    Thanks, that really clarified things. Much appreciated!

    Artec licenses Leica hardware so the difference is the software. Leica's Cyclone Register 360 is for surveying workflows and Artec Studio is more for object modeling/meshing, so if you want it real-world relevant you are going to have to do that...

    thank you for your suggestion

    We typically do roof inspections from 20-30ft above the roof with a gimbal angle of 75deg and around 8mph. I also do a crabwalk around the perimeter catching the top 3rd of the face of wall. If it is a commercial building with rooftop HVAC units...

    It’s not whether I think it’s OK or not. That’s how the free market system works and you’re never ever gonna change it. Supply and demand as long as there’s an ample supply of beginners it’s gonna stay that way. As long as there’s an ample...

    There is no problem that’s how the free market works. If they can’t find a job for better than $30 an hour then that’s the job they should work. It’s up to the individual to get a skill that’s worth more than $30 an hour not simply demand it...

    Lol, I do this on a daily basis, if you only had any clue how many companies I have consulted and the hundreds that I have walked through process pro bono in drone and GNSS forums... and this isn't China. Taking work for $60 a mission does not...

    You completely missed the point of the post. The work that I do is highly specialized and I do not work for less than $150/hr. and in some instances $250. If you don't understand my line of thinking on why companies treating drone Pilot's like...

    Yeah, they sent an email at the end saying how amazing the turnout was. Utter BS. I blew them and Zeitview up on LinkedIn and they want no part of it. Both need to be boycotted. Spread the word and get after 'em...

    Since I wouldn’t use them for free, why would I pay?

    I don't think their launch went well as we got bombarded with emails regarding a pre-register with only 100 spots prior to the launch. I figured they'd want money so I never clicked on them. I think we received 3 emails in the hours leading up...

    No, you’re just trying to troll my price with no intention of buying.
  • adm_geomatics
    Jokes on you, I have been looking at buying an M3T for months. Otherwise, I would have skipped right past you. I'll keep looking.
  • adm_geomatics
    Yeah, because asking questions about the merchandise you’re trying to sell is hijacking your post. Good luck.

    Nope, exact same. Well, not quite because you linked to two different DJI care versions. Ours have basic case 1yr. Both those companies you linked to are sold out. That’s also old pricing from before the tariffs took effect. They’ve probably been...
  • adm_geomatics
    Yeah, there's obviously something different about your kit and warranty...
  • adm_geomatics
    Exactly. A big difference is whether a Pilot actually thinks about "Am I being safe?" Some care and some fly all willy-nilly without a second thought. My rule of thumb is if I question whether or not something is safe more than once then I need...
  • adm_geomatics
    Love it! I can tell you, from following general aviation since about 1996, that there is indeed a lot of personal interpretation in following the FARs. In most cases, the ambiguity whether a particular operation is within the scope of the reg is...
  • adm_geomatics
    Let's look at the ambiguities in the regulation, because it is almost impossible to clearly say what is allowed. We should all be able to confidently say what is absolutely not allowed but in my case, transiting traffic and flying over sparse...
  • adm_geomatics
    What combo do the M3T's come with because you can get them new with Worry-Free for $6600. Or are you scalping?

    Emlid is the clear choice. Not even close.

    Maybe Event 38 Unmanned can help you out.

    adm_geomatics replied to the thread Base Stations.
    I would recommend the Emlid RS3 hands down. It 1) costs less, 2) is a Surveying system and not just a base that can shoot a few points and 3) willl get you FAR better support. Smart move getting off cloud NTRIP.
