Litchi looks great. Can you do a video about how to use it, all the controls and things like how will insurance companies deal with claims when Litchi is involved? For instance will Cover Drone or DJI Refresh pay out for accidental damage occuring when using third party software?

[@tropicallife4449]

In my tests (Litchi BETA) with the Mini 2 for the Focus mode, I have to put the joystick speed limiter to 10-15% (which is very slow) when the subject is less than 50m away, otherwise the Mini does not rotate fast enough to keep the subject in frame. I do not know why the rotation speed is so slow considering it is using GPS as the target.

Hi Gavin. Another awesome video, thanks. Is there any suggestion of when DJI will be releasing the IOS SDK to enable these fantastic features?

[@thekiteflyer1]

Good one Gavin, I decided to get Litchi myself, hopefully get out and start putting some videos together myself, one quick question you maybe able to answer, what buttons on the mini2 controller are keys C1 & C2

[@grahamniven]

Nice video, a perfect answer to a question I had asked previously. Thanks Gavin 👍 Great that Litchi can do these functions, wonder if DJI will ever enable this functionality in their Fly app? 🤔

[@vinzaputra]

Since mini 2 does not have any collision sensor I don't think dji will ever put this feature

[@GAVINHR]

Hi Graham, the below comment is right they won't add them as they want to sell up the model range - for me it's not particularly about obstacle avoidance as they have quickshots which of course you could easily crash using

[@cityullm53]

This option has been about for a long time with the parrot drones, it’s a great option DJI need to get on this,

Still in Beta, but looking forward to the full released version. Checked Apple App Store and mini 2 still excluded...thanks Laurie

[@WiljanWiljan]

Great video Gavin! Fantastic! It would be great if we can kind of combine these orbit and focus shots while getting to waypoints? To eg replicate also mastershots for the Mini 2

[@GAVINHR]

That would be an idea! To be fair though I've used mastershots once and that was to demo mastershots! Never used it since

[@droningwesternaustralia]

Gavin, If you were to select your subject in the focus mode, and then you were to fly past the subject would the drone turn to keep the subject in focus. Like the cable option in maven

[@whimsymaker]

Awesome

do you think there will be a way to change gimble or rotor rates to do dives etc like a standard fpv drone?

How did you get Litchi to work with the Mini 2?? Thanks!

[@LaClippersFan310]

Can you still hit the pause button on the RC if you get close to hitting something?

[@highflyingscotland]

Fantastic video as always Gavin! Does the orbit mode just rely on GPS positioning or does it need the camera / daylight? Unfortunately I'm tied to an iPhone just now so can't test it myself (yet, come on DJI with our SDK) Reason I ask is if it doesn't need daylight it would be awesome for doing long exposure photos from the ground with a strobe attached and set to a solid light for some lightpainting with the drone. (think buildings with a halo circled above thanks to the drone strobe) I've managed lightpainting by flying manual orbits, but the subject building has to be lit so you have something to see on the screen to get a smooth circle.

[@GAVINHR]

Great idea with the light painting! Yes it works on GPS location - I have not tried in the dark but since it's GPS location I cannot see this being an issue at all

Hi Gavin, great video again! Quick question...what is your experience in using litchi follow me in the hills? Does it work if your phone has pressure sensing (like many samsung phones have). Does it work good with litchi?

[@GAVINHR]

Hi there and thanks for watching as usual, sadly I have not got a Samsung phone to be able to test that so I am unable to say either way however this all works on the phones GPS location so there is no reason to think it won't work ok :)

[@WiljanWiljan]

@@GAVINHR Hi Gavin, appreciate yr feedback!. Basically all phones have gps so that will work with Litchi. But for using eg follow me in the hills, you also need to measure the altitude. Phones with pressure sensor can do this, and in litchi there is also a setting in follow me. You can test if your phone has a pressure sensor by eg installing a barometer app from the playstore. Then you should see if the phone does register and measure altitude. Unfortunate you dont find videos on this from litchi themselves.

[@gimbalair]

I am assuming the wind was creating the lack if symmetry it looked for all the world in that first shot the drone was getting further away from ht POI (you)

Yes it was pretty gusty with constant wind warnings, using these modes previously have worked just fine, the orbit worked amazing well however

[@alfonsoramundo6390]

Thanks for the video. Would you say Litchi is a worthy alternative to DJI fly and mostly, would you say it's better than DJI fly?

