[QUOTE="Tribar, post: 112870, member: 343"] It's NOT the GO4 app that has a fairly pathetic range, it's the smart device's wifi strength. Dronelink is a system (app) primarily for flying automated missions (waypoint missions). During such a flight all kinds of calculations have to made on the fly to controll the hight, speed, direction and yaw of the aircraft AND the tilt of the camera. Some of these calculations (i.e. speed changes and camera tilt) can not be done bij the aircarft itself and that's where the smart device (app) comes to aid. In order for this to function there HAS to be a connection between the aircraft and the smart device, where the remote controller has solely the function of amplifier to extend the range. Theoretically Dronelink should work without a RC as long as there is a connection between the AC and the smart device. The same goes for other (3rd-party) apps like Litchi. So....Unfortunatily you will NOT gain any range. However, by using Litchi you can fly waypoint missions further out, but you have to keep in mind that speed changes and gimbal control will NOT work anymore when connection is lost. Manually flying with Litchi still depends on the wifi range (strength) of your smart device, just like GO4. Litchi allows you to control Wi-Fi based drones (Spark, Phantom 3 Standard, Mavic Air/Pro) with a bluetooth controller when no DJI remote controller is connected. If you are looking for a compatible bluetooth controller, we recommend the Mad Catz CTRL i for iOS. Litchi will automatically recognize and accept input from a bluetooth controller after it is paired with your mobile device. [URL unfurl="true"]https://flylitchi.com/help[/URL] [/QUOTE]
