DJI Inspire 2 X5S VR headset tracking with Litchi app test.

Few days ago I did a new firmware V01.00.240 update on my DJI Inspire 2. After the update I wanted to test fpv and gimbal control using VR headset using Android phone and Litchi app.
Here is a short video:


So I had few crashes with the Litchi app. Also camera movements were not smooth with Gimbal Speed 2 setting. It wasn't like that before the update. Day later I received official email from Litchi:

DJI Firmware Update Issue
Dear Litchi Pilots,
There is currently an issue with the recently released firmwares for Mavic Pro (v01.03.0500), Inspire 2 (v01.0.0240) and Phantom 4 Pro (v01.03.0418) where the drone will fly erratically in some of Litchi’s flight modes. If you already installed one of these firmwares, we highly recommend not using these flight modes until the issue is fixed with a DJI firmware update. The following flight modes are affected: VR with Immersive/Joystick Head Tracking active, Follow, Focus and Track. All other flight modes (including FPV, Waypoint, Orbit and VR with Immersive/Joystick Head Tracking OFF) are unaffected.
The Litchi Team


I hope DJI or Litche team will resolve this problems soon. It so easy to control camera just moving the head and looking around. But I'm not really sure if I'll be using it for a professional film or commercial shoot.

A new (March 21, 2017) Litchi update:
WHAT'S NEW - due to a bug in the DJI firmware, Follow, Focus, Track and VR with Immersive/Joystick Head Tracking modes are no longer usable with the following drone models and firmware versions: Mavic Pro (v01.03.0500), Inspire 2 (v01.0.0240) and Phantom 4 Pro (v01.03.0418). If you are using one of these firmware versions and wish to continue using these flight modes, either downgrade to a previous firmware version using the DJI Assistant 2 or wait for DJI to release a new firmware that will fix this bug I hope DJI will fix the firmware in nearest feature.

A new (April 12, 2017) Litchi update:
DJI Firmware Update Issue Dear Litchi Pilots, The new DJI firmware updates for and fixed the issue introduced in the previous firmware versions which would cause erratic behavior in some of Litchi's flight modes. All of Litchi's flight modes are safe to use again with the latest firmware version for the Mavic Pro and Phantom 4 Pro. The issue still exists in the current firmware for the Inspire 2.
