    New alternative to Litchi for those that are into missions.

    Dave, I have no specific operations that I use DL for over Litchi. For quick and easy things Litchi is still used. There are several thins that are interesting in DL. Waypoints only define the path and have nothing to do with any other actions of the drone or camera. Markers can be placed...

    New alternative to Litchi for those that are into missions.

    Yes. They both have their pluses. Once one grasps the methodology of Dronelink the possibilities in complex autonomous flight seem almost limitless. They continues to expand on Dl's abilities almost weekly. Best way to get started is to watch the video tutorials, then look at some of the...

    Litchi Advice

    I don't use Dronelink for all missions especially the simpler ones; so I can appreciate some of your commentary. There are other mission types that are easily set up within minutes that have unique capabilities. Orbits {multiple or partial) and spirals with increasing or decreasing radius and...

    Litchi Advice

    Don't know what you mean by more "granular." I guess it is "subjective" since over the last nine months I have seen Dronelink develop many capabilities that are not in Litchi. It does take time and effort to figure out what is there and how features can be combined and controlled to do those...

    Litchi Advice

    Those that really enjoy autonomous mission planning as a tool or art really should check out Dronelink. It really is more capable than Litchi, but requires a mindset reset with a steeper learning curve. It will expand your creative mission planning.

    You can use the Move function to place the mission in another location away from your house, rename it and post a link for the moved mission.

    Litchi Advice

    Posting a link to your mission would allow those so inclined to actually see what your issues might be rather than just offering guesses.

    Part 107

    Same here, plenty for free. If you really understand the concepts and carefully read the questions the exam is not bad; 95% on my first try.

    How fast do you fly for video shots?

    Sounds about right, distance to subject has some impact on what speed I chose. Closer in I will go down to 4mph or less at times.

    Interesting concept. The linked approaches will have to be thought out when a battery cannot fly the entire mission.

    Neat video. I think Dronelink is going to be great for those needing more than the basics in mission planning and execution. I have found it to be very powerful and flexible.
