Is it really worth the £500? I’ve only just got my drone, so shelling another £500 on top of the £1200 I’ve spent seems impossible at the moment, but would like to know if it is worth it.

I personally think its worth it. Its added positive value to my experience overall and simplified my ability to get into the air.

Only gripe is Litchi for me but im sure that’ll arrive at some point.

Can you not just install the Amazon App Store, then get Litch from them?

It’s how I did it on my CrystalSky, guessing it’s the same on your screen?

Or even just download the .apk and install it … I’d have thought.

I have the .apk for quite a few versions - including the latest.

The Android Litchi APK requires Google Play Services, hence needing to go this route Dave :+1:t2:

And, if you install Google Play Services from .apk?

Currently Litchi installs just fine, via Amazon but it doesnt connect to the drone. It simply doesnt see it. Apparently Litchi are waiting on DJI to release an SDK for Smart controller ?!!

Bit of bummer and I honestly didnt think it’d be an issue as its Android allbeit a stripped down version.

I think it might be a moot point for me, as i don’t think me Pro Platinum is compatible with the Smart Controller?
Also, whats Litchi please?

Correct.

An app that does the same as Go4 … but also brilliant for waypoint missions. Set the waypoints, set the POIs (points of interest), set the path and speed - and off it goes to film it all … very smoothly … or take pics … and a load more.

eg: Litchi mission - Felixstowe

… or this one that also has a screenshot of the setup in the app as well as the resulting video …
