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!

I'm getting video unavailable.

Maybe when you are shooting stills to save your mechanical shutter?

You could contact the manufacturer and would still get some theoretical suggestion. I have seen many mirrorless shutter tests at 500K so who's to say what a completely different kind of tech can do. All I know is that people who run 0.7s interval and/or "smart" obliques are going to lose their...

Most professional DSLR's have a rating of 300,000 actuations and that is with hardware that is quite a bit bigger than what is in a drone. I am at about 10K/month right now and can expect about 30 months so I budget a drone every two years which also fits the battery plan I use.

I understand the point of establishing dedicated control to a parcel but in the Engineering, GIS, Construction worlds in Texas it's the opposite. The control is geodetic and derived from NGS and local traverses establish "site" control and the boundary is geographically located according to...

My experience with what I think @JFlamm is mentioning is the fact that in construction we have PLS control sheets in the contract documents and the Contractor is held to +/- 0.10ft for general site work that can be tied back into those benchmarks and those benchmarks alone. We have to ask for...
