I don't need a phantom 4 I own a phantom 3 professional and with the Litchi app, I can get miles on waypoints I even fly out of signal lost, it estimates the time the mission will take, I can go on and on, but thanks again guy. best app ever
Active track without obstacle avoidance is useless, that and the 10' radar vs 30' and finally dual IMU and compass compared to the P3P, I'll stay with my decision to return the P3 and love my P4
By the way, I flew over 3 miles in a lousy with wiFi area teaming with noise, I can outfly the battery, and when I land in back yard while sitting in AC, the obstacle avoidance radar assist in instrument landing with distance markers on screen, and knowing altitude from 25' up vs having to be within 3 meters, is also huge.
I can see why upgrading for some ppl isn't really worth it, to me and others it is/was. To be fair I have 4 different antenna setups, and Sunhans amps and other goodies like ultra low loss cables for signals, but I have 2 million feet traveled in 4 months, 1 million in last 2 weeks, knock on wood my P3 flew awesome, and my P4 flies when better, with marginally better camera, and sport mode with real Active trac makes it a better deal the the typhoon H, which I like to
I'd like to set something up similar to what you have going on, I currently have a DJI Inspire and a Phantom 3 standard. Can you let me in on what equipment you're using? Still learning all this stuff, and speaking to the experienced people helps me to learn, so I'm all ears.
Indian Frost hot far away can you fly witgout the litchy app? (in kilometers)
Ifrostify ok you just said it takes 15 minutes ine,way flight if that is true then a,round trip would be 30 minutes depending on the wind witch is not possible with the fantom professional or standards I barely get that with my fantom 4 .also by sending it on a mission means you have no signal and no control so there is no way from keeping it from running into something because you have no sensors on the front only the bottom .very dangerous. But with the fantom 4 I get great range and have full control in case something happens but the sensors on the front helps it to avoid things and fly up and over them
You go on "missions" ? That is sooooooo cool..
Very well done. Informative.
+Ken Heron thanks Ken

Gotta admit these are the best pro and con posts I have read in a long time...very entertaining.
Such a cool product, thanks for sharing these great tips on extending the life on the Phantom 3,
+getfitover40 you bet. I like expensive gadgets as much as the next guy, but I'm also living on a budget that can't afford a new drone every year.
picked my standard up at walmart last night for $369. cant wait to get an antenna upgrade and try out the litichi app. loving it so far.
+Brad Brinegar awesome! Congrats on your purchase!
Brad Brinegar you got it cheap bro. It's still like £400 in U.K.
ikr
seen that sale. think Sam's has that still.
£400 is like $565
Awesome video man. Just purchased a Phantom 3 Standard and you made me feel so much better about my purchase. Thanks!
+Josef Martinez Thanks, happy flying!
+Techy Agent upgrading to the Phantom 4 is not worth it I cannot get my Phantom to go 1 mile, half a mile and I lose signal every time I am very disappointed in the Phantom 4 and its distance claim bull. if you have any tips to get me some distance I would really appreciate it thank you and God bless.
+steve espinoza Do you still see your drone if it is half a mile away? Because in most countries it is only allowed to fly it within line of sight, which makes sense, because you don't want to be responsible for the death of people, if your done causes a helicopter crash or car traffic accident.
+steve espinoza where do you live ? city , rural , ?
+Sorry Dude the suburbs of Los Angeles California. I have the Phantom 3 advanced and that one goes an honest mile and a half. the Phantom 4 has trouble going a half a mile. I know it is the connection between the radio and the Phantom because I have full bars on my iPad Air 2.
Thanks for the information! I just bought a P3 with 3 batteries and a range extenders for $400 solid! Now I'm going to download the Litchi app!
I could only imagine your anticipation when waiting on your P3 to show up on a waypoint mission! 👍 Great info about the P3 continuing it's mission when the P3 losses signal.
