Yesterday I did a new Follow and Track test since it was a bit cloudy so I could maybe get an idea about the influence of the (lesser) lighting. I tested with higher ev and with lower ev but unfortunately I hereby simply copy my former text :
1- I tried Follow once more but (also this time) nothing happened. The Mini 2 hovers but does not show any further activity.
#1 : Follow is not depending on anything optical. Still it does not function at my combi, and I never have any problem with the combi in another app or mode or way.
2- I tried Tracking once more but (also this time) the camera swinged left and right in a 1-seconds tact at some 15 degrees (a lot). It more or less tells all by itself that the answer is (still) no. Several times a message showed up that I (me, myself and I) have to stabelize the camera to get Tracking to function.
#2a: Tracking is depending at the optical system. They say. The swinging of the drone might be the sign the optical system is too weak at my combi. But Why does Litchi tell me that I (me, myself and I) have to stabelize the camera to get Traking to function. HowTo ?
#2b: The DJI Fly-app Quickshots work perfectly. QS might maybe not really use the selectwindow in an optical way but to determine a gps-spotlocation. However, QS-circle is (somewhat) able to Follow a moving subject but it maybe updates the gps-homepoint automatically. Instead of tracking the pixelscolorscombi.
I will never spend a lot of money on any phone, let alone to make (controlling) a drone work. My (very) longtermbudget for a phone is €100 per year. My Alcatel 1S 2020 phone with full updates which I bought october 2021 works flawlessly and costed some €130. I think it is (relatively spoken, deflation, inflation) the most expensive phone I own(ed) since 2005 or so.
I liked the idea of making a follow- or track-video of myself cycling to my next (unknown) destination in the next (unknown) landscape. However I dislike (…) the idea of having to return the route (hills) while the drone turns out to still be hovering at my startingpoint. I did create a strapsystem to fix the controller on top of the handlebarbag. But I don’t really trust it and I don’t really want to look down on my phone anyway and I most lickely won’t see anything on the screen anyway. Especially since my OnTheRoad 4.0 superbicyclecombi weighs 65kgs alltogether in “fulltime cyclist- and emigrantmode”.
I have uninstalled the Litch-app since it is not to be for me.
