I have occasionally had an annoying problem and finally realized what was going on and how to avoid it. The iPad has a "feature" in which apps that aren't used for a while will automatically offload. More than once, I have been out in the field ready to make a flight and then suddenly realized that DJI GO and Litchi had been offloaded. Actually, I didn't realize what was going on, but the iPad tried to download the apps, which is hard to do in a remote area with no wifi. In one case, I was...

I experimented with using a P4 to get a line in place. For climbing trees, a bow and arrow rigged with a fishing line is often used. That approach is effective, but in some cases it's necessary to thread the needle with a near perfect shot. I once made such a shot that placed the arrow just over the desired fork. As shown in the attached photo, I used electrical tape to attached a light-weight wooden dowel to the P4. This keeps the line away from the props, especially after dropping the line...

Decided to try out the Litchi App but being conservative I seem to have been enthusiastic and set the height a bit high.
I planned the flight on the MissionHub and exported it to the iPad.
I did discover that apparently the gimbal can be controlled from the RC during the flight (no idea if this is good or not) but gimbal control probably operates with distance restrictions.
I also ran the flight on the Phantom 4 Pro just in case I managed to drive it into the ground.
It also appears that...