+Michael Kincaid yeah, the first time I was pretty nervous. I flew it out over a large field and old steel mill in case it crashed, but it came back.
I agree buddy , you make a great point ! Peace
+SlayerX Purington Thanks!
Do this app work on Phantom 4?
+DoctaM3 yes it does
+Techy Agent Cool... I just worry--I have the Phantom 2V+, Iris, 3DR Solo--I think there is more tech development that is needed. I suspect we will see a leap this summer. Fingers crossed.
Great info. Thanks for all your research. It was very helpful and informative.
Good Morning. Thank you for sharing your video.
I just got a P3 standard for father's day. This video helped a lot.
video: "I could buy three of these and crash two for that price"
me: "I COULD BUILD AN ARMY"
+PirateShipProductions lol 👍
The logic of throwing the old ones away is a bit silly. You could easily sell them.
I don't think he's saying throwing it away literally. I think what he means is you can only sell it half or a third of the original price
+Jerome Jimeno you're telling me used items sell for less then new ones!?! Thanks Obama!
Jerome Jimeno That still isn't throwing it away. That is deprecation like most thinks folks buy
Hey man that was great!! I love it when you can "cheat the system" and get the most out of old tech instead of having to upgrade. I don't personally own one of these but after seeing the shots you've taken I might think about it.
+BboyJDA now that the Phantom 3 Standard is down to less than $500, it's a fantastic value.
This is truly a GREAT Video! I've not seen new original content for a long time. You have made a VERY compelling argument. I myself own a Phantom 3 Pro, and I've decided NOT to buy another drone until they have truly perfected 360-degree obstacle avoidance. I was familiar with Litchi before seeing your video and I think it's one of the best apps hands down. You did not mention this but with Litchi you can do even MORE than the Phantom 4, it's got so many new functions. I know this video was made in 2016 but keep up the good work brother!
+Joe Glenn Thanks! I've honestly tapered off drone reviews on this channel because I want to keep the focus on mostly health and fitness technology, BUT we did just launch a brand-new channel that will cover more drone related tech (and other tech) in a new channel "Techy Neon". If you watch the latest video on this channel, you'll get some details as well as a link to the new channel. Feel free to check out the new channel!
Great video. I was looking into getting a Phantom 4, as an upgrade to my Phantom 3 Standard... but you have some valid points. I might buy the app you talk of, despite it being £20, which is a lot, and i may not use all the features that the app boasts. But ye, thanks for this video :)
+MrDragonfyr 👍
20 is a bit less than an upgrade for 1200...
He failed to mention the range/ signal is improved on the P3/adv & pro and also the P4, because they use lightbridge. Litchi doesn't replace that. Its not even a good alternative to 'enhance' the P3 standard. If you want more 'bang for your buck', consider flipping your Standard for an Advanced or higher on ebay. Way better option then flying blind with litchi like this tool suggests! Ive flown over 2.175 miles out with full signal (using litchi only to bypass the distance limit of the dji go app). But you need the hardware, before you can fully utilize the software. Basic Computing 101!
Wow you're right it is extremely reckless using the waypoint missions. Any number of things could happen mid flight and with no one at the controls disastrous things can happen. I personally only fly within line of sight for safety reasons. I really don't think Litchi should be creating software that could potentially be such a danger. The what ifs are far to great in this case. I just wish everyone could understand the importance of flying within the FAA guidelines. If we don't play by the rules soon we won't be able to play at all.
You can easily take control back by just flipping to switch from F to P. This will stop the waypoint mission and just hover there and you have control of it again.
+Chad Wade True but if you are outside of the video transmission range how would you know trouble is about to happen? I'm only speaking of those that do long range flights passed their line of site and outside of their signal range. This capability of the app is very reckless and irresponsible. It would be one thing if the mission is programmed over a baron landscape or water. Worse that can happen is you lose you drone but people are mapping mission over populated areas where anything can happen. It's just not safe and the fail safe of flipping switch does nothing when you can't see what is going on.
