Maven For Android – (beta)

###24/12/2022 update Maven Lite is now available for download on Google Play

original post:

The application is in a beta stage and we are working to reach the Play Store as soon as possible.

At launch the application will have very limited functions and will then be completed with subsequent updates

The android app will be called “Maven Lite” until it is fully functional of its iOS counterpart

The first feature available at launch will be the “virtual co-pilot” and will have all the capabilities of the iOS version including, follow me, orbit me, and cable cam

The variety of android devices is so high that we can’t be sure it works on every device, and we can’t test them all, so to avoid selling you an application that might not work we decided that you can download and try the application for free.

It will be impossible to record videos from the drone while using the virtual co-pilot. Video recording will be unlocked via an in app purchase.

This is one of the last tests:

Test with Maven for Android

IMPORTANT, currently Maven for Android is NOT available for download on any store or site. Until its availability is announced on this page, any “APK” you find on the internet is in all probability a scam

### UPDATE ###

In the video that I link below it is explained what it is

Maven 3.6 – Copilot

Maven 3.6 is available on the app store! It brings improvements to all the functions of the app and introduces a whole new function: the virtual co-pilot! Watch the video to find out what it is and how to use it! Check also the complete change log after the video

-Virtual Copilot

a totally new feature to the app, especially useful for drones without native Point of Interest functionality (e.g. Mavic Mini) choose a point on the map, then ask the copilot to control the Yaw Rotation and the camera to look at that point while you are free to manually fly the drone.

The copilot has also more advanced skill such as “orbit” and “cable cam” , check the included manual.

The copilot will open doors to great shots even to inexperienced pilots!

-Waypoint Mission Improvement:

1)Mission trimnow you can choose which waypoint to start and end the mission from without deleting waypoints

2) Interval photosnow you can take photos at intervals between waypoints, based on time or distance

3)rewrote the virtual stick algorithm again for drones without native waypoint mission capabilities (mavic mini and mavic air 2) you will see a big improvement in smooths in speed and direction changes

– Faster head tracking speed option in VR mode

-Improvement of the user interfacenow camera controls can be minimized for a less cluttered interface

-Added device charging options for remotes that allow it

-Fixed a bug where the corner radius of the second waypoint could not be saved in some situations
