    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.

    Yeah, there's obviously something different about your kit and warranty...

    Mapping flight might pass over people

    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 to take a hard look at if the juice is worth the...

    Mapping flight might pass over people

    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 foot traffic is not unsafe. The amount of foot...

    What combo do the M3T's come with because you can get them new with Worry-Free for $6600. Or are you scalping?

    Base Stations

    Maybe Event 38 Unmanned can help you out.

    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.

    Aerial Photogrammetry & Terrestrial LiDAR Integration

    Good morning from Texas! It's been pretty stale here as of late so I just wanted to cast a lure out there and try to get some discussion going. I'd like to get some experiences and thoughts on performing integrated capture using aerial photogrammetry and terrestrial LiDAR whether it be a mounted...