That is true. I agree with you. Just setting a mission where you don't have visual contact is reckless because you can't see what your drone is doing. I always keep visual contact with my drone when I sett up my mission with Litchi. That way flipping the switch you can take control.
+Chad Wade I know there are a lot of responsible pilots like yourself out there unfortunately there are way to many irresponsible pilots too. It's only gonna take one big accident for use all to suffer the consequences. I myself also only fly within line of sight and I don't think my videos suffer at all. In some cases I've started filming in one area and then moved to a second to be able to capture more footage. Check out some of my videos and I'll check out some of yours.
+Jason Scarboro check out my other channel at C & R Aerials.
10-4! I have a Phantom 3 Pro and love the Litchi app. Also for storm chasing and a few other reasons... I keep this drone... As well, the price difference. Kudos on the video!
Great video... Your Cost vs Benefit analysis is perfect! Thanks... Being a novice, I did something same to get a Phantom 3S, instead of Mavic pro ;)
But the Standard 3 comes with "follow me", "waypoints",
follow me is not active track with follow me the drone just follows the remote
Ok thanks
yes the p4 has batter range than the p3s but it doesn't have better range than the P3a and p3p!!
+J_Grindel that is true, a point I should have distinguished better. And all the more reason to consider a p3a or p3p over the p4.
+Techy Agent exactly, the p3 is a brilliant bird!
+Techy Agent what is the range of the p3a and p3p?i have a p2v+ and it only gets out to about 300feet really sux at times when i need it to go further.. so in saying that i am contemplating on getting a p3p or a p4 but i am confused on which one to get.
+bradsta73 Get a P3A ... Same distance as a 4 but only 2.7k max .... which is more than enough
+acgkplh thanx for the reply mate,they are alot cheaper too and I have the litchi app so I should be able to do most things the p4 can do,don't need 4k and the safety features are a bonus in the p4 but thats something that can wait... I don't care about how high I go just need the distance... thanks again 😊
Thank you for the tips and advice. I will try this.
Thanks. Great info. Will buy and try that app. A $32 price tag for the app is much cheaper than getting a new drone for some of those features
So basically go with the Phantom 4
The Phantom 3 Goes farther and faster at unpacking than the Phantom 4
Wrong.
+TripMcSleazestack Right. The 3 pro does go faster and farther out of the box and not including sport mode.
+UngovernedReason so it doesn't then.
+TripMcSleazestack Out of the box. Without turning on any extra features. Picking pepper out of fly shit here.
+UngovernedReason so still no. 'Extra Features' ? If its built in...its not extra. Typical, sad P3 fanboy can't afford a P4.
Great video... I'm going to buy the Litchi app now that I can use the way point feature you highlighted. That's awesome! Need to watch this video again, so much great info lol.
+Ron Bursey you are welcome, thanks for watching
Thanks for this video. It helped me make the decision to buy the Phantom 3 4k. I also bought the Litchi app and it makes the Phantom so versatile. I've had my Phantom 3 4k for about two months now and am completely satisfied with my decision.
Thanks again
Mike
+Michael Sulwer thanks Mike! Glad you are happy with your choice, as I've been with mine.
I like this guys bcuz he actually understand that ther is a lot of things the phantom 3 has instead of the phantom 4 and with this app it makes it become a phantom 4 or just like but still with this persons help he makes ur drone better. So later and piece to all later
Great job on the video! And I have the exact same case...it's a great case!
Phantom 4 = Flying Tripod...it's freaken awesome! Great video Techy...
I was not sure if Litchi was a good option. It was frustrating DJI go sometimes... You just helped me clear those daubts.
Excellent info. Thanks for that!
+Oswaldo Plascencia you bet!
This is the type of info i was looking for!! Thanks a lot and take care!!!!
