Make sure you’re not recording when you’re trying to take a photo.
The drone is essentially in Normal mode when in Waypoints so it will not handle wind as strong as in sport mode.

Waypoints are not available in sport mode.

do you mean that you can not record in a mission that you want to take pictures ?
thanks, Gordon

You can schedule “video recording stop” + “photo” + “video recording start” at one point

You need to ensure that the mission is set as a straight line mission in the mission settings if you want to use actions

I have not tried it but I would suggest configuring these actions at a waypoint to see if it makes a difference:

  1. Stop recording
  2. Wait for 1 second
  3. Take photo
  4. Wait for 1 second
  5. Start recording

Let us know if this works.

Hi, thanks wesbarris i will give a try ,now the weather is not good but i will let you know
just to be sure this command are all for the same waypoint ?

12

Yes they would all be for the same waypoint, just make sure the mission is set to straight line mission

13

Yep, maybe tommorow i will be able to make it fly , for sure give you feedback!

My suggestion is to use these multiple actions at each waypoint where you want to stop recording video to take a photo, then resume taking video. So, if you have 5 waypoints where you want to do this, you would set up these multiple actions at all 5 of those waypoints. I hope this makes sense.

You can use the simulator and not leave the house in bad weather

Hey! bpa , a simulator in litchi app?
and you can do a mission that you already saved ?
thanks, Gordon

I already wrote to you about actions at points.

To turn on the simulator, you need to turn on the drone, and click on the bar at the top of the screen. The caption will change color to purple and the message “simulator” will be displayed. Further, all actions are as in a real flight, but the drone will not fly.

Exactly!! I would like Litchi devs to react and actively implement user requested features!
I paid for the app, and now I’m disappointed.

This very forum is a way to help us prioritise development of the most wanted features. We are always working to improve the app, unfortunately things may not be moving as fast as everyone wants, this is partly due to limited resources.
