This was a test shot which I'll redo when the foliage starts to fill out ... a great piece of American History and waterway on the New England coastline ... Damariscotta Lake - Bunkerhill & Camp Kieve P3P/Inspire 1: Windsurfer Copper Range Extenders Litchi...

Recenty I was able to plan and execute (with interference issues solved) a 2.5 mi. Litchi mission for a vignette to my Maine collection (P3P). I've just started the video editing which looks like it will be challenging to make it attractive, regardless of the subject matter. Here's a link to...

Just to understand, this applies ONLY to recert candidates who's 25 month periods expired between April and June 1, 2020. If you've lapsed before that and want to take the recurency, you're going to have to wait it out sounds like. Have I got this right?

I have a MakerBot 2x and an Ultimaker 3. The MakerBot 2x is a dual extrusion device but discontinued. The Ultimaker 3 (also duel extrusion) is twice the price (new about 4k but you can sometimes get a refurb for about 2500). The Ultimaker can print via Wi-Fi and has an internal camera for...

Careful, EVO2 is very much an unknown at this point. Can you say KARMA GoPro debacle? I would love to see some competition injected into the hardware stream to say the least.

I participated in the dronelink beta and thought they had some good ideas, though the interface needed to mature (at least at the time I beta'd it). When they went live, I thought they'd invite me to a copy of the platform -- they didn't. They did ask me to post my results though - pro bono -...

Although, note though that I am coming from the perspective that it is the mission PLANNING on the hub that is the real art. I have a high degree of confidence in the Litchi app and as long a that remains, the onus of subject capture, interest and artistic endeavor lies solely on my mission...

I have never NOT used POI.

Yes, for now. Often, large lucrative mapping projects sometimes start with one. Stay Safe and Stay Home ....

After looking at this mission, 90% of it has the camera rolling. I remain a bit confused. Why stop recording at all? Do you plan on doing any editing? Or are you saying you're merely testing the Litchi interfaces?

It sounds to me like you are asking Litchi and your Mavic to edit video in real time. I rarely use LItchi for still photos. If I need them I take them from the video footage usually, and if they are of sufficient quality. I've never actually tried the start recording, stop recording actions...

Some interesting ideas ... hmmmm ...

This is not a mapping mission per say, but I wan't to capture the vastness and activity of this rather large quarry producing as interesting and provocative a video I can. I would guestimate this as being around 100 acres. Have a look, ... that gold line is .7 miles as the crow flies. Also a...

I'm going to be shooting a very large, active gravel quarry in my state. Looks a bit daunting due to its size and the severe elevation changes. PLANNING: My first pass will be to provide a near real time mapping of the current state of the site from a safe and generaly constant altitude. I...

Do your NOTAMS for UAV (DROTAMS Lockheed refers to them as) appear on digital sectionals like SkyVector or ForeFlight etc. (Purple circle based on long/lat and radius)? Plus, there is some major UAV Ju-Ju in the Syracuse Univ. area on the sectionals. Wonder waz going on up THERE?