+Edgar Davila no problem, glad it was helpful
Hi Eric thanks for the video, although you didn't go into great detail I felt like you explained Litchi better than any of the others! I will now go and download it.
Thanks
+Danny Burke thanks Danny, there are a lot of videos on UA-cam explaining the features in further depth, if you want. I was just trying to give a quick perspective. Thanks for watching!
Very nice video buddy Im happy with my phantom 3 standard 👍👍👍
BRO, solid informational. I actually just bought the Phantom 3 and i'm using it to make vlog style, music style videos. The 23 dollar app is welll worth the money if i can use this like the 4. THANK YOU so much for your insight!
Thanks for explaining the app. I do have have a question though, I have a Phantom 4 and sometimes the dji go 4 app records ambient sound and I can't figure out why. Thanks.
May I ask you since the 48fps option with FHD DISAPPEARED from the DJI app. Is it enabled in the litchi one
Excellent video! Thank you! I also fly the P3 Standard for aerial photography. Are there batteries that last longer than 20-25 minutes? I photograph/video waterfalls in the Pacific NW and by the time I maneuver thru and around trees and mountain cliffs, it's time to return to switch out the batteries.
Very good info, and now I have purchased Litchi for my P3STAN !
+Donal Romano There is a little learni curve, but the Litchi website has some good instructional videos
Cool info! When sending your P3 out past it’s normal range via waypoints, I realize you’re not going to be able to see what it’s seeing, thru your phone. But when doing that, if you started recording while you were still connected, would it continue recording even after you’ve lost connection to it, and you’d be able to view that video when you caught back up to it?
Hi there, so I have the one-plus 6 and the phantom 3 standard. But the dji go app's live feed is very choppy on my phone. And was wondering if buying the litchi app I wouldn't have this problem? Thanks!
Thanks great video now I am getting the phantom 3 standard because of the points you made in this video keep up the good work
+K9 Unit Awesome! Check out the link in the description of the video, it should take you to Amazons lowest pricing available for the drone!
+Techy Agent will do thank you for the help
I love "Waypoint" with my Litchi controlled P3S!!! I also have the ARGtek antennas system, so my P3S will do anything I want now, within the 20 minutes the battery will last that is. I use topo maps of my area to make sure I don't crash into something while it's on a "Mission". I haven't tried the RTG thing yet, but maybe the Summer of 2018.
A friend of mine has had the P3S and switched to a 4K P4P since he uses it for filming commercials on TV. He wishes he hadn't sold his P3S because of all the fun he had with it! He's also been telling me the tricks and tips he used with his Litchi controlled P3S, like "Course Lock" and Home Lock" for the earlier filming he did. I, of course, don't film commercials, I just love to see the world from a "Birds Eye View"!
I bought a refurbished P3S just before Christmas of 2017 for only $398 and it's been perfect! Does anything I want with the Litchi app that I paid $24.99 for just before Christmas too!
I watched this video back in November of 2017 and it was a BIG part of my research into the DJI drones. I didn't comment back then, but I am now to tell you ... Thank you for making this video, it pretty much made my mind up to go for the lower cost P3S instead of going into debit with a much more expensive drone.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks! It’s great to get positive feedback like this!
Great video, can't wait to pick up my Standard.
+Pedro Vieira Awesome! Happy flying!
So just to be clear did you say you can't fly the drive manually ? It has to be flown from pre planned routes ?
totally agree with the price comment and not worrying about crashes and losing it , I got a phantom 3 standard just to start with but i might get another one and upgrade the controllers. the only thing is the 2.7k but hey its all good.
Great clip ☺
+Wülf Dean thanks 👍
Great review. These are all valid points. Thank you!
+MDB Drone Adventures you bet👍
Very nice vid !!! I would like to know if will be able to acess D-Log profile through the Litchi app. Thanx
Any way to upgrade the camera for a phantom 3 standard? I heard you could buy a phantom 3 4K camera and install it
will the Apple iPad mini 32GB Wi-Fi with Retina Display work on the phantom 3 ?
