    "Drone tilted, place it on a flat surface before taking off" - while flying?!

    So the other day I did 7 batteries worth of Litchi flights and got the message several times during flights. I ignored it every time and it did the missions successfully. Log shows no abnormalities at all.

    "Drone tilted, place it on a flat surface before taking off" - while flying?!

    I tried it but to no avail. Also got it using Android and iOS, which tells me it's not a local bug.

    "Drone tilted, place it on a flat surface before taking off" - while flying?!

    It was not particularly windy, at least af ground level, but I guess that's a possibility. It happened on fast parts of the mission. I guess it's prudent to ground the bird if I see this again... Thanks!

    "Drone tilted, place it on a flat surface before taking off" - while flying?!

    Hi all, I was flying a Litchi mission today and during the flight I got the message in the title. I'm not sure of the wording because it came and went and I didn't get a screenshot, but it was more or less what it said there. I took off from a flat-ish surface (asphalt road) and the drone flew...

    Long exposure time lapse at night

    I didn't by accident. I actually set both waypoints as gimbal -90º, but the second one didn't "stick" so it interpolated from -90 to 0. Still, the main objective was to see how it went, so it was useful as an experiment :)

    Long exposure time lapse at night

    Here's a first attempt at an aerial time lapse at night. Turned out pretty decent in the first few seconds. Got quite blurry as the gimbal moved up towards 0º. Used Litchi with a speed of 0.5 kph between waypoints, manual exposure at iso 100 and 2s, one photo every 4s (was actually a little...

    DJI Pilot - says IMU needs calibration but it gets stuck in the first phase

    Doesn't hurt to try! Will do and report back!

    DJI Pilot - says IMU needs calibration but it gets stuck in the first phase

    I see multiple reports of it working with Spark. Example: Spark + DJI Pilot app I think the screen you posted are newly supported drones (though DJI indeed doesn't support DJI Pilot with Spark) That might well be. Maybe people who flew successfully with DJI Pilot did it before some kind of...

    DJI Pilot - says IMU needs calibration but it gets stuck in the first phase

    Here's the screen it's always stuck at. When I go back to DJI Go 4, sometimes it'll say IMU needs calibration and it goes ahead till the end. That is, DJI Pilot not only isn't able to calibrate IMU, it also messes up the calibration trying to do it. Any ideas? I'd really like to use DJI Pilot :)

    Spark video and photo thread

    Ever wondered what happens if you take a 2s exposure yawing directly above a crossroads looking down at night when cars are coming through? Well wonder no more!

    DJI Pilot - says IMU needs calibration but it gets stuck in the first phase

    Hello from below the very very tropical equator, Spark 317! Thanks for the warm welcome :) I've seen that problem reported elsewhere, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. On Go4 I can calibrate it fine. On the Pilot app it's apparently the same procedure (at least same directions - start...

    DJI Pilot - says IMU needs calibration but it gets stuck in the first phase

    Hi all! I just got a Spark last week and am trying DJI Pilot out. I've seen elsewhere that people have used it successfully with the Spark. I was able to plan my mission just fine and connect to the Spark. I even see the camera. But when I try to launch it, it says IMU needs calibration. I...
