Volatello app for Mavic mini?

Nick55 · Nov 9, 2019

Any chance Volatello could create a Mavic mini app like tellofpv? And add those features DJI left out? Like follow me and POIs?

With some luck I should know by end of the week.
Amazon has scheduled my MM for delivery on 13th, and I need a day or two to get an overview how the communication works. Currently I have no clue at all.

Thank heavens for all your sanity after the hype. Our registration in the UK started on Tuesday. Risible. But at least they ain't screwing us as comprehensively as threatened. But less than 250 grams and I hope comparatively low noise will mollify potential Colonel Blimps

Do you think you will be able to create an app for the Mavic Mini?

I think the answer was no.

I found an interesting thread.
[Mavic Mini] Re enable developer tools in DJI Assistant 2

[Mavic Mini] Re enable developer tools in DJI Assistant 2

I've been playing around with the DJI Assistant 2 with the Mini and figured out how to enable the developer tools back. I wasn't able to do much with them but maybe someone can figure out how to write the config params like in the other Mavics? Assistant still is an Electron based application...

Just found this regarding SDK support for Mavic Mini:

"The DJI Mavic Mini is expected to support SDK in April 2020, including WSDK, MSDK."

SDK for Mavic mini?

When does the SDK become availbe for Dji mavic mini?

I will be looking into this when its released.I guess not exactly what I want, because all I could do is basically access the functions DJI allows me to use. Only benefits would be activetrack and other smart modes, and VR functionality.

I'd prefer to have a direct link to the drone instead of going through the controller, but the SDK won't support that.

VR functionality would be a guaranteed sale from me! Awesome!

Actually I think that is what I would look into because honestly it would be very hard to compete against Litchi. Litchi has a massive feature set and a solid 4 star rating, price isn't outrageous so its a market that is more or less taken. At least if Litchi adds all the features missing in DJI Fly.

A dedicated VR FPV App could be a niche, similar to Auriga for the Bebop. We shall see.