I have the DJI 3s and the camera is really poor what camera do you have on yours?
Great Video, you made my decision a lot easier on my next purchase, and you earned a new subscriber.
Thanks Andy! I do mostly fitness / fitness tech videos...but if you stick with the channel, you'll get some drone videos here and there too since they are too cool not to cover.
Very helpfull video, im going to install Litchi right now!
awsome tips!!!! thank you!!
just got a phantom 3 standard, working my way up.... got it off of offerup for 200 bucks and it only needed 2 props and 2 stabilizers. It also came WITH an aluminum case for it all which was AMAZING!
This is easily one of the best purchases and upgrdes I have gotten. The video quality is impecible for the price point. Just all around.
Yes I tried to get one cheaper... this was the best bang for buck I could get.
did you havesignal issuse with new firmware? 1.9.2
Thanks for this video.. great point and tips...!
+kadek sudarwika Thanks for watching!
Super, thankyou for fantastic an high value clear info, thanks
That app was all I needed to hear. good video!
+Lucas Christenson thanks! 👍
Can you live stream to facebook with litchi? I have the p3 advanced but I have used it one time only and I did not look for all features
+J. Adrian Vazquez The last I knew, this feature wasn't offered yet, but I could be wrong
Great man cant wait to try it out
cool video... I just love litchi for the waypoint feature alone!!!....great upgrade for the p3s
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make!
+tattoosfromgrease you bet, thanks for watching!
Have you tried FPV using the litchi app and phantom 3? How is it?
Do you use this app INSTEAD of a DJI app? In other words, can you use this app today in 2022 to fly a phantom 3 that you're having trouble flying with dji apps that don't seem to support the Phantom 3 anymore?
nice video man. helped a lot
+Brian Kayal 👍
awesome info man many thanks
+termbb you bet!
just watched your vid, sounds good bought my phamtom 3 last year my flying iz getting better now just getting into follow me mode and such an by the way I like that app you talking about so man if I have any questions my I call apone you. just looking for advise thanks man
Just wondering if your still using this app. I have seen a few videos where ppl have claimed to lose control of their drone due to the app. I would like to use the app but this concerns me a little, I also understand that those situations could of been pilot error. So just wondering if you still use it and have you ever had any bad experiences with it. Thanks
Nice Video. I have a Phantom 3 SE that flys for a minute and falls to the ground after the motors stops suddenly. Camera was damaged a while ago so i removed it and the gimble is still connected to the drone properly secured and wired. Is there a fix for this or is this a common problem or is it because the the camera is detached. Any help from anyone would be fantastic.Subscribed
First-time Sub. Great advice. Got a factory Reman for 399. Can't wait to start. We all get that the newer Quad is better. But for a beginner like me, it is a no-brainer. 399 are you out of your mind?
Thanks for awsome video. Please where you got your Case, and how much is it? thanks
I went for the p3 advanced... thankfully I found an almost new second hand one for £299 with 2 batteries. I know for sure now if I had just gone with the standard I would have wanted an upgrade pretty quick. I need to look into the litchi app. Mainly for the waypoints and follow.
have you tried out the autopilot app? still debating on which application to purchase. also was wondering if on the litchi app it still supports the phantom 3 standard to record at 1080P 60 Fps?? let me know thats the main reason im looking into this ap for better video performance.
+philip solodyankin yes, it supports all of the same camera settings as the DJI app. I have not tried out the auto pilot app so I can't give you any comparison points, sorry
thank you really much, appreciate that. it's can save money and still be a really good drone. it's awesome. thanks
+mariusz kedzior 👍
Thanks, excellent advise especially for a newby to drones.
