DJI Mavic Pro / ORBIT MODE Using Litchi (Tutorial)

[@stevenshackelford1937]

Great demo... it helps a lot to actually see you do it from beginning to end. TY for sharing.

[@geoffreymee7671]

I like your explanatory style Dylan. A pleasure to watch and learn. Thx

[@giotto4321]

Very useful tutorial, thanks.

[@garycrooks6711]

Dylan, you are the best. Please give us more tutorials using the Litchi app.

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Dylan, great second educational video with the Litchi App, Thank You!

[@BF1GUN]

Thanks Dylan. Another very helpful and clearly explained tutorial.

[@PhillyDroneLife]

Hey buddy, I've been thinking hard about getting the litchi app, but I'm still up in the air. However, this video may have sold me? It's so cool that you can set up the mission from home then go out and start it. Cool! I'm waiting to see your tutorial on litchie before I pull the trigger. Hey, thanks so much for your videos. Michael

[@enchodus]

Thanks for the tutorial, litchi is such a nice app!!!

[@adidutta2317]

Great tutorial man! Happy to see your channel doing well. Keep it up. And please keep the mavic videos coming!

[@deeyung]

Aditya Dutta Thanks for the kind words!

[@johnk12345100]

I know this is an older video but I was wondering why you took over and manually centered once you initiated the orbit. I would have liked to see if it would have centered it with the settings that you had in it instead of you having to manually take over and do it yourself. Is that always the case it doesn't Center it on its own? Good video thanks

[@blcsfo]

Dylan. Great video on Litchi. Looking forward to more Litchi videos from you. I’ve created 15 videos and look forward to using Litchi app for future videos.

[@NTR-OTC]

Can I mark my start point from where I plan to start? Google's version is wrong so can I take off, find my center then mark the start point in the field?

[@electric-rider]

Thank you Dylan. Very interesting tutorial. I'll try it soon ;-)

[@derekpask3633]

Great tutorial, than you.

[@Instant_Nerf]

Thanks for the tutorial. Would the drone be able to find the altitude and the orbit if you already have the drone up in the air? Or does it have to start from the ground?

[@William.Frazier]

Hey Dylan, nice tutorial! Thanks for posting. Just wanted to say that I can set speed of revolution setting up Orbit mission in Litchi while disconnected from drone. Not sure why you are not able to? Did you both try sliding button and tapping “+” as well? Just wanted to throw that out there.

[@deeyung]

Billy! Frazier Hey Billy! Yes sir, I did try both! It was very weird that I couldn’t set the speed without the drone connected. As I said in the video, I just assumed it was because it wasn’t connected to the drone, therefore not knowing the speed capabilities of the drone? It’s very strange that you can change it when it’s not connected! The real question is... why doesn’t DJI allow you to preprogram like this?

[@William.Frazier]

Dylan... In my opinion, DJI keeps flight control on a more “amateur” or “user friendly” level within the DJI Go app and why they won’t let you preplan missions such as Litchi does. As you stated, people really need to become familiar with flying a drone and use of the DJI Go app before moving over to using a more advanced 3rd party app such as Litchi, Autopilot, etc. Also, I wanted to mention that when running orbit missions in Litchi that if there is a loss of communication with the drone (LCMC), the drone will continue running the orbit until you’re either able to reconnect or run down to critical battery level where the drone would auto land at its current location. Someone just needs to be cautious when doing an orbit mission. In short, don’t fly your drone off to run an orbit mission a distance where loss of communication with the drone is possible. You could find yourself in a bit of a mess. :)

[@movimox]

Super Litchi tutorials ! May I ask how low you can parameter the drone to fly and the smalest radius you can select when doing Orbit mode ?

[@Osvaldo_Oz]

outstanding! Thank You. liked, subscribed and hit notify.

[@tlmartinsr]

Do you have a tutorial yet about using Litchi with Mavic 2 Pro? I saw a notification that said the litchi app is now compatible with Mavic 2 Pro /Zoom.

[@MJamMan]

So when I want to stop the mission I hit the left side stop sign? Then will the return home option appear? Also must the drone be in the air before I start the saved orbit mission?

[@maxv77]

Can you not fix the camera to centre on the tower like a POI in the weypoints missions. Or do you have to tip the camera down manually each time?

[@sebastiennunes5338]

Thanks for this tutorial. I don't really see how to use Missions, the frame you setup when programming the mission is quite random. Any advice about how to evaluate your frame while creating the mission?

[@mikeg1785]

Hi Dylan cant find anything online but just tried the orbit and all set up, clicked on start, voice comes on ORBIT STOPPED. Landed turned everything off, tried again and same thing. Do you know what the problem is ? Thanks

[@YubiGeek]

La vidéo est superbe !!

[@SuperDave21]

Awesome Dylan...!!

[@deeyung]

SuperDave21 Thanks Dave!

[@MoistDreams]

Question, what happens if you have the height too low does it go higher or does it just fly into a building? What's the fastest way to regain control can I just two the stop button on my controller I purchased the app though it looks really handy for some simpler orbit like waypoint shots

[@kimfyffe2dronevideos74]

How do you get this page on the computer all I have is for waypoints to do this only on my phone ?

[@thegman7523]

nice! this is a must buy it looks like. $22 isn't bad

[@andrewap77]

Dylan, i have been learning allot about useing Litchi Waypoints from watching your tutorials, and i do use them. But what is the best way to determine the height of a POI in relation to the Drones altitude and distance from the POI? Thanks.

[@bish799]

you would be better off using gimbal pitch, rather than POI height, i will be uploading a video this weekend on Litchi waypoints with multiple POI and altitude and, gimbal pitch and speed.

[@toolowbrow]

Cool!

[@muzikmon2267]

Litchi ? Is that better than the original app.. Also I'm pretty sure if you don't use the DJI Go app if something goes wrong they won't cover the warranty or DJI refresh if I'm not mistaken....

[@prringa6099]

1. Definitely. 2. Not true.

[@trevorterpend5393]

you are the fckn best !!!

[@BF1GUN]

5:22 Appears this is a bug which has been addressed in an update that I have been alerted to today (IOS) although your original assumption made perfect sense.

[@StanCook]

Nice as usual. BTW Litchi is an oriental fruit and it is pronounced like Leetchee.

[@MartinWillett]

Lychee is the sole member of the genus Litchi in the soapberry family, Sapindaceae. It is a tropical tree native to the Guangdong and Fujian provinces of southeastern China. Litchi is the Latin name for the genus, the fruit is pronounced lie-chee, the app is pronounced lit-chee.

[@frankmoralesiii6908]

It's to bad the orbit can not be set up ahead of time on Litch computer hub like way points can

[@giotto4321]

?? The orbit demonstrated *was* set up ahead of time. Or did I somehow misunderstand your comment?

[@cneedelman1]

Dylan, you make the effort to make a quality video and then you don't take a moment to expose your footage properly. it would be a nice little addition to the video

[@PtolemyCeasar]

all that just to do a simple orbit? not worth the time or the money.

[@johnnelson6021]

WARNING: DJI will no longer be supporting Android devices so anyone that uses Android devices to fly your drones be careful 😞

[@mark_barrentine]

Do you have a DJI link to this news? It would be odd for DJI to do this since CrystalSky is Android based.

[@giotto4321]

Clearly this is wrong. As of 2024, DJI drones still work with Android devices.
