I want to buy a drone capable of direct waypoint flights (a feature not supported by the Mini 4 or Lito X1, which I have since sold). The question is whether a Mini 2 can do this using your Litchi app and my iPhone? Thanks
Both the Mini 4 Pro and the Lito X1 have native waypoints. The Mini 4 Pro is supported with the DJI MSDKv5 and therefore, is supported by the Litchi Pilot app. The Litchi Mission Hub can be used to design and transfer waypoint missions directly to either drone to be flown using DJI Fly.
Define what you mean by “direct waypoint flights” because it is not clear.
Answer to the Mini 2 question, Yes. It uses the original litchi mobile app and can be used with either an Android OS device or IOS device.
Thanks for your answer. I’ll answer to “the direct flights” with the attached picture : I want the drone follow the red way and not the last that applies DJI ; I tried by creating a kmz file in Maven but once tranfered in Dji Fly the flight is turned to the green ! Since my question I think it would be better to choose a Air 2s which is more secured with the obstacle detection. and it is usable with Litchi.
I can’t use Litchi pilot because I have an iPhone
Pure straight line missions are only possible with drones compatible with the original (old) Litchi for DJI drones app.
Litchi for DJI Drones is compatible with: Mini 2, Mini SE (version 1 only), Air 2S, Mavic Mini 1, Mavic Air 2, Mavic 2 (Zoom/Pro), Mavic (Air/Pro), Phantom 4 (Standard/Advanced/Pro/ProV2), Phantom 3 (Standard/4K/Advanced/Professional), Inspire 1 (X3/Z3/Pro/RAW), Inspire 2 and Spark.

The only way to get relatively straight paths with DJI Fly waypoints is to add more waypoint’s close together particularly on the turns. They will never be completely straight but much better with more waypoints. Of course you would need a newer drone which supports DJI Waypoints like the Mini 4 you sold which as indicated has SDK support for third party apps. So you need to decide if you want a legacy drone or a newer drone which has SDK support and DJI Fly waypoints. Enjoy.
All drone models supported in Litchi Pilot can fly real straight lines in Litchi Pilot, including Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro and Mini 4 Pro.
Yes but litchi pilot runs only through Abdriid systems… I think
Correct, Litchi Pilot is Android ONLY
Hello
As I’m not a fluent english speaker I’ll ask differently my problem. I’m looking for a drone doing direct flights (red on previous picture). The app must be running under iOs. My preference is for a drone in class C0.
Can anyone give me the miraculous solution ?
@Tribar answered your question. The original Litchi for DJI drones app, is used on iOS as well as Android platforms.
Here is the list of compatible drones.
Thanks for this list; I can look up on the web their specifications one by one, but could you tell me which ones are Class C0—meaning under 250g?
All DJI Mini drones are class C0.
In your specific case you have to look for second hand (used) Mavic Mini, Mavic Mini SE or Mini 2.
For these 3 drones I must buy the Litchi app through Appstore ?
And this will give me access to direct flignts ?
Air 2S would be your best bet. I will also work with IOS
The Air 2S weighs 595 grams. Over twice the 249g limit he asked about.

Consegue, o mini 2 tem o SDK liberado. Só tome cuidado porque o Mini 2 SE e Mini 4k não possuem SDK liberado. Tenho um mini 2 e funciona.
Correction: Older drones under 250 grammes, such as Mini 2, Mavic Mini, etc, are not C0. They are however classed as legacy drones under 250 grammes and can therefore be flown in the A1 category, same as the C0 class drones, such as the Mini 4 Pro.
I have done the same with good results, although Litchi is better and easie for supported drones.
