Having had the briefest of plays on DJI Fly (new mini) today I quite like the interface although I do miss the battery remaining indicator (and charge remaining to home etc).
I use Litchi mainly on my MP and was wondering what peoples views on the Fly App are, especially as I see the Air 2 is also going to be on the Fly version.
But then Iām used to years worth of GO3, GO4, Litchi, etc, so it was bit of a shocker seeing how cut down it was and how little ārealā control I had.
Then again, itās only a quick drone for quick flights using my phone, Iād never use it with a tablet or the CrystalSky anyway so realistically itās probably fine for itās intended use really
DJI finally releases a new SDK yesterday.
But it only included support for the new Matrice M300 and its various payloads
Which makes me wonder if an SDK for the Mini will ever materialise now
Probably not. But then again who would have put money on that they would have opened the mini up as they have?
They have made this little drone quite a litter monster really.
Heyup @milkmanchris
Yeah enjoyed meet-up.
Canāt speak for any other apps as MM my first āproperā drone so tbh got no comparison butā¦
Personally I like the DJI fly app.
Itās easy to use uncluttered and dare I say intuitive for the novice. As mentioned the experienced guys will no doubt miss the finer points of other apps, but Iām not missing what Iāve never had.
Mmmmm. Thanks to OP for flagging up lack of battery-life / remaining charge to Home in 'Fly. Although I try to fly according to conditions (as Iām sure we all do ), I think these are glaring omissions, central to a safe return, which have got me out of a pickle more than once . As the happy owner of an MA FlyMore (plus extra batts) using 'Go, good as the specs of MA2 seem, think Iāll stick with what I know & trust instead of āupgradingā as I had been consideringā¦just my tuppence-worth.
The only indicator now is āflight time remainingā (top right), its still dynamic like in GO and warns that you need to return to home with on screen prompts etc.
On the battery front, you donāt have the option to set critical percentages etc anymore
The above is good little guide, as I said originally I like the interface, but it as a very cut down version of GO, which I see as ok for my Ā£400 travel drone which Isnāt gonna venture miles and miles, perhaps not for an Air2 (Iād hang for Litchi support)
*Major thing missing for me on the mini is active track, but who knows, I think they might bring it in, they listened to manual video controls ;o)
Hi Chris
Yep, these FPV cams often mask the distances.
I did wonder if it had been grabbed from DJI site and was an advertising created image.
Cheers

Probably is now Iāve had a better look at it, 1018m from the home point (clearly visible), so I think youāre right and your bullshit call stands ;o)
