Yes I searched but didn’t find the answer. I have just started playing with waypoints and have done some test runs to se what happens. The controller shows it as recording from the moment you press go, and I plugged in the aircraft to the desktop to watch back the two short films I did using waypoi…

Had some interesting tests with this. I set up quite a tight sequence of waypoints in the garden to see what happened. I purposefully made them so that the drone had to navigate around things or over things to get to the next point, rather than take the most direct route. It produced interesting res…

Remember, by default, the course you plot will be converted into curves by the drone software. If you’re trying to do sharper turns or straighter lines, you’ll need to set extra waypoints to coerce the drone into following your plan. For example, if you plan to fly forwards, make a sharp 90 degree t…

I’m not sure what would happen if your waypoint route took the drone behind a building i.e. the drone would be out of sight and out of radio contact with the controller. It could crash, or decide it had lost contact and try to return home.

The controller works when the drone is behind a building :wink: RTH through signal loss would see it ascend, so that shouldn’t be an issue anyway - but this would all be close up stuff anyway, i.e me next to the building etc.

There’s some great footage out there of consumer drones circling large buildings on waypoint missions, but it would not comply with the drone code over here, even if there was a spotter on the other side of the building. In the UK, DJI have removed the “continue mission on signal loss” option in the…

Ok this needs further clarification - This isn’t to send it BVLOS. This is to perform single sided sequences for example, fly into the corner of a building whilst descending and panning down, then slowly pan to the right as it slows, then move sideways and rotate slightly to do a close up arc, befo…

Are the 360 drones going to kill all this off ? Still think Litchi is excellent and use it with my older kit, but the Antigravity and Avata3 (if it ever comes) look very cool

My personal view is drones will be killed off anyway over the coming years with more heavy regulation, lunacy rules and fear of being caught out the more intense it gets. I am already more and more adverse to flying owing to all the ongoing queries, 251g vs green lights at night vs look at controlle…

We’ve had these deja-vu chats for the last 10 years or so I have been flying. [image] Pirbright_Drone: look at controller don’t look at controller etc. Never really been a look at controller type, and its always been my style of flying to watch the drone, although like anyone I’ve flown furt…

Don’t forget that gps positional accuracy variation wanders from second to second and the position could be as much as 10ft (3m) out. It makes all the difference between missing a tree and being part of a tree! Hopefully object avoidance will cope but trees with no leaves don’t help.
