[OPEN BETA] Litchi Pilot

Yes. The new Litchi Pilot app is being written to support the Mini 3 and other DJI drones supported with the MSDKv5.

Waypoints are the main feature being focused on in the new Litchi Pilot app, at least initially. Litchi does not provide “Quick Shots”, if you want that feature, you should use DJI Fly. I’m not sure of the current status of “Tracking” in Litchi Pilot”. I’m sure it will be supported eventually if not already.

No. It will be released when the people at Litchi feel it is ready. The release date will be a trade-off between having enough features implemented to make it worth the cost and making it available as quickly as possible.

I try to keep the forum tidy. What would you like me to clean up?

ok thank you
about the forum
I don’t find it very practical for finding, for example, the questions I asked.
I have read several topics, but nothing specific for my case.
but you have provided an answer to my questions and I thank you for that.
I will wait.
anyway, since this morning I no longer have a drone, I put it in a tree and to get it back I had to drop it (about 8m high).
a rear arm is broken and the battery has a fault (4 LEDs lit at the same time and flashing).
and unfortunately, by the time I picked it up it was left in the rain for about 1 hour.

So your complaint is more about the search function results than it is about tidiness. I too find that search results in forums, in general, is often less than ideal. Getting good search results often requires a number of attempts and is almost an art in itself. I tried doing a search for some of your questions. Here is what I found.

Search term: Mini 3

The top hits were to threads other than this one. So I agree, searching for Mini 3 results did not lead me to this thread. However, somehow you found this thread (which is the best for Mini 3 support questions) to post your question.

Search term: Quickshots

The top hit led me directly to the answer.

Search term: Mini 3 Tracking

Many hits not specific to the new Litchi Pilot app.

Search term: Release date

Top hit directly answers the question.

Conclusion: Searching leads one directly to the answer only about 50% of the time. This is about what I expect based on my experience. Searching often requires more effort that one would expect.

Hi All,
Anyone know a release date for this? Looking to get the Mini 3 Pro, but at this rate wondering if it’s better to go for the Mini 4 Pro and assume that the turnaround on Litchi for this would be relatively short given the similarities between the two.

It will be released when its ready, as for the mini 4, there is no guarantee that DJI will add it to the SDK, and if they do, and that’s a big IF, on past history it would be about this time next year

Does anyone know these values?

@Peter_Cabrera_Gariba
Is this a feature of the Beta version of Litchi that is being developed?

Translated from Portuguese to English using Google Translate
I have the Mini 2 and Mini 3
I use Litchi for the Mini 2. Looking forward to the launch for the Mini 3. So I would like to know the difference in time to map the same area.

The sensor size of the Mini 2 is not 6.00x4.60mm (that’s not a 4:3 aspect ratio).
I googled 2 different values for a 1/2.3 sensor:
6.26x4.70mm
6.17x4.55mm

The Mini 3 has a 1/1.3 sensor, which is 9.60x7.20mm and has a crop value of 3.58.
The 36mm equivalent focal length is 24mm, the actual focal length is 24/3.58=6.70mm

I had searched but hadn’t found this information. Thank you very much.

I can’t wait for the new product! Just don’t pull a DJI with the pricing. I’m just gonna expect it for Father’s Day 2024. Js.:grin:

With the way DJI are going, you might be lucky…

Hi. How is the testing issue in the subject of 360x180 panorama. Will it be possible to define more images vertically and horizontally? Will it be possible to change the camera settings for each sort of photos? I ask because it is not possible to be a tester at the moment, and the support team has not agreed to join the team of testers.

Hi Litchi Team

I have purchased both the IOS and Android apps in error trying to get my DJI Mini Pro 3 working. I have had to resort to dronelink beta to get anywhere. Please could you consider me for the Litchi Pilot android beta as I much prefer the polished interface of Litchi. I understand that the signup is full but would appreciate consideration if a space becomes avaliable. I contribute to other beta forums on various apps for both Android and IOS and will participate and give feedback.
