Litchi App: Settings and flight mission execution

The Use of third party apps may affect DJI care refresh or liabilities. Please refer to the DJI Care Refresh Terms of Service for further information.

Litchi is one of the two options to execute flight routes by volateq via cloud service. The other option is the Volafly app, which can be used for the DJI Mavic 2 models (Mavic 3 under preparation):

The main drawback of litchi is the fact, that still two apps are required, as Camera and aircraft settings are not available in Litchi. They need to be adapted using DJI pilot app:

Assuming you have installed Litchi as described here (Litchi App: Download and Installation ) and you have properly set the adjustment of drone and payload as described above, the execution of automatic flights with litchi is straightforward. Prior to use Litchi, some of the adjustments must be checked:

  • Go to the general settings in the Litchi app and adapt the map safe radius to your missions. 

  • Put Map Engine on Google Maps and choose 1500m Map Safe Area Radius.

  • Main Screen: move from FPV to Waypoint:

  • In the folder symbol, you can access the available flight routes uploaded to your account

  • Select and visualize the flight route. Clicking the play button will load and execute the flight.

  • Note: We have experienced many problems with obstacle avoidance of the M2EA. Please disable obstacle avoidance when flying with LITCHI.

  • The drone returns fully automatically to the starting position and also lands automatically.
    When the mission is finished, extract the SD card and upload the data to the Volateq cloud
