    4 Square mile ranch

    A mission of 4 sqmi (640 acres) would be close to 2.5 hours of actual flight time at 200ft AGL, so add the time it would take for multiple setups to maintain VLOS. Make sure to use real-time terrain following. Travel to and from the site, data management time, processing time and deliverables...

    SOLD - PRICE DROP - $145 DJI RC Remote Controller For Sale in Excellent Condition - Free USA Shipping

    How about Venmo? Zelle is not good business practice.

    DJI & Autel Ban possibly nexr week ?

    Love the AI voiceover and video thumbnail featuring something that's not even in the video. I'll believe about 20% of this actually works as designed without being propped up on a stick.

    DJI & Autel Ban possibly nexr week ?

    Not the band, but just saw this. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/06/restoring-american-airspace-sovereignty/ The executive order mostly helps the commercial sUAS world by pushing the FAA to move faster on rules for flying drones beyond visual line of sight. That’s a big...

    Leica RTC 360 vs Artec Ray 2

    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 in another software.

    How to inspect quality of flat roofs

    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, they may want the serial tags from the RTUs...

    Droners i.o pay to play

    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 include drive time, fuel and mobilization and...

    Droners i.o pay to play

    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 sweatshop factory workers and not holding Pilots...

    Droners i.o pay to play

    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. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7328971295570702336/

    DJI M30T and M3T drones, NIB

    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.

    DJI M30T and M3T drones, NIB

    Yeah, because asking questions about the merchandise you’re trying to sell is hijacking your post. Good luck.
