ALONG WITH JACK ALLEN, our first class videographer, I'm learning to trust Litchi as the pilot of our campus DJI drone.
With the requisite amount of planning, @FlyLitchi takes our drone on missions faster and more efficiently than we're able to maneuver ourselves. Now I'm looking at ways of improving in-flight video performance through the use of a larger screen or by sitting in a shaded location while the drone does its pre-programmed work.
We're putting the drone to good use, flattening its four batteries nearly every wind-swept day on our Clonmel campus. Between breaks in the action, we talk about important items like how we know where it is safe to fly. It's rare that a week passes without us talking to concerned citizens about our rights of overflight. This week, we're deep in conversation with the film crews located inside Cahir Castle, a point of interest on our Fly Litchi map.
