    I am not following you. Did you reprocess in Drone Deploy with the new EPSG Code? And how close was vertical previously? The M3E wouldn't help here, if you are using properly measured and spaced GCP's.

    Thanks for sharing that positive trend you have noticed, Dave.

    Interestingly, here in rural Washington, I used to get approached all the time, from 2015 through about 2020, by "concerned" citizens . Now, not so much. It seems like a lot more people realize that drones are just tools like anything else...

    I've gotten several responses by PM. But everyone is apparently looking for a price rather than making an offer. So, I've edited the first post with a price. The first to respond with the asking price or reasonable offer will get the remote.

    responded, thanks!

    For sale is the SDK Remote Controller that can be used with a Phantom 4 RTK drone. Photos in 3rd post. The remote is in very good condition, and is ready to work. If you are looking, you probably know that the DJI Phantom 4 RTK SDK Remote...

    A new drone is available from Soten from Japan. It looks to be a competitor for the Mavic 3 IMO, and has some interesting features that equal or rival the Mavic 3 E. Swappable payloads (20MP Mechanical Shutter, Multi-Spectral, EO/Thermal (320)...

    I would be surprised if DJI replaces shutters. Maybe the whole camera. If a shutter/camera lasts 200,000 images, the drone has far more than paid for itself. Unless you are not using it as a business tool. (my opinion)

    Okay, got it. I was unsure if you were referring to using an RTK network for implementing an RTK or PPK workflow. But I didn't think that's what you meant. If drone ops, even those that know what they are doing, color within the legal lines...

    Please elaborate on this point.

    For sure. Counties themselves serve up property line grids on their website. They are not accurate of course, and you don't see the survey boards going after the counties for providing the general info. Uniformed public can print out one of...

    There are reasons why we PLS' have pages and pages of statutes and laws that we have to abide by. There are reasons why obtaining professional licensure is an arduous process that involves college degree, years of experience, and state/national...

    Absolutely. And rightfully so. On the other hand, you have state survey boards in some locals getting all bent out of shape when some drone operator provides an orthorectified photograph with the disclaimer that it is not accurate to any...
