oj88 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 You can actually do autonomous flights using a 3rd party app. One of my favorite app is called Litchi. Below is the link to the Litchi Mission Hub where you can see how I was able to assign waypoints and used a radio tower as my point of interest (POI). The Phantom flew the mission, never taking its camera off the subject to accomplish that smooth pan and tilt. Mission hub: https://flylitchi.com/hub?m=FaaDbnEPs2 Video footage of this practice run: The video is boring, to be honest. It's a practice run for me to try out the autonomous features. By autonomous, I mean that in this particular flight, the bird flew beyond visual line-of-sight (VLOS) and out of range of both the remote controller and live video feed, 75% of of the whole flight path. It was quite daunting waiting for the drone to come back within range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awraynor Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 It would be cool if he could program it to run the fence line and come back. I love how you can assign it to follow something. I'm thinking program it to follow my kids when they go to the neighbors house. Then have it return. Such a fun device. I wonder if you could take it on a cruise ship and fly it over some glaciers or islands or something? That's a pretty good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