+eric gofreed thanks! Yeah, as a newb to the drone hobby, I couldn't justify spending 1400-1500 for a new drone when I still had a perfectly function phantom 3
Hey Eric, new sub here! I just wanted to say thanks for posting such an informative video on the Phantom 3. I've spent the past 4 months training with lower priced drones in order to polish up on my flying skills before I move forward with a more expensive device. I'm in the process of starting my own aerial photography business and will actually be purchasing a Phantom 3 Advanced tomorrow. I've been going back and forth in regards to spending 1400 bucks on the P4, compared to 800 on the P3 Advanced and it's been videos like yours that have helped to sway me into going with the less expensive model. Granted, if the Phantom 5 was coming out in a few weeks and I knew the P4 would be significantly dropping in price, I might hold off and go with the P4, but I figured with this being my first drone over 200 bucks, I may as well go with the P3 and spend the extra couple hundred bucks I would save, and purchase some extra batteries and perhaps the extended landing gear. In your opinion, if you had to purchase your P3 again and you had the option of purchasing the Phantom 3 Standard, the P3 4K version, or the advanced, which device would you go with? I intentionally left out the P3 Professional simply because you can now purchase the P4 for just over the P3 Pro's price point. Also, do you find that the props on your P3 get in the way very often while shooting video, or is it really a non-issue as long as you keep your camera angle adjusted? The reason I ask is because I've seen a number of P4 videos that have shown the props in view as well, so I'm assuming this is easily remedied in flight and shouldn't be a concern? Sorry for such a long comment! Thanks again and I look forward to following your work moving forward!
+MrChris if I had to do over, I would go for the p3 advanced because of the better camera and better controller range. When I bought my standard, it was $700 and the other drones were $1000 or more so I couldn't afford them.
Yes, sometimes the props will get into the shot. But as long as you are shooting in 4K (or in my case 2k), you can always crop the video just a little to remove the props and you will still have an HD image quality.
I notice props show up when I first begin to fly in a certain direction or if I'm flying into a headwind.
+Techy Agent thanks for your input, I appreciate it!
I'd agree with Techy Agent on that one too, I have a P3 standard and I wish I'd got the advanced, mostly just because the remote control is terrible on the standard!
+Colin Henning I went into Best Buy with the intention of picking up the P3 Advanced but I ended up paying the extra $ for the P3 Professional. Best Buy matched Amazon's price so I couldn't pass it up. :)
You just had to make the random scottish guy jealous didn't you...
Congrats! Hope you're enjoying it :)
Nice one pls how or where can I buy the bag you use for your Phantom 3?
thanks for the video. I'm new to drone, and have purchase the P3SE. will be using it for when I go for my family holiday, now looking at most youtube thing about drones just seem that most ppl just seem to downtalk the 3series, and I'm actually starting to wonder if I have made a mistake of buying the drone, even though ive save a lot of money from buying one of the phantom4 series,
and also been considering to get the litche app, which I will now after watching your vid, cheers again mate
ok, just a question, so you said in the next video that it went funny (Litchi App) and you switched over to sports mode and brought it back, is that easy to do via the controller or is it done in the app ??
thanks for your time.
+Wesley Walker I went from the automation mode back to manual control mode. That can be done via the app or by using the controller (switching the metal toggle switch to the top position)
great info, many thanks
+DaaDeeOh's Urban Exploration 👍
This is such a useful video! Thanks so much!
+Terr Travels thanks for watching!
+Techy Agent Subbed, you've got so much awesome content!
Do you have any thoughts on aftermarket mods for the P3S? Particularly DBS antennae or similar. I read that some of them can extend PS3's controllable distance to over 3 times its stock limit.
