standard and can find the return to home button on litchi
Walter Jones, you have to toggle the left switch on your controller a couple times to initiate RTH
Push button with the H on it lol
Great presentation thank you
Thank you very useful information
Apologies for the late reply but thanks for taking the time to watch. :)
How do you get the drone to pair though???
First I want to say thank you for spending your time on the tutrals. But today I tried to run the leacth on the same Android device that I have DJI go4 on after I ran the go4 app. but I never could get it to connect even after I forced off my go4 app and know I have ever selected any app to be default.

thanks I'll try that.

Wish I could help and I do apologize for the delayed reply. Getting used to YouT's changes to the notification system. Unfortunately nothing I can think of as I have used an Ipad Mini 2 with my P3 Advanced and not had any issue.
Thank's for your response, Litchi sez it is for Mavic and P4 only.
Does litchi not have wind warning?
Thank YOU!
Thank you for taking the time to watch.
I see that on previous versions you could screen record. I haven't been able to screen record. Did they removed this feature or I'm I missing something.

Husky-Flies I'm using Android. No wonder, I didn't know that. Thank you.
HI Husky! Good video! How change (move) mission to different location (GPS) ? Thank you
Android/ Mavic pro
I'm not sure what you mean, to be honest. You can't move a mission from one point to another if that's what you are asking.
How in Litchi move one mission to other location on Android?
GOOD SHIT MANY THANKS.
DBM. ENGLAND.
If you are using the litchi app, can you still use the functionalities of the remote on p3 standard?
Yes you can! Thanks for watching!
Tnx dude.
Thanks for watching!
What about calibration for Return To Home?
Not sure what you are referencing but compass should take care of that. As far as I know there is no 'Calibration' for the GPS system. Correctly done compass and flight controller calibrations should be more than sufficient. Thanks for watching.
AWESOME!!!
Thanks so much
does this app makes the drone return to home if we lose connection while flying fpv
Yes. I believe it has settings for lost signal behavior as with the regular app. However it will NOT do so in an unfinished way point mission. The quad will run through the entirety of your way point mission before checking for signal loss.
Where is the RTH button? in Dji Go it usually resides on the left screen.
I think you need to use the hardware button on the controller. I assume it shows something up for Phantom 3 Standards but truth be told I don't have one to test.
Yah I think we have to wait for that button to appear :) meanwhile have to use that hardware button you suggested. It is helpful. Usually after completing certain shoot, we call back our bird using that button (usually on the screen).
will opstacle avoidance work with this app????
Yes it does.
in all settings? DJI P4Pro?

Yeah you can just slowly hold down on the stick until it comes to rest on the ground. Pull a hard down to shut off the motors once on the ground.
Apologies for the late reply but Wes is correct. For the Phantom 3 series you can manually land yourself, although perhaps you've mastered that skill by this point! Anyways, it can be a little sketchy at first; but if you pick good, flat landing spots and are patient then it isn't difficult. Once the skids are down hold down on throttle and motors will turn off.
the plastic feet you clip on to your landing gear actually work. You can get them on EBay (£3.00 ones are the same as the £25 ones as far as I can tell, they are what I have anyway)
is it really necessary to uninstall the original dji app the drone is using before installing litchi app?
Keeping in mind I have been out of the loop for this for a long time - that was never a necessity when I used it. Can have both installed on the same device.
Course Lock and Home Lock button do not show up on my screen ?
Is there a RTH button on the screen? or just use the RC but that means must keep the RC with you at all times.
I am not certain how you'd fly without the RC anyways unless you own a Mavic Pro, but I believe with Litchi you must use the RTH button on the RC. Thanks for watching!
is there a new app for litchi?
Hi How about on my PHANTOM 4ADVANCED?it has P.S.A switch
Hello, I noticed the screen had lots of lag... does that happen when using the app or just because you were screen recording? I have a p3s and have an arg tech antenna mod, would that help the lag? Thanks a lot

Flying outside of the drone's range will of course make it worse.
Τhe Litchi, works with Parrot Disco?
does Litchi still require a data plan to use the follow me mode, just like the Dji GO app? or will it work without wifi or data?
I will test this out for you, but I do not believe so. Your device simply needs GPS and it was my impression that that was all Follow Me used but I could be incorrect.
Phantom should not be landed off in the Terrain kind of surface as I can see gravels than can damage camera along with gimbal!

what part of nc you in located in am in Raleigh nc
Just outside of Winston-Salem here. Thanks for watching.
I am in Greensboro.
If you change your phone device, can you download Litchy with no cost?
If both are android or ios then you should be able to use your google/apple account to recover the app. If they are different operating systems then need to rebuy.
@@Sanuske4 great! thank you
how do u playback video or see pics,, there isn't a playback on the screen
I don't think this is supported within Litchi, but if it were I'd imagine it would require one of the controllers with a playback button.
Where is ablum to view the picture and videos??
First part of your video is black, no problems your audio is working , no one explain how you control the screen whenever you please the android in goggle , are you using remote pad?

Wot about FPV on a headset?
That looks like Oregon
North Carolina actually. :) Thanks for watching!
Well I have a PHANTOM 4ADVANCED and it doesn't have F switch...it has PSA
Dis you paid for this app or is this the free one?
I believe it is 20$. Thanks for watching.
thank you
Litchi app is experiencing crash with runtime exception error on Android 12. Litchi support is unresponsive. Please do not buy the app until it is fixed.
When I press Return to Home, my Inspire 1 Pro just lands, even when far away from my controller. How can I make it to return home and not just land???
Maybe something in the RTH settings? I am sure you've checked that. Outside of it I am unsure. Mine has always behaved as I set into Litchi, and I have never owned an Inspire.
and the rest?
wow. rth way off from home point, not like dji go app at all.
This has very little to do with the application, and more with the GPS stability/compass calibration of the drone in the area it is flying.

I love my android... Thanks for watching!
damn dude thanks, but you talk so much and so slow, get to the point
Thanks for these videos.
