AFAIK, you fly, as soon as you get out of battery, you land, go with your car, switch battery, then take off and resume mission.
Has anyone had success with a mini 3 pro?
I have a Mini 3 Pro. I created a waypoint mission, loaded the mission, clicked play & selected go to first waypoint. Nothing happened. I tried starting from the air & at altitude.
I’m guessing there is something really simply that I missed.
TIA
Did you receive an error message? Is your controller in “Normal” mode?
I tried again, I missed where it said where it said “NORMAL FLIGHT MODE“
I knew it was an ID10T problem

Hello!
New to the Litchi apps and impressed with what I’m finding. I was able to import a polygon from Google Earth to define my boundaries and then create a new area flight that looks to be exactly what I want in terms of coverage, shooting rate, etc.
What I can’t figure out is whether there is a way to break up the mission into pieces so I can span it across three batteries. The flight time as designed is longer than any one battery in my Mavic 3.
Is there a simple means to do this? I thought I’d export to CSV and break it up, but that option is not there yet. I could possibly do it with the KML file, but wanted to ask if I’m missing an easier way before I tackle that (and what the gotchas might be if I do that).
I have used WayPointMap some and it has a split feature on export that can be based around projected battery time. I’m looking for something to achieve the same.
I did find that I could load my exported overall mission into WayPointMap, then use its split feature to re-export into three missions… but I worry that WayPointMap might be altering or otherwise imposing its own behaviors on the re-exported files and I’d rather know I’m getting precisely what I see defined in Litchi, but across multiple missions.
IF there is a way to resume the mission manually while flying it and I can use a single mission, I’d be happy to do it… but this has over 800 waypoints in it and I’d rather not find out 30 minutes into the process that I can’t easily resume from a given point.
Thanks!
The way to do this right now is to use the resume function after changing the battery.

We’ve just pushed the following changes to the Hub:
[Area Mapping] new ‘Manual’ Capture Mode option for those who wish to control media capture manually
[Area Mapping] new ‘Photo Capture Mode’ advanced setting: choose between Auto, Interval or Waypoint Action. Auto will choose the best way to capture photos depending on drone model (Interval unless not supported)
added info tooltips for most waypoint and mapping flight settings
Hello Litchi team. The updated website based Litchi Mission Hub is missing key functionality - the area / transect mapping option. It seems it is only capable of linear or curvilinear flights now and not grid flights that are industry-required for DEMs, orthomosaics, and photogrammetry. Is there something I am missing? ChatGPT is no help with instructing me on what’s up here. Thanks.

Hi Litchi team,
First of all, congratulations on the app — it’s an excellent piece of software and extremely powerful in real-world use.
In Orbit mode, the drone does not always point exactly at the POI center during the orbit, so the subject ends up slightly off-center in photos.
I previously asked about this in another forum thread, but I’d like to understand if this is something currently being looked at.
Are there any plans to refine or improve the POI pointing accuracy in Orbit Mode in future updates?
Thanks for all the great work!

Area mapping is already supported. If by grid flight you mean doing several passes, that is something we hope to add in a future update soon.
