If you're talking about the U.S. National Security Drone Act of 2023 it is already law as part of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act and DJI and Autel are both named. Mind you this is specifically for Federal procurement but we do quite a bit of Federal work and both are not allowed...

I'm pretty sure Autel is on the ban list as well. That's why Randall Warnas and Anzu started producing the Mavic 3 clones.

That's correct, the adapter is for any Mavic 3 series battery and yes all of the voltage values during maintenance are configurable. Depends on how much you fly but I average about 10-15 batteries a work week excluding if I have any personal projects on the weekend and I have 5 batteries so...

Keeping in mind that you never want to drop individual cells lower than 3.4v. Here's what we use. Adapter Cable Charger

Totally agree. We use FH2 at work and I started using it for my personal business about 8 months ago and just now feel comfortable with it and having access to the new modes has been great. I'd use DroneDeploy but they just don't have their RTK workflow down yet and the inability to use my local...

It seems that the US govt is serious enough about this that there will be controls in place to monitor Anzu activity with a high level of scrutiny. As far as access to the code goes 3rd party developers only have access to what DJI releases in the form of SDK's which is why more than 50% of...

I would put money on the fact that unless DJI is secretly behind this venture that there is no way in hell they are going to share their proprietary code and in effect is why Aloft is involved. If you look at the situation in another way and the US govt were involved it could almost be reverse...

News of this started flying around our organization yesterday as we currently operate a large fleet of M3E's and M350's with RTK and a ban would put us in a really bad spot in Surveying and Construction. I also operate my own services company so I'm not so excited about the pricing but at least...

DJI Pilot 2 only uses AMap and/or MapBox. Creating a custom ortho in QGIS and then using the XYZ (MBtiles) exporter is the easiest free way we have found. Setting up your own WMS is the best but is then reliant on data. You can even add content on top of the map in QGIS if you want. I added the...

Using QGIS. https://docs.qgis.org/3.28/en/docs/user_manual/processing_algs/qgis/rastertools.html#generate-xyz-tiles-directory

Create your own mbtiles.

I still prefer orange 5-gallon bucket lids with a single 60D and shiner. It's unfortunate that noone will train their software to auto-rec them. Far easier to see than any of these in a wider variety of environments and materials. They don't warp and last for quite a long time making them...

1. Make sure your UI is set to imperial. 2. You should most likely be using EPSG 9748, NAD83 (2011) Alabama East USft. 3. Make sure your Export configuration matches.

Working now for me. Thanks!