+Terr Travels I haven't had any experience with modifying the antenna. I do have the Skyreat Parabolic Antenna Range extender that I purchased from Amazon. It seems to help, maybe double my range. Sometimes it seems to really help, other times it seems to have no effect, but it's not very expensive so it's worth the risk.
questión ...do you have the free litchi app or the paying one..... I see an app for the phantom 2 but not the 3
Great video, well produced and some excellent points you addressed. I had my mind made up to buy this app a while back, but it wasn't that high on the list of priorities since I'm already getting great range out of P3 Pro and my ARGTek modified P3 Standard. Quick question, (I'm ready to click the mouse) if I want to install the app on two devices, do I have to buy each? Great job on the video, thanks for sharing. DJ SOUL FORCE
+DJ SOUL FORCE good question: if the two devices that you want to install it on are the same platform (android or iOS ) then you will only need to buy it once. But if you want to purchase a copy for android and a copy for iOS, you will have to purchase it twice
Techy Agent Thanks bro, I'm sold!!! Keep up the super job you're doing. DJ SOUL FORCE
Very helpful video, thanks!
+Ade Torrent thank you for watching
will using litchi solve the infamous dji go app video signal loss problem?
Very informative ....I've got to try that app.
Thank you
+Sandford Wildlife Society SWS 👍
Good video!
Keep up with the good work.
Which case do you use for your Phantom 3 Standar?
Thank you
+Daniel Bravo I use this case: Carrying Case for DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ / Vision / Phantom 2 With Gimbal www.amazon.com/dp/B00JSZPT4A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_xCPixbWXTV3AX
+Techy Agent thank you, the Dji Phantom 3 fits there?
How is it a pain in the butt to access it, in the pic it looks like there is simple screw holes and you can remove the cover
Great video thanks buddy I just grabbed this app !!!
+SJC Cobra it's expensive, but definitely worth it. There is a learning curve, especially with programming way points, but stick with it and you'll have a blast.
Hi, would you know why when I open the litchi app on my iPad mini it doesn't show the blue dot of my location. And the location beacon is on, on my iPad mini. It shows up on my regular iPad but the not the mini. Any suggestions
+articair1 yep, I can answer that: The iPad mini (non-4g version) does not have a built-in GPS chip like the regular iPad. So you don't see the dot of your location because the iPad mini doesn't have any way to know that information. If you get an iPad mini that has 4g abilities, those have GPS chips, and will work. You can tell if your iPad mini has 4G service by whether or not it has a plastic bar at the top of it on the backside: www.google.com/search?q=ipad+mini+without+gps+vs&rlz=1C9BKJA_enUS613US613&hl=en-US&prmd=vsni&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiq3-KdlI3OAhWFkh4KHYEdAp0Q_AUICigE&biw=768&bih=909#imgrc=0GwrIJcLnD7xeM%3A
thank you ✔
+Omar Zaki channel You bet
These things are cool right? I must confess... a friend gave me a phantom 3 pro and a 4 pro and I thought I wouldn't really care too much for them. But after using them I am hooked! these things are fun!
One more question! and thanks for all your fast responses... when you fly a waypoint mission, and it loses video signal cause its out of range, does it still record the mission?? and you just can view it at the time?
+JIMMY JAMES yes, it will still record the mission on the camera as long as it was on when it disconnected.
Thanks for the review of the app .. I've been using vertical to do tracking but I like the wayward points on this app
+djrickysmith is vertical another app? I'm not familiar with it
Yes .. Vertical was the app I found out about in March 2016. vertical.ai/
I just bought Litchi this morning and I'm looking forward to flying with it later today. I have the Phantom 3 Advanced and just love the way this aircraft rides.
+djrickysmith cool, I'll check vertical out, thanks
So if i have a p3 advanced can ths work
Good Stuff, Thanks for posting!
+Mountainmanchad 👍 thanks for watching
should I get the dji app to update the firmware and stuff before I get the litchi app or should I go ahead and use this app without using the dji app?
You need the DJI Go app to update firmware.
Can you fly the dji 3 without the remote and using the app only? If i go surfing can i leave the remote at my house and put my iphone in my waterproof case and take it out surfing ? can i land and take off with the app? thanks
+Faceless Reviewer you must use a controller to fly this drone, they don't have an app-only option