[@DavidCorral94]

I've been trying Litchi a couple of days and, in terms of functionalities, absolutely yes, Litchi is way more capable of DJI fly. What is a pity is the design of the Litchi app, it feels like an app made back in 2010, while DJI Fly app its quite beautiful, clear and concise in all ways. For me feels weird that Litchi, getting the incomes that they get for every app sold, haven't put any more efforts in improve their app appearance.

[@GAVINHR]

I think it's because even to this day a lot of drone users prefer the look of the DJI Go app on which this was largely based in appearance

[@unrealtrini]

Should I wait on the mini 3 or buy the mini2

[@tojj29]

It certainly looks like it's a usable app with the Mini 2. Have they updated the app at all yet Gav since it's been out?

[@GAVINHR]

There was one update I believe but I think that was more about compatibility with certain devices, from our conversations in expecting it in full by the end of the month, in reality most of the features work and the flight controls work as the should, this has worked with the Mavic mini and air 2 for over a year and it's the same control points for the mini 2 / SE / air 2s so not a great amount of work to get it working it's just the final modes etc and finessing the functions

[@jag131990]

@@GAVINHR Thanks Gavin, I am hopeful you can make this testing fairly elaborate, to give confidence to us new users to Litchi (have now purchased this App due to your videos). If these functions can be shown to protect the drone in loss of receiver, override user for return to home for low battery etc. then that would be great. I think in one of your videos you showed the DJI Fly app would repeatedly attempt return to home on low battery, and could be cancelled, but there was very high confidence the drone would take over when it really needed to.

[@GAVINHR]

Yes if course, it's quite ironic you mentioned it, I even said in the video I know a few of you have concerns so I'll show a return to home but cut it out due to noise, I'll show and test them in the final review which will be about features and flight performance in normal modes

[@richardhallegolf]

Gavin, I have a question for you which has no relevance to this video, but it is concerning the Mini 2 using the Beta Android version of Litchi. The question is on WAYPOINTS. In the event of a loss of connection of the controller when on a Waypoint mission, is the drone going to continue its mission or will it RTH? With my old Phantom, when encountering a loss of connection during a Litchi waypoint mission, the drone continued its mission, but I have heard that with the Mini 2, and this Beta version, the drone will RTH on a loss of connection. Thanks in advance for your expert knowledge and keep up the good work.

[@GAVINHR]

Hi Richard - in all truth I have not filmed / tested the waypoints mission in full yet, it is always been my believe that your first statement is correct and during s loss of Connection the mission will continue, I have no reason to think differently on the mini 2 but I will of course test this

[@DavidCorral94]

If we are in the middle of a fly can we switch from the Litchi app to the DJI app safely? Honestly one of the main concerns that I would have regarding Litchi its the safety. For me, DJI fly app seems like a more robust app which has been specifically designed for DJI drones, while Litchi it's more generic and has a bunch of features that you could use with a lot of drones, but this is achieved by renouncing that reliability that DJI fly app provides. Is it just a bad feeling that I have or it is the reality?

[@GAVINHR]

Hi David, the litchi app is also specifically designed for DJI drones, I think there is some misconceptions, DJI release their control packages TO these companies so most of the features and modes and controls are actual DJI's development, and in actual fact there have been many occasions in the past 6 months or so that the DJI fly app has been completely incompatible with certain devices leaving owners grounded! It's a bit of a bad feeling in all honesty, I wouldn't risk my own drone using it as believe me the views from these videos wouldn't pay me enough to buy a new mini 2! Haha

Do you talk in these strange disjointed sentences normally or is that just for videos? 😂 Another quality video mate!

Haha! No it's very different in person, usually I record every video twice to account for wind noise so often bits get cut up and chopped in to overall try bring a better more efficient video, after a lot of videos on KZbin me just talking away doesn't engage people so it's easier this way :)

[@paulholman5571]

Even accepting the high winds, that 'focus' mode looks pretty poor. Subject drifts across almost a third of the frame in the first test. You get cut out of frame in the overhead test. Not impressed at all by this. The orbit function doesn't seem any improvement over the DJI Fly quick shot orbit. A bit of 'king's new clothes' so far with these functions.

The main advantage is that you can select the speed also with this to get the desired shot, yes the focus needs a bit of tweaking of course but that's why it's still in beta, I will revisit any I don't think worked as well as should after the final release

They do the same thing 🤦🏾 What features work?? Because everything else like follow me doesn't work it loses track of the subject 🤦🏾🤦🏾 why do they charge people for this app?

[@GAVINHR]

Absolutely 🙂 did a good job considering the wind, standard quickshots looked exactly the same
